     Those of us who are offended who are in dislike with Russell Brand aren’t necessarily in hate with a sexual preference.

     My point was a general one; not specifically related to Mr. Brand.

     (btw, Russell Brand is incredibly popular in the UK and here in Ireland - his book was number 1, he performed in front of the queen and he’s a regular on late night chat shows).

     I, for one, would like gay people to shut up and live their lives and stop the flashy things they do.

     This is exactly what I’m talking about.

     I would add that conservatives, on the whole, aren’t terribly appreciative of the creative arts.

     Yes, I’m fairly certain that’s part of it, too.

     Liberals claim to live their lives like…tolerance, acceptance etc.?

     It always amuses me when conservatives try to claim liberals are intolerant and unaccepting. They refuse to tolerate your intolerance and refusal to accept others.

     Well looks like his one book here ranks: #239,028

     Not exactly cerebral reading material I’m sure.

     I was surprised to learn he knows how to read and write to tell you the truth. In reading the UK papers, it looks like he doesn’t really have a lot of fans.

     Now, will someone please revoke his work visa? We don’t need cretins of his kind here…makes us look bad.

     Omu Could it just be Hollywood is so full of Leftist? They are NOT scoring John Voight because he is anti-gay and you can’t find where they are. They are ripping the man because he is an unabashed patriot. Now who is an isn’t gay in Hollywood I would not know but who is a Leftist is obvious. All I know of Russell Brand is he is one more EuroTrash punk sticking his nose in my country, 24 hours ago I never heard of the jerk.

     But you are wrong about other things. Have a nice day.

     I mean, honestly, most creative people are liberal.

     Wrong nyk. You are making the assumption that art,music, and literature are the only forms of creativity. While these are largly produced by people are mostly liberals, a very large portion of what they create is also utterly worthless, not just provocative. (While I may not always recognize art when I see it, I can recognize garbage.) Architects, engineers, builders, and a host of other professions are filled with people that spend their time creating things of value, and from my experience very few of them are liberals. Take a close look at a skyscraper, power plant or complex piece of machinery and try to imagine the amount of creative effort that goes into it. It dwarfs anything you will ever see put out by among liberal artists.

     Now, it could be that I’m wrong but we can do a test. Since liberals are so creative, perhaps they will get busy and start showing us how to get cheap, reliable energy from the sun and wind instead of waiting for somebody else to do it? That would be provocative and elicit a reaction!

     This is a crosspost of mine from RedState.com on this whole issue.

     My wife and I flipped between MTVs VMA and ABC’s Salute to Heroes music programs Sunday night.

     We were both aghast only ten minutes into the VMAs. I have filed my own FCC complaint and I encourage others that were offended to do so. Here is the FCC link: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

     This had to be the most underperforming VMA ever!?! My much younger and very attractive wife and I agree. Thank goodness for ABC having a real music show going on that we could enjoy. To encapsulate the themes of this years show: 1. Host BASHES republicans, Americans for electing Bush, thrashes Sarah Palin and her teenage daughter -and- implores America to elect Barack Obama to prove WE ARE NOT A RACIST country. I’ll be sending my complaint to the FCC now, as I delete MTV from our television selections. So much for any of the reality shows we watch there the rest of the year. 2. Brittany Spears FINALLY wins and wins big. 3. Lil’ Wayne needs better boxers (or pull his flippin’ pants up homey) and should not be allowed to dominate all the friggin’ acts… what a total loss. PREDICTION: Disney Channel is becoming what MTV was in it’s early years. A station that plays decent music and ACTUALLY SHOWS VIDEOS during primetime.

     He’s unaware of just who it is in this country that enforces speech codes, indeed invented the Political Correctness they are based on.

     He doesn’t know who wants to invoke the “fairness doctrine”, a pernicious idea meant to kill free speech on the radio.

     He doesn’t know how “liberals” in the US Senate tried to professionally assassinate Rush Limbaugh, a private citizen (and how their attempt was stuffed up their arses, to their univeral moritifcation).

     He hasn’t a freakin clue as to how the Media here has revealed itself to be completely leftist, the great revulsion and resulting loss of readers/viewers their bias has induced, and with it their profitability and the future of their business models.

     It’s only in the last twenty or so years that we have seen the liberals hi jacking the creativity line. It really becomes laughable when you look around and try to find anything creative coming from liberals, that’s precisely what everyone is sick of, the lack of good art of all varieties these days. John Wayne was no liberal, not by today’s standards. James Stewart was an Air force General, Eddie Albert rescued wounded soldiers in WWII pacific island battles.

     A lot of these anti war creeps we see today were parading around a few decades ago, as Jon Voight puts it. on the wrong side others have been nurtured by the careless losers. They now feel the guilt and naturally they lash out at those they deem responsible, America and Americans. Well the worm has turned and now it’s their turn to find out how it feels to be spit upon. Sweet revenge.

     Hollywood Infidel. Andrew Breitbart.
     An American Carol. Lefty mocking.

     Leonardo da Vinci letter to Ludovico il Moro assured him:
     When a place is besieged I know how to cut off water from the trenches and construct an infinite variety of bridges, mantlets and scaling ladders, and other instruments pertaining to sieges. I also have types of mortars that are very convenient and easy to transport…. when a place cannot be reduced by the method of bombardment either because of its height or its location, I have methods for destroying any fortress or other stronghold, even if it be founded upon rock. ….If the engagement be at sea, I have many engines of a kind most efficient for offense and defense, and ships that can resist cannons and powder.

     Leonardo’s one, but if you do the research you will find that over the centuries the most creative were the most progressive as well as loyal partners with the people in their respective countries, and that doesn’t mean making masterpieces out of dodo and throwing them at their presidents. You see, they hi jacked the progressive line too. Liberal means regressive remember that and you will never have to ask, where’s all the art gone?

