"I've never seen a single movie he was in and have no intention of spending one nickle to do so. If our guys can make sacrifices in Iraq I think we on the homefront can do the same. None of my money will give aid and comfort to the America haters."
Well, then you are one who probably never goes to any movies, as most of the stars in them are liberals. You can count on one hand the conservative actors in Hollywood, although I'm sure there are closet Pubs, but they keep their traps shut if they want to work. Each to their own, but I like movies as probably do most Freepers, and sometimes you have to hold your nose as to the politics of the stars when going to the movies.
What I won't go to are overtly themed political movies that are blatantly biased in point of view. Such as just about any movie directed by Oliver Stone. Or, of course, any movies (if you want to call them that) by Michael Moore.
Even the old movies so many of us love had liberal/socialist/communist stars such as Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, and a bunch of others. I like good movies, and I just grit my teeth and separate the wheat from the chaff when going to them. Separating the politics of the stars from the acting job they do. You'd have to just about give up all arts if you base your approval of them on the politics of the individuals involved. No musicals, plays, opera, art, literature, as most of these fields are littered with the liberal mindset.
Besides which, we are still a democracy, and as much as we politically dislike the opposition, there wouldn't be a democracy without them. It would be a very boring world if everyone thought exactly alike. Look at the FR website. Supposedly we are all conservatives, but look at all the arguments that ensue here. Even conservatives come in all varieties. So, each to their own, and those that really get on my nerves I will go after or shun, based on my own viewpoint, and of course you will do the same.
I would not rent one of his movies either, although my 12 year old daughter saw one of his movies at a friend's house and said he was creepy...the movie was Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. A kid's movie panned by a kid...that says something for ya.
