The progenny of celebrities and many times the celebrities themselves are out of control.

Look at Michael Douglas’s sons.

Look at Lindsay Lohan.

Look at Mel Gibson.

Look at Nick Nolte.

And they are only the tip of the iceberg.

Celebrities and their progency are mostly liberals and as such have this gross sense of entitlement, a feeling that they can do and say anything without any consequences, a feeling just like politicians that they are above the law and that they are so elitist that the laws do not apply to them.

If you really think that addictions (and the subsequent death from those addictions) only happen in liberal families, you are sadly mistaken.

Addictions tear apart the best of families, even God loving Christian conservatives.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Koppel family, which probably spent years and years living through the agony of having an addict in their mist.

Celebrities are no different than the general population-addictions, self centeredness, family problems—the only difference is we hear about in the news.
That is the only difference.

Including Fred Thompson’s daughter who drank herself to death and died as a homeless bum?

And Jeb Bush’s daughter who has been in and out of drug rehab for years?

I don’t think you can convincingly tie political ideology to the problem of families having addicted and self destructive family members. It runs the spectrum. GWBush 43 himself was lucky to pull out of an alcohol addiction.
