My wife — the smartest, wisest person I know — has a saying: “Since nothing will make you happy, I’m done trying.” Her point, and it’s a good one, is that there’s no reason to try and satisfy those who refuse to be, those who are more interested in complaining than anything else. This is something I’ve always tried to avoid when it comes to what I have to say about Hollywood. Yes, we most certainly are engaged in a political and cultural war with the entertainment industry — a war they started — but ”Hollywood” isn’t a single person or thing or studio. Like the terms “Big Business” and “Big Labor,” “Hollywood” is a kind of shorthand both sides use to identify a political adversary. 

But there is a nuance to Hollywood that can be found among the many right-of-center types and reasonable liberals who really do want to do the best work they can and make a butt-load of money in the process. And it’s for their sake (and ours) that we have acknowledge and appreciate when Hollywood does right by us. We simply have to prove to those watching and wondering that it is profitable to satisfy our complaints — that’ we’re not going to move the goalposts.

Thus far, right-of-center America has done an absolutely marvelous job in this respect. While anti-American junk has flopped at a forever-pleasing 100% rate, well-made films that speak to our values and beliefs have been almost universally embraced. “300,” “Gran Torino,” “Taken,” “The Dark Knight,” Fireproof,” “Blind Side,” “Battle: Los Angeles,” and “The Book of Eli,” have not only done well at the box office, but in some cases much, much better than expected because word spread throughout Middle America that this one’s for us. With social media, especially the miracle that is Twitter, a fire can start that completely circumvents the corrupt MSM and has an immediate effect at the box office.

From homeless to cause celebre, things are happening fast for the Central Florida singer-songwriter ever since he debuted his now famous “The American Tea Party Anthem” at Orlando’s Tea Party three weeks ago. 

Self-described Black American Conservative Lloyd Marcus was feted last Friday night before the Santa Barbara Tea Party by famed songwriter Tom Snow at Snow’s fabulous Montecito mansion overlooking the valley and Pacific Ocean beyond.

In less than a month, Lloyd Marcus has appeared on Fox News’ America’s Newsroom with Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly, an Orlando Fox TV program, The Bcast with Liz Stephan and Scott Baker on Breitbart.TV, and too many radio shows to mention. 

Pajamas Media TV has discovered him and brought him on board to be the face of PJTV’s American Tea Party project. (more…)
