Yes Virginia, there is an American loving movie star!

Jon Voight who I personally think happens to be a great actor showed today that he is a great American as well. Like Andy Garcia he knows the left in this country are dangerous and at great expense to their livelihoods they have come out strong against them. Those in Hollywood who do not follow the leftist in their midst unfortunately lose work but they never lose the love for their country and for that I appluad them.

Jon wrote a great piece today in the Washington Times and it covers quite eloquently the marxist/socialist/leftist anti-American hating followers of the biggest one of all Obama...

"The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Did they stop the war, or did they bring the war to those innocent people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.

Those same leaders who were in the streets in the '60s are very powerful today in their work to bring down the Iraq war and to attack our president, and they have found their way into our schools. William Ayers is a good example of that. "

That is the part that stood out to this American loving patriot but I include the entire article for you to see what is striking about the Left in this country and hasn't changed one wit since the 1930's. It does not matter that you call them progressives or communists they are the same as they have always been.

Lets make sure that John McCain becomes the next President so that we do not sit around listening to these twits for the next 4 years.

I don't like it when celebrities spout off - Streisand, Springsteen, etc. I can not go to a movie featuring a liberal loudmouth or buy their music.

It is great to read a piece like this, but I don't want to be a hypocrite. I would go see Voight , Kelsey Grammar or Chuck Norris. I admire their courage speaking out. I will not, however, use them to promote my views. That would legitimize the Kanye West's of the world.

If your worry is really that celebrities not be "legitimized" by the media, I'm afraid that cat's already out of the bag, and everyone knows it. Robert Redford gives guest lectures at Oxford and is involved in political pressure groups around the world. Barbra Streisand is interviewed in today's Politico, and John Cusack was hosted by the Washington Post back in June to publish his rantings and ravings.

I think it's nice to see Jon Voight speak out, frankly. Most of the time it's 50:1 in the other direction, and I bet the liberals and leftists in Hollywood don't feel cowed or threatened very much by Jon Voight's little column in the Washington Times. There are probably only eight or ten people in Los Angeles who have ever read the Washington Times.

Besides, celebrities don't listen to anyone except themselves when it comes to saying whatever they want, whenever they want, to anyone they want -- "legitimate" or not. The rules of etiquette didn't stop the Democrat Party from getting Steven Spielberg to stage manage John Kerry's "return to duty" speech at the 2004 DNC, and Michael Moore had a seat next to Jimmy Carter. And of course, Bruce Springsteen and David Hasselhoff helped end the Cold War (and Rocked the Vote!)

If you think you can convince the entertainment industry to put celebrities on a leash when it comes to politics, I'll be behind that agreement 110%. In the meantime, leave Jon Voight alone.

[BTW: Robert Redford is also a direct descendant of the Delano family, as in Franklin Delano Roosevelt, so even though he claims he doesn't watch his own movies very often, politics and celebrity have always been in his blood, as it were. Good luck getting him to quit, and until he does, the Jon Voights of the world need to be heard as well.]

I've seen Jon as a guest on The Glenn Beck Show, and I like him a lot. In addition to an American loving movie star, there is also an American loving screenwriter who just recently came out of the shadows. His name is David Mamet
If you you haven't read that article already I think you will enjoy it.

Well done.

A couple years back, they stopped talking (pre-brad). I'm not sure what their status is now but Angelina is the Ultimate Liberal.

Imagine those Holiday Dinners for the past 7 years. Come to think of it, I'm gonna have to look up how Brad views things.

More later.

"40 million American households that read TMR are generally happier
than those people in households that don't read TMR."

Angelina now says that family life has broadened her & that she is actually considering McCain as someone she could vote for. Ditto Ironman star Robert Downey Jr., whose time in the state penal system opened his eyes & he is now convinced that humans are not infinitely perfectible. Seriously.

Mamet is an intellectual & anyone with a brain who stays away from drugs will eventually man up & go straight, as Downey also did. Reportedly, some other not-so-brave souls have also converted, but fear professional retaliation by thugs like Alec Baldwin, who called his own daughter a "little pig." Alec has mentioned that he is considering a political future---the psychotics on the Hollyweird left are deeply delusional, to say the very least. Steve Colbert might be a closet Repub, & Steve Carell another, but they dare not push it too far.

Jon, & those mentioned above, as well as Andy Garcia & FNU Silver are like the Marines, few & proud.

weaselly liberal you think he is.....he is one of the 98 percent of liberal loving celebrities.....but his show is funny right up until his interview.

I can never forgive Jon Voight for taking a role in Deliverance. In related news I saw Mystic River right after seeing Deliverance, which made me watch my back for a while [no pun intended].

Repent Brutus and forgive 70 x 7 or rounded to 149

But 70 x 7= 490.

No fuzzy math, please!
