Entertainment and Liberalism
I started performing on stage since the age of four. I've pretty much been on a stage most all my life. I started out dancing and found myself wanting to do other stage work. I did several things here and there; I'll just cover the highlights. I got a few small parts on stage in high school. I also played a lead in a small play our drama class had performed.
I have experience working backstage. My first job was spotlight for the musical, "Sweeney Todd" at the Omaha Community Playhouse. I did various things backstage for them until, I landed a role as the nun in, "Tony 'n Tina's Wedding" which was an improv comedy. I absolutely loved performing but, doing so deteriorated a part of me. I decided to go back to school and retire my work as a performer.
In college, I did discover that I have a talent speaking in front of people. Debate in college was completed with an A plus. I also didn't have too hard of a time speaking up in any of my classes, expressing my opinion, even if I was the only one in the classroom that held that point of view. By the time I went back to school, I was older than most the other students and, quite more experienced in life. I was not shy about asserting this.
I think my years on stage were the best and worst times of my life. I met some amazing people but, I had turned quite liberal in those years and, it wasn't till I was able to get away from the stage that I was able to see things in a completely different light. I was really self absorbed. I did whatever I wanted to do and, as long as I was "tolerant" of everyone else, I felt justified in anything I said and did. All you really need to do is qualify all your statements with, "I don't judge anyone..."
Yes, I partied a lot. I suppose you could say I was near a local-type-Lindsey Lohan or, a wanna-be Paris Hilton. (Oh, wow...this is embarrassing!) I can't believe I'm admitting to this but, I feel it necessary in order to make my point. I actually like Britney and Paris. I understand them on a weird and bizarre level. I look back at my life and know that had I had that type of fame, I would probably have acted just like they have, maybe worse. Here I was, at a local level, in Omaha, NE of all places, and I thought I was G-d's gift to the world.
I would get recognized, I knew people, I could go anywhere and skip standing in lines. This went right to my head, not even realizing for a moment how truly pathetic I was. I allowed myself to get caught up in everything. Here's what happens: You live and breathe the theatre. When you entertain, you are performing constantly. We had shows on Tues, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, and two shows on Sunday. Some shows were dark on Mon, Tues, and Wed but, even those days, you were with other cast members, people that did the same things as you. It was rare that I would be around anyone that had a different point of view on life. Or, if I was, I didn't pay any attention. It was all about ME.
All this coupled with being young, which is a selfish period to begin with, became a dark time in my life. Of course, I didn't realize that while I was living it. No, I was right about everything. I will tell you, I had told myself that I was so great and, so amazing that G-d must have blessed with with "special knowledge," that I truly knew what was best for everyone and, if they didn't agree, it was because, they were pathetic and led worthless lives.
Now, of course, you can only imagine how utterly humiliating this is for me to reveal to you but, this is exactly what goes on in the mind of Hollywood elites, only MUCH worse I'm sure. Again, keep in mind, I was NOWHERE near the level of fame and fortune that people in Hollywood have and yet, here I was experiencing delusions of grandeur. Oh, how I thank the Lord I never went much further.
Now this doesn't mean that you cannot be in Hollywood or, be an entertainer and not have a good head on your shoulders. Quite the contrary. There are many people that do just fine working on stage or, on the screen and are not crazy liberal or, even if they are liberal, they don't completely lose control over their lives the way I did. I was just weak, very weak and, I allowed myself to be intoxicated by many things but, mostly the ambiance of it all. The treatment I received from people made me feel as though I was much more important than I truly was.
Now for me, when I see people in Hollywood, they irritate the crap out of me but for some, I just have a soft spot for. I know they are not evil people. Some of the most wonderful people I know to this day, are those I met in the theatre. I've always felt safe around these people. I never felt like they would mistreat me or, allow bad things to happen to me. I come from a background where I've had the displeasure of meeting some pretty shady characters. People in entertainment never made me feel uncomfortable or uneasy to be around. We had great fun and I always felt happy around them.
For me, I guess it's not that these people are evil, it's just they are simply absorbed in entertainment. They block themselves out from thinking about things in different ways because they are famous, everyone kisses their butts, they are never around anything else, they feel important, and much more important than others. If one thinks they are more important, they naturally will feel as though they are superior, and if they are superior, their opinions must also be superior; they feel and know that they know better than others.
Take for instance Tom Cruise. This man seems like a great guy. He's got it together for the most part. He's not been in too many scandalous stories, meaning he's not known for his partying ways, or his rampant drug use. He has a remarkable career and an impressive resume. However, there is NO doubt that this man thinks he's better than everyone. He literally goes on tv and says things like (paraphrasing), "You don't know the history of psychology like I do..." Clearly the way that is stated is, he knows things others do not and, and he truly believes that unless you're an elite like him, you cannot understand. In his mind, he is helping you and enlightening you, and if you don't understand, that's okay, just do what he does and you're life will be better because of him.
This is the first problem with the mindset of a Hollywood actor. They truly, honestly believe, with all their hearts that they have a "secret knowledge" that other "simple minded" people just do not have.
They believe with every fiber of their being that they experience emotions so much more than others. You will see this whenever you are viewing a benefit of some kind on tv. You will hear actors or singers express how much they believe in a cause, and "how important it is for people to come together" and, fill-in-the-blank. It's important because, they "feel" it's important and their feelings are more important because, they are superior to you.
You see, they are more important because, they are blessed with fame. If they weren't special, they wouldn't be famous. Now, of course, they always tell people to work hard if you want to be famous like them but, what they really mean is, only a select few, the lucky, the more important people, really achieve fame and fortune.
I think a lot of people in Hollywood turn to drugs because of the perplexity that is involved in their lives. On one hand, they are loved but, on the other hand, they have absolutely no privacy and some people actually hate them. People do not respect them as a person.
