Finger-wagging celebrities

PatriotRetort: There is nothing more off-putting than to be lectured at by a bunch of finger-wagging celebrities who do not have the collective brain wattage to power an Easy Bake Oven.

Every day this week, the Internet was swamped with video of famous or nominally famous celebrities hectoring Americans from the podium of the DNC Convention.

Show of hands.

Who reading this really gives a hoot in hell what Eva Longoria thinks? Or Meryl Streep? Or Lena Dunham?

God bless her, I love America Fererra in “Ugly Betty.” She was as cute as a bug in that show.

But, there is truly nothing more infuriating than to see her wag her finger and lecture us on how the Founding Fathers established this country so that there would be diversity of sexual orientation.

Yeah. She said that.

  1. Most of these celebs have been pretty well instant successes and have no real idea of what life is like in the real world. They just listen to their managers, PR flacks, agents etc etc who all repeat the same liberal left crap to each other and therefore it must be true so the celeb doesn’t really have to have an opinion since she or he has already been given one. There are a few Hollywood celebs that are conservative and are successful as well as confident enough to admit it. For most of them though it seems to be a lost cause.

  2. Sheesh, who gets naked on a toilet eating cake and then sends the image out into the world.

    This is a person that’s wagging their finger at me as Dianny says? Ugh.

  3. Gee Wally, aren’t these the same people who are all for Gay rights and boycotting Chick-Fil-A, yet continue to buy gasoline from OPEC members who stone, shoot, hang and throw homosexuals off the top of buildings?

    Yeah Beave… not only that, but these are also the same dimwits who can’t wind a wrist watch without a personal assistant, a personal trainer, a house-keeper, a chauffeur, a consultant and a psychiatrist and live their lives shuffling through the revolving doors of divorce courts, bankruptcy courts, custody courts, criminal courts and rehab centers, yet are only too happy to travel anywhere on Earth (leaving a large carbon trail in their wake) to preach to the average, hard-working, over-taxed payer how to live, what to eat, how to raise yer kids, what kind of energy we need, what kind of Gay electric clown-car to drive and, of course, who to vote for!

    Oh, almost fergot… they’re also the same people who would try to convince you to drink the Kool-Aid on a Jim Jones camp-out!

  4. I was going to go see “Jason Bourne” just because. I was kind of on autopilot and was just about to go. I liked the other ones. But, I thought about Matt Damon and his leftist shit. Didn’t give him and his ilk my 11 bucks. Fuck em. It starts with individual acts.

  5. Kaminsky,
    I feel the same way about Sly Stallone as you do about Matt Damon. I stopped “donating” money to him many years ago.
    That’s one of the first things I do when a new movie comes out, I look to see who’s in it, and remember what their politics are and what stoopid shit they’ve said. Then I save my money by not going to the movie.

  6. This is why I don’t watch TV or go to the movies. I refuse to give them any kind of attention. Interesting though that the #1 show on TV that people watched was Housewives of Orange County and Housewives of NJ. I guess a lot of other people refused to watch the Commies in action. I’d rather eat liver than to watch those liberal commies – AND I HATE LIVER!!!

  7. Woodman,

    I thought Sly was fairly right wing. What is it you don’t like? I’m curious.

    I agree. Celebs are just people who have their own beliefs. They started bringing their rot into storytelling. It’s starting in sports too with all kinds of shit. Twitter and the internet in general has really lifted the mystique from these a-holes. I find old books to be all the entertainment I need anymore. Free, and also just pure storytelling.

  8. Lena Dunham is the revolting creature who wrote in her book about tampering with her baby sister’s vagina and other acts of molestation she committed. Anyone who looks to her as a voice of moral reasoning is just as sick and twisted as she is.

  9. They climb onto the 1% platform to protect their life style. Exemptions, pour into Hollywood. Laws are written and passed by corrupt congress, for us, but they exempt themselves. That should be AGAINST the law, just as voting themselves pay raises and perks, should be.

  10. Stallone came out for Trump 7 months ago in the heat of the primaries. For a Hollywood guy he’s certainly on the right.

    Political Insider said this; What does he think of the Republican frontrunner? “I love Donald Trump,” he said. “He’s a great Dickensian character. You know what I mean? There are certain people like Arnold, Babe Ruth, that are bigger than life. But I don’t know how that translates”—he let out a laugh—“to running the world.”

    I don’t like to think of these men as role models but for many decades, at least publicly, he’s lead an exemplary life. I have to confess I do like his persona.

    Damon OTOH is a jackass. But GD it he’s a good actor. He almost stole True Grit, was fantastic as The Martian and he is Jason Bourne and I plan on seeing the new one. Whomever it was that did the 4th installment wasn’t anywhere as good. Paul Greengrass is back directing-it looks pretty good.

  11. I don’t have as much trouble with the celebs who spout off on political issues as much as I do with the sheeple who think that being a celebrity affords them some kind of god-like wisdom that we mere mortals lack. They’re just people like everyone else. Some of them even have talent, but that does not necessarily equate to intelligence.

  12. One of the biggest arguments my new bride and I had was over a Jane Fonda work put album she bought home. This was back around 1983 or so. I flipped out, of course she had no idea. Thirty-three years later I try to keep her informed of the latest batch of idiots, like Bradley Cooper and his donations to Hitlery.

    Sorry Brad, but you’re dead to me and so are your movies.

  13. I didn’t mind it one bit.

    Of course, I didn’t see one bit of it. (Well, unless that is an actual screencap, at the top.)

    It saves so much effort formulating the proper response – this, particular, time – to you peeing on my shoes, and screaming past the gun you’ve shoved in my face, that I MUST sing “It’s raining again…”, if I simply don’t put my shoes on and go see you – again.

  14. Part of the DNC strategy is to use celebrities to fire up the low information voters – after all, who better to espouse the party platform than a bunch of people who make their money pretending to be someone a writer dreamed up? But a large part of it is payback – the DNC gives these folks some time at the convention because they contribute so much of their money to Democrats. Meryl Streep donates a lot of money, and because the Democrats kiss her ass for this and let her blather at the convention, she feels important and intelligent.

    No national politician bothers to campaign in California, and only trek here to raise money. California doesn’t even have a Republican running for the Senate, and in the urban areas of California, the Republican party has essentially ceased to exist. For Democrats, the Hollywood vote is a win-win – they tell these folks what to believe and give them slogans to spout, and relieve them of their cash in the process.
