Keep the faith!
 Dennis Miller |
“Of course we have to profile people. We live in some weird time now where we’re all trying to convince each other that we shouldn’t profile people. When 19 out of 20 people are from a certain country, and they blow up the two biggest buildings in your country, if you don’t start looking at people who are visiting here from that country, you’re not being open-minded. You’re being dead. Okay?” “We have got to get it together and understand that this country, people say it’s not the American way to infringe on civil liberties. Well it’s not the American way to rollover for punks either. We’re got to start kicking ass on these people because they don’t care about us. They live for one reason and one reason alone and that is to kill you and I. There’s no half way in the al Qaeda. There’s no al-Kindas, okay. These people just care about our demise.” “And you know something, the American Civil Liberties Union, when they come out and say you never profile anybody who gets on an airplane. I say we create a new airline, called the ACLA, the American Civil Liberties Airline where you don’t check anybody, you don’t ask any questions, and let those morons fly on that one, okay? The rest of us want to be protected.” “Guantanamo Bay, are these people being treated fairly? Let’s be serious folks. Guantanamo Bay is about as far as our Western sensibilities will allow us to descend as far as putting a prison together. No, you know, it’s no joy ride, but, you know, that being said, if you put the Guantanamo Bay terrorist prison outside of Kabul it would be their Epcot.” "I don't think he's a great man but how many great men come along in life? Great men are defined by the circumstances they're presented and I think he's doing a nice job. So you know the difference between Clinton and Bush to me is that Bush somehow has managed to turn off the 'wocka-wocka' ‘70s porno guitar of the Clinton administration. You know? Clinton looked presidential but he acted like a kid. Bush looks like a kid but so far he acts presidential and I like that about him. And I like the fact that he's hired- [interrupted again by applause] "-says he's gonna spend $13 billion on education, God knows we need it. If you think about it only one of the three 'r's actually starts with 'r.' On Sean Penn: “I think that once it’s about to hit the fan, if you wanted to decry your leadership, you’re more than welcomed to do so in the local town square. I would stay out of the country that you’re about to business with.” On France: “You’d better gas up the dinghy and go fishing with Fredo, because you are dead to me.” — Dennis Miller, on the Tonight Show. Miller was on fire tonight. He said: “If you’re at a peace march, and the guy next to you has a sign saying ‘Bush is Hitler,’ stop the peace stuff for a second and beat his ass.” And he sent this message to Dubya: “If you’re watching, I think you’re doing a hell of a job. I’m proud you’re my president. …I think there are a lot more people out here on your side than you may think.” "I would call the French scum bags, but that would be a disservice to bags filled with scum." “Clinton’s the sort of guy who’ll always volunteer to help you move, then when you’ve got four of ya picking up the sofa, he’s the one who’ll fake lifting.” |

“Simple logic tells you that if somebody wants you dead you have one course of action: To get them deader sooner.” He approvingly proposed that “if this had happened to the Russians, about three major cities in the Middle East would have been parking lots in twenty minutes." "Now, of course, I think the President is doing an extraordinary job. It’s a good thing I’m not President because I would have just [motioned hand to press a button launching missiles] launched. Okay, I’m sorry, I just would have. But our President and I just, I love George Bush right now and I always have. I’m the only guy in LA who voted for him [audience applauded]. And I have to tell you the way he’s handling it is very deliberate, very careful and so on and doing the right thing." "If they harbor terrorists, we should wipe them off the face of the Earth. Eventually, one of these terrorist diaper-heads is going to come around and do something more horrible." William Morris Agency

 Bruce Willis |
The Die Hard star believes A-list stars such as Sean Penn, George Clooney and Martin Sheen, who plays a US president in political drama The West Wing, are reluctant to speak out in favour of military action. Bruce Willis, star of the Die Hard trilogy among other top box office features, phoned the White House to offer his services in the War Against Terror and Saddam Hussein. Sadly he was told that the cut-off for enlisting for active duty is 34 years of age. William Morris Agency

 3 Doors Down |
"Not all rockers are anti-war morons. 3 Doors Down did a tour of the carriers and bases in the Gulf last October. They filmed on the tour with lots of shots of the troops aircraft and ships...their video of "when I'm Gone" is very cool. Click here to play the video (note:streaming video requires a media player) Visit the 3DD website for their photo gallery of the tour and send a message to the troops.

 Kid Rock |
At a pre-Grammy party, Kid Rock answered a reporter's question about the War in Iraq, and made it clear that he isn't part of the music industry's anti-war faction. "Why is everybody trying to stop the war? George Bush ain't been saying, 'You all, make sh*#%y records.' Politicians and music don't mix. It's like whiskey and wine. We ought to stay out of it."

 Fred Thompson |
"Thank goodness we have a president with the courage to protect our country," Thompson says in a 30-second TV commercial he filmed supporting President Bush's Iraqi policy. He said the ad may begin airing Monday in Washington, D.C., and New York. Thompson, who retired from the Senate in 2002 and returned to his previous career as an actor, plays a district attorney on NBC's drama "Law & Order." Friends and supporters paid for the commercial, Thompson said. The former member of the Senate Intelligence Committee said he's been increasingly concerned about threats to national security. "I think the president is pursuing the right policy. ... It's something I feel rather strongly about and it seems like so much publicity, so many ads, are being taken out attacking the president, attacking the policy," he said.

