HOLLYWOOD LIBERAL HYPOCRISY - IN THREE WORDS

 
Hollywood Limousine Liberals, we all know who they are. Movie stars,  the self absorbed, ill educated, and shallow self anointed.  I say ill educated because they have the belief that their celebrity status has put them above all other human beings, but that is our own fault. Plus when they have gained this "A-List" celebrity status, that their intellect is somehow miraculously enhanced to genius level.
 
  They believe that they cannot be challenged and to enforce their beliefs they surround themselves with only those who will agree with them, including their fan base.  And to those who do disagree they have the power of the "entertainment media" to demean and castigate them.

  In recent years however the Hollywood Liberals have now taken upon themselves on what we all now must think and especially on what is deemed offensive. They not only are endlessly attacking the 2nd Amendment, but they are re-writing the 1st Amendment. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion and most of all, the Freedom of Expression.

  However though when it comes to the Hollywood Liberals it is when something offends THEM, well then, that is something completely different.

  And I can prove this hypocrisy by the Hollywood Liberals in just three words - - - ANDREW "DICE" CLAY.  The DICEMAN will also show you how when it comes to political correctness, even the Hollywood Liberals will sell you out and banish you.

  Because Hollywood Liberals will always hide themselves behind two shield words. Those words are "ART" and "ARTIST".

  Andrew "Dice" Clay got his start doing comedy and impressions at a young age. He also appeared early in his career in such television series as M*A*S*H, Diff'rent Strokes and Crime Story. He also landed small roles in films such as MAKING THE GRADE (1984) , PRETTY IN PINK (1986) and CASUAL SEX? (1988).  However it was his character "Dice" in the film MAKING THE GRADE that he began to focus on to go into stand-up comedy.

  The type of comedy of Andrew "Dice" Clay was strictly for adults and yes it was vulgar. However it was what comedy has to be, and that was funny. The character of the DICEMAN that he played was particularly aimed at women, this character was the epitome of the male chauvinistic pig.  But Andrew "Dice" Clay was a huge success playing to sold out theaters for years, and Dice had a huge following of female fans. Many in the front row were hoping to be his target for the evening.

  Andrew "Dice" Clay is not the first stand-up comedian in the world to use vulgarity for his act, not will he be the last.  Remember LENNY BRUCE? I did a blog years back on Lenny Bruce, I'll get back to him in a second.

  DICE became one of the most successful stand-up comics in the world - - - until - - - some elitist snob from the Hollywood Liberals and those of the art world became offended. It only takes one. And whoever put the target on Andrew "Dice" Clay's back almost destroyed his career.

  Let me show some examples of the Hollywood Liberal Hypocrisy:

  On October 3, 1992, singer SINEAD O'CONNOR appeared as the musical guest on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. Her act was sand an a cappella version of Bob Marley's song "WAR", during the performance, while emphasizing the word "evil" she tore a picture of Pope John Paul II. Needless to say, this caused a huge protest among Catholics and the religious communities. Hollywood and the music community rallied around Ms. O'Connor proclaiming that she as an "artist" has the right to express herself through her "art".  You see, the Hollywood Liberals also have designated people whom they allow to be offended; and those just happen to be Catholics, Christians and Jews.

  In 1987, photographer Andres Serrano's work, a photo entitles IMMERSION: PISS CHRIST was the winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Arts "Awards in Visual Arts" Competition. The photo was that of a crucifix submerged in a jar of Mr. Serrano's own urine. Though this photo did cause controversy, it was still exhibited and liberals still defended Mr. Serrano's right to express himself through his art. This photograph even received a $15,000.00 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

  Next example, in 1989 photographer ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE, (1946 - 1989), began an exhibit of his work in a tour known as THE PERFECT MOMENT.  His photography was to be first exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The photos consisted of subjects as the consumption on urine, bondage, sadomasochism and the homoerotic. One photo in particular was a self portrait of Mr. Mapplethorpe with the handle of a bullwhip inserted into his rectum.

