Oh, Thank God, We Are Back! – (or: My Dog Goldwater)
by Ernie MannixHey, did you hear what the illustrious liberal votin’, swifty boatin,’ ketchup totin’, and just maybe (allegedly) Botox coatin’ John Kerry had to say recently? He let all of us Americans know that once Hillary ascends to the Secretary of State position it would send a strong signal throughout the world that “America is back!”
Hey, hey, Johnny, do you mean the America you tried to usher in in ‘04 is back? The wag the dog, pad with hog, class division with socialism type of America? That one? The war by polls, flag with holes type of America? The ‘blame us first, because we’re the worst’ type of America? The “I’m too cool to rhyme you with dweeb” America?
You know what, Johnny? You’re wrong. We on the right, never left. You on the left, were never right. Get it? Johnny, we are back. A byproduct of a resounding defeat has a way of reinvigorating the vanquished, so we are back. The sons of Abraham Lincoln. The followers of Ronald Reagan. The ones who still own record players. The ones who cherish equality, freedom and truly know how to protect it. We are back, Johnny.
To prove that, I will be showing you and every other person that was fooled in this last election my little protest sign. It’s 4” X 8” and sits on my rear.
That’s right Johnny, my McCAIN/ PALIN bumper sticker is still on my car, at least through the inauguration. After that I will become what John Wayne promised to Jimmy Carter; part of the loyal opposition. (Unlike the lack of lexical civility rabidly hurled at President Bush, there will be no horrible “Ouck F’bama” bumpers stickers for me.)
I used to pity the sore losers that left your KERRY/EDWARDS bumper stickers on their cars. (Some still have them on, as well as their GORE/ LIEBERMAN ones.) But to prove I’m not a sore loser, I will admit here that the man that I pulled the lever for was part of a grossly outmaneuvered and quite possibly mismanaged political effort - and loudly admit we were beat fair and square. Two days after the inauguration, my hand to God, the bumper sticker is gone. Okay, maybe three.
So please don’t mistake my car for the vehicle of an angry sourpuss who is holding his breath and kicking his dog in bitter defeat! Hell no, I don’t have a dog. However, if I did, he’d be named “Goldwater,” and we’d both be celebrating our return. Goldwater would come along for the ride sitting in the front passenger seat – head out the window, tongue wagging and navigating me around LAX just in time for the celebs returning from the inauguration to see my big carbon-foot-printing rear end.
(That is unless they are all in their private Jets arriving at Van Nuys Airport. Are those Jet’s Hybrids?)

The only bumpersticker on my car is a "Ban Bumperstickers" bumpersticker.
Hello? Did someone forget to let the bot out?

Fist shaking and bluster won’t bring anyone back. Until the GOP returns
to fundamentals – getting government off our backs and out of our wallets – they’re just “Democrat lite”.
Ernie………..I love you! I love that as a Republican we can speak the truth. That we are not little numbminded, brainwashed libs who don’t dare speak what they really feel.
Hope to read much more of your stuff.
I thought this site was going to feature posts by actual Hollywood players? So far, I’ve seen nothing but failed American Idol-level nobodies from the fringes. Sort of like reading the rantings of some dude in the Paramount mailroom…
Hi,
I’m just getting started with my new blog. Would you want to exchange links on our blog-rolls?
BTW – I’m up to about 100 visitors per day.
Hi. I read a few of your other posts and wanted to know if you would be interested in exchanging blogroll links?
Charlie, if it’s not your car, it’s none of your business.
Got it?
I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you down the road!
That’s why I tend to avoid campaign-specific bumper stickers altogether. Whether you win or lose, they’re a pain to scrape off afterwards. So I have opted instead for a generic conservative bumper sticker instead:
REPUBLICAN WOMEN
MAKE GREAT LEADERS
YOU’RE FOLLOWING ONE
Lisa,
Thank you for reading. Yours is the starstruck mindset that we are here to shake up and wake up, and by your retort I can tell it worked. I hope you don’t feel less important than your ‘players’, it’s not healthy, I certainly don’t. I hope you are on the beginning of a new journey. Best to you.