I remember when I did the improv show, the audience was really also a part of the show. You wouldn't believe the amount of people that felt as if it was their right to fondle me or, other cast members. Some were just down right nasty with us. In their eyes, we were entertainment they had rented for the evening and, we were just their puppets to play with. It was frightening in some ways. I had a few altercations in the parking lot with patrons because of how they had treated me or my friends.
I guess this is why we frequently see Hollywood actors go crazy on the paparazzi. The downside of being an entertainer is even though you are loved and adored by some, the folks that hate you or, disrespect you are just mean, really mean. Some very hurtful things are said and not behind your back but, right there to your face. It's hard to deal with that. For me, I was extremely sensitive. I still am. It's hard for me to deal with criticism. I happen to be my biggest critic but, when someone else does it, even if it's respectful, it still stings just a little. As I've gotten older, it's gotten much easier but, when I was younger, it was quite an overwhelming feeling of sadness.
Of course, when I felt sad, everyone needed to stop and pay attention because, remember, I was so important and my feelings were so important. Yes, I was quite good at being a little drama queen.
Being in entertainment is all about accepting other people. Let's face it, lots of gays are attracted to being in the entertainment world. Not just gays but, misfits as well. I think we were all odd or unusual in some sort of way. This bonded us yet, ironically we still felt more enlightened than the rest of the general population.
Fitting in with this crowd was more about "acting out."The more wild I was, the more willing I was to do crazy things, the more accepted I was. Doing things outside the norm was considered almost a virtue.
On the other hand, there were others that were much more responsible and understood that entertaining is a business and, if you were too much of a pain, you were not someone they would take a chance on. They knew it wouldn't be wise to rely on you to do their show.
Bottom line, yes, the entertainment industry is filled with liberals but, if you really want to make money and be a professional, you have to be a capitalist!
The only reason why I bothered writing this is because, a lot of people ask me my opinion of why actors and entertainers are liberal. Most these people have never even been on stage and are frightened to even speak in front of anyone.
I just wanted to explain a little bit as to what my opinion is on this issue. My experience is not at all everyone's experience. Again, lots of people know how to keep their head on their shoulders and are very good at being in the business of entertainment. I just happen to understand the messes of Hollywood.
When I got away from the entertainment industry, I started reading a lot. I listened to the news and, had always been quite interested in politics. I also started listening to talk radio. I began studying math and chemistry. I finally saw an underlying logic to things that I hadn't had the privilege of seeing before. I also became Christian later on.
Even though I was liberal before, I had NO idea how unbelievably selfish I was. It was quite the opposite. I thought I was being a good person by accepting every action, good or bad. What I discovered was, that true love, and true tolerance is when you are able to recognize right and wrong and, not be afraid to point out when someone is doing something wrong. Hate the sin, love the sinner.
A lot of people will say, "I don't agree but, I don't judge if someone does..." x, y, or z. What they are really saying is, they only care about their actions and, they don't care enough to let someone know they are doing something that could potentially hurt themselves. They know the danger because, they would never do it themselves but, do not have the character to try and prevent others from doing something harmful, people they claim to care about. It's easier to say that nothing is black and white and it's all shades of gray. It's easier to avoid an argument or confrontation. It's easier so, therefore it must be right but, that couldn't be further from the truth.
I will give an example:
I know it's wrong to gossip about people. I think we can agree it's not an activity that one should participate in. I'm sure we've all done it from time to time, I admit, I have. For the purposes of this example, we'll pretend my 18 month old daughter is 14 years old. I hear her on the phone gossiping. I will most certainly sit down with her and let her know that what she is doing is wrong and, will eventually get her into trouble.
I would not say, "Well, gossiping isn't something I would do but, it's okay if you chose to do it." It's not okay. What is wrong is wrong and, yes, in the end, my daughter is going to make her own choices but, I'm going to make sure that I have already warned her in advance of the dangers of gossiping. It is much more loving to let someone know when they are doing something wrong then it is to pretend as if it doesn't matter one way or the other.
Sure, the EASIER way is to say it doesn't matter but, who is it easier for? Not the person making the mistake, it's the person that looks the other way and says nothing about the negative consequences that will happen if that wrong is committed.
As liberalism is defined today, at the root of it is a selfish core. You have to remember that many of these folks do not know this at all. They will tell you the exact opposite. They believe because they are superior, that you are just being closed minded and judgmental. What is sad is that, they are actually projecting onto you exactly what is at their core. This is why liberalism is a mental disorder...just like the great Dr. Savage says.
Again, I know there are people in the entertainment industry that are able to understand this. It's just when you have an entertainer that has become so self absorbed, it stands to reason that they are going to be liberals. Liberalism is an ideology rooted in elitism and pure selfishness.
The truly selfless in this culture are those that know that the government doesn't always have the right answers. They believe not only in G-d but, that people can help one another directly. They know that the true spirit of a man is harnessed when they achieve accomplishments on their own and, not through hand outs or affirmative action. They do not see victims but, potential. They do not see race but, humans. They are people that are not afraid to stand up and point out when something is wrong because, they don't care about the "easy way" for them, they care about you.
These are the people I see in the conservative movement and, this is why I am now a conservative. It's not about being better than anyone, it's just about love. G-d is love. Not just a superficial love but, a deep love of mankind. I'm not saying ALL conservatives are like this but, I have seen the greatest love of all come from folks who believe in the Lord and happen to be conservative as well.
I have experience working backstage. My first job was spotlight for the musical, "Sweeney Todd" at the Omaha Community Playhouse. I did various things backstage for them until, I landed a role as the nun in, "Tony 'n Tina's Wedding" which was an improv comedy.

