The Persecution of Conservatives in Hollywood

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton -  the NoisyRoom

I have friends in Hollywood and in the entertainment industry on both coasts. These people are good, moral individuals. They have strong conservative principles and I am honored to know each and every one of them. Now, Progressive fascism is stalking them and the TEA Party. How long until they find a way to get to each of us? To shut is up one way or another? They are using what they term “McCarthyism” to hunt us down because we are not Marxists. It is long past time that we turn their collective tables on them.

Hollywood is notoriously Leftist. Those few that are conservative, must meet in secret and keep their opinions to themselves for fear of being blacklisted and not being able to earn a living. Much like being a Jew in Hitler’s Germany, there are some things best not spoken of in public these days. I’m surprised they haven’t given them yellow stars.

There are those who will not be silenced. Gary Sinise formed a group of conservatives and centrists in Hollywood a decade ago who meet and discuss their beliefs in their homes and quietly over dinner. Beliefs such as supporting out troops and conservative values. The Friends of Abe are Hollywood’s Conservative Underground and they are brave patriots who just want to return to our founding principles, see the government shrink and ensure that we adhere to fiscal responsibility. What does it say about America when these individuals have to meet in secret, behind closed doors? When their speech is so squelched, that simply uttering the wrong opinion can end their careers? That isn’t freedom – that is fascism.

It is said that the Friends of Abe numbers about 1500 currently. I have no way of knowing, nor should it be an issue. But I do know that they are growing and fast. I also know that the IRS is now gunning for them. Last year, when it was exposed that the IRS was targeting the TEA Party, people were incensed. But nothing of actual note was done about it. People were dragged in front of Congress, who obviously knew nothing about the Constitution. Invoking the 5th, while blathering and nullifying it… they were allowed to walk and were never forced to account for their actions. Now, the IRS has modified its rules so it can righteously attack the TEA Party and other non-profit conservative groups or loosely aligned affiliations, such as the Friends of Abe. These rules will not apply to the Left — you can all but count on that.

From the New York Times:

Now the Internal Revenue Service is reviewing the group’s activities in connection with its application for tax-exempt status. Last week, federal tax authorities presented the group with a 10-point request for detailed information about its meetings with politicians like Paul D. Ryan, Thaddeus McCotter and Herman Cain, among other matters, according to people briefed on the inquiry.

The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the organization’s confidentiality strictures, and to avoid complicating discussions with the I.R.S.

Those people said that the application had been under review for roughly two years, and had at one point included a demand — which was not met — for enhanced access to the group’s security-protected website, which would have revealed member names. Tax experts said that an organization’s membership list is information that would not typically be required. The I.R.S. already had access to the site’s basic levels, a request it considers routine for applications for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.

Friends of Abe — the name refers to Abraham Lincoln — has strongly discouraged the naming of its members. That policy even prohibits the use of cameras at group events, to avoid the unwilling identification of all but a few associates — the actors Gary Sinise, Jon Voight and Kelsey Grammer, or the writer-producer Lionel Chetwynd, for instance — who have spoken openly about their conservative political views.

I don’t blame them for wanting their anonymity and privacy. They are being hunted down and persecuted. Here’s the kicker… the government is trying to dictate who can speak to the group. They claim they only have conservatives and their lineups should be more diverse. I’m sure what they actually mean is Marxist. Friends of Abe is not political in nature. There is a difference between conservative and political. Just because someone running for office speaks at an event, in no way means they are supporting him for said office. They are not doing political fundraisers or pushing candidates. They are like-minded individuals who meet to discuss common principles. You know… like People for the American Way, only with fewer communists. We all know what the real crux is here – the Left hates conservatives and wants to eliminate them from Hollywood.

Instead of running and hiding, each of us should come out in public with strong support for these conservatives. Each of our names is on a list and you will feel the bite of prejudice from the Marxists in power. It is only a matter of when, not if.

