amen, brother.

[...] Update: “We’re all Americans — NOW.” [...]

Check out Celebutards by Andrea Peyser for more on the Hollywood left’s love affair with stupidity!

Yeah…except neither Iraq nor its people were actively planning on killing Americans on our soil, we deliberately chose to invade their country.

I like Obama. Dislike(ed) Bush. Love this commentary. I subscribe to the “keep it in the family” philosophy and believe it applies on a national level as well. Never talk negatively about your family to any outsiders and never when the outside could be listening. If one of us is in a fight we’re all in a fight. Who cares why your crazy brother started the fight and what the neighbors will think of you – he’s family and he comes first.

Titov, what are you doing here? Really, even Obama has said he would send in troops to rid a country of a murderous dictator. Go watch MSNBC to see what Michelle will be wearing tomorrrow.

I am so sick of hearing about how AL-Queda is such a big threat to me and they want to kill me. What I am worried about are young black males who will shoot you in parking lots for the money in your pocket.

Nobody in north Texas has been killed by Al Queda in north Texas. Many have been killed by young black males lookin’ to get their murder on.

Let me know the number of Al Queda murders vs black murders in your city

[...] First there are the unsettling Obama/dictator posters.  Then came the media slobbering love fest.  And now we have a video of a bunch of celebrities literally making public pledges to be Barack Obama’s “servant”. [...]

So, Sheila, did your eyes glaze over and the drool start dripping from your mouth when Obama and others correctly pointed out that we abandoned our war efforts against the perpetrators of 9/11 in order to preemptively start a war with a country that hadn’t actually attacked us on 9/11?

I’m certainly not one of those 9/11 inside job nutters, or in the blood for oil crowd. HOWEVER, I think that one of the motivating factors behind our invasion of Iraq was the erroneous assumption on the part of the war planners that somehow the Iraqis wouldn’t fight back. The erroneous assumption that we would be greeted as liberators. We had no actual plan once we got to Bagdad. We utterly failed to protect ethnic minorities from religious reprisals. No one had work. No one had electricy. No one had water. Then we STUPIDLY started torturing their citizens in Abu Ghirab. Lo and behold, Al Queda fills the authority vacuum in the Sunni parts of the country, and Iran finally gains the power foothold in the country it had sought for many years.

So, seriously, what did we really get out of this adventure? IF Iraq’s government survives, what you’ll have is a Shia dominated pseudo-theocracy tacitly allied with Iran and a near permanent civil war between the warring groups (with a possible Turkish incursion against the Kurds thrown in). No way in hell will Iraq allow us to establish permanant military bases on their land as a means of a future US invasion of Iran.

Meanwhile, Bin Laden is living and in no danger of being caught. The Taliban have reseized over half of Afghanistan. Heckuva job, Bushie.

So, appealing to racial prejudice is an acceptable means of fighting a war?

Beautifully written. The arrogance of these celebrities is appalling and sickening. I will not go pay money to watch these infantile condescending blockheads “act”.

Great article!
I’ll be bookmarking this website.

Ah Celebrities-they are so beautiful and extremely stupid. Surrounded by YES people, they have no mind of their own and think the world evolves around them. Bunch of morons

Having worked with these half wits I can say they are so insulated from the real world they have no understanding of how the rest of the people of the country live, they have their personal assistants and “staff” do all the things we as regular people do ourselves they ARE narcissistic and out of touch, if they don’t get what they please they throw tantrums, have people fired for minor mistakes and look down on all their “fans” with distain and loathing we as a people give them too much credit and influence over our daily lives and thought. Now they want more money for the “work” they do… and by doing so have sidelined hundreds of film workers for 8 month Praise be to the all knowing caring and self inflated thespian Mya yoou live long enough to reap the consequence or your excessive pathetic lives…VIVA LA Moron>>>

I think you’re missing the left’s point. It was not, “Hate America” for 8 years, and suddenly on January 20th, “Love America.” It is the heartfelt love of America that made the last 8 years of Bush’s betrayal of the American Ideal so hard to take.

Whether it’s foreign policy (remember when we used to defend countries abroad, instead of invading them?), or the economy (the financial meltdown kinda speaks for itself), privacy and civil rights, the environment, women’s rights, education — we are demonstrably worse off and farther from the spirit of 1776 than we were when Bush took office.

I had just about given up, myself. Maybe the Obama administration will prove itself corrupt and inefficient, like others of both Democratic and Republican stripe have in the past. But the beauty of change is that it gives us hope, hope that our beloved country can be the dream.

Obama and the Democrats now have their turn. And if a little Hollywood hoopla gets more citizen involvement, even for a while, I think that’s a good thing.

[...] I linked to this blog the other day so if you followed it, you’ve probably read this already. But if you haven’t, go ahead and read it now. A fine, lucid indictment of the wishy-washiness of Hollywood celebs. He’s got it exactly correct. For the past 8 years, nobody has stopped anybody from “serving their country.” In fact, many in Hollywood have been downright hateful in their criticism of the country. Remember Alec Baldwin’s promise to move out of the country when Bush was elected? A promise that sadly, wasn’t kept. But elect the lefty Democrat and all of a sudden, they’re “patriotic” again. I find it all really disgusting.Breitbart also makes the correct point that “Hollywood” flourished during the Bush years – it was good times all around (my note: until the Dems took over Congress and the economy went to crap). The best line of the op-ed comes from a reader that emailed him in the midst of his writing: “Reminder to liberal celebrities: It’s time to set your Fluctuating Patriotism  Clock from “Hate America” to “Love America” on Jan. 20th.” Many of us don’t agree with Obama’s agenda nor voted for him, but I want him to succeed. I don’t want him to succeed in all he said he’d do, but I want him to be “successful” in discharging his duties of protecting our nation. Real Americans don’t base their love of country on who’s currently in power – they love their country irrespective – even when it’s not “their guy” in the White House. Those of us that didn’t vote for him are going to keep doing what we’ve always done – working to provide for ourselves and hopefully, keep the feds out of our hair. On the plus side of all of Hollywood’s idiotic, nonsensical, narcissistic, anti-American/pro-Obama blathering, I’ve managed to save a ton of entertainment dollars over the past year by not going to the movies to support them. It used to be that I would go to see a movie because of a particular actor. Now I avoid movies because of a particular actor. Permalink [...]

You can’t spell “conservative” without “CON”. Dopes.

I PLEDGE!

The question is always, “What do you want?” The answer is always, “Information . . .”

I pledge to preserve Freedom in the face of Servitude. In the immortal words of the late Prisoner Number 6: “I am not a number. I am a Free Man.”

I find this sentence most surprising:

“…Hollywood can continue to make decadent crap that actually motivates our enemy to fight us harder!”

If you are so incensed by actions that make your “enemy” fight you even harder, then why aren’t you incensed when the United States Air Force drops bombs on, say, a wedding party in Afghanistan killing scores of civilians. It would seem to me that actions like that would motivate people to fight even harder, more so than a movie.

Your anger is misplaced, and Hollywood liberals are an easy target.

I pledge to give Obama the same level of respect that the left gave Bush. Really, I guarantee it!

Ridicule is one of the chief weapons of…Ridicule and shameless lies are two weapons…Among the diverse weaponry bestowed by Lenin on the Modern Left are ridicule, shameless lies and exploitation of emotion. When the good guys realize that you cannot deal in good faith, that they must employ the tactics of those that want to drag them down, it will be a start.

But Demi Moore and Aston Kutcher are such easy targets. It’s not sporting. D’oh!

[...] Breitbart says it better (via Instapundit): “[T]hey want fast and easy absolution for having comported themselves like ill-behaved children for eight difficult and war-torn years.” [...]

Celebrities that are NOW ready to be proud of their country and support the president. They are the blame America first crowd and stomp on America’s flag types when Bush was here. They disgust me.

