‘Celebrities, is there anything they don't’ know?’ Homer Simpson

Tom Hanks is NOT the arbiter of what's patriotic and what isn't patriotic. I find celebrities really arrogant. Hanks included.

Proud to say I've never liked this lightweight actor.

Hanks doesn't seem to think all Americans have the right to decide what we as a society decide is marriage.

And please, spare us the "discrimination" crap. It's the new hip cliche of the left and has as little to do with the actual issue as saying abortion is about "choice".

This crap from the “I hate America; don’t you dare question my patriotism!” crowd?

So Mormons are unpatriotic for supporting Prop 8. That’s fine in a vacuum. It’s his opinion and he’s entitled to it.

It’s just strange though, given that, though he travels in Hollywood circles and has done so for several decades, that Mormons supporting Prop 8 is the only thing that has come under his purview that he saw fit to brand ‘unpatriotic.’

"Un-American" Hmmm
I seem to recall that phrase being decried as an epithet used by Joe McCarthy and his ilk.

Iconic Celebrities. How do you argue with such sources of outstanding logic and wisdom?

Answer - By using common sense, having a moral compass and being able to think for yourself instead of thinking with the Liberal Herd of cud chewing bovine.

“The truth is this [his series] takes place in Utah, the truth is these people are some bizarre offshoot of the Mormon Church, and the truth is a lot of Mormons gave a lot of money to the church to make Prop 8 happen. There are a lot of people who feel that is un-American and I am one of them. I do not like to see any discrimination codified on any piece of paper, any of the 50 states in America, but here’s what happens now. A little bit of light can be shed and people can see who’s responsible and that can motivate the next go around of our self correcting constitution and hopefully we can move forward instead of backwards. So let’s have faith in not only the American, but Californian constitutional process.”

...he just likes to see discrimination against minority groups like the Mormons in his movies. :D

Prop 8 no more discriminates against homosexuals than women’s tennis discriminate against Bjorn Borg.

Tom, you missed the memo that you are not a person of significance. YOU are un-American. And an idiot. Ripping on 52% of CA voters who VOTED to enact a lawful change to their state Constitution, after twice before voting overwhelmingly for the same thing onyl to have liberal judges shoot it down.

Sit down you arrogant, ignorant fool.

” So let’s have faith in not only the American, but Californian constitutional process.”

Isn’t that what Prop 8 was about? Letting voters decide in a constitutional way?

Excerpt:

It was two degrees this morning when I left Poca, West Virginia, for work at six. But that was not as cold as I felt after reading this at noon on the Fox News site: “Tom Hanks Says Mormon Supporters of Proposition 8 ‘Un-American’.”

Now I am willing to sacrifice my life, if necessary, to defend his right to spew whatever vile, hateful, ignorant, demented, loathsome, ugly and foolish remarks he may make...
