Hollywood Bravery

Mean and Stupid

Liberals are mean-spirited people without brains (except for the ones that read and comment on this blog!). They spew their anti-Republican, anti-conservative, anti-American rhetoric, slandering some of the best people on earth based on their own miserable inadequacies, without proof, without logic.

The Bravest Man in the World

Sean Penn, the king of the Hollywood Nitwits, just got an award for sputtering his inanities.






He won the 2006 Christopher Reeve First Amendment Award.





This is a slap in the face to America, and shows once again that Hollywood is the first to give itself another award, and the last to embrace rationality and responsible citizenship. America ought to boycott all of Hollywood until they grow up and act like the caring people they pretend to be.

Again, for all you liberals who are a few brain cells short, I am not stifling free speech. I don't want you locked up for spouting your nonsense. Free speech, though, does not imply, my challenged friends, that there will be no reaction to what you say. I am free too, get it?, to respond to your free speech. I am "permitted" to call you the names that you call George Bush, Condoleeza Rice, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

I've read the full text of Sean Penn's acceptance speech for the award, and am willing to admit that the guy finally put together sentences that are actually readable. I think it's so Hollywood of him, though, to behave as if he is some great hero, speaking truth to power, by spouting his liberal drivel to an adoring Hollywood crowd. What courage it must take to say such revolutionary things to his choir of Bush-haters. Yes, this man has cajones! He is willing to risk his career by criticizing conservatives. What a man!

The truth is, anyone who goes against the grain in Hollywood, and speaks the truth; who defends conservative values—this would be heroism. You are not a hero by preaching to the KKK how bad blacks are. You are not courageous by standing up for women's rights at a NOW convention. And you are not brave by bashing Bush at an event populated by mindless liberals.

This will be a two-part post, one today, and one tomorrow. Since Mr. Penn has finally put together some coherent sentences on his beliefs, I feel he deserves a point-by-point response. Here are my reactions.

Mr. Penn states that the real areas of concern for the world ought to be:

Sean Penn's Mantras

Global warming

The truth is, Mr. Penn, that there is still disagreement among reputable scientists whether global warming is man-made or a result of natural periodic processes. The other thing that mindless environmentalists miss is that Ice Ages happen too. If we are on the verge of an Ice Age, then we'll need all the global warming we can get—as an Ice Age is much more devastating to humanity than any warming period.

Massive pollution

The United States is, relatively speaking, one of the cleaner nations on the face of the earth now. China is the biggest polluter at this time—with one particular factory spewing more greenhouse gasses in a year than all the automobiles in the United States together.

Non-stop U.S. war in Iraq

If you, Mr. Penn, had supported the war against the monster Saddam Hussein, and added to the dialogue about how to fight the war effectively, then perhaps we'd have a different outcome now.

Attacks on civil liberties under the banner of war on terror

I don't see your civil liberties being violated, Mr. Penn. Nobody is locking you up, as they would do in one of your favorite dictatorships, Cuba, for saying exactly how you feel.

Military spending

We're not spending enough on the military, Mr. Penn. This is why our fighting forces are stretched so thin and we're having trouble maintaining enough troops to win the war in Iraq.

You and I, U.S. taxpayers, spend 1 1/2 billion dollars on an Iraq-war-'focused' military everyday, while social needs cry out.

We are in a War on Terror, Mr. Penn. I know you don't care about the 3,000 people that died on 9/11, but it will happen again if we follow your policies. We spend plenty on social needs, Mr. Penn. If we didn't have so many illegals in this country, then we'd have no shortage of medical care, welfare, and housing.

Health care

Yes, I know you want to make us into Britain, where you have to wait 6 months to get treated properly for a broken arm, and where taxes rise so high that the government takes most of what you earn.

Education

You want all our children to continue to be educated in our failing public schools instead of having the freedom to choose where to go. You'd like the schools to continue brainwashing our children so they grow up to be mindless liberals like you.

Public transit

Surprise! Here we agree. We need subways like in Europe. Good idea, even and especially for Los Angeles. How do you get stuff like this done? Privatize, Mr. Penn. Just like the first subways in New York City.

Environmental protections

Fine, but don't go sparing your home and land from windmills while you impose them on the rest of the country. Don't lecture us for driving our relatively gas-saving Hummers when you gallivant the globe in your fuel-guzzling private jets.

Affordable housing

Yeah, that's a great idea. More projects and rent control that drive down the supply of housing and raise rents for everyone.

Job training

Yes, I agree. On the other hand, I see so many job training programs around I wonder how many more we need.

Public investment

Fine, again. Except, I know where you're going to get the money for this—exorbitant taxes. Why don't you just give 95% of your earnings to public investment, and put your money where your mouth is.

And, levy building

Yes, I agree. Government really sucks at stuff like this, doesn't it, Mr. Penn? Privatize things like this and you'll get your levies built, and built properly.

Sean Penn's Brilliance, Part One

You've just read the usual Hollywood/liberal mantras, and my response to them. I don't go into depth, because liberals wouldn't understand the arguments anyway. I just, as usual, want a voice out here that speaks the truth, opposing the leftist Hollywood propaganda machine.

Tomorrow, part two of my responses to Mr. Penn's perspicacity.
