James Woods was absolutely brilliant.

Two weeks before 9/11 James Woods was on the same Boston to LA flight that was hijacked and was in first class and observed 4 middle eastern types acting strangely enough to alert the FBI when he landed, who blew him off.

I wish we could just ask Hollywood to pack their collective bags and hit the road to another country. The US would do just fine without them, probably better.

I would even volunteer to go and help them pack!

"WE" are just like the Nazi's who .... ?????

"WE"

Who the heck are you talking about?

Maybe the democrats are just like the Nazi's - willing to accept anything as long as (inter)national socialism is promoted (nationalism is definitely off limts!) ... as the democrats accept with feelings of righteous self-satisfaction all the crimes and corruption of the Clintons just so they can continue aborting American taxpayers, but the rest of the country IS fighting the democrats.

Hollywood Actress Declares Herself 'Right Wing Christian Bigot'--(Jane Russell)

CNSNews.com ^ | February 03, 2003 | Marc Morano

Veteran Hollywood Actress Jane Russell declared herself a "mean-spirited, narrow-minded, right-wing Christian bigot" to a crowd of conservative activists on Saturday.

The retired actress was making the point that she is tired of Christian conservatives being labeled intolerant when they stand up for their beliefs. Russell's comments received enthusiastic applause at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Arlington, Va. The 81-year-old Russell, who spoke on a panel called "Hollywood Needs Adult Supervision," explained that her son chides her for using the term 'bigot,' but she insists on doing so.

"My son said, 'Mother you can't say the word bigot because that has to do with nationalities and things.' I said, 'No darling, it's a verb. It means I can't stand these people who are trying to take the Ten Commandments off the wall, take prayer out of school and... take prayer out of football games.' It's too ridiculous," Russell said. "The Lord put this country together or we wouldn't be like we are," she added.

Russell, a former pin-up girl from the 1940s and 1950s who starred in such films as "Outlaw" and 1953's "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" with Marilyn Monroe, now serves as an advocate for children. Russell noted how Hollywood's political affiliations have changed since her heyday.

"I have always been a Republican, and when I was in Hollywood long ago, most of the people there were Republican. The studio heads were all Republican, my boss, [billionaire producer] Howard Hughes, was a raving Republican, and we had a motion picture code in those days so they couldn't do all this naughty stuff," Russell said. "We had John Wayne, we had Charlton Heston, we had man named Ronald Reagan, we had [Robert] Mitchum, Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable," she added.

In an interview with CNSNews.com Russell explained why she believes present-day Hollywood has become so liberal.

"I think the 60's have happened between when I was there and now. A lot of the actors and actresses, their parents were 60's people and they just have a Democratic left wing - [they] flipped," Russell said.

Asked what she thinks of present-day Hollywood liberals such as George Clooney, Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn, Russell quipped, "I think they're not well."

Is he the same guy who was on "Thirtysomething" a few years back? Played a minor role as owner of an ad agency or something. I always thought he was a little off-center.

"I'm saying that the moral climate within the ruling class in this country is not that different from the moral climate within the ruling class of Hitler's Germany," Clennon told nationally syndicated radio host Sean Hannity.

Just what ruling class is he talking about; socialist limousine liberals, who get ungodly amounts of money to get in front of a camera andplay pretend and get up in front of the nation and try to set policy according to their insulated view of the world?

The last place I'll go for a lecture on the moral climate of the nation is Hollywood.

[doug from upland]

I remember well his episode.

This may be a problem that resolves itself. I find less and less that I care to watch on TV, in fact aside from a couple of talking head shows, I watch very little TV. I get my news from the internet, mostly.

I frankly have little time for network tv. By the time I scan my usual news sources, pen a few comments here, and run my usual errands, its lights out.

I still love to go to the movies, but that has become problematic, as more and more actors shoot off their mouths, and there are now several who I simply can't watch; its not that I am boycotting their work, I simply can't sit and watch them. The nineties were tough years, so many of these creeps kissing up to the Clintons, and now, post 9/11, a whole new crop seems to be lining up to join my "can't bear to look at" list.

Several musicians I formerly admired made it a point to play Pavlovian dog to Clinton's bell, and again it is with some sadness that I reflexively hit reject when they come up in the rotation, I just can't bear to listen to them anymore. Their lyrics once meant something to me, but they stand revealed as empty cups, and it frankly has ruined the music for me. And now, again, every other day another one shoots off his mouth. My musical taste tends toward the strange, anyway, but has become more so as my listening is more and more confined to those too obscure to have ever been quoted in the press about anything at all.

I met Clennon right after the show began airing and found out we had something in common so we chatted for a while...should have known that something was fishy right then and there.

Turns out that he and I are graduates of Notre Dame (he attended a decade or so before my time but close enough). Frankly it's irrelevant whether you like ND or not (very few football fans are neutral), but he mentioned that he never really cared for football and didn't attend the games. I was quite astonished, because when I was at ND (in fact up until about 1980), every student received season tickets to the football games, and frankly if you didn't go, there was a 99.9% chance that you would get tossed into one of the two lakes. The dorms were almost padlocked because the campus became a ghosttown for 4 hours and you basically needed dispensation from the Almighty to miss a game.

Should have known right then that something was off base.

Ain't that the truth. But that's the whole shtick of the moral-liberals: They are there to sit and pass judgments upon everyone else.

[EnquiringMind]

"David who?"

Ha! that's what I wanna know.

[EnquiringMind]

Oh, him. I never liked him - he over-acts.

[Paul Atreides]

It says a lot that he was in thirtysomething.

[Vinomori]

"Now I say, let the inspection process take its course."

Yes, but aren't you an actor? Truman Capote said that actors were the dumbest living human beings, so we might ask why all of them are all of a sudden getting quoted on things. ESPECIALLY on the IQ of our President.

[SwinneySwitch]

Yeah, he looks like a liberal! Thanks!

[Elenya]

I don't know the guy, but methinks his career is over. He's TOAST, he he...

[smith288]

and another for you Hollyweird fans ;)

[GraniteStateConservative]

Wouldn't that irradiate the area, too?

[Red Jones]

Maybe the democrats are just like the Nazi's

Yes Robert, but you know as well as I do that in January of 1999 when the Republican leader of the Senate refused to allow any evidence against clinton to be presented in the Senate that the republicans in essence did accept the clinton corruption. You and I didn't accept it, but our party did. and Bush accepts it too. I feel sorry for the germans who had nazi-ism foisted upon them and I believe that we are not so different from them only in that we are human like them.