  Again, needless to say the exhibit caused quite a controversy and the laws against censorship and Mr. Mapplethorpe's First Amendment rights were at the head of the debate, not only by the art community, but by Hollywood liberals as well. Also of what is art, and can it be funded by taxpayer dollars. The liberals stood up strong for Mr. Mapplethorpe and fought for his exhibit to be shown to the public, standing up to those in the public who were protesting the exhibit, calling it pornographic and obscene. When the Corcoran Gallery refused to have the exhibit, the non-profit Washington Project for the Arts then displayed the images.

  Then, in 1996, artist CHRIS OFILI'S painting THE HOLY VIRGIN MARY, was being exhibited in London, Berlin and New York City. The painting is 8 feet high and six feet wide, it depicts a Black Madonna with an exposed breast. The Madonna is surrounded by butterflies with turns out to be photographs of female genitalia. However, one of the things used to paint this portrait was ELEPHANT EXCREMENT. Then Mayor of New York Rudolph Giuliani threaten to pull the $7 million dollars in City Hall grants to the Brooklyn Museum for showing the portrait, but lost the court case because of the protection Mr. Ofili has under the First Amendment, (as it should be).

  Lastly, let us not forget the actions of movie "actors" DANNY GLOVER and SEAN PENN, along with singer HARRY BELEFONTE; who openly supported and had shown affection for the late Venezuelan president HUGO CHAVEZ.  Again, the Hollywood Left and those in the entertainment industry openly displayed support for these thee men by defending their First Amendment rights.
 
  This may surprise you, but I too support the First Amendment rights of all the aforementioned. I will speak out against their opinions and actions, but that is the big difference between them and I, that is how far I will go. To just give my opposing view, hoping to convince others.

  Let's get back to Andrew "Dice" Clay. The Diceman was a huge success. Best selling comedy albums, sold out performances and HBO specials. He was in great demand. One great example of this success is the fact that he is the first comedian in history to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row; a feat that he did THREE TIMES.

  Then  - - - something happened. Somebody - - - got offended. The women's rights groups then started to become involved. One thing Hollywood liberals are focused on like a laser is political correctness. Soon the female Hollywood liberals became involved, and I say that Hollywood liberals will never cease to use political correctness as an opportunity for free positive publicity. Women then began to call for the boycott of Andrew "Dice" Clay, and it began to work.

  The pinnacle of this came in 1990 when Dice appeared on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. Two women on the show refused to work that week in protest of Dice guest hosting that evening. they were cast member NORA DUNN, and - - - ironically that weeks musical guest - - - SINEAD O'CONNOR. Yes, the same SINEAD O'CONNER who some years before caused her own controversy by tearing a photograph of the Pope in protest. Ms. O'Connor was herself trying to get her career back on track for her action that particular evening.

  The domino effect then followed. Even MTV, yes MTV banned Andrew "Dice Clay for life. MTV who broadcast some of the most meaningless garbage on television deemed Andrew "Dice" Clay to vulgar for their network.

  The career of Andrew "Dice" Clay was almost destroyed. The same Hollywood left, would stood up for all the aforementioned, turned their backs on Andrew "Dice" Clay. Yes, they even rallied behind SINEAD O'CONNER blasting anyone who criticized her. The week after her tearing of the photo of the Pope, she was booed off stage in New York City, KRIS KRISTOPHERSON even comforted her on stage. Ms. O'Conner's career was almost ruined, but the difference between her and Andrew "Dice" Clay is that her audience and fan base left her voluntarily, nobody in the entertainment industry called for her boycott as they did the Diceman.

  And that is the problem we have with the Hollywood left. They are not anything like their predecessors of the past and of the golden age. Somehow over the past few decades the felt that they have been empowered. Something about people who reach celebrity status today, it goes to their mindset. It is also because once they reach this status, those that surround them spoil them like children. Soon they believe that everyone on earth must treat them the same way. For some reason, as I have mentioned before, they believe their intelligence is miraculously enhanced. Also, because they have played certain characters and certain roles, it now makes them expert on these subjects.

  With this new status come narcissism, and now woe upon those who shall disagree with them on any subject. They will use the media that they own, and their celebrity status to chastise, demean, intimidate, and cause you to feel great guilt for you beliefs so that they will silence you.