Our culture is an American culture, not the one that Progressives seek to inflict on us. The Republicans are not the answer. The whole damn party needs a good cleaning out and new, actual conservative leadership needs to take its place. If the Left wants to talk smack about our Founding Fathers, our constitution and our American way of life, I say bring it. We’re sick to death of you and your Marxist manipulations. America elected a Marxist fraud and we invited in a whole slew of his comrades. We need to do whatever it takes at the polls to take our country back, or America will see blood in her streets and the end of freedom in the Western world. We can either be apathetic or run for the next two years like the devil was after us… because he is.

I am not a member of the Friends of Abe, but I would be proud to call any one of them a friend and compatriot. The TEA Party, Friends of Abe and all conservatives are now being hunted in America. They are being actively persecuted and they are trying to force us into silence and compliance. I say, hell no! We will keep fighting and we will not submit to the Progressives in this nation. I think it’s time to take a walk on the conservative Hollywood side, don’t you?

*You can certainly bet that non of these people were invited to the ‘Secret 50th Soiree’ at the White House this past weekend!!

Clint Eastwood to Ask America to: Make My Day…

There have been rumors and various speculations all week that there would be a special guest at the Republican National Convention.

Tonight is the final night of the abbreviated Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida shortened by one day due to safety concerns caused by Tropical Storm Issac.  There is a big line-up tonight including Florida Senator Marco Rubio and the acceptance speech from Mitt Romney himself plus now confirmed America’s beloved tough guy and former Carmel Mayor Clint Eastwood, who generally does not get involved in political campaigns.

Republicans managed to inject some drama into their convention this week, in addition to Isaac, with the speculation about who might share the stage with Mitt Romney in addition to Marco Rubio. Possible names have ranged from Sarah Palin to Rush Limbaugh, while others tabbed Tim Tebow, the evangelistic New York Jets quarterback, or perhaps real estate mogul Donald Trump who was cut after Monday’s program deleted. Even former Presidents George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush were mulled as possibilities as well as Nancy Reagan by video and Clint Eastwood, and then Fox News reported Wednesday that a Republican source said it would be the "Million Dollar Baby" (Blu-ray) director and former Mayor of Carmel, California.

It has now been fully confirmed that Mitt Romney will have a familiar gravelly voiced act to follow tonight. Academy Award-winning actor and director Clint Eastwood will be the mystery speaker expected to address the RNC crowd before the Republican presidential hopeful takes the podium, tonight, on the last night of the GOP convention in Tampa.

The GOP has typically kept a wary distance from Hollywood and in-turn many conservative Hollywood types from politics.  All the same, given Jon Voight’s vocal presence at the Tampa summit, as well as the public backing provided by other conservative celebrities like Chuck Norris, Kelsey Grammer, Ted Nugent and Janine Turner (a speaker at the convention), a bit of strategically placed celebrity advocacy during election season tends to draw media attention, at the very least.  Some think Jon Voight might have been instrumental in getting Clint to appear at the convention. Mitt is also liked, respected and supported by most of the athletes who participated in the Utah Olympics; several appeared at the convention.

Earlier this year, Eastwood came under criticism from conservatives for a Super Bowl ad that some interpreted as a tacit endorsement of President Obama. But Eastwood officially  endorsed Romney at a fundraiser in Sun Valley, Idaho, earlier this month.

Eastwood, best known for his on-screen roles as "Dirty Harry" will be a great addition to the final night of the convention.  When asked by Fox’s Neil Cavuto, from the Fox Business Channel, House Minority Leader Eric Cantor said, “All Clint needs to do is walk on stage… stop for a pregnant pause and say, “Make My Day”  and Americans of all stripes would get the message!  Let us hope they will!!

Emmy Award Winner Debuts New Song Telling Obama to ‘Get Out’

Emmy Award Winner Debuts New Song Telling Obama to ‘Get Out’

Morgan Chalfant - Red Alert Politics – originally posted July 11, 2012 – cross-posted at Info-Wars

Ryan Bomberger of SoOutLoud.com is out with Get Out, a catchy pop tune that skewers Barack Obama for his “slick marketing” and for being “fast and furious with all the lies,” referring to the “Fast and Furious” scandal.

