Where on the political spectrum do you lie? (Mods: Please don't move!)

How about this quote:

"I am not bothered by Ronald Reagan's Alzheimer's. You know, there's a lot of cleaner pictures of karma in the world. I mean, it's not a very Christian way of thinking. I do stray sometimes. But I go right from him [Reagan] the farm workers and eating grapes on television during the boycott to him dribbling today. And I feel a sense of justice."
-Sean Penn

I tell you, with quotes like those, it's no wonder the average American feels alienated with the democrats and their supporters.

I don't understand.... If we make abortion illegal then we will create more tax revenue in the future.

What about cracking down on all the illegal immigrants who work here and don't pay taxes but enjoy all the benefits of our government.

What about all the upper class people who receive "tax breaks" while at least 1/3 of my income is taxed.

What about all the Countries that receive aid from us and never repay what we give them.

What about the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, they don't pay taxes but receive the same benefits as being a State.

I think we could find better way to increase our "tax revenue" than by making abortion illegal.












BTW..... I am Pro-Choice........

That would require our politicians to do REAL work, something they aren't good at.

Sean Penn is now the spokesperson for the Democratic Party? Guess I missed the memo.

I always get a kick out of the venom that conservatives spew about Hollywood....considering how starstruck Republicans become upon discovering a celebrity that embraces their view. A celebrity aligns him or herself with the party that bashes Hollywood as part of its platform and the Republicans are falling over each other to convince the said celebrity to run for higher office. Aside from President Ronald Reagan, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and NRA President Charlton Heston, the GOP has actively sought out Bo Derek, Dennis Miller and Kelsey Grammer to run for office in California. And notice the B-list celebrity lineup they trotted out at last year's convention (Rick Schroeder, Elizabeth from Survivor, and my personal favorite, Ron Silver).

And how about Britney Spears and Kid Rock? They're both Republicans! But they're also both in the bullseye of Republican culture warriors...or at least they were before they publicly supported George Bush. What's a conservative to do? Do they invite Kid Rock and Britney Spears to respectively run for the Mayor of Detroit and the Governor of Louisiana? Or do they quietly shift the focus off of Britney and on to a Democratic celebrity who wears too few clothes? Or do they distract the faithful simply by mentioning the name of Sean Penn and Michael Moore, instigating an instant culture war feeding frenzy and providing instant amnesia about the party's conflicting relationship with Hollywood.

Yeah, you missed the memo, it said: CAN'T YOU TAKE A F*CKING JOKE?!

Jesus Christ Amanda, this shit is just funny, lighten up. God, your head is going to explode! You are so dry it makes me want to kill myself. You know, you are like the H-bomb, everyones out having a good time, then you show up and everyone dies. Of course now that I've said that you'll say something like, "How can you make fun of the destruction the H-bomb causes, we should drop hugs instead." Or, "think of how many people we could feed with the money it costs to make 1 H-bomb." Man, it's just a joke, lighten up. You are the most up tight liberal I've ever come into contact with.

Sorry Amanda but... you do.

reaganyouth, my post was intended for humor as well, which I would have thought would have been obvious. Iced-T, please point out one of the "lies" I've told.

Amanda i think its because of the raw, unreasonable hatred that many of the celebrities on the left display. Granted, there are some celebrities on the right that parrot their behavior, but almost all of the raw hatred I hear about is from the loony left. Plus, the vast majority of Hollywood types are leftish, liberal or downright socialist, so the squeaky wheel gets the grease as the saying goes.
