OLD GLORY BURNED BY ECUADORAN CROWD DURING CLINTON VISIT
El Universo (Guayaquil, Ecuador) 6/8/10
Crowd burns U.S. flags in Ecuador
While U.S. Sec. of State H. Clinton met with Ecuador’s president at that country’s Presidential Palace, a crowd gathered in front, burned two U.S. flags and shouted “Out with the killers of immigrants!,” “Gringos out from Latin America!,” and “Out with the killers of Palestinians!.”
(The relating link below also shows two photographs. One shows the actual burning of the U.S. flag, while a sign nearby shows the likeness of “Che” Guevara, Fidel Castro’s revolutionary ally. The other photo shows a pair of hands holding a flier that reads “USA is crime and terrorism.”
The flier was produced by the MPD (Popular Democratic Movement.) The photos can be enlarged by clicking on the words “Ampliar Imagen” on the right side of the photo.)

Angie is one of the very few Hollywood types that actually walks the walk in regards to her beliefs. I give her a lot of credit for it.

Angelina Jolie has been putting her money where her mouth is. She is a true liberal; not a left wing rabid communist. She sees where she can help and then does it.
Kevin Costner is another example.
I may disagree with their politics but at least they are making the attempt to improve things by getting personally involved with their own time and money.
I would have to agree with that. She could be spending all her time on the par-tay circuit, but she chooses to help with hands-on. Politics aside, she should be admired for what she does in this regard.