I pledge to ask my supermarket to double/triple bag my groceries, with good old PLASTIC bags. I pledge to run my dishwasher, washer, and dryer without anything in them. I pledge to take a drive for not reason whatsoever.

Pledge this.

i pledge not to stay silent and not back down when the liberal professors and whiners promote their bs and try to guilt and shame us into silence. conservatives aren’t going away, and the more they pull bs like this, the stronger and madder we get. REAGANISM!

[...] by Lewis on 19 January 2009 Andrew Breitbart rightfully slams the Hollywood gliteratti for their eight-year case of Bush Derangement Syndrome…and then [...]

Bush proved himself a terrible leader. His policies failed.

NOW, i don’t know what will happen under the Obama administration, but nobody really does.

Bush started with a stolen election and then acted as if he had a mandate from a neo conservative majority.

Obama has started with preparedness and unity.

Mock celebrities all you want, but recognize the difference between Bush and Obama!

(I guess I am apologizing for my distaste for our former government, but I feel justified, and confident that if Obama is half as bad I will also speak out against it.)

i didn’t watch the vomit-fest of talentless singers performing for Obama at that concert but I did hear Tiger Woods didn’t want to touch politics and did a shout out to the military and thanked them. It’s nice to hear a few people in d.c. in the obamathon aren’t pledging their undying love to him.

Did anyone see or hear his part? It’s great he showed his patriotism and appreciation to the ones that fight for us and to his country unlike the celebutards in this video.

Thank you Mr. Andrew Breitbart for saying what needed to be said concerning the disgusting behavior of the Hollywood elitists.

Ashton “Super Genius” Kutcher could have saved himself a lot of brain-strain if he’d just borrowed one of these pledges and tweaked a few words:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichswehreid

God, It’s good to know I’m not the only one in the vast wasteland of the obamanation… I wish him well, but the fruitcakes are going to be intolerable for the next four years. It helps to know, I’m not the only one who feels this way. Great article.. thank you.

You said it.
It is nauseating that these libs expect the rest of us to forget how awful they were these past 8 years. I, for one, will never forget their attacks on my Commander and Chief during wartime.

I pledge to never forget the pigs of Hollywood, like Sean Penn etc., etc., etc. I do not now, nor will I watch any of their movies, award shows etc. I often tell the networks and contact their advertisers telling them I will not purchase their products because they sponsor such a litany of self agrandizing, unpatriotic buffoons.

I cant stand these celebs if Andrew can give us lists of liberal names in hollywood so I can pledge to BAN THEM to Blacklist them from watching their show and their movie!
What have they done to My country! our Military who shed their blood and tears to save us all from dictators from marxism from socialism. I am crying im in tears!!!
I am going to miss President Bush! This is going to be so hard on me, i dont know what to do, I am in tears i dont know what to do. America Died nov 4 when Unpatriotic morons voted this empty suit!

[...] Andrew Breitbart: Missing are pledges not to kiss the ring of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and other pledged enemies of America. Nor are there pledges not to make movies that glorify these tyrants. Nor are there pledges to take seriously that we are at war, will continue to be at war under President Obama and that our precious and under-appreciated military is fighting an avowed and evil enemy — so that, among other things, Hollywood can continue to make decadent crap that actually motivates our enemy to fight us harder! [...]

“Forgive and forget? Right.”
WRONG! I urge everyone to give as has been given in the past 8 years. For every dig at a conservative, give one back to liberals. We have to fight fire with fire.

As a Canadian living in a socialist country, I wouldn’t wish having Big Brother breathing down my neck on my worse enemy. Good luck America, you’re gonna need it.

I pledge to Obama bash just like you did to Bush. He’s a poser. A pot smoker actually. Weve seen the pictures. He looks like pimp daddy in his hat. He’ ll fail. Watch and see. Now put down the Koolaid pitcher.

So, the Left has spent the last 7 years howling about impending totalitarianism, slandering conservatives as fascists-in-waiting and vowing to hinder their country at every turn. Questioning everything, no matter how sane or reasonable, was the in thing.

And now they pledge to “serve” the new president. Doing what you’re told is now the in thing. Don’t question authority.

Judas Priest!

I am a first time reader, but not a last time. Your post says everything I would. Bravo. I plan to join you in the mocking.

I am still laughing. What a bunch of self absorbed simpletons. The rest of America, and George Bush, has been doing for years what they now “pledge” to do. While the rest of America has been doing this, the rest of America has had to listen to them complain, whine, snivel, and moan about how bad the “felt” for America. Guess what folks. Nothing has changed except an extremely unprepared and inexperienced President will be sworn in tomorrow. World events make it possible for Obama to be a great President. I hope he is. But it doesn’t look good. Leadership requires more than the ability to speak platitudes. Leadership requires the ability to act; on principle and with an understanding of, geez I hate to say it, American exceptionalism. Obama is in danger of being paralyzed from acting by political correctness. I hope he quickly becomes the bold man he’ll need be. I’m not holding my breath though.

I pledge to speak of our new president with exactly the level of respect, deference and warmth that I have learned is appropriate from our “creative community”.

I further pledge to wait at until at least 20 minutes after the inauguration before uttering the phrase “descent is the highest form of patriotism”

Bush stewardship has failed America by every yard stick we own. He has not ensured the domestic well being, failed to protect the national wealth, he has not increased American influence and prestige overseas, and has had a contentious relationship with the law and the authority vested in the executive.

And you people are pissed off what a bunch of Hollywood tools are saying?

What about the GOP’s failure, no, abandonment of Reagan and Goldwater? Why are you not outraged by the huge government largess shown to failed businessmen both on wall street and in Detroit? Where is the upset over for lives and health of our fighters who are doing a hard job that gets harder when there is no clear mission and certainly shoddy justification for engagment.

Why? Because conservative America has run out of ideas. The only issues are the superficial; what drooling slobs spout off about curries much more interest than the sober business of governance.

Who is the rising star of the right? Sarah Palin will be with us for a long time not because of her aptitude or gravitas. But for just the opposite: she embodies the shallow shrill harping that is so seductive to those who want to be “right” more than they want to be accurate.

Look above at the responses to this tittering myspace blog of an article. The responses, like the essay itself, are all about hurt feeling and twits who are looking to litigate the Bush legacy through snottiness to the new administration.

Can anyone really be this fired up about what a skeeze who is most famous for pretending to be a stripper, an adolescent prankster, and a black man who has only profited from the misery of the poor black experience, have to say?

Yes—you can. If you miss the bigger picture and several of you are.

I liked this when it was originally called the “Points of Light Foundation” by President George H.W. Bush.

“We have within our reach the promise of renewed America. We can find meaning and reward by serving some purpose higher than ourselves — a shining purpose, the illumination of a thousand points of light. It is expressed by all who know the irresistible force of a child’s hand, of a friend who stands by you and stays there — a volunteer’s generous gesture, an idea that is simply right.”

I’ll say the same thing to these celebutards that I said to those folks pushing the “We Promise” hokum about reaching out to those who didn’t vote for Obama and working together – I’ll put every bit of effort into following your shining example that you put in over the last 8 years. Zer0 gets nothing but ridicule from me, and you hypocrites get my contempt.

Epic. Absolutely scathing, and these Hollywood freaks deserve nothing less.

The writing was high minded, which means those in the video (and their sycophantic gossip-mongering worshippers) will not fully understand this essay. Written by an adult, for adults.

Made my day! Keep it up, Andrew.

Well done Breitbart, what you wrote is why this is such a great country. Even though I dislike Obama as a politician and did not vote for him, tommorrow he will be my president. When he does something right we should give him the credit and when wrong hold him accountable.

As far as these morons that just realized they are proud to be Americans, they can “Pound Sand.” Hopefully, this site has a long life and you keep everything archived. Someday, this war will be seen in a different light as Vietnam was and these people need to be remembered for their stupidity. As a veteran, I will never forgive or forget those that have made this fight harder due to their hatred and lies.

