re: #353 HappyWarrior

The funny thing to me is when conservative actors and entertainers complain they’re blacklisted when leftist actors and directors literally were. And it’s crap that conservative actors don’t find work because of their views. R Lee Ermey was bitching about and I have to say as much as I liked him in Full Metal Jacket, he’s a pretty limited actor. He’s too old to play a drill sergeant any more and that’s his big niche. Same thing when Milo says he’s a victim of “oppression.” People in this country were literally murdered and beat up for supporting Civil Rights. Oh Milo? You dealt with a hostile crowd that you’ve repeatedly mocked and insulted? YEah that’s going to happen. You have a right to be a dick but please get teh fuck out of my country and stop lecturing my countrymen and women about our 1st amendment rights when you are deliberately trying to piss off people and that’s something you even admit. It’s your right and it’s people’s right to tell you to go fuck yourself.

And there are plenty of conservative actors who get work, e.g., Jim Caviezel and Patricia Heaton. For five years, Caviezel was on Person of Interest, a show created by J.J. Abrams who is a huge liberal.