Bomberger suggests that people were tricked by Obama’s “slick marketing.” He sings, “the slick marketing, a logo that promised everything, but hope and change meant you hoped to change my constitutional liberty.”

He sings repeatedly amid copious images of the Obama-campaign symbol: “You gotta get out, you need to get out. BHO’s gotta go don’t you know. Yes we can kick him out.”

The chorus is featured three times in less than two minutes and finds every way possible to tell Obama to “get out.” Bomberger urges his listeners, “Don’t you know, yes we can, vote him out.”

The song also mocks Obama for backing the redefinition of marriage and for making “sure that religious liberty doesn’t mean a thing.”

He blames Obama for “spend[ing] billions to make a worse economy” and forcing Americans to choose “prison or your Obamacare policy.”

Also, Bomberger admits in the song that he is biracial like Obama and then adds, “racial profiling is okay if it’s a vote for you.”

The catchy tune should strike a chord with young voters my engaging them on their level.

SNL Democrat Comic Unloads…

On the “ABC’s of SNL” podcast, Jon Lovitz called Obama a “jackass” for claiming that the rich don’t pay enough taxes. When lamenting a practical 50% tax on the wealthy he said “isn’t that enough?”

Now… Same Democrat Comic Unloads: Obama's 'a f---ing a—hole'

'Saturday Night Live' legend goes ballistic on president – by Joe Kovacs

Jon Lovitz

A comedic legend from NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” is now going ballistic on Barack Obama, calling the president “a f—ing a–hole” despite the fact he voted for him in 2008.

Actor and comic Jon Lovitz, perhaps best known for his catchphrase of “Yeah, that’s the ticket” by his character, the pathological liar Tommy Flanagan, dropped the F-bomb on Obama in a January podcast that’s just becoming widely known today.

The podcast, titled “The ABC’s of SNL,” was co-hosted by filmmaker Kevin Smith, and billed as being recorded “live from the Jon Lovitz Podcast Theatre.”

Lovitz said: “This whole thing with Obama saying the rich don’t pay their taxes is f—ing bullsh–. And I voted for the guy, and I’m a Democrat. What a f—ing a–hole. The rich don’t pay their taxes? Let me tell you something, right. First they say to you, you’re dead broke, ‘the United States of America, you can do anything you want, go for it.’ So then you go for it and then you make it, and everyone’s like ‘f— you.’”

Lovitz went on to say Obama “is the perfect example. He’s amazing. He had nothing. He had no father. He was, you know, of mixed race which is a burden in the United, don’t kid yourself, you know, growing up like that, and no money, and the guy ends up being at Harvard. He’s the President of the United States. And now he’s like, f— me!”

He continued, “If I make a dollar and out of every dollar I’m taxed at 50, half, at 50 cents, I have to give, isn’t that like enough? It’s half. HALF!”

Lovitz’s co-host clowned that the government would be offended, and therefore shut down his podcast theatre.

“We heard that [in] the fourth f—kin’ episode, you won’t leave Obama alone,” said Smith. “This is an election year! They’re gonna come in and make an example of you, man. The government can come in and take your sh– away. Even your good memories.”

One WND reader, Brad Bowen, says he agrees with Lovitz’s sentiment, but “the problem for me is twofold: [First,] he voted for the man. I do not care that he is a Democrat. The second is I could [not] care less what any celebrity said. Unless they are like Ted Nugent or Chuck Norris with a definite record, they are just another dumbsh– late to the party.”

Lovitz isn’t the only comic from “SNL” who has problems with the president.

His fellow cast member, Victoria Jackson, who’s now a WND columnist, made national headlines in March 2010 when she released a song on YouTube titled, “There’s a Communist in the White House,” which has collected more than a half-million views.