  However to me, these Hollywood elitists are, as I said in the past, they are FAMOUS people - - - not IMPORTANT people, and there is a HUGE difference with that. To me as I previously stated,  they all are irresponsible, self-centered, ill educated and shallow.

  To destroy a mans career, when any of the things they do and say are just as offensive as the comedic ART of Andrew "Dice" Clay.

  Ironically, it was a comedian and a pornographer that fought for them, and everyone else in this country for their right to offend and express themselves. I wrote of this before. LENNY BRUCE a comedian whose vulgarity cost him his career. He died broke fighting the government for violating his, and all the other artists First Amendment rights. Then there is LARRY FLYNT who owns HUSLTER MAGAZINE and the porn company that goes with it. The Hollywood left has HONORED both these men by having their stories told in movies. They were cast as heroes. DUSTIN HOFFMAN played Lenny Bruce in the film "LENNY" (1974) , and WOODY HARRELSON played Larry Flint in "THE PEOPLE vs. LARRY FLYNT" (1996). Tell me, how is the comedy of Lenny Bruce and the pornography of Larry Flynt any different in their demeaning of women, than that of the stand-up comedy of Andrew "Dice" Clay?

Now, the Hollywood left is deciding just who can and cannot be offended, and they are so vehement about it that they have proven that they are willing to eat one of their own.

  Fortunately though, Andrew "Dice" Clay is making a comeback. it has taken about 12 years, but he is now getting his career back on track. I have seen him on some cable television series and recently he starred in the Woody Allen film, (the same Woody Allen Dice publically criticized for Allen sexual actions with his then step daughter, now wife), "BLUE JASMINE" (2013) where he was critically acclaimed for his performance. He is  performing regularly in Las Vegas and is beginning to tour again.

  Dice fought back - - - so can you.

Shakira, Cinco de Mayo & SB 1070


It does pain me to write this because I’m going to be critical of one of the most beautiful women in the entertainment industry, Shakira. However to make this easier, I’m going to lump her in with the Principal of Long Oak High School in California, Mr. Miguel Rodriguez, and with the protesters in Arizona and around the United States that opposes SB 1070, the new Arizona law that deals with the enforcement of the laws that deal with illegal aliens in the America.

Shakira recently stated that the recent new immigration enforcement law in Arizona is “not in any constitution”, and is a violation of human rights. I’m sorry, but Shakira is from Columbia. Is Shakira actually equating ANY human rights violations here in the United States to those that happen in her native country?

Miguel Rodriguez, during the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo, ordered five boys at the Long Oak High School to go home because they refused to turn their t-shirts inside out during the holiday. The reason is that the boys t-shirts had American flags on them. The principal did not want to offend any of the American students who are of Mexican decent. He also feared that there would be some violence from the act of these boys for standing up for their own country.

My questions to Mr. Rodriguez, Shakira and those who are protesting the passing and signing into law in Arizona, (SB 1070), are this, and I will use Mexico as the example because for some reason, those who are protesting SB 1070 believe that the law is targeting ONLY illegal Mexicans. My questions to you is this:

If Mexico is so wonderful --- then why are you here?

In fact, Shakira --- if you can stand up to any human rights violations in the USA, why won’t you do the same in your native Columbia? (Also Shakira, you are of Arab decent. If you want to see real human rights violations, where one of your outfits in an Islamic country).
If the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo is all about the “independence” of Mexico --- are you actually trying to tell me that Mexico is truly independent?
If Mexico and its citizens, (and even Columbia for the sake of argument), are so important, and near and dear to your hearts --- then why are you not fighting for them --- inside the borders of the country that you love?

The answer to all the questions is quite obvious --- it’s because you are all cowards. It is so much easier and far more safer for you to protest any American policy --- then those of your own countries. The only retributions you face here is some name calling and heated debate. Are Mexico and Columbia truly “independent”? NO! Not as long as they are being run by the drug cartels and the corrupt governments that they have purchased. You are too afraid to take on and fight the REAL enemies of your people. You are too afraid to get down and dirty; and yes, spill a little blood and suffer some pain. Meanwhile though, you leave your fellow countrymen behind to do all the dirty work and to suffer the consequences of the governments and criminals in your homelands. You let them do the real fight for you. All you get in your protests here is some quality “face time”.

