Note that according to the article, the ‘child abuse’ charge came about because the boyfriend he threatened was 17. No ‘sex’ involved.

That's my point. They would leave themselves open to being accused of being soft on a "child abuser". Political poison.

So, they let this guy who PROTECTED his child rot in prison.

The prosecutor, cops, and Scott should be strung up.

“I don’t support any actor, musician, author or entertainer - or anyone else who would like money from my pocket - if their political bent is directly opposed to fairly Conservative values. Or, if they are just a raging, barking moonbat liberal.’


A lot of people who take money from your pocket may be liberals.

Your doctor.your airline pilot,or the plumber. Who cares?

They provide a service and you pay for it.

Entertainers and authors do the same thing.

You are right, in that anyone may be completely against my values as a Conservative, Christian, American.

Why does that stop me from trying to find and support like-minded people or businesses? Why should I pay for the work that puts money into the pocket of a George Clooney?

*I* care, a lot. I probably do more research than others in this endevour and it is completely worth it to me.

Just because someone provides a service does not obligate me to pay for it. There are many options for entertainment and everything else that don’t involve supporting a liberal.

I really can live without their work. If more people did likewise maybe the left would take a hint.

Good day to you.
