NFL, NBA, MLB players and hollyweird stars go first. Show us how it’s done.

Haven’t you noticed that the younger stars who haven’t quite developed a following and made their gazillions aren’t quite a vocal against traditional American values.

My family and I are boycotting hollyweird. Let the obamabots buy tickets to crap movies.

>> Barney Frank should be making license plates

If bawney fwank went to pwison, he’d be too busy “making” his cell mate, a guard or two, the prison librarian, the trusty who mops the floor by his cell, ...

That fella wouldn’t have TIME to make license plates.

Congress will never (legitimately) have the authority to legislate such a thing.

And they have the authority to spread the wealth around - as Obama said he wanted to do even before the "crisis" so conveniently make his fondest socialist wish a "necessity"?

Sure it will. They start with TARP recipients, expand it to all government contractors, including their subcontractors, continue on to any company which uses federal highways and interstates to ship or receive goods, and so forth. Congress is nothing if not ingenious in finding ways to claim federal handouts are going to businesses and hamstring free enterprise, for “the children” of course.

We are also: Hollywood, TARP banks, GM and other bailout businesses. We're on strike as consumers - purchases are thoughtful political decisions, and we're not going to make any careless decisions in that direction for the "duration of the emergency".

kind of, but I would really like to know why they keep voting him in REPEATEDLY. Are they too busy, is it by name recognition, or what?

I want to know when some of this crap will end up at the Supreme Court? It’s the only branch of gov’t not controlled by the Marxists.

I wonder what the composition of BawneyFag’s district is. Probably some uber-liberal gay ghetto.

Will Barney Frank’s meeting with Bill Gates be on CNN? I want to see him convince Gates and others about how the government has the right to control “their “ pay.

Just keep it up, stupid democraps.

Atlas Shrugged says it all.

They will be exempt...only those in “corporations”....”

Lots of Hollywood people have corporations— Look up MALPASO.... Clint Eastwood’s production company.

I get that—
I have boycotted anything made by Tyson Foods since 1992 because that was one of the biggest very early supporters of the Clintoooons. Other chicken tastes just as good.

I have not eaten a single thing ‘Mexican’ since those fools marched in Los Angeles, demanding ‘their rights’.
Probably didn’t spend more than $200 a year eating Mexican—but don’t spend a penny now.
