No single community in America has done more to destroy this nation than Hollywood.
The "airheads" of Hollywood are creeping out of the woodwork again. They seem to slink forth every national election to prop up their candidate, from the socialist left, and to denigrate any conservative who dares offer himself, or herself, to the American people as an alternative to those who would make the US into a carbon copy of the limp-wristed socialist states in Europe. (I keep asking… if the Hollywood leftists love Europe so much, why don't they go ahead move there… and STAY there? (I suspect one could fairly easily create a national fund open to contributors who would like to make a contribution toward the price of a one-way plane ticket for any Hollywood elitist who yearns to move to Europe.) Out here in the hinterlands we are fed up with their hedonist behavior.
Yes, and we are fed-up with their self-appointed expertise in diplomacy, and in politics in general. Their slavish propping-up of one of our more decadent left wing administrations was a disgusting display of their sheer lack of morals and total disregard for the great mass of this country's citizens who attempt, everyday, to live a life of morality and responsibility for their spouse, for their families, and for the families of their fellow Americans.
Hollywood's rabid attacks on the current administration and the GOP's candidates for President and especially Vice-President, has just underscored their vacuous, brainless, emotion based hate of anything even approaching Conservative. Somehow, they have managed to forget that they are ONLY ENTERTAINERS … much like the court jesters of old they are "hangers on" to be found near the centers of power but having no input into the execution of that power. They are the "useful idiots" of left wing politics in America. And they have no clue!
No single community in America has done more to destroy this nation than Hollywood. None. Their efforts have lowered the morals of America's youth to the lowest common denominator… and then… lowered it some more.
Can we continue to believe they create movies for the sake of the art of entertainment? How can we not suspect the movies they create aren't propaganda tools?
Hollywood's utter disregard for morality is disgusting. When we think they have sunk as low as it is possible for one to sink, they sink even lower.
And now… they want to dictate, to average Americans, how their government should conduct the people's business. They call into question the veracity of a President, and a government, duly elected by the people of the US. They rant and rave about the US, it's government, it's people, and it's moral code… plus, they undermine the war efforts of this country by propping up dictators and publicly slandering the US by denegrating our President while visiting countries abroad.
While many of the top tier actors, and actresses, haven't even a high school diploma, they know they are smarter than you and I because they can ACT AS IF THEY ARE. It seems to us they have come to believe their own press releases!
Not satisfied with acting fantasies out on film, they have stepped a notch lower to acting those left wing fantasies out in "real life". It is difficult for me to grasp that they apparently do not understand that their celluloid personalities buys them no appreciable credibility with the voters. Surely, they cannot be that shallow? But, then again, maybe I am being too gracious here.
In our opinion, Hollywood would be better served, and so would the American voter, if Hollywood's actors and actresses would confine their play acting roles to the stage and film and leave the heavy lifting of such things as the contemplation of the Wall Street meltdown, or whether the polar bears are dying out, or the Artic ice pack is melting away, or our oceans are dying, or… well, you get the picture… to those among the American voters equipped for moderate thinking.
Actors/jesters are there to entertain. Once they begin to take themselves seriously, their value to society is much diminished.