Thomas Paine had a term – “sunshine patriot.” These people are something much worse.

Andrew summed up the last eight years well. This post and the media travesty of the last election are reminders enough. Obama gets no benefit of the doubt, neither does his treacherous party. I wish the best for my country, and specially those who serve over seas. But I wish him and his ilk no success. They showed their character when it mattered most.

MarkJ:

I checked out that website. Eery. Reminded me of the little kids in the video that was circulating during the campaign. The one that was juxtaposed next to the Hitler youth drumming their allegiance. It simply amazes me that intellegent people (not talking about the idiots) don’t see the correlation. God help us.

This is a frightening website. I think you all are bunch of traitors and should stop taking that hillbilly heroin, or listening to the fat guy who takes it for his vision.

I hope you all reap the whirlwind from you hatred, because the seeds of your destruction were sewn by the poles that were booted out by the people.

Bod bless America and save us from fifth columnists at Big Hollywood.

[...] Breitbart acerbically notes that President Bush was not holding back Moore from “free[ing] one million people from slavery in [...]

We will not know for a few years if President Bush was the idiot portrayed in the press. Thankfully we already know that celebrities are idiots.

After watching…well, skimming…through that video I was trying to think of the right words for my reaction. And then I remembered what my dentist told me when he stuck that thing in my mouth. He said to watch out for my gag reflex. That’s it…gag reflex. Nice post, Andrew. Love the site.

Breitbart, nail on head.

What unbelievably sanctimonious fools they are. These people are so morally bankrupt that the only way they can sleep at night is by telling themselves that they stand for something virtuous and good. The dopes that think their views mean anything are even worse. There are not enough tissues for all of their issues…

No more pledge of allegiance to the flag. We are no longer one nation under God. We are now one Nation under Obama. The USA has been taken over by a strange cult. Be very afraid.

What a marvelous exchange. This is my first time here — and it won’t be my last! I heard Andrew on the Rusty Humphries Show and thought I’d pop in. I’m glad I did.

Couldn’t at least one of them have pledged to stop making crappy movies?

How about not making movies that encourage our kids to smoke dope, use foul language, or get pregnant before they’re married? How about pledging to make movies encouraging kids to respect their parents, get a good eduction, do their homework, and not buy into cults of personalities be they of actors, music stars or politicians?

How about it Hollywood? How about taking some responsibility for your professional work as well?

“The essence of all jokes, of all comedy, seems to be an honest or well intended halfness; a non performance of that which is pretended to be performed, at the same time that one is giving loud pledges of performance. The balking of the intellect, is comedy and it announces itself in the pleasant spasms we call laughter.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The sad thing about this video is, it’s not intended to be comedy, yet seems to rest nicely under the umbrella of Emerson’s definition. In any case, it certainly announces itself in this instance, in “unpleasant” spasms of laughter. This video left idiot well in the rear view mirror.

Andrew, great piece. I’m sorry you had to write it.

How miffed are the celebrities going to be when they see the Iranians burning The One in effigy like they were doing last week?

I think artists and their support of political leaders kind of peaked with Wagner and Hitler. But since they are so “evolved” or at least that’s what Mary Hart tells us, I guess we should put away the books and listen to what Jessica Alba, great artist that she is, thinks of Bill O’Reilly, for God’s sake. I did watch the We Are One thing tonight and was somewhat nauseated. I wish the new President well because this is our country and he is now my President. But watching these bozos (where’ve they all been for the last 8 years??) extolling us all to “come together” did turn my stomach thanks to a hypocrisy overload. Still, it’ll be interesting to listen to what they have to say now they don’t have Bush/Cheney to carp about. And why Caroline Kennedy (I forgot to vote for several years) is so qualified after having to listen to them villify Sarah Palin. On the plus side, many may have had money with Madoff, so it could all be a pot luck dinner.

I have to add my amen to the pile. phenomenal article. So… when is our alternative “I Pledge” video coming out? that’s the one i want to see.

To Gump: You’re a certified moron, and you’re lucky to live in the United States where the Bush administration was protecting your butt, even if you didn’t want it to be that way. Wake up and smell the coffee!

great article, and sadly spot-on

I pledge not to act like the Democrats, but rather to give Obama a chance to be a good president.

Democrats weren’t willing to give Bush a chance. He was demonized even before he took office. They whined because Al Gore didn’t win. Bush allowed the results to be recounted several times. He did NOT steal the election. The Supreme Court declared him the winner. So, Dems never let it go. For eight years, they’ve had sour grapes.

Now, let’s not make the same mistake. Let’s teach Democrats how to unite behind a president even when you don’t agree with him. I will disagree loudly when I disagree, but I did that with Bush. His stupid immigration idea was unacceptable, and I said so. I will give Obama the same treatment. I’ll probably disagree more, but I’ll at least give him credit when he does something good. Everyone seems to have forgotten how bad Saddam Hussein really was. If Bush lied to get rid of him, I’m glad he did. However, they HAVE found the makings of WMDs in Iraq. Of course, it will never be reported by the MSM. And I still believe there are WMDs over there.

I just wish Democrats would back Republican presidents and Republicans would back Democrat presidents. Like him or hate him, he is our president and DESERVES respect. Republicans, let’s show Obama the respect Bush never got from the Dems.

AMEN! Great article. I live for the day when those self serving, lotus eating, navel gazing, delusional fools in Hollywood wake up to themselves. As a young (American) man I lived and worked in LA and got to know how things work there fairly well. I have since lived and worked overseas for the best part of my life now and have gotten to know life looks and works outside of the US. You would think they would be embarrassed! Shame on them!

Nice slam on the Hollywood bastards. Are you going to join the FReepers Wednesday morning on Dr. Phil to see Ann Coulter?

michael you are right a leopard Never changes his spots My military friends don`t trust the socialist

Seditious Media-be it news or entertainment, has a lot of blood and misery on it’s hands. Even when we were at or near full employment, the media relentlessly talked down the economy. I opposed the Iraq War, but once the decision was made I wanted it to succeed-not be undermined every step of the way.

May the curse be returned upon the Left.

I pledge to not watch your movies that denegrate our troops, to not listen to your crap music that tells women they are bitches and hoes. I pledge to vote against gay marriage and the expansion of stem cell research. I pledge to never watch your stupid “I Pledge” video ever again. I pledge to support the effort to kill our enemies in their backyard instead of my backyard. I pledge to support female actresses pledge to decrease their use of silicone. We have to think of the planet people. I pledge to pray, to Jesus, for Obama. I pledge to support Israel. I pledge to read Big Hollywood to understand just how petty and self absorbed, and hateful Hollywood is.

Congratulations you celebutards. You’ve decided to do what conservatives have been doing for generations. Way to go!