Obama Continues to Push Health Care
Looks like Obama isn't giving up on his health care. He plans to take his message to the people. It looks like his own party is split on a few issues like abortion and, the differences between the democrats in the House and those in the Senate.
It is also being reported that a protest is being planned. This protest will take place at the health insurance industry's annual Washington policy conference. Apparently, they are planning on performing citizen's arrests of representatives from the insurance industry.
Arrest them? For what? Some of these folks have gone way too far. It is clear that if you do not conform to the will of Obama, people are going to do what they can to make you do so. The intolerance and ignorance that is being displayed by the left is mind boggling. How do people not see it?

Are those doctors behind Obama or, are they actors in lab coats?

American Member of al-Qaida - Who is He?
Pakistani officials had originally picked up a member of al-Qaida and, said he was from America. Later, they identified him as Abu Yahya Majadin Adam, with no further information.
The man is suspected to actually be, Adam Gadahn, an American that had been charged with treason and, has been on the FBI's most wanted list. Abu Yahya Majadin Adam has been identified as his alias.
You can read the full story here.
Adam Gadahn was seen on several al-Qaida videos taunting the US.
"The resemblance of the name initially caused confusion but now they have concluded he is not Gadahn," said an intelligence officer, who like all Pakistani intelligence agents does not allow his name to be used. "He feels proud to be a member of al-Qaida."
Okay. This is quite odd. They know this man, Adam Gadahn, looks like the man that has been arrested, wants the destruction of the West, and they have identified the name Abu Yahya Majadin Adam as his alias yet, they are saying the man they detained is not Gadahn?
Well, who is he?

