It's All About Conservatives Attacking Liberals


Liberals tend to feel less threatened by their constitutional freedoms than conservatives. Why is that?? Why do conservatives always seem afraid?
Communism has never been popular in America. Americans don't want it. We reject it. We love our freedom. Even with our Bankers scamming hundreds of billions of dollars during the "W" years, we still love our capitalist system.

Is it because conservatives are frustrated that liberals have talent and they do not? After all, conservatives are constantly complaining about "Liberal Hollywood."

On the conservative side is..Tom Selleck, Dennis Miller, Shannon Doherty??....not very good. Can you name any others?
Now that Jon Voight's career is way behind him, he's out making speeches on the Republican's behalf.
Voight turned in some great performances, he's a step way-up from Selleck. Charlton Heston was okay, maybe Voight wants to fill his shoes.

But on the liberal side (example..ACTUALLY campaigning for Gore in 2000-Robert De Niro, Stevie Wonder, Barbra Steisand, Stephen King.)
Mick Jagger (criticized Bush in 2005 with a song called "Sweet Neocon.")
I mean, those are top entertainers. The best. Legends. And I could name a lot more.

It's also interesting to note, that decades after the 1950's black-listing, the Bush administration was completely clueless when the enemy attacked the United States on 9/11/2001. Maybe the Bush Whitehouse was secretly still watching actors..LOL. This film really shows the stupidity and childishness of that strategy.

Let's hope that Jon Voight helped dissipate some of their hatred toward Hollywood, last week.
I hope it was just a smoke-screen.