I have never commented on an artical on the interent before, but hey this is one artical worth respoding to. The fact that these traiters to their country, demectratic party and some republicans suddly find their country is suddenly worth serving because a Communist or aka Democrate is in power. Discusts me period even tho I thought Ex Pres Clinton was a worthless President I never wished him dead I never opposed the troops when he sent them into nations with no chance in hell, to stand and fight against the United States armed forces. As was stated by many who posted you swear allegiance to God And Country. Not One Man!!! during times of war or tough times you stand by and support your presedant whether you voted for him or not. When it is an illigle act being done or commited you fight with every ounce of your strength that God gives you to stop him that is your patriotic duty, whether you support him or not a crime is a crime no matter what party tag is next to their name . I am and will always be a supporter of President Bush. I disagree with the Patriat act, I disagree with him on Immigration. I venomitly dissagree’ed with the bail out package. I do not blame him for a hurricane hitting a city below sea lvl. the local population, city and state officials have none to blame but them selves for that mess. But despite what I think about Iraq ( I do think we should have went into Iraq But would rather have seen us take out Iran first ) I will always support the armed forces of the United States no matter who is president whether they be Repulican or Communist… oops sorry always get communist and Democrate parties confused, agendas so alike you know. But that is were the Hypocrisy of the great lie known as the left, liberal communist, democrate are. A war is ok in democrate circles as long as one of their own is sitting in the white house. If President Bush had been a Democrate the Democratic left would have stood by him. The Democratic party and media would not have attacked him the way that they did. But hey I am just rambling looking forward to coming back here and if anyone of the Communists… Ooops did it again sorry I ment Democrate slip of the tounge you can call it, think I am wrong then by all meens call me out and PROOVE ME WRONG

Many, many thanks, Andrew, for expressing my feelings exactly. Living through these past 8 years has been like going to high school and having all of your friends call you a slut/whore/bitch/liar while you were there and suddenly, a few years later, run into you and pretend like it never happened! Can’t forget and won’t forgive. And, by the way, I just don’t think they’re cool anymore. So I can do without the movies and the TV shows and the music and other forms of “entertainment”. I have new friends now and they are just as talented and certainly more interesting. I don’t know if it will make a difference in terms of their livelihood, but I am not going to waste another cent of my hard-earned money or a minute of my professional time earning that money on any of them.

Obama is now at the wheel. I wish him sucess as far as not crashing the bus the get us killed.

I pledge to support equality, by giving the left what was given to us in the last 8 years, short of wishing harm to Barry O and his family.

I pledge not to give my hard earned and heavily taxed dollars to any of these lefty loons.

I pledge to “save energy” by turning the remote/player to OFF rather than MUTE when these retards pop up in the future on screen or radio.

Uhm…okay, we are done as a country. THESE JERKS! What kept them from doing these STUPID things the past 8 years. Why all of the sudden do they want to, for example, end slavery…was this not a problem before now? They are sickening. Sickening, sickening. Self-serving pieces of crap.

Andrew
I have been looking at this and think that there is some convergence with the cross ownership of media companies. They push the sell through and probably make sure that their celebs understand that they will toe the line as it emerges with the talking points, which are being generated by a wide array of sources from moveon.org to dnc to whatever soros says. Is there a conspiracy ? Only to sell soap ! The whole industry has become a cross-sell oppo. The biz has become a self-reflective icon: endless award shows, People like magazines, cable content, and it is all there to sell soap. The politicization happens in the salons of NY and is dictated downwards to the talent. These people, in all their vacuous airs, still understand that the job must be kept. Maybe sexual harassment laws have turned the casting couch into a podium.

Waldo, the problem with equating the Iraq War with Lincoln’s Constitutional missteps is that at no time did Iraq represent an existential threat to the United States. I’m sorry, but the evidence just wasn’t there, and certainly nothing at all justified the couple trillion dollar war we CHOSE to start there instead of bringing the 9/11 planners to justice.

Maybe the better analogy is Bush and FDR, in as much that both men skillfully used racially based propoganda as a means of gaining support for their war efforts.

These Hollywood losers need to get a life. We don’t care what you pledge. I hope the next attack is in Hollywood to wake you pathetic people up! You are all embarrassing to this country.

I pledge to never watch the last minute and a half of that video. I pledge to spend ZERO dollars at the movie theaters this year. I pledge to wait until movies I REALLY want to see are on the 99 cent rack before renting them. I pledge to do my very best to never put another nickel into the pockets of these self-righteous flip-flopping pricks in the Hollywood Elitists Club. Nobody can convince me that these libturds from Hollywood were being held back from doing charitable work for the past eight years or from trying to be better people. This Cult Of Personality has gotten out of control, and the ObaMessiah has yet to DO anything. It’s pathetic…truly pathetic.

You’re sending a thrill up my leg, baby!!! Keep ‘em comin’!!!

Seriously people…grow up and act like adults. Some of the comments here are just downright frightening, hopefully the secret service is taking note! There is nothing wrong with supporting the conservative/republican agenda, but dear lord…get a grip! Can’t you see that all of this hateful rhetoric from the right is what fueled the your defeat? I voted for GHWB and GWB in 2000…but there is no way in the world I would EVER want to be associated with this type of behavior.

When even neutral subjects such as history were being politicized on the Discovery Channel I knew that it was time to turn off the tube and stop seeing movies. I made that decision several years ago. I was visiting a friend at Easter last year and she had on Discovery and honest to goodness the show was literally a documentary explaining how Jesus was a myth or some such drivel. They run this kind of thing at Christmas too. This crazy liberal anti Christian mindset is so persuasive in the entertainment industry that I swear it will be commercials next and Sesame Street. To me this is not only disgusting but frightening. It’s like these people are “Stepford Celebrities” No one in the US entertainment industry seems capable of rational thought or even being able to look at the other side for comparison. Guess what Hollywood and New York when Al Quaeda comes to call it will be one or the other of these two cities that they will most likely hit. Maybe they’ll get it then, you know being literally knocked over the head? Until then nothing will change and we can only hope to survive the next four years (hopefully not 8). 2012, 2012, 2012!

To “Shawn E” and all others who believe conservatives shouldn’t comment using hyperbole against the left and what they did to President George W Bush and our Armed Forces for the past 8 years….

This is called “Quid Pro Quo”.
For the last 8 years, the left has done nothing but make baseless and deliberately false accusations and insinuations about George W Bush and our military. GWB did his level best (much to the shagrin of many in the conservative base) to “reach across” and get along with the left, not only on the Hill, but in other ways as well.

And unless you weren’t paying attention, they were quite clear in their disgust for him, for those who voted for him, and for those in our military in whom he had great faith.

The left is controlled by the extreme wing of their party now. In case anyone missed it, extreme left is socialism and communism. Extremes on both sides, to be sure, are not good. However, it doesn’t take a major research project to reveal what was said and done for the past 8 years, by those on the left. WE remember, and pledge to never forget, their behavior.

A taste of their own “medicine” is in order.
They’ve gotten by for 8 years, with no one using THEIR tactics and THEIR logic against them. That ends today. Period.

It’s important to remember that those of us who will be engaging in this “resistance” for at least the next 4 years, don’t want things to be this way. We don’t have this deep hatred festering in the pit of our stomach for years on end, much like the left does. No, we understand that BOTH sides need to work together, or nothing of substance gets done. BOTH sides need to think of the country, its security, and its citizenry first, before anything else.

Yeah, I know, that doesn’t happen too often. But, we know it CAN, and by and large, it’s always republicans and conservatives who do the most “reaching” to the other side, in spite of being called “hate mongers” throughout history.

As of today, it’s time the left starts reaching.

The right will be busy, getting back to core political principals (which, if I had my way, would be 100% political federalism). More people identify themselves as “conservative”, yet we now have a socialist in the White House. Why? Because those who voted for him are not convinced that conservatism will work for them. The right needs to get busy producing historical data for those folks, and outline for them why political conservatism will always be better than giving up a part of their lives to government, by way of accepting welfare, health care, and other entitlements, as well as always looking to government to be their “savior”.

Remember, the minute a person accepts government “help” is the minute they hand over that little piece of their life to government control, whether they comprehend it or not. Government then becomes “care-taker”. In essence: Modern-day “slavery” to one degree or another.

Yes…the left can do the reaching….And while they do it, they can enjoy being pelted with the same BS they’ve dropped for the past 8 years.

Mr. B,

Very well put. Might it be possible that the more conservative side of entertainment begins its upward surge towards providing solutions and assistance in this new Administration, as opposed to the more liberal side with their childish swipes, profanity, and vitriol displayed over the last eight years?