Dems Stuck On Abortion Language
The democrats seem to be divided about what will be covered in the health care bill they intend to pass. Some democrats are not wanting to support abortion at all while, some are okay with it, while some believe only in cases of rape or incest.
You can read the full article on the AP here.
Bottom line is, the democrats are not at all in agreement here. Not all democrats come from liberal havens like California. Some of them come from the Midwestern states, where democrats cannot afford to be supporting federal dollars going towards the killing of an unborn baby.
I'm not sure that we will ever come to an agreement on the issue of abortion in this country but, the feelings on either side of the issue are strong and intense. To have tax payer's dollars going towards abortion, for whatever reason, is completely immoral. The government should not be allowed to take money from those that are convicted on their stance against abortion and supply abortions with their money. That is forcing people to support something they do not feel is moral.
This is just one of many problems that come into play when the government decides they should put their nose in everyone's business. What about transplants? There are many folks that actually do not believe in transplants. Why should their money pay for others to get transplants, if they have a moral problem with that?
I just can't understand the argument on the other side. Typically, I can see why people believe the way they do but, this one just boggles my mind.

Bottom line is, the democrats are not at all in agreement here. Not all democrats come from liberal havens like California. Some of them come from the Midwestern states, where democrats cannot afford to be supporting federal dollars going towards the killing of an unborn baby.
I'm not sure that we will ever come to an agreement on the issue of abortion in this country but, the feelings on either side of the issue are strong and intense. To have tax payer's dollars going towards abortion, for whatever reason, is completely immoral. The government should not be allowed to take money from those that are convicted on their stance against abortion and supply abortions with their money. That is forcing people to support something they do not feel is moral.
This is just one of many problems that come into play when the government decides they should put their nose in everyone's business. What about transplants? There are many folks that actually do not believe in transplants. Why should their money pay for others to get transplants, if they have a moral problem with that?
I just can't understand the argument on the other side. Typically, I can see why people believe the way they do but, this one just boggles my mind.

Liberals Lack Sense of Humor
I know, shocker, right? Apparently, if you post a funny video about Obama, you are someone that is obviously so stupid that you don't know it's a joke.
I posted this video, from The Onion and, two liberals decided to tell me that I posted this as a true story. I was quite confused at first because, I had no idea what my one friend was even referring to. I finally figured out that it was this video and could not, for the life of me, figure out why he would think I posted this as a serious video, when no comment was even made. All you have to do is watch the video for yourself. I simply thought it was funny.
It is painfully obvious that the story is a joke. I guess conservatives are not allowed to joke around or, post anything that is funny about Obama.
Then, today, I have another liberal accuse me of the same thing! I couldn't believe it. No one actually took this video seriously but, apparently the liberals are bound determined to say that conservatives are taking it seriously. From Daily Kos:
(No, it didn’t actually happen. It’s The Onion, of course! But apparently that didn’t stop some Palin fans from believing it was the real deal!)
This is ridiculous. How can you debate with people that are so lacking in a personality that they can't even recognize when others simply find something funny? Instead, they just go out of their way to categorize people as stupid Palin supporters.
These are the same people that think Al Gore is a genius, who invented the internet. I rest my case.
Here's another funny video:
Let's see how many dimwits think that if you find this video funny, you think it's real.

Charlie Rangel Gets Confronted
There's nothing better than seeing a politician get questioned about their piggish behavior and, this video delivers! Jason Mattera does a great job of reeling Rangel in and, confronting him on his abuse of tax payer's money.
\
What's most appalling is Rangel's response, "Why don't you mind your G-- d--- business"? Excuse me, I believe our tax money is our business.
You, Mr. Rangel work for the people, not the other way around! You pig.

Gov. Perry Wins Primary in Texas
"From Driftwood, Texas, to Washington, D.C., we are sending you a message tonight: Stop messin' with Texas!" Perry said to a throng of cheering supporters at the famous Salt Lick barbecue restaurant in Driftwood, just outside of Austin.

Well according to the article on the AP, Perry gained the tea party voters and, stronger conservatives. While Debra Medina, basically ran a poor campaign. Her interview with Glenn Beck probably didn't help either. I heard that interview. Many people were posting it on FB, saying how rude Glenn was. I didn't really think he was that rude; he just simply got her to admit that she thinks there are good arguments on the side of folks who think the government was behind 9/11.
Ummm...okay, Debra. You lose.

Barack Obama Told To Quit Smoking and Drinking

Mr. Obama was told by his doctor that he needs to quit smoking.What I found most disturbing about this article is how it carries on about how Obama is in great health, just the smoking that needs to be removed from his daily routine. Then, at the very end it says, The doctors also recommended "moderation of alcohol intake".
What!? Moderation of alcohol intake? Does this mean he's getting drunk a lot? You don't have to "moderate" anything unless you are over doing it. I guess I'm only supposed to be worried about the smoking though, right? Wow.
