Entertainment Wolves in Sheep Clothing
by Kerry Marsala

The empty-headed types who have bought into socialism have funded the leading capitalists the world over. These capitalists are opportunists disguised as caring liberals, rich entertainers who mouth socialist pieties to fill their bank vaults. The majority of starlit, stricken followers fatten the wallets of their idols and never stop once to question their sincerity.

Martin SheenWasn't it Martin Sheen (West Wing fame) who slept on a manhole cover one night to help the homeless people? How did one night of sleeping on a manhole cover help a homeless person? Didn't Alec Baldwin and Cher state that if President Bush won the election of 2000 they would move out of the United States? Last I checked, Alec is still trying to get his big break in film in the United States and Cher is on another endless tour of the same 50 states.

Seems to me those country singing Dixie Chicks bemoaned sharing their birth state with George W. Bush. How much has the state of Texas contributed to the funding of the Chicks music sales? Linda Ronstadt says she doesn't want to know if Republicans or fundamental Christians are in her audience because it, "clouds her enjoyment"? I grew up in the same town as Ronstadt, and evidently as a conservative and a Christian I bought too many of her albums. I didn't realize while I was supporting her dreams of living rich, that I was also "clouding her enjoyment" of her riches.

Jane Fonda, Susan Sarandon, Gore Vidal, Oliver Stone and many others have signed a public "Statement of Conscience" drafted by "Not in Our Name", which promised "to resist the injustices done by our government" and pledged their "alliance with those who have come under attack." Ms. Fonda, you and John Kerry should go back to having sit-ins, no more money for either of you. Ms. Sarandon, you're a beautiful courageous woman, but shut up and just act; you're so talented. Vidal, you've made your millions writing about sexual perversions and disdain for conservative ideals, on top of the millions of dollars that were yours from inheritance. Your twisted look of America should have you permanently living in France.

Stone, you are a film artist extraordinaire, but a crackpot conspiracist who hates America. Stone is quoted at the HBO Film Panel, on "Making Movies That Matter," that huge corporations who make mediocre movies are part of what made Osama bin Laden plan the Sept. 11 attack. "They control culture," he said of the corporations, in comments quoted in the New Yorker. "They control ideas. And I think the revolt of Sept. 11th was about 'F-- you! F-- your order.' "

Michael MooreMichael Moore makes far-left documentaries blasting American industry. In the never-never land he inhabits, Bush was responsible for 9/11. Moore doesn't really make documentaries, he is much like Stone, a crackpot conspiracy theory genus, laughing his way to eating all the Big Macs his body can handle. Think about it, we the star-struck public who pay for Moore's books and films may be sued at a later date for contributing to Moore's heart disease. Sean Penn spent $56,000 for a full-page ad in The Washington Post to warn President Bush against a "legacy of shame and horror." Again Penn you're an outstanding actor, you've got a great family, but what do you know about foreign policy?

The darling diva, Barbra Streisand, in her Democratic fundraising concert in Hollywood, slammed the president for "the arrogance of wanting unlimited power." Streisand, your voice is to die for; to put it in succinctly: "it's like butter." My dear Ms. Funny Girl, your disdain for conservatism makes "What's up Doc?" a question we'd all like an answer -- why the hate? Least guilty on this list, but certainly not last in the long line of perpetrators is Elton John. Elton attacked what he refers to as a McCarthy-like "era of censorship" in America after Ronstadt was given the old heave-ho out the door for espousing her political views in Vegas during a SINGING concert. Elton John has sold untold millions of CD's, Albums, fan club paraphernalia and such like. He does not understand censorship. If one side has the right to be strident in their views and hold captive an audience that has paid money to hear them sing, then those who have the opposite opinion have as much right to clearly state their objections.

There is a proper time and place for political voice. It's not when I pay my money to hear someone sing or entertain. If I the consumer am under the assumption that you the entertainer are performing, then please render services due and save your political rhetoric for a night with Whoopi Goldberg and John Kerry.

The left worldwide represents some of the biggest capitalists ever to walk this planet. They push their social agenda of racial, economic, and social divisiveness, but line their pockets with the greenbacks we so eagerly hand over to them. By definition, these entertainers are capiltalists and have major financial interest in their own self-seeking enterprises, called themselves. These are entertainers who claim to identify with the common man, but they are all persons of great wealth. There is nothing wrong with capitalism or wealth, but when they claim to oppose the very system that gives them popular standing, that is hypocrisy.

It's time we stop lining the pockets of the liberals who dress-up as innocent lambs and expose them for what they really are: opportunist and socialist wolves who want the masses to bow down to their every wish -- and to keep the money coming.