Can’t say I’ve ever met anyone who really liked McCain and wanted him as a candidate. And I did a lot of campaigning. The Ron Paul supporters, however, actually liked him as a candidate. He wasn’t just as slightly less repulsive alternative. And his support came from both conservatives AND traditional Democrat voters. So, if you phony righties really wanted to win, as opposed to fight endless, pointless wars for Israel and trans-national corporations, you would have come on board. Instead you lost the whole thing.
Oh, and Ron Paul worked with Reagan.
McCain worked with Ted Kennedy.

The parties are a shell game. No one allowed to make important decisions are going to be conservative. If anything, they hold conservatives in contempt. Look at Bush working with Kennedy for Amnesty. You better wake up, indeed. You better take the party back in ‘10 or you will lose again in ‘12.
If a candidate is willing to talk to AIPAC but not Hamas, they aren’t looking out for America – they are working for AIPAC.
Excellent post. I always enjoy to hear what you have to say. I hope this site and all the enthusiasm is still around in three years.
Ernie,
Thank you again for pointing out just what makes the right so much different than the left.
I did not vote for Obama, but he is now my President. I can honestly say that I hope that
he is successful with his goals for this country. I will not hope that he fails, because that will
also mean that my country has failed. I do not believe that many on the left felt the same
way about President Bush.
Keep writing Mr. Mannix
Yeah… because obviously the path the Republican party needs to take is the one summed up by the McCain/Palin campaign. That’s how we’ll beat those darn libs! Sarah Palin in 2012!!!
The Republican party is just SO MESSED UP. Period. Ronald Reagan? Reagan’s ideals left the party about midway through his presidency. Since then, the party has been “we’re in favor of big government as long as we’re in charge.” I mean, have you honestly listened to folks like Bill Kristol and Newt Gingrich lately? And these are what people consider the pillars of conservatism?
Here’s a news-flash: AMERICANS DON’T WANT BIG GOVERNMENT. They don’t especially like the Democratic form of it, but they certainly don’t like the kind that comes from the Right nowadays. And that’s precisely why the Dems are now in power.
Want to know what will win elections? What will make this country strong again? What would make our nation live up to the vision of our Founders? LIMITED GOVERNMENT–AT HOME AND ABROAD. It’s a simple concept, one espoused by simple men like Washington, Jefferson, and Adams.
Our Constitution demands nothing more and nothing less, but as long as Republicans keep acting like the party of “not quite as big and intrusive government,” it will keep getting its collective butt kicked.

“Starstruck mindset?”
The site is called “Big Hollywood”, and states as its mission the point of view of a “conservative” Hollywood viewpoint.
We didn’t expect the rants of script runners and PAs; we expected the writings of actual people who have real voices in Hollywood.
Enjoy your “journey:” Hope you get a gig.
Here’s a bumper sticker I want, in the wake of this election:
CONSERVATISM IS NOT DEAD –
IT’S JUST STARTING TO SMELL FUNNY
After mocking President Bush and John McCain about Osama Bin Laden during his campaign, Mr. Obama made threats to find Osama Bin Laden “and kill him.” The other day he changed his mind. I guess it just wasn’t important any more.
As my Social Studies teacher once said “A [party] platform is what you use to get on the train — you don’t ride it all the way into the station.”
The same goes for BS campaign promises.
Don’t worry Ernie, those of us that actually read the content of the articles and comment on them are enjoying them. I never have understood people that don’t even read the articles yet post stupid comments like “failed American Idol-level nobodies from the fringes.” As for me, I just keep Old Glory on there. I figure they know how I vote because I don’t turn it upside down.
Ironrose:
What are you talking about? “The other day he changed his mind.”
Huh?
Righties sure hear what they want to hear.
