I either watch or don't watch movies and shows because of the content and storylines, not because of the celebrity's political affiliation.

If I refrained from watching actors or reading books by authors that conflicted in any way with my political philosophy, there would be very little (if any) shows, movies or books that I would watch or read....

What do you think they are doing with all that cash and publicity they receive from all the people who watch their shows and movies?

Try it and see how little you miss.

Not going to a movie or buying a book by a liberal, has more to do with NOT puting money in their pocket, than it does with refusing to hear their liberal garbage. I'll watch their movies on TV & read most any of their books that I happen to find in the trash.

That is precisely why I do not watch many movies, tv shows, read certain books, etc. I used to read Stephen King alot until his novels started having a liberal slant to them. I started reading Dean R. Koontz years ago (first book I read by him was a paperback I picked up at the airport back in 1977). Much better writer than King and his views - while not strictly conservative - seem to be anti-Government. I enjoy his way of dealing with evil. Once I find out the political and/or lifestyle of an artist that I do not like, I refuse to pay them any money. Elton John - came out of the closet in 1976 - that's when I stopped buying his stuff. K.D. Lang - same thing. Queen - same thing. I do not care how good it is - I refuse to have my money knowingly support that lifestyle. I have always liked The Beatles but when whacko Jacko bought up their songs, I refused to buy any more Beatle music.

Same thing with movies and television. If it is an actor or actress that I do not agree with, I do not give them any of my business.
