It seems like everyone has been making lists lately of all the big mouths in Hollywood who like to spew their hate speech against President Bush and share their ignorance about foreign affairs. There's even a website dedicated to the subject: www.hollywoodhalfwits.com.

But is there a Festivus for the rest of us? Little by little, conservatives, or at least supporters of President Bush, are making themselves known, sometimes against their own better judgment.


Here's a list, with quotes:


1. Shlomo Goldberg. Who is Shlomo Goldberg? Try actor Steve Bond, who played "Jimmy Lee Holt" on General Hospital. He called into the Larry Elder show on Monday to come out as a conservative, who, to top it off, was born in Israel. Steve spoke eloquently about the liberals' foolish faith in the U.N. inspectors. Someone give this guy a good role!


2. James Woods: "I like the Rumsfeld approach to things, you know. If they're not right, shoot ‘em. I’m not about appeasing any of these crappy little Arab states that want to hold us hostage with oil, you know, and decide they’re going to use terrorism or state support it." (from the Conway & Steckler show)


3. James Earl Jones: Said he doesn't oppose U.S. military action in Iraq, provided the country gets involved as soon as necessary and stays to finish the job. (from Fox News)


Kelsey Grammer: ``The thing I most respond to in the political arena is people that actually don't play politics, and I think President Bush comes from a place that is sincere.'' (from AP via NYT)

Heather Locklear: "He's a scumbag," said the vixen of "Spin City" and formerly of "Melrose Place." But Locklear was quick to clarify: She was talking about President Josiah Bartlet, played by Martin Sheen. (from the Weekly Standard)

(the following is according the the Philadelphia Enquirer:)

Babylon Five's Tracy Scoggins


Senator-turned-Law-&-Order-star Fred Thompson: "Thank goodness we have a President with the courage to protect our country."

Libertarians: Drew Carey, Lisa Kennedy, Kurt Russell, Penn and Teller, Tommy Chong, Russell Means

John Malkovich: caused an outcry last summer when he told a group of Cambridge students he'd like to shoot a certain anti-Israel, anti-American member of Parliament.


Conservative Everybody Loves Raymond star Patricia Heaton is honorary chairperson of Feminists for Life.

Emma Caulfield, who plays Anya on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "Identifies herself as a Republican, and has said she would take a break from acting to actively campaign for Elizabeth Dole, in the event that Ms. Dole runs for president again in a future election." (from Internet Movie Database)


Ron Silver: "I kind of like Rumsfeld's 'old Europe versus the new Europe,' and we saw it in the last two weeks, with France and Germany, who were not with us on June 6, 1944, I don't know why we expect them to be with us today."


R. Lee Ermey, a former Marine who played the scary drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket: "Once again, Barbra Streisand has opened her alligator-sized mouth wide before her hummingbird brain has had a chance to catch up. Ms. Streisand does not speak for me or many other folks in this business."

Bruce Willis, White House spokesman for children in foster care: Willis purchased 12,000 boxes of girl Scout cookies from his 8-year-old daughter Tallulah Belle to support military personnel serving in the Middle East. His cookies were given to Marines and Sailors onboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp, the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy, and Army and Air Force personnel in Afghanistan.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: may run as a Republican for governor of California.

Dennis Miller on Hardball: Matthews: “Did you vote for him?” Miller: “Yes I did.” Matthews: “First time you voted Republican? I feel like I’m Brian Lamb here.” Miller: “Well, you know, a gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell. I’ll tell you about Bush, but I, you know I-” Matthews: “Are you a lifelong Republican or a lifelong Democrat?” Miller: “I was a lifelong Democrat for a long time.” Matthews: “Did you switch for Bush?” Miller: “Well I switched for other reasons. I began to find the dialogue on the left side of it to be getting a little strident."

Norm McDonald: where is he?

Charlton Heston on Today Show: Lauer demanded: "Have you ever gotten up one morning, read the newspaper or seen the news about a particularly horrific crime or event that involved a shooting and thought even for a second, I may be on the wrong side of this issue?"
Heston: "No I never felt that."

Rock River Firearms

These were found at the last show, and they appeared to be decent weapons.

[.38sw]

Thanks for posting that list, JL. Of course, we don't see these folks making the rounds of the talk shows, nor do we see them quoted in our local rag. I knew there were some of those right-thinking celebs out there, but we just don't see or hear much from them. Where's the right wing media?!!

[.38sw]

Well, we don't see those arms at our guns shows. They have that evil pistol grip. Can't get a pistol grip in conjuntion with a detachable magazine. Makes it way too evil. I have seen the Rock River .45 autos, however. Our gunsmith tells us that it is a decent firearm for the money. I don't plan to buy one, though. I suspect it would be a step or two down from my Kimber CDP. :)

No, the RR is not in Kimber's league, but it's a good bang for the buck.

I've seen ads that tout CA legal, so now I now what that means - thanks for the information.

Molon labe.

New Les Baer Super Varmit $750

[Servant of the Nine]

I've noticed the Baer AR-15 advertisements in my National Rifleman mag. and was wondering what they might be costing?

Retail runs from $1100.00 to $1500.00 depending on bells and whistles. If you get one to play with the coyotes, order it with the optional 1 in 7 or 1 in 8 twist barrel. That will stabilize the heavier 60gr and 70gr bullets that you will want to use. The standard 1 in 12 twist barrel is maxed out at 55gr.

CA legal differs from long guns to handguns. Handguns have to be on an "approved" list, meaning the manufacturer submits a sample for a "drop test" and test firing. If it passes these tests, it means that it is "safe" for sale in CA, and gets on a list. However, there is an expiration date for the certification, and the manufacturer needs to submit a new sample for recertification. This means that a gun can be perfectally functional, but just that the certification expired, and the manufacturer didn't care to assume the cost of retesting and recertification. It is the same gun, but all of a sudden, it's "unsafe for sale in California", and you can't buy one. Just great, huh? As to rifles, it is a comination of factors that qualify one as an "assault rifle". Example: The AR's are pretty much unavailable here, because they have a pistol grip AND a detachable magazine. Also goes for a flash suppressor. Can' have one of those in comination with the other evil features. You CAN get an AR clone with a FAB 10 receiver, and it is considered legal, in most jurisdictions. The FAB 10 doesn't have a detachable magazine; you have to break it open to reload. Really lousy design. The legal part is a little dicey: Apparently some local DA's will interpret the design as illegal. I don't know all the details of the assault weapon law, but I have heard many say that it has a lot of ambiguities about it, and is open to interpetation, depending on how rabidly anti-gun the local jurisdiction is.