If we agree with you we are “enlightened” if we disagree then we are “venomous” that is your wheelhouse obviously. You are right about one thing we are in for a long 4 years (no + methinks) While we’ve had to listen to you lefties whine and bi–h for the last 8 years it was with the certain and sure knowledge that a good man was in the whitehouse doing the best he could. What those of us on the right also know for certain is that the new office holder is an inept, unexperienced Chicago poll who has the backing of some really shady characters. You can tell a man by the company he keeps (J Wright, Bloggo, Imanuel, oh and that William Ayers fellow). Those on the right KNOW that we are about to go through hell those of you on the left are going to be blindsided and I’ll be on the sidelines laughing my a off!

Crap…

I just watched this smoldering turd….

I pledge to never purchase, view, or comment on any of these worthless cowards ever again.

Andrew speaks many truths about how the left supports the Afghanistan war but not the Iraq War (like they really have the troops’ victory in mind). In detail, they lie when they say they support the troops in Iraq because they don’t. The troops are winning the mission in Iraq and have kicked and smashed Al Queda there. Where is their thank you? The left never cheered for the troops to fight on! Let us all see if these anti-war teens will cheer on 20k troops that are headed to Afghanistan to kill the Taliban. Let’s see if they will keep their word or if they will cry that we should be law enforcers. GET THIS THROUGH YOUR PANSY PANTS, ” WHEN WE WERE IN IRAQ in 2003 AND Afghanistan the majority of the troops re-enlisted! And this year as well!” THIS IS PROOF THAT OUR COWBOYS IN THE MILITARY SEE THE NEED TO FIGHT! Something the college elites will never understand because they are neutered.

[...] Great post at Big Hollywood noting the newly found love of country for the Hollywood [...]

It never fails; you watch their films and TV shows and you grow to like them, find them very appealing. And then they open their yaps and you find it startling to hear such pabulum. And then you realize that what you liked about them was the character, and it wasn’t them at all. You realize that they are completely empty vessels into which writers pour a character. And they’ve got nothing rattling around in their empty skulls, and when they speak their own minds, this nothingness is manifestly obvious. So I credit them as good actors, people who can pretend to be someone they’re not, and I welcome them to amuse and entertain me, but I am long past valuing anything they say that hasn’t been written by someone else.

I pledge to vomit if I ever have to see that again!

I pledge to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and allegiance to the FLAG of the United States of America!

You cannot serve two masters. Obama is NOT my master. I thought slavery was over!!

I PLEDGE never to spend another dime in a movie theatre. Anything I feel worth seeing, I will rent from Hollywood video. I HOPE that I win the lottery so I can CHANGE from having to work 2 jobs.
To Bob Watkins who wants more community involvment: Is that as in ACORN? as in the 95% of the blacks who voted for the first time in their life simply because of Obama’s color ??? Or because of his promises to give them everything including self-esteem ?
I can only HOPE that now that they have self-esteem because a black man is President, they will magically bring themselves out of poverty, their black men will come out of the jails and get real jobs to support their families, their sociopath offspring will stop killing for $7.00, their child/baby mammas will stop going on Maury to find the fathers of their babies, and they will all get college degrees from Harvard and become doctors, lawyers, and senators.

I am applauding.

I am giving you a standing “0″.

One truth is greater than all lies.

Thank you, sir.

I pledge to file for divorce from the GOP unless and until they finally learn that the Democrats are NOT their “friends” or colleagues, but are rather their avowed enemies. It seems that Democrats KNOW this and Republicans never seem to learn it…no matter HOW many times Republicans hold out their hands in cooperation or comity, they wind up drawing back a bloody stump. To ANY Democrat, the term “bi-partisanship” means, “Do it OUR way, or take a hike!” That was the attitude they displayed even when they were in the minority in Congress and Republicans never seemed to “get it.”

Some of you need to rewatch Obama’s speech from this morning…

“The time has come,” he said pointedly, “to set aside childish things.”

I went through 8 years of a lack of leadership, appointees to positions that were unqualified, an administration of secrecy, and unfettered corruption, and you are trying to tell me that the ridicule this President received was not justified??? Wow! Even some dyed-in-the-wool Republicans are happy this administration is leaving for Texas and Wyoming.

These aren’t childish things, these are things that have adversely affected our country. I am not a “Hollywood Liberal,” and most of my liberal friends think I am too Republican in some of my beliefs, but to not see these last 8-years for what they really were is putting your head in the sand.

To look at the other-side meaning Republicans or Democrats as their “sworn enemies” is as childish as taking your ball and going home. Both sides need to put aside this petty squabbling based on party stances, and more about how to make something work for both sides. The founding fathers built this country on compromise, and we need to go back to these ideals.

Hey, Andy, can you let those on the other side know when George W. Bush will stop being America? I understand you don’t like people trying to better themselves based on inspiration from politicians, but you lose me when you equate hating Bush and hating America. I thought Bush was terrible for America, so I loathed him. But, I never loathed the country, in fact I hated him for the damage he did to the country. When are you guys gonna officially declare he’s not America any more and, as a follow-up, will that be when Sarah Palin announces her candidacy? Will she then become America. You 22%er’s can keep us updated, okay, ’cause we’re gonna be slightly busy cleaning up your mess.

Why not a pledge to not attend carbon emitting Hollywood parties and movie premieres? Why not a pledge to live in a smaller more energy efficient home rather than a large mansion? Why not a pledge to stop buying high fashion clothes that produce more waste in their manufacture and transport than the average clothing at a Walmart? Why not pledge to attend USO events during the height of the Iraq War when brave American soldiers were losing their lives on a daily basis? Why not pledge your time and money to the families of those brave soldiers who lost their lives while protecting your ability to live a superficial life devoid of meaning? Why not pledge your time and money to help those soldiers who have returned with injuries, both physical and mental? Are they not worthy of your time and money? You can make money off of movies that portray their bravery and sacrifice, but you cannot pledge yourself to them? You make movies that undermine their spirits and question their mission, but you cannot pledge to support their sacrifice and bravery?

Flowery little statements that match the depth found in a typical music video is all celebrities like those are good for these days. They are shadows of great men like Bob Hope.

The reality is that there are bad people in this world and we should be pledging ourselves to those that protect us from them. But, that would require a recognition of what the world is really like. It’s no wonder that so many in Hollywood are uncomfortable with reality, because in its light it becomes clear just how meaningless and pathetic their words are when contrasted to the actions of brave soldiers. I’ll choose to pledge my support for those who wear bronze stars on their chests rather than those who long to have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame.

Mr. Breitbart,

Let me get this straight…several prominent celebrities who, whether you admit it or not, have great influence on people in this country, especially America’s youth, have pledged to do what they can to help our country recover, complete with a website (that has millions of hits already) that offers links to various charities and community organizations, attempting to push people to volunteer/donate money…

…and you’re RIDICULING this?

How about make up for the time you wasted writing this blog entry and volunteer some time or money to a charity of your choosing? Like them or not, they are trying to bring GOOD to this country…you are simply bashing these celebrities for having an opinion and taking a stand on something they believe in.

For that, I ridicule YOU, for bashing those trying to bring positive attention to these charities in need…and I ask you this…

What are YOU doing for your country?

(Note: Writing sarcastic, arrogant blogs does not count)

Waaaa, waaaa, waaaaaa.

Just shut your pieholes already, wingnuts. You have been consigned to the dustbins of history, where you rightfully belong. But please, dont stop whining and bitching on account of me.

These people don’t seem to understand that they are a commodity – like a can of beans. We can buy their brand or somebody else’s – or just swear off beans and eliminate that pasky gas issue.

I find it interesting that nowhere in this opinion do you mention how Republicans questioned the Democrats’ patriotism when we disagreed with Bush. The bitter partisanship that occurred during the Bush years lay squarely at the feet of Bush and Cheney, and by extension, Republicans, who decided to rule rather than govern. It is Republicans who turn dirty when someone disagrees with them. It is Republicans who are the hypocrites.

[...] Andrew Breitbart explains that cult video better than I could, and knows the mentalities of those petty creeps better [...]

