Are there any conservative film makers? It seems to be that if an actor, director, producer admits to being conservative, their career is over. Same with singers. I remember a country singer who said something that did not sit well with the liberal crowd. He dared to voice an opinion or support for a group. It was a matter of days before he made an open apology for his words. He said he was wrong. He said that he needed help, counseling... What is that? Is that what we've become.
Whoopi can go on tv and completely disrespect Jewish people and downplay the holocaust and they give her a mild slap on the wrist then let her back on tv... Now she'd doing it again. When a conservative says abortion is a crime against humanity and god, the liberals lose their mind but Whoopi (and others with her political views) can say what they want. Why is it a crime to say 'let's make America great again'? I don't know about you, but I want America to be great again. Why do people get beat up and harassed for agreeing with our former president? Why can't we have our opinions any longer. Why are Supreme Court Justices being intimidated at their homes because a group wants them to vote a certain way. That is not America. What have we become??
..and I think any film maker who infused their work with a political agenda IS alienating at least half of the country. Why?? Entertainers are the court jesters of our society but now, as a society, we have elevated them to the position of demigods. As for me, I could give a crap what any actor, singer or celebrity thinks. I'd rather listen to an economist or a scientist or an impartial reporter of events (good luck with that one).
I guess the bottom line is that politicians on both sides are not at all what they pretend to be. Same with celebrities. It's all about money. I can understand that. The real problem is that Americans, as a whole, are stupid. They either don't follow the news or they only get it from social media, but what's worse than that is that they don't check other sources to find out if what they are reading is true. If Facebook tells them a certain person is evil, then by god that person is evil.. They must me, Facebook said so.... I don't mean to pick on Americans but I honestly am having a hard enough time following what is going on here to follow what is going on in the rest of the world. My feeling is that it is just as bad elsewhere or maybe even worse.
Sorry for the rant. I know that the entertainment industry appears to be run by liberals. So be it. They wield their influence over the masses. It's just too bad the masses don't take the time to find out, as best we can, what is really going on.
Now here's the kicker; I don't think any of us actually knows what's going on. I'm talking about the people who make an effort to seek out the true. Nobody knows what is really happening. Not me, not you, not Nate. Nobody. Whatever is happening to the world right now is well orchestrated and will catch us so off guard that when the hammer comes down we will be powerless to resist. I think that when it happens, it will happen quickly.
