Ovr the years I've noticed a correlation with the worsening of public culture (art, music, literature, movies, etc) and the rise of left-liberalism. A false analogy? Maybe. But that's what I believe.

I've often wondered about Sam Elliot. He plays in a lot of westerns with Selleck.

I thought libertarians were the enemy, even worse than unitarians.... ;)

I don't know his actual political feelings, but I think Samuel L. Jackson deserves special points for the following from his June 1999 Playboy magazine interview:

   PLAYBOY:  Are you politically active?

   JACKSON:  I go to premieres, and folks start asking me,
   "How do you feel about the president?"  I think, What
   the f**k do people care what I think about the president?
   I'm an actor.  All those actors out there stumping for
   this candidate or that candidate, it's bulls**t.  They
   don't do anything past that.  They raise some money
   and they're out of there.  Or they just voice their
   opinion:  "That Dalai Lama is my boy."

   PLAYBOY:  So your soapbox message is for celebrities to
   get off their soapboxes?

   JACKSON:  Just pay your taxes.  Stop standing up and
   saying, "We need to lend our money to so-and-so."
   You make $20 million a picture.  Shut the f**k up and
   give them a million dollars.  Don't ask Joe Everyday
   for $5.  He might need that $5.  You've got money to
   burn.  I don't like giving my political opinions.
     [...]
   The more of a grasp I can have of myself as an
   everyday guy who just happens to have an unusual job,
   the better off my life is going to be.  I don't think
   I'm extraordinary.

And then later:

   "...but when people give me this bulls**t thing
   about being a role model [through his choice of
   acting roles] and my effect on society, I say bulls**t
   to you.  If people want to know if I'm a role model,
   they should know that I've been married to the same
   woman for 19 years, I drove my daughter's car pool
   until she started driving, I help her with her
   homework.  I make up beds, I take out the garbage.
   I graduated from college, I can read and write.  I can
   speak correctly.  I treat everyone with respect.
   I pay my taxes.  I've never been to jail.  I think
   that's the stuff of a role model.

I have a theory about the Hollywood left - that the more "people" you have doing stuff for you, the more detached from reality you become and the more intolerant you become of any sort of momentary discomfort. Since the goal of modern liberalism is the complete abolition of any sense of personal discomfort whatsoever, it becomes a natural fit for people who get trapped in hedonism.

Opposite side of the thread, but here's a website dedicated to the Hollywood Half-wits.

Yesterday on Fox they said that Harrison Ford's PR person said that HF was in favor of regime change in Iraq but also wanted regime change with the Bush administration. I just saw my last Ford movie....

[blondee123]

Another talking Hollywierd Head! I never liked him either!

[hellinahandcart]

I caught a Pat Sajak interview of Robert Klein the other night on FOX, and Klein is in favor of taking out Saddam.

From the tone of his questions, I suspect Pat is too.