“I regret that I have but one pledge to give to my country. And I already pledged allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.” But I am still going to fulfill those other pledges.

Even if these libtards thought Bush was Lt. Cdr. Queeg, they should have taken to heart Lt. Barney Greenwald’s admonition to the Caine’s junior officers after he got them acquitted of mutiny:

Greenwald: Tell me, Steve, after the Yellowstain business, Queeg came to you guys for help and you turned him down, didn’t you?
Maryk: Yes, we did.
Greenwald: You didn’t approve of his conduct as an officer. He wasn’t worthy of your loyalty. So you turned on him. You ragged him. You made up songs about him. If you’d given Queeg the loyalty he needed, do you suppose the whole issue would have come up in the typhoon?

[...] an reaction, that can only described as a direct kick to the gonads of Hollywood; Andrew BreitBart lays the smack down to the Obama Bots and believe me, he does not mince words: Forgive and forget? [...]

Do you really believe all this bleating nonsense?

*Celebrities* made Bush’s life intolerable? I think Alec Baldwin and Barbara Streisand’s impact on the world of politics is pretty well nil. Do you have any idea that no…one…listens…to…celebrities, except maybe tween girls, and they can’t vote anyway. Talk about your straw man argument.

And are you still going on about Michael Moore? Even most liberals can’t stand him. I would pity you, except that you’re probably making money off this site, so maybe the joke’s on the readers.

Is Hollywood really your target now? People who make frivolous entertainment for popular consumption? Dear god, your “movement” is in serious trouble.

Grow up and join the world of adults. Conservatives have become such frightened little children. The rest of us are trying to decide whether to ignore you or try to talk some sense into you.

Doesn’t anyone stop to think that most celebrities have pitifully little actual education? Why in the world would I spend a minute listening to the typical Hollywood type – a large number of whom are high-school dropouts? I really don’t understand the whole celebrity-fascination-thing overall.

And by the way, weren’t they all living abroad anyway? I seem to remember a bunch of them pledging to leave the country if Bush was elected the first time. Do yourself a favor. Skip TV and Movies. Read a book.

Excellent, excellent essay on pop culture today.

It has always made me wonder these past 8 years ~ has Hollywood become so insular that they think they are are invincible ~ that the guns and missiles and atomic weaponry are not pointed at them? That their water supply is so filtered, and their air supply so purified as to nullify any biological warfare? I live 30 minutes from Hollywood ~ the air is no different here in the flat lands of the San Fernando Valley, and our water supply comes from the same source.

I am really well aware of the fact that there are some mean, nasty and scary folks out there that just hate us and want to see us, along with Israel, obliterated. I understood that fact long before 9/11. I learned it from traveling oversees! And these Hollywood types just don’t get it ~ which is surprising ~ they travel, too, after all.

So perhaps it is because they have the money ~ earned in a free market enterprise system, BTW ~ amassed personal fortunes from making movies that denigrate either the American soldier or just plain America or both ~ that affords them the luxury of a safe-room in their mansions.

Hollywood: Elitism at its finest ~ “well, they may hate America, but they don’t hate me” ~ or, arrogance at its worst ~ “well, too bad, so sad ~ they may shoot, but they won’t hurt me.” You take your pick.

Just not worth the cost of a ticket, a bag of popcorn and a soda, is it.

Well said Andrew. You are my hero.
Of course what you described here is more than just these Hollywood lunatics. The sad thing is that the majority of our media class from paper to screen are just as disgusting. I certainly will not forget that Haedball guy’s tingling feeling up his thigh when Obama speaks.

First, let me say that I love this site! There are so many conservatives in Hollywood – many fearful for their jobs. See, Democrats yell “McCarthyism” only when it erodes on their views. Thank you for this great web site!!!

Second, most Americans see these overpaid celebrities as beautiful/handsome but uneducated. With the exception of a the top tier, most of the so-called celebrities are overpaid nobodies who need descriptions after their name so we know who they are.

For example, “Today Mary Smith, the actress who was featured in the film-to-DVD ‘Gone With The Rejects’ where she played the role of a middle-aged woman addicted to Tums,” announced that she will be supporting the new president by planting trees in the front yard of her rental apartment. Smith went on to say that she has absolutely no idea where Barack Obama stands on ANY issues facing America but he’s black (well, uh really half-black) and that’s all she needs to know.

Come on folks – many in America are laughing when celebrities like Ashton Kutcher do these ridiculous things. Of course, we don’t have too much time for laughter as we go about our boring lives trying to earn a living and make enough money to pay our bills without being foreclosed.

While on the subject of Barack Hussein Obama, would someone PLEASE post one accomplishment this man has beyond being half black? ANYTHING!!! I will support our president because that’s what Americans should do but I think he has absolutely NO idea what we are up against with terrorism. It is my fear that there will be another 9/11-like attack to wake up the Obama Kool-Aid Drinking Americans who voted to make history with a half-black president.

With that logic, what will we do in 2012, go with a woman simply because she is female? Then a Mormom? Followed by a Jew? Followed by someoned disabled? Just to make history …

[...] by Andrew Breitbart  Many of the celebrities that were central to demonizing and making life impossible for President Bush for eight loathsome years NOW want to help with the heavy lifting of bringing America back together under President Barack Obama. Witness Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher’s cavalcade of shiny, happy situational patriots appearing in a derivative public servitude announcement: A “Presidential Pledge” to President Barack Obama. Click to continue [...]

How can you trust that these people will do what they pledge? Didn’t some of them pledge/vow to love/honor/cherish their partner at one time? At least some of those who “pledged” to move out of USA during Bush’s tenure (and didn’t do as they said) did not appear in this video. What a bunch of losers!

I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, the nation that I chose to be a citizen of when I was naturalized.

Bush took hard decisions that he knew he’d be slammed over. He sucked it up and did it anyway. He didn’t ask for 9-11 to land on his watch, but it did and he kept another one from occurring. The Obamabots…well, they want to bring the corrupt stench of Chicago politics to the entire nation. They will, too, for at least a while. When their racist, criminal, empty suit shows his incompetence and venality for the fiftieth or hundredth time, some of them will begin to get a clue about what a stupid choice they made. Some of them, the smarter of the group, will have an epiphany about their cluelessness and will regret voting for Bama the rest of their lives. The young ones will have an excuse. For the older ones…well, they’ll just have to face the fact they got suckered big time by a two-bit charlatan.

Enjoy today, leftie suckers. It’s been all downhill for your boy since the election and the descent just got a lot steeper since he can’t vote “Present” anymore. I’m going to sit back overseas, keeping my money safely away from Obama’s greedy paws, and watch you folks try to explain the unexplainable and defend the indefensible. I’m going to have a good time watch you squirm for the next four years.

NOW ‘they’ want to be part of ‘us’? NOW they remember what country they live in? I wonder what percentage of people in ‘fly-over country’ know or care who these clowns are. I’m guessing the percentage is low enough to make an agent reach for his Zanax. After eight years of looking down their noses at people like me, telling us at every opportunity how stupid we were for supporting the President, now they want to go all BFF on us? F that.

We’ll see how long all this new ‘unity’ lasts when the illiterati, who can pay Obama’s confiscatory taxes out of petty cash, have to face what his policies will do to the rest of us (how can you make a living in the ‘entertainment’ industry when your audience can’t afford tickets?). But I guess we’ve ‘all’ got to sacrifice. Brush up on your Orwell, folks. The politician’s definition of words like ‘all’ and ‘equal’ is spelled out in ‘Animal Farm’, while the consequences of blind trust are spelled out in ‘1984′.

Remember all the gilded jacktards who were going to go to Canada four and eight years ago? Gee, I wonder why that didn’t happen. Maybe because they didn’t want to wait six months to see a doctor. Or it is too cold up there. (Yes, Algore, cold.) Or perhaps there aren’t enough mindless drones who care what these parasites do — that’s probably reason number one.

