Gary Sinise is probably one of my favorite actors, and I’m glad he’s doing this.

Hollywood is nearly uniformly hard Left. The number of conservatives in Tinseltown you can count on the fingers of one hand.

To me, Sinise has always played a great bad guy. I am glad to know he is a real-life good guy.

My brother met him in Iraq on more than one occasion and says that he’s the real deal as far as patriotism and support for the US military are concerned - not just there for photo ops.

So much for the meetings being “underground,” hey, Pat Einstein Boone?

Good! His character on CSI: NY served in the Marines, so I wonder if the writers had that in mind.

Something a bit similar, The Wednesday Morning Club, has been around since 1992.

Gary Sinise, Kelsey Grammer and Jon Voight are great guys. They are a few in Hollyweird that aren’t LIBRALS - Patrica Heaton and Drew Carey are good people, too.

Looks like we need a law prohibiting political discrimination in this country.

It’s amazing the amount of closet conservatives I met when I was in the business. Many of the below the line are conservative and great to talk with. Of course, the grips, transportation, etc. are the ones who can’t afford to live in LA and drive to/from Palmdale or Lancaster.