Here is a bit of truth to those of Mexican decent --- your families, friends and countrymen are not leaving Mexico --- they are ESCAPING from it. They are not coming here for better jobs, they are coming here for a better life. It is safer for them to be in this country illegally, than in theirs legally. It is quite a shame too because Mexico has the resources and potential to employ all of their citizens with good paying jobs that would make their standard of living equal to ours in the United States. For example, Mexico sits on the largest natural gas reservoirs on this side of the planet. But with the long history of corrupt government there, Mexico has become a huge waste of potential, because of the crooked and dishonest people who use force to keep themselves in charge --- just like in the entire continent of Africa. They, like Africa, have governments empowered by keeping the proletariat in fear for their lives and safety. The government of Mexico only benefits those in the government of Mexico.

You can not criticize this country until you clean up your own, and that means that you have to take your “revolutions” there And for Mr. Rodriguez and Shakira, I suggest that they instead of interpreting our constitution and laws, that they do some research on the immigration laws of both Mexico and Columbia.

I do though feel that I must come to the defense of Shakira somewhat. She is a celebrity from a foreign country whose thoughts are with the normal average citizen. Not like some of her counterparts here in America like Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Harry Belafonte and Oliver Stone, who go out of their way to visit, pamper, indulge and praise corrupt tyrannical leaders such as Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.

HOW TO MAKE THEM HEAR YOU!


Recently, someone close to me told me of the disdain that they were feeling towards Ms. Joy Behar of ABC's "THE VIEW" concerning her opinion of how Sarah Palin reacted towards the latest episode of the animated series "FAMILY GUY" which had a main character dating a girl with Downs Syndrome. The girl tells her date that her "father is an accountant, and her mother is the former governor of Alaska."

This person who was offended by Ms. Behar's opinion of "Down Syndrome people have a sense of humor", wanted to write the producers of The View and ABC Television to inform them of how offended she is that liberal television stars will attack Sarah Palin on every angle, including the fact that she chose to raise a child with this affliction, and that she is offended by the double standard that liberals have. If one of Barack Obama's daughters had Downs Syndrome, then Ms. Behar would be up in arms.

I calmed this person down and I told her what she must do to have her voice really heard. This is the advice that I give everyone in these situations, now I'm going to share them with you.

First, DO NOT write the network or the producers of the show ... it will fall on deaf ears. What you should do is, watch the show one or two times more and write down EVERY commercial sponsor of that program, both local and national.


Then, WRITE THAT SPONSOR, email is a wonderful invention, and CALL THE LOCAL SPONSOR. Tell them that you are appalled that their company continues to sponsor such programs and that you can no longer support their company buy purchasing their products. Because you DO NOT want to have one thin dime of your hard earned money to be filtered in any way into the pockets of these liberal celebrities.

Now there is a great chance that you will get the corporate generated response that "while we value your patronage ... that the views of this liberal celebrity does not reflect those of our company."

When you get that answer, you counter with this: "Your standard answer from your corporate guidelines has insulted me more than the liberal celebrity. The liberal celebrity DOES IN FACT reflect back upon YOUR COMPANY, and because you have stood by your corporate guidelines, you have now totally lost me as a customer, and I will inform all my friends and acquaintances of this incident and have them stop patronizing your company and its product also. These are MY guidelines."

Listen, if corporations WERE NOT worried about image and making money and profit ... then all of the companies that had TIGER WOODS as a spokesman ... would not have bailed out on him as fast as they did.

Liberal celebrities have got to learn that we ... the American citizens ... not only vote at the polls ... but we vote with our feet and our wallets as well. Take for instance one Mr. Sean Penn. Mr. Penn's actions over the years has kept many a person away from the motion pictures that he appears in. Sean Penn has not made money for a Hollywood studio in over ten years. Even a leading Hollywood periodical once stated that Sean Penn has now become "BOX OFFICE POISON".