What's this about Sean Astin?
Sean Astin – California
Sean Patrick Astin has shown a promising talent in acting since a young boy, making his first feature film debut at the age of 13 as "Mikey Walsh" in Richard Donner's adventure The Goonies. Astin is also remembered for his portrayal of a young man determined to play football for Notre Dame in Rudy (1993) which won hearts across Amerca, and continues t o inspire young people whenever it is shown. He is currently starring in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, playing the role of Samwise Gamgee. Astin graduated with honors from UCLA with degrees in History and American Literature and Culture. He has served as a Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army since 1995. He currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife Christine Louise and daughters Alexandra Louise and Elizabeth Louise.
Additionally, this statement, written about his role in Memphis Belle, appear on his official website:
Sean Astin on Memphis Belle
I'll never forget being with David Puttnam and Mathew Modine in Japan on January 15, 1991 promoting Memphis Belle. I had asked David to bring me with him when it came time to publicize the film in Asia. I was sitting on a dais preparing to field questions about making an "American War Movie", when I glanced at my watch and saw that it was 12:00 back home...the UN Deadline had just expired and coalition airplanes were about to begin a massive bombing campaign in the air above Kuwait and Iraq. I remember feeling later that day that my country was at war and I needed to get home. The irony was not lost on me. I think the real value of our film is that it attempts to show, in a realistic way, human faces during a critical moment in the evolution of American Air Supremacy.
The report Alkhin is talking about was from an appearance of his I went to Saturday, reported in The Hobbit Hole post 23916...
Excerpts from that report!
Sean Astin... Let me say this.... Sean Astin is a really nice person. Didn't get to meet him personally, he didn't make a real opportunity, and there were so many 14-17 year old girls there, I wouldn't have stood a chance. But he talked to this audience as if it were a chat, not an ounce of pretension, and a lot of embarrassed discomfort when little girls made gushing swooning comments... No pictures were allowed. Y'all will have to just imagine it!When asked about the 'importance' of acting, he recalled a time he was talking with Kathleen Turner about the importance of acting, and she had said, "We aren't making wheat." [pause].
Politics... He talked a lot about liking politics, but was subtle about expressing any real views. He said that he and his size double "BK"(?), in addition to playing lots of chess, talked politics all the time. BK called him "Mr. President". HA! Perhaps he was hinting at aspirations. He said that he wished he had spent more time with John Rys Davies at the time, but that JRD had been so reclusive... He said JRD loved politics too, and was "just to the right of Atilla the Hun". HA!
Said he liked the concept of Treebeard, he said he liked the idea of the environment itself rising up to defend itself. "not out of radical environmentalism, but out of self-defense, trees that had been here long before us, and would remain long after us, the environment itself being strong." Something like that.
When asked about his comments at the oscars (reminder here http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/2/1048505775 ) He said that it was hard to go to those things, when the world is in such hard time, and the stars are trying to do something important by deciding which 'pin' to wear. That he had debated with himself which pin to wear. He said he had an Army pin he almost wore, but in the end had decided it would cause too much comment to come out that far, and wore his US Flag pin instead. He said, "I am proud of my country, and so many people want their voices to be heard right now, a lot was said that night [frown] and even on the way here I saw anti-war protestors" [shook head] "I want my voice to be heard too... which brings me to why I am here. (I think he was not sure what to expect in this audience and he stammered around a bit, so I am paraphrasing of course) On 9-11-2002, I was on a plane headed for the memorial service at the Pentagon, and I decided I wanted to do something good. And at the event a White House staffer approached me and asked me to serve on this White House volunteerism council to encourage civic participation... A grey haired man in the audience yelled out "You are doing something good Sean!" And he got much *standing* applause.
Additional comment: I don't want to imply he is a conservative, because indeed, the last time he was asked, he said he is a democrat (though the views I have heard are not unpleasant to the ears). He is, I think, conscously trying to avoid a "political actor" image on either side, which I respect. But he is distinctly pro-America, which he deserves to be recognized for.

Funny thing, I heard Dr. Laura reading a newspaper article about some of the people who were released from Gitmo and sent back after being held about a year. When they arrived they were held for a week in Kabul jail and released. They all complained about their treatment in Kabul, but praised their stay in Gitmo. They said they got three meals with meat a day, it was the best they ever ate in their lives. They were given Korans and reading material in Pashtun, allowed to excercise, and to pray and see a Muslim cleric. In Afghanistan they had been hungry and cold all the time, and they loved the climate in Cuba. When they were released they were given new clothes, and about a hundred dollars (a lot of money for an Afghan) and an apology for the mistake. Basically it was like a tropical resort to them. They said the week in the Kabul jail was worse that a year in Gitmo.
