Even the KING , Elvis was not a liberal.

I doubt he would be the poster child for the right, either.

I want to see this one, but “Courageous” was THE ONE for the year, you should have seen it.

It is the Hollywood Liberals that gave us Obama.


No more evident than today, when Obama is clogging up our traffic for the umpteenth time, second time this month, out here to grab MORE Hollywood money from the only group that unabashedly and stupidly still believes in him enough to toss money his way.

Hollywood had some balance for a time, up until the 1950s. Studio heads tended to identify with one party or another (Jack Warner and Warner Bros. was Democrat, Louis B. Mayer and MGM Republican). Mayer died in the ‘50s and with the so-called “McCarthy Era”, the left became more and more entrenched and reactionary and practiced the methods they falsely accused McCarthy and other Conservatives of, that being blacklisting or just simply not employing Conservatives (only some established stars could get away with holding a non-leftist herd mentality, but often they’d have to claim that they were “social libs”).

I’d call the anti-Conservative standard operating procedure not a conspiracy but a consensus in Hollywood. Who knows how many talented, lesser-known individuals have been discriminated against in the entertainment industry if they are exposed not be a member of the leftist hive. Same goes for the education industry, too.

Politically, I also loathe Martin Sheen. But I admire him as an actor and have usually enjoyed most anything he is in.

He's not so full of himself, like other actors, that he's beyond taking small parts in movies not seen like the big blockbusters.

His portrayal of Greg Stinson in “The Dead Zone” (with Christopher “I need more cowbell” Walken) was excellent.

Gard Oldham, Gary Sinese, Bruce Willis, Jeanine Turner, Denzel Washington, Dennis Miller, and a few others are also fine actors, as well as being conservative. I try to patronize their movies and Programs as much as I can. I love Dennis Miller’s radio program, and Gary Sinese is phenomenal! So it is still possible to enjoy movies without being subjected to liberal propaganda, or supporting it with our money.

I read that Jack Warner was a Republican.

Jack Warner may have claimed to be a Republican, but he and Warner Bros. were “the” Democrat studio. They pimped for FDR and even after JW’s supposed support for Nixon in ‘60, went right to pimping for JFK. You can call yourself any political affiliation you wish, but when you pimp for one party and one agenda, that’s what you are.
