The Stout Republican

Time to Change my Vote!!

Lindsay Lohan:

I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin.

I couldn’t be more supportive of a woman in office, but let’s face it, it comes down to the person, and their beliefs, male or female.

…

Lindsay- “I have faith that this country will be all that it can be with the proper guidance. I really hope that all of you make your decisions based on the facts and what feels right to you in your heart-vote for obama!”

Samantha- “I love this country- however i wasn’t born here and don’t have the right to vote- so i beg of you all to really do your research and be educated when you cast your vote this coming november…. and if you’re in doubt- vote for obama! Mainly because if she gets elected my green card probably won’t get renewed!!!”

Samantha…how would you not get your green card if she’s elected…I mean, really…think that one out.

My favorite thing in the world right now, is that every time another one of the A-Listers knock Palin (please note, it’s not usually support for Obama as much as anti-Repub) McCains numbers go up.

So, in the last week, Republicans have fared well…

Pink
Pamela Anderson
Rosanne
Matt Damon
And now…Lohan…

Keep up the good work!

Hollywood, Palin

Imagine having to pick your nose at a Baseball game, and knowing the moment you do is when the camera points at you saying, “And here’s blah blah, watching his beloved Angels…”

Being scared to pick your nose isn’t fun.

Hollywood celebrity, nose, pick

Of and for the people:

The Venezuelan president, Hugo Chávez, today threatened to strip the country’s industrialists of their assets if they continued to oppose his indefinite presidency.

It’s a shame that for with all the bitching and moaning we hear from our favorite Hollywood elites about Domestic issues…they always fall silent when real tyranny happens. Could you imagine the outrage and handwringing if George Bush were to announce he wanted an indefinite Presidency (in the name of the Revoluntion of course) and threatened to steal the assets of anyone who might challenge such an action?

I suppose it’s okay if you say that you do it for the poor though…if you wave that flag, all things are allowed. Ignore the fact that the poor in Venezuela are the result of the very government that purports to represent them. I see Chavez as the Joker in the Original Batman Movie…just waving his dollars, getting the proletariate to love him, and then gassing the dissidents, all while Price plays in the background.

The great thing about Dictators, is if you can promise something for nothing, people will support you…most people want something for nothing, especially if they have nothing to offer.

I’m a believer in Free Market Capitalism…Objectivist style. It’s bothersome to not only see a nanny state in action (thank you Hillary), but to see people ignore what the logical conclusion of that nanny state is (read Venezuela)…it usually ends in poverty, bloodshed, revolution, reform, forgetting the lessons of the past, rinse, and repeat. I love to hear people who have no real concept of history complain that we never learn the lessons it teaches. Once someone starts telling you, they know what’s better for you than you do, then there a real problem. If we can’t tolerate it from strangers…why do we tolerate it from our government?

How is it that what Hollywood is so vocal about the state of the US of A, and then they give a free pass to portly pseudo-intellectuals…as long as they call Bush “el Diablo“? Yes, I get it Mr. Penn, he probably had some fantastic blow, and inundated you with Hookers…but that doesn’t mean he’s a good guy.

So…De Palma and Robbins (go figure) are slandering the troops. There have been atrocities in war…people are fallible, but to apply that to an entire military action is just reckless. But, De Palma does it anyways in his new movie…

The movie is an attempt to bring the reality of what is happening in Iraq to the American people,” he told reporters after a press screening.

“The pictures are what will stop the war. One only hopes that these images will get the public incensed enough to motivate their Congressmen to vote against this war,” he said.

It’s frustrating…exposure to stupid people. I wonder how Hollywood would feel if because of the actions a few people, I was to say, “All Hollywood actors are drug addicted wife beaters.“

I was going to try to ignore the whole Michael Richards fiasco, but after reading about his planned meeting with Gloria Alred and her clients, I had no more blind eyes to turn.

It all really just comes down to money.  Oh, and the media attention doesn’t hurt the media whores Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Gloria Alred either.  The minute a race card is pulled these three muskateers come a runnin’ to the rescue. 