Now they want to shill for the fedgovs. Right. They are fair-weather ‘friends’ of the most odious sort, and their ‘loyalty’ is worth zero. If their new hero has any smarts at all, he will recognize that and tell his ’servants’ to go peddle their papers. Not that I expect that to happen…

If Barry can get us through the next four years without another attack on the Homeland, I’ll pledge to say something nice about him (though the genuine appreciation properly belongs to those doing the actual work). Until then, nothing doing. He’s the new kid in town, and he’s got some mighty big shoes to fill. His cheering section should go find real jobs — if there are any to be had by the time the Socialists get through with us.

President Bush did things that he knew to be both necessary and unpopular. Moreover, he resisted the urge to tell what he knew at every turn, even though that might have mitigated some of the criticism, because he knew that so doing would give valuable intel to the enemy. Whereas, among the many things Bush’s predecessor was unable to resist was the opportunity to make himself look good by ‘explaining’ (read, ‘telegraphing’) every move. Bin Laden got a free intelligence briefing every time Clinton opened his face in the presence of microphones. President Bush kept secrets that helped the country at cost to himself — that is character. As I said, the kid has some mighty big shoes to fill.

[...] I wholeheartedly agree with Andrew Breitbart:  Good luck, President Obama.  The rest of you can go to hell. [...]

A virtual meeting place where hack, b-list actors can exchange ideas with retarded and marginalized common folk!! Thank you Big Hollywood; our nation has been crying out for such a forum for far too long!!

A long time ago another bunch of nutballs took ann oath similar to this to another charismatic leader:
“Before God I swear absolute obedience to Barack Hussein Obama, Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces and to the superiors appointed by him. I swear to you, Barack Hussein Obama, American leader and Remaker of the world, to be loyal and brave. I swear to obey you and the leaders you have placed over me until death. So help me God.”

The real funny thing about Moore “free[ing] one million people from slavery in the next five years…” is how in a rational manner does she propose this is done.

We just spent billions of dollars and over 4000 American lives freeing people from a cruel dictator. As I recall Moore was not on board with this monumental effort.

Where in the world is she going to find the one million slaves to set free. How will she go about removing the slaveholders – will this be done by force? Or will she personally purchase all the slaves and them set them free. If she purchases them and then sets them free will she guarantee that their new found freedom doesn’t lead them into a worse freedom filled with intense poverty. Will she personally finance an economic recovery in the country where the slaves live? Does she recommend nation building???

Like any platitude stated by the left, her absurd statement falls on its face when a rational inquiry is made to examine it in terms of policy decisions.

Andy you rock. My 4 year old screamed last night she hated Obama. My wife pressed why. My daughter responded because we didn’t vote for him. Our guy didn’t win. We told her that he is our President and we will support him. We don’t act that way just because our guy lost. We are grown ups. We are Republicans. She has an excuse. She is 4.

Excellent op-ed. As Laura Ingram would say, “Shut up and sing (or act!)”

oh and another thing…

to the “ToSheila” imbecile:

-first, read about Silvio Berlusconi;
-next, ask why he uses the term “imbecile”; and
-then ask why we should care about Bin Laden, when the Bush Admin and other US organizations (NSA, CIA, NAVY SEALS) have decimated Al Queso’s org chart over the past 8 years.

Sure much work to do. But we’ve decimated the Org chart. And prevented known attacks.

Holy crap! That was the most NAZI thing ever….

Jim Kanichirayil – January 19th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
The irony of this entire “infomercial” is that it is elevating things people should already be doing to the level of something that is extraordinary. Those of us with strong principles, religious or otherwise, have been doing these things without the benefit of some phony recognition. We never needed a call to action from a president or some Hollywood celebrity.
——————–
Jim hit the nail on the head. Why is it celebs are now calling for us to act in these pledges of servanthood. Why weren’t they already doing this for the last 8 years under Bush, how about the 8 years of Slick Willie’s reign? Many of us regular Americans (those living in states between the Coasts) have been silently doing our part for most of our lives, knowing that this is what a citizen does. What do they want now?

Who/where are these slaves? Well, I guess I am enslaved to the Federal Government by their oppressive taxation. I don’t suppose I’m the slave they’re referring to here.

Clearly, Demi and crew, do not understand how American government works. *WE* are not servants to the President or anyone else in political office. *THEY* are servants to us. (This would be the reason they are called public servants)

It is up to our elected officials to govern and put into place laws that reflect what *we the people* want.

Hollyweird idiots can make all the stinking pledges they like. Apparently, they lack the initiative to actually put forth any effort into making worthwhile movies, so they have more than ample time to embrace their cause du jour and go have their lips plumped.

I think the biggest challenge for those of us who are conservatives is to try and understand the liberal mindset. Why is that such a challenge? Because as conservatives we’ve all moved on from high school, they haven’t.

Think about who these people are, and the effect that has had on their attitude toward life. When your talking actors and actresses, for the most part these are the “beautiful people”, the ones who have always had the good looks, that little extra bit of charm, that “it” factor, whatever it might be that gets them noticed.

They were the “in-crowd” in high school, adoring the adulation of their peers not so much for any sort of accomplishment, but rather just by the sake of their very existance. And if there is one thing you do not do as part of the “in-crowd” it’s to take any sort of unpopular stand or voice any sort of opposition to the group-think of the crowd. That sort of thing gets you ostracized real quick, and believe me that is something most in-crowders simply cannot survive.

So it’s small wonder when they do get to Hollywood and finally get “noticed” by the “right people” that they go with what they are most familiar with. You see, liberalism, despite the fact that it is utterly devoid of ideas, sounds good.

It sounds so “compassionate” to “care” about the underdog, the downtrodden, the folks that supposedly have no voice or no say or no options. The problem is that liberal ideas don’t really help these people, if anything they just make things worse for them, but liberals are the folks who have never understood that sometimes the best way to help people is to get them to help themsleves.

So when these folks get to Hollywood and they get into that society where image is everything and substance is nothing, it’s small wonder that they do what they’ve always done and simply go along with the rest of the group.

Eventually that liberalism becomes ingrained, and once that happens you can throw reason, common sense, logic and facts right out the window. It becomes a knee-jerk, reactionary, “If you don’t think like I do your evil” type of philosphy. So much of their own self worth is tied up into their politics that they have to constantly attack and denigrate the non-believer. Any voice of dissent they hear is to their mind saying, “You are not a good person.”

It’s a lot easier to be a liberal than it is a conservative, and a lot less time consuming. To be a liberal, you show up, get the pamplhet, mouth the right sentiments and your done. You don’t have to know what your talking about, have checked your facts, or do any leg work yourself. If you praise/defend the people on the “good” list regardless of their actions and denigrate the people on the “bad” list, again regardless of their actions, shebang, your a liberal. You can be considered a “great” liberal simply by espousing the right nonsense and “showing up.” No actual accomplishment required.

To be a conservative though, takes a lot of work. You have to actually research things, think about not just how stuff sounds but how it actually works in practical application. You have to be able to listen to logical arguments and logical objections and if someone can prove that you are wrong on a certain point, you have to acknowledge that and adjust your thinking accordingly. To a conservative it’s all about how things work, it’s a philosphy that requires constant effort, constant re-examination, and a constant search for a better way to achieve your desired goal.

Not the sort of mindset you tend to find in most of the folks that flock to Hollywood. Again, there are some fantastic exceptions to this, as noted by the very existence of this website, but that is perhaps why they are the exception in Hollywood, as opposed to the rule.

