As someone who has grown up around artists and liberals my whole life: I want to say, “Hamilton” is an incredibly well-written, well-produced, true-to-history feat! The phenomenon is cause for hope that liberals and young generations of "minority" Americans will identify with our founders after years and years of being conditioned to view America as fundamentally a bad place and our founders as fundamentally hostile, racist people -- and not for the great, complex, robust characters they were!
Give it more time, and eventually more will eventually be drawn to conservatism, which ideally leads to embracing the Judeo-Christian principles and our Creator God which underpin them.
Regardless,
I think a basic rule of thumb is to not enter hostile, traditional “enemy” territory (in this case, Broadway/Hollywood) JUST after a battle while the blood is still wet on the ground from defeat so to speak. Hence why I think the timing for the VP-elect's attendance was not right.
Abraham Lincoln understood this! This is why Civil War reconstruction was such a disaster because he died before being able to oversee it. The North did not give the South enough time to sort of recover itself from the initial war itself! (A far more extreme example, yes, but the idea still applies!)
"Making America Great Again" will not just happen in a day and President-elect Trump did a great job in reaching out to groups of people considered traditionally opposed to the conservative message: African-Americans, et al. It's a start!
Yes, and he is NOT alone in his sentiments.
Did Abe understand it before or after being shot in a theater?
In physics, a Hamiltonian is a complex quantum equation. In horse racing, it is something very different.
by an actor.
I know....I know the irony! I meant before of course. :-/! So as I said, if anything we should be grateful all the actor last night did was give a kumbaya lecture.
“I think a basic rule of thumb is to not enter hostile, traditional “enemy” territory”
That’s called a no-go zone and exactly why Trump got elected. The Theater graduates need to grow up and act like professionals.
hope the public catches on to the producers bias in having put out casting call for “non whites” and the casts shenanigans when Pence was in attendance and instead of the show being able to spread to there cities I hope the public starts to boycott this production and it closes before inauguration day.
Maybe we should go see the show... about 50 of us every night ought to do
You don’t think NASCAR audience members would boo Hillary Clinton if she showed up at this point in time?
Actually, I really she may have gotten more respect...
Pretty much whenever I’ve been to the theater I get a lecture about my cell phone and a pitch to give money for AIDS.
Booth was a Democrat.
There is no excuse for such childish behavior, no matter how hip and cool this play supposedly is.
So it's just fine if someone like Brad Pitt plays Martin Luther King.
So it Pence's fault because he triggered liberals into acting like entitled idiots by showing up at the theater. Sorry not buying that.
Interesting!
Really? This is the state of theater today?
Hip hop history? Ebonic civics?
Sad.
The show may very well be heated. But to bring it to a stop to castigate a member of the audience, who’s only crime was to buy tickets to the show; is in EXTREMELY POOR TASTE, and quite UNPROFESSIONAL!
If he had been heckling the performers, that would have been quite another matter. He was not.
This is on them, and their cousins in Hollywierd. Indeed the whole entertainment industry that seems think that they know better than us poor rubes from fly-over country, and that somehow, their shit don’t stink.
Keep it up. But be advised: We’ve grown weary of it. Or haven’t you been paying attention?
Yes I AGREE.
But that the BAD BEHAVIOR is to be EXPECTED! (Not excusing it!) But from a PR standpoint, I would have advised Pence to sit it out for now because it becomes fodder for the media! CASE and POINT!
The crowd booing was their right. The lecture was out of line. And then to call it “love”?
These people are straight out of the pages of 1984.
I know a lot of people who are dealing with inner struggles because of the rift between how they’re living and what they know to be right.