I am not condoning what Richards did.  I honestly was shocked by what he said, and it was deeply offensive.  I understand that.  However, if I sued every person who offended me based on my race, religion or sex, I’d be as recognizable as Sharpton….and Practical Radical would be broke.

It’s out there on the internet…it is findable…the “Junk de la Britney.”

I guess the question is…who cares? Let me rephrase that: Who cares other than hormonally driven adolescent (ha…all) young men? Maybe it’s social thing that we as Americans have. We have to see successful people naked…as if it knocks them down a few pegs…haha…your dirty bits are just as funky looking as mine.

Now I’m not one of those people who think that nudity inherently is shameful…and I’m also not one of those people who thinks that her kids should be taken away because she neglects to, or decides to, not wear underwear. I’ve done it before…though I don’t enjoy the resulting draft…temperature changes upset the fellas. It’s especially amusing to me when you have other Hollywood types coming out and judging her capacity as a human being based on her apparent inability to enter or exit a cab gracefully. Editorials to the rescue!! Who are we to say if she’s a bad mom? This blunder wasn’t exactly Clintonesque…and even then people hesitated to call him a bad husband…more…”misunderstood”…I mean the pressure of being President must be so great and I suppose it’s okay…yada yada yada.

The internet has probably seen more activity over these pictures in the last new days then they did with the 2000 election kerfuffle. I guess the fun part about holding people to higher standards is the glee that we as observers get when the falter and fall…

Now, if she decides to do a Penthouse spread, then we can truly discuss things like moral decline of pop stars and their influence on kids…along with my professional critiques of the photos…professional. It would really bring me no joy.

Ok, so I couldn’t pass up Scarlett Johansson’s most recent rant about Bush’s conservative views…specifically his views on sex.  Apparently, Scarlett is “so “socially aware” she gets tested for HIV twice a year.”  Classy. 

Johansson says, “We are supposed to be liberated in America but if our President had his way, we wouldn’t be educated about sex at all. “Every woman would have six children and we wouldn’t be able to have abortions.”

So let me get this straight.  To Scarlett, “liberation” is defined by the ability to have all the sex you want, with and when you want, and have as many abortions as you so desire.  Interesting.  I suppose our forefathers who died to liberate our country from England had that very definition in mind.  Nice.

“Jihad car commercial upsets U.S. Muslims”

“CINCINNATI (Reuters also known as FAKIRS) – A car commercial proclaiming a jihad on the U.S. auto market and offering “Fatwa Fridays” with free swords for the kids is offensive and should not be aired, Muslim leaders said on Sunday.”

I ask the Muslim leaders once again. When do we get to hear about your outrage at the offensiveness of the killing that is taking place under the guise of your religious beliefs? Until I hear loud and direct condemnation of the killing by the fundamentalist pretenders, the true infidels, I can have no respect for you or the Islamic religion.

Inshallah,

So I’m exhausted. I’m going to take the random approach here, and lay off of the typical 2 hours of nightly reading and writing.

So the easy target. Sean Penn. I will now take what is called the “low road”, or more commonly referred to in inner circles (or which I have one) as the “Democrat Road”. First the quote:

At the press conference, a reporter returned to the notion of Bush as a good politician, and Penn said the definition has changed — much as it has for “good actor” which now means, he said, “contest winner” (he is an Academy Award winner himself).

“So that’s the level of politician I think he’s good at,” Penn said. “Out of context, he’s Beelzebub — and a dumb one.”

Mr. Penn:

This is not to say George Bush has a great history, I’m just wondering which institute of higher learning you went to, and which political cabinet meetings did you sit in on to have a grasp of his intelligence, and what movie set did you study foreign policy on…maybe the Interpreter? Do you remember that one time you had a sit down with George Bush, and talked for hours, exchanging stories and anecdotes…that’s okay…it happens to the best of us…

Criticize the policies, but not the person…you ugly little gnomish featured bad smelling husk of a man (HA! See how I did that). Now go hit a reporter. As you can tell, I’m cranky…

P.S. You’re the Douche of the Week…just just ease back into it…you’re a perpetual nominee.