Keep up the great work guys, love the site

I pledge to tell my children what the “celebs” were saying when our country was protected by President Bush!
I pledge to tell my children what the media was reporting and not reporting while our country was protected by President Bush. I pledge to tell my children about the armed forces that served and the ones that gave their life to protect our country. I pledge to thank every military member, including retired, for serving our country. I pledge to continue to tell my children to help their neighbor and be a good citizen of this country. I pledge to continue to share the love of Jesus Christ with my children. I pledge to tell my children that fantasy on the television and the big screen is not real life. I pledge to tell my children that harsh actions against this country require harsh reactions. pledge to tell my children to follow the advice and example of family and to have good moral judgement. I pledge to tell my children that not all actors have the interest of serving the country but to serve themselves. I pledge to continue to watch every move of this new administration to see what “change” will be made for the better of the country.
I pledge to ask everyone where the HELL were the “Stars” when a Republican was in the White House.
Most of America pledges and already do good works for family, friends, neighbors, community, and country.
They wisely do and do it quietly and not because an over paid, democratic actor tells them too!
NOW, ARE YOU KIDDING?

“I admit I couldn’t watch the video, I just ate.” sums it up for me…

“I pledge to cut loose my Sarah Palin effigy hanging by a noose from the roof of my house.”

Isn’t the point of the video really to finally take responsibility for what the world has become and change ourselves? “To make the world a better place.”

I pledge to not have an original thought in my life, and to spend all your money because I have plenty myself and can’t be bothered to give any of it.

I’m sure they all had a script in front of them. Not a one of them can think on their own. I’m so tired of these self-important idiots making blanket statements that don’t mean a thing.

[...] I’m tempted to warn Big Hollywood contributors not to let the media catch them saying something this if the GOP makes a comeback in 2012, as they’ll never hear the end of it, but how likely is it that they’d feel this way in the first place? Exit quotation: “We’re all Americans — NOW.” [...]

Spot on as usual Mr. Breitbart. Now, for all of you posting and reading the TRUTH on this site: Make Hollywood PAY!!!!!!!!! Stop going to the movies these celebutards (thank you to the person who coined that earlier) make! I have no urge to go see Clooney, Hanks (really disappointed in that one), Matt douchebag Damon, etc… Ignore them, we’re more than half of America! We are because there are more conservatives than actual liberals. The people in the middle, the idiots of our country are the ones that voted Obama in (you know, the ones that made poll numbers change daily?). So, to the blatant lefties, f…off! Barbara Streisand, Oprah, the dumb 3 of 4 on the view (Mrs Hasselback is awesome!). WE, the majority, must make this happen. Hit their wallets, that is all they really care about while they sit in their carbon-unfriendly mansions, yachts, or Italian vacation villas. We can make them pay! Please join me in saving the greatest country on earth…because it won’t be so great if the enemies have their way (yes, enemies to the culture that made this country the BEST over the last 200+ years). Sorry this post is so long…I was on a ROLL (or rant) of real patriotism, saving the values our Founding Fathers envisioned.

Really, guys? Do any of you realize that we didn’t have to go to war and that this republican regime that has broken and demolished our rights as American citizens, changed the Constitution for the most advantageous gains for the executive branch since Andrew Jackson, cheated the public out of the truth–lied to cover their tracks, and than in the end secretively passed a bill to retroactively pardon themselves from war crimes (Did anyone remember the Geneva Convention? Anyone?) Afghanistan, yes. Why haven’t we heard of anything from Afghanistan in six years? Ok, so the media is corrupt. But that’s a legitimate war. Oh wait! We gave them weapons and resolve twenty years ago! Now they’re against us! Now the Bush family repeats history in Iraq, just because of daddy Bush’s personal vandetta. Why will this war be killing our children for another fifty years? Why can the government defy any rights of privacy we ever had? Patriot Act?

Benjamin Franklin said, “Anyone who will give up a little liberty to gain a little freedom deserves neither and will lose both.”

I’m not a democrat, but I’m sick of being lied to, and I’m sick of losing my liberty. Honestly, people.

I just would like to say that George Busch had a fair chance at change and chose to continue with his war path and demanding victory! Victory is by not having our country re-invaded by terrorists, by continuing to up our national security risk level and check and arrest those who don’t comply and wish to pretend they don’t understand. Victory is freedom of speech, freedom to vote and freedom to express our opinions! None of the banks or car industries should be bailed out from the government, they should have to problem solve and immediately. Their overzealous pay and gratuities got them in this jam, they should have to bail themselves out. The Credit card companies along with the banks and credit unions have caused the major foreclosures to the naive Americans who laid trust in their interest rate loans, without knowing they needed a magnifying glass to read the deceit which diminished so many American’s credit and dreams. If the banks and credit loan officers would get on board with the economy and lower their bank notes by refinancing at a respectable rate and only loan to those credit worthy according to the people’s worth and not their assets, I believe they could’ve come through for all of America without this disastrous recession/on the brink of depression for all. Now, they want to only provide credit to those with outstanding credibility. (A little late, I would say.) The accountants, brokers, government, assessors, and economists all new this was coming. They chose to not spread the truth, for fear of a panic stricken America, whom might decide to close their retirement accounts, cash their stock market funds and live in a real world vs. what message they continued to give the public. (Lies-False hope/half-truths/lies by omission!) So, we all are paying now and will for years to come. I believe it’s not too late to take drastic measures of change and hold the main players accountable without costing all of Americans to pay for generations to come. Change, yes we need, but as I said before, change has been needed for years. We didn’t go broke overnight. The scandals that have erupted in the past few years has contributed to this harsh blow to our economy and those are the one’s who should pay and pay deeply, for their lies, violations of trust, lies of morals and values and judgment to all. So many of these large companies took advantage of the meek to earn their dollar for the minutes and days that they could, knowing in their minds so many people’s pocket books would be drained, their self worth humiliated, their enriched lives turned to bleakness and powerless. One change that needs attention to is the American dream of self worth in one’s job. That if you are a good and dedicated employee you will have your job for life, not stripped away from under you because someone younger, better-looking and has more education than the skilled worker who has given their life to live to retire in a realistic and a true retirement wage that they can live on. Our fathers’ and so on down have paid in to the government to protect us and what did the government do with that income? Borrow, borrow and borrowed until they can’t pay out for us who have paid in our entire lives. The government pays the American Indians to this day for taking their land away. How long should this go on? The government pays taxes, food stamps, health insurance and an income for immigrants. What about ceasing those funds, to give back to the working class families who have paid in to the government their entire lives? What about how we have to wait longer to retire, just because we are living longer. Doesn’t this have to do with living healthier life styles? Why should healthy Americans be punished instead of being able to retire and enjoy some final healthy years? These are just a few of my opinions. I would be glad to hear any and all responses for and against what I have stated.
Sincerely,
Proud to be an American and Proud of all of our Military!

I completely agree and I absolutely believe the reason we were so-called hated around the world, was because of these nitwits constantly spewing lies about our their country and our president. There are also their counterparts in Washington, Murtha, Kennedy, Durbin, Pelosi, Frank, etc. etc. etc. who I think are traitors plain and simple. They spewed their lies while our sons and daughters were in harms way,,unconscienable.

If this wasn't so scary it would be considered comedy at it's height. Never before have I seen anything like this love affair with Socialistic principles; it's like Paris Hilton woke up one day and told Hollywood, "Hey… Communism is hot!" and overnight Hollywood was scrambling to be good comrades with their new Saks 5th Avenue Commie gear (have you all seen that mess of commericalized crap yet?) Hollywood and the media are in love with themselves, hell bent on taking this country down the wrong path. And do you think any one of those self-centered asshats would help you change a tire if you needed help? Hell no. Stop listening to these air heads like Kutcher, who's had about as much life-experience as my gold fish. Have we really gotten this spoiled to forget what our grandparents and ancesters had to go through to be free? How many thousands died in the Revolution, the Civil War, WW I and II only to have it pissed away by the likes of Cameron Diaz? Benjamin Franklin would slap that silly smile off her face if he was alive today.

Heck, I'll kiss my own ass if these idiots can manage an intelligent, independent thought of their own.
