Live long and...vote for Hillary Clinton?

A bevy of "Star Trek" cast and crew members from multiple generations signed an open letter Thursday by the Facebook group "Trekkies Against Trump," blasting GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and arguing against a third-party "protest vote" in the November election...

“William Shatner apparently did not sign this.”

Shatner, DeForest Kelley, and Leonard Nimoy are the only actors from the original Star Trek that most casual watchers of the show (not Trekkies) remember or care about, and Nimoy and Kelley are dead. Of course, they may still vote for Hillary in the election!

‘Jonathan Frakes’

Just what I’d expect from a number two.

Jeri Ryan was used by the 0bama campaign to win the Illinois Senate seat. You realize that, of course?

Bill Clinton found out about how ruthless 0bama's "associates" were in 2008.

Well, at least his dead best friend in Arkansas did...

Thank goodness Shatner didn’t sign. He has a degree in Business.
I loved the original and tNG.

I'm still a Star Trek fan....even with this baloney.

 

The music of my youth was Bruce Springsteen, I cannot tell you how many times I listened to Live 75-85 CD set. I think because of it I have a strong preference to LIVE music as opposed to studio over processing. I'm a huge fan of The Boss, but I am 180 degrees opposite to him on all things political. Same goes for Tom Hanks who is without a doubt the best actor of his generation, huge fan, just don't care for his politics. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy his movies.

 

When it comes to politics, the last place you should turn to for guidance of any sort is Hollywood.

“William Shatner apparently did not sign this.”


Yeah, that stuck out like a sore thumb. Captain Kirk’s silence means that he wants Trump...who is bold like Kirk, who flips off those in power like Kirk, who looks at “impossible” problems and imagines their solutions.

Screw all the rest of them. I’ve paid my last dime to ever watch any of those movies. Entertainers and sports stars should stick with what they do well, and mess out of politics (though, of course, they can vote for and contribute to whomever they like, just like the rest of us - I have no problem with that).

Andy Griffith was a major-league Commie moonbat a$$hole. He was more like Lonesome Rhodes in “A Face In The Crowd” than Andy Taylor.

He already did an Andy of Mayberry against John McCain—along with Ron Howard.

I see both members of the “Benson” contingent of Trek signed this garbage, including Odo and Dumbo Petey.

He’s the smart one, knowing not to aggravate the base.
Science fiction fans are strongly libertarian and conservative, though there are liberals in the crowd. It is only Hollywood that is far left.