RYUKYU:
Oh, I read the content of the “articles” (they’re “posts”, not articles). My point–since you suffer from reading comprehension aversion–is that “Ernie Mannix” is a Hollywood nobody, as are most of the alleged “Big Hollywood” contributors on this site.
Your “old Glory” reference is a jingoistic, childish dodge that is neither here nor there.
The only thing flying upside down here is you.
Ernie, I just told a colleague that you were my favorite contributed on BH. Now some dork has to slam you because you aren’t Ben Affleck or Brad Pitt. Like what they have to say is somehow more important or more credible than what you have to say. That is one of the attitudes that got rock star Obama elected.
Guitar Steve:
I’m sure you and your colleague will get over it.
I’m not sure what Ben Affleck or Brad Pitt have to do with this, but I do know the fringe-right’s shorts get bunched up by those two.
And for a guy that calls himself “Guitar Steve”, you may want to come up with a new, less-clichéd “attack” than calling President Obama a “rock star.”
Yawn…..
Lisa your not even a Big Hollywood nobody, your just a Big nobody. I’m to listen to you. What I see is you just name calling and that always wins the debate, NOT!
Joe, I’m not the person ASKING you to listen to me. That would be these Hollywood Unknowns that sheep like you listen to without even knowing who the hell they are.
You know, sort of like the Sarah Palin Effect.
I too avoid the candidate bumper stickers. Everyone is so eager to display their idol worship with bumber stickers of some power hungry duo that really doesn’t care about you.
And speaking of idol worship Lisa, that seems to be what Guitar Steve is talking about when he brings up Affleck and Pitt. I’ll at least give Pitt some credit: his efforts in New Orleans have resulted in more new homes built than the cumbersome government program that makes people cut through miles of red tape. Affleck is just an overrated actor, but so are most actors that pander to the left.
“…just an overrated actor, but so are most actors that pander to the left.”
As opposed to those Academy-Award winners Chuck Norris and Stephen Baldwin (or the, um,”actors” posting on “Big Hollywood”), huh?
Lisa
It sure looks like you want to be heard from all your blog’s. Lisa I feel sorry for you! You are full of hate and a sheep that is doing the following. What are you going to do when there is nothing left to hate. Oh, then you can hate yourself. That one should be easy!
“Your “old Glory” reference is a jingoistic, childish dodge that is neither here nor there.”
Lisa, stop making my points for me. Seriously, you’re like a caricature.
Darthrove:
So you never took a debate class, huh?
Placing a bumpersticker on your own private property–a car–is a private act, hence, none of your business. The non-sequiter “examples” you cite revolve around public circumstances.
Sorry; you flunked Debate 101, AND Elementary Common Sense.
Got it?
Thomas Jackosn:
Take a writing class. Unless, of course, you are auditioning for the role of Don King.
Lisa you must be a child, because you are always talking about the classes you have taken (or the classes someone has not taken). They don’t make you an expert in life! LIFE makes you an expert in LIFE! You are not as smart as you think you are, and you are not as Dumb as you and I think you are. Live life and not fight it!
Lisa:
Driving a car in PUBLIC where Charles and any other member of the PUBLIC can see it is a PUBLIC act.
My point was that you seem to think that if you got no skin in the game, you have to shut up about it. Hence the reference to situations in which you were highly unlikely to be directly involved and yet still hold valid opinions about, in an attempt to point out the “chickenhawk” fallacy: “If you are not personally involved in X, your opinion about something-directly-related-to-X is invalid.”
Somebody put an old sticker on a new car (and drove it on a PUBLIC road), and Charles formed and expressed an opinion about it. Rather than objecting to Charles’ opinion, you objected to the fact the he expressed one AT ALL. That was my issue with your comment.
Clearer now?
Darthrove:
Charlie made the ridiculous “deface” comment about how a bumpersticker on someone else’s private property was “childishly bitter.” My return comment was directed at Charlie, and it amounted to “live and let live.”
I’m sure that Charlie can speak for himself.
Clearer now?