     Until the day comes when Republicans finally stand up and say “enough!” to all the gay hatred and disrespect, conservatives will continue to be portrayed in a negative light in entertainment.

     Surely, you couldn’t have meant this in seriousness, Omu. The day the Republicans give up their support of the defense of marriage is the day they’ll continue to be “portrayed in a negative light” for being “pro-corporate”, “pro-rich”, “racist”, “sexist”, “pro-war”, “pro-pollution” and whatever other epithet the hard left throws at them.

     I don’t know how this discussion devolved into this, but count me as another conservative Republican who “doesn’t have a problem with gay people.” People are people, period, but the “civil rights” in dispute pale in comparison to the societal recognition blacks fought for fifty years ago. Civil unions, not marriage, and 95% will be fine with it.

     This is such utter BULLSHITE. Palin revealed no information that any “enemy” could act on. Saying “My son’s giong to Iraq next week (or even on a specific day” is NOT against the law, and betrays no secrets.

     A lot of soldiers fly to Germany via commerical airlines, and are then deployed to Iraq via military aircraft.

     Um, just for the record, I have worked in the Entertainment Industry for over 20 years, am a card carrying Journeyman in the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, have worked on films, television shows, had my own theatre back in 1990, concerts, and pretty much every aspect of that industry.

     I am a Conservative, a Republican and have been met with nothing but hatred, bigotry, anti-Heterosexual attacks, and threatened with being fired off of jobs and jobs sites simply because of my Political affiliation.

     So don’t start thinking you know all about what it is like in Hollywood or anywhere else. I can tell you that everything you are claiming that Republicans are so guilty of is actually the things that Liberals, gays, and Democrats are so proud of doing themselves in that industry and worse. You yourself, with the posts that you have made just on this blog have demonstrated the hypocrisy of the Left. All your and Liberals whinings and complaints about the Right are simply nothing more than projections of your own feelings and beliefs.

     There is not a single Democrat or Liberal anywhere that hides their beliefs, is in fear of retribution or worse if someone finds out about them.

     And to top it all off, to attempt to take the high ground and claim that the Liberals and Democrats are such tolerant, peaceful, kind, etc. people after everything we have been witness to and forced to have to explain to our children over the last two weeks alone only demonstrates your and others on your sides failure to accept and recognize that you are the exact opposite of what you claim to be and represent, and frankly any woman or minority that remains a Democrat after all this is nothing more than a self-loather and hypocrite of the worst degree.

The fact that MTV fired him after he dressed as Osama Bin Laden and then allowed him back on their airwaves just shows how much they have no morals or ethics. If anything he just proves the point how whacked out the far left is.

Lets go a step further: the reality is conservatives refuse to tolerate liberal intolerance of conservative intolerance! Thus proving our love of tolerance and diversity even more because true tolerance is based on tolerance of views you dislike, even ones that are considered intolerant.

     I’m a US citizen and I lived in Texas for most of life. Ireland and the other parts of Europe I’ve seen are certainly not a cesspool. If I recall correctly, Europe is not lead by a completely inept, hugely unpopular president who lies and lies to get to go to war with the Middle East. I’m also fairly certain that Europe is a much safer place than the US, and maybe - just maybe - it has something to do with everyone not being entitled to carry handguns and uzi’s around with them. European governments don’t exploit a vulnerable minority (gays) to “excite” a demographic base. EU governments look after their citizens when it comes to healthcare and social care. There is a reason it’s European countries that have the highest quality of life rates on Earth.

     Also, Europe is altogether much more cultured and sophisticated than the US. So, yes, I’ll stay here, but it certainly isn’t a cesspool.

     Whoa, you’re attacking Ireland now? Pathetic.

     Ireland is a country of 4 million people, so to suggest that it could somehow rival a gargantuan superstate like the US (with a population of 300 million) in terms of inventions and the sciences is absurd.

     In any case, are you forgetting who built America? You see, I think it was - to a large degree - the Irish who fled the famine and came to New York.

     Are you forgetting about Ireland’s massiely prolific record in terms of literature? Seamus Heany, Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, Johnathan Swift, James Joyce, W.B Yeats, Samuel Beckett, Brian Friel etc. Ireland’s literary prowess is outstanding especially when you consider how small a country it is.

     You would do well to keep your snotty comments to yourself.

     Probably not. From Wikipedia:

     The gun policy in Switzerland is unique in Europe. The personal weapon of militia personnel is kept at home as part of the military obligations. This, in addition to liberal gun laws and strong shooting traditions, has led to a very high gun count per capita. Switzerland has one of the highest gun ownership rates in the world, but also one of the lowest firearm related crime rates in the world.

     It probably has a lot more to do with the fact that Europe does not have a huge ‘diverse’ underclass (Democrats)dominated by thugs and drugs. Crime rates in solidly middle class (Republican)areas are similiar to European rates. I know if my car broke down in the middle of the night, I’d sure as hell hope it was in a Republican leaning neighborhood, not one filled with Democrats and community organizers.

     Also from Wikepedia (Ireland race demographics)

     Ethnic backgrounds: White: 94.8% (including 0.5% Irish Traveller), Asian: 1.3%, Black: 1.1%, Other/Mixed: 1.1%, Not Stated: 1.7% (2006)

     So did you move there so you could experience diversity? Those numbers make the RNC seem like a liberal diversity dream team. You must be having a genuine multi-cultural experience you can always be proud of!

     “I wanted to say she was forcing her teenage daughter to have a baby because she is so anti-abortion.

     “But also, as a Republican, she is pro-execution so she is going to give her the electric chair for being a little ****. They weren’t keen on that one.”