Her song begins:

It seems these days I’m in a haze
And I can’t concentrate on things.
Can’t eat or sleep, feel incomplete
Feel kind of scared and creepy.
I look over my shoulder lots
And shudder when I watch TV.
I bite my nails and cuticles
And watch my words very carefully.
I bite my lip a lot and fidget with the buttons on my blouse
Why? Because there’s a communist living in the White House

Jackson cited the socialist leanings of Obama’s grandparents, communist leanings of his mother, the Marxist professors he had in college and his own links to the teachings of Saul Alinsky while related news clips – some from WND – flash on the screen.

“He told Joe the Plumber, ‘Spread the wealth,’ which is a direct quote from the Communist Manifesto,” she continues. Then in office, Obama appointed Van Jones and took over the banking and car industries.

“How much more proof do you want?”

Jackson, a native of Miami, Fla., has been an outspoken opponent of Obama, and has participated in tea parties, including one in Pasadena, Calif., in July 2009 where she flayed the president’s policies.

Hollywood types from both sides of the aisle are beginning to stand-up and speak out more and more.  Obamaland is beginning to crumble, but as that happens and Team Obama becomes more and more desperate… the manipulation and cheating (voter fraud, vote count fraud… the biggie, anti-voter fraud law fights and voter intimidation) and the Alinsky-style mud-slinging (where truth will have no place or effect) will get worse and worse.  So America we have 6-months to get engaged and join those in Hollywood who have found their common sense and voice and must stand together in November and demand a fair election with as many re-counts and new elections as it takes to prevent another Al Franken fiasco.  If Al Franken, who cheated and was cheated for and lost the 2008 election, had not been seated… or been removed after having been wrongly seated, we night not have ObamaCare!

And if you agree with those speaking out, or just believe in the 1st Amendment for all Americans, please support the work of those entertainers brave enough to stand-up and speak out, because for many it ends up being the end of their careers or at least a definite slow down if we don’t support them!

The New Counter Culture: Liberty

Once upon a time in America, the 1960s to be exact, a generation of young people dissatisfied with the status quo decided they wanted to change society for that they felt was the better. They resented the culture of the time, which was a conservative, somewhat conformist society born out of the 1950s. Taking a cue from the Soviets who called anything that was against Communism “counter-revolutionary” they referred their movement as the “counter-culture.”

From this we got the hippies, the yippies, underground comics, groups like the SLA and the Black Panthers, all sorts of pressure groups and social movements. These were mostly influenced and orchestrated by the left. In fact, leftists had a big hand in shaping a lot of those communities and they infiltrated academia, education, government, media. Over the years they effected a lot of change to our society.

You can judge for yourself how well that worked out. But you can’t deny they managed to get a lot of what they wanted. Except what resulted is a typical example of human irony.

The counter-culture wanted to be free of what they considered a constricting, conformist society. Yet what did they turn it into when they got old and assumed power? They created a society more restrictive and conformist than that “evil” repressive 50s culture they love to vilify. They have become the new scolds. They have ushered in an “Age of Unreason” where you have to do what they say or else. They tell us what we can eat, what we can say, what kind of car to drive, what kind of light bulbs to use, on and on. They lecture us about our “carbon footprint” and “sustainable lifestyle”. They claim that the government, which they have spent the last eight years railing against, can solve all our problems if we abdicate what’s left of our personal freedoms, without question.

The “establishment” these days is left wing. Look around, from the administration to most of the entertainers on TV, the message is left leaning despite the fact that the country is more right leaning. “The Man” is a leftie tyrant. You don’t dare speak against the system or be scorned by the media and all the yapping chihuahuas of the echo chamber.

The comics of late night and cable are a perfect example of this. They’ve become nothing more than palace eunuchs, simpering at the thought of offending the hive mind. They do not serve the same function of comics past. Johnny Carson at least lobbed mild jokes at presidents, Democrat and Republican, all in good fun. Now, today’s comics don’t find this administration something to laugh at, even though it is one of the richest targets for sarcasm in recent memory. You have a pompous, egoist of a president with almost no accomplishments to show for all his hubris. It’s funny enough on its own. Then you throw in the collection of crazies from Nancy Pelosi to the wacky czars. It’s low hanging fruit to anyone with two brain cells to rub together. Can you count all their collective brain cells on one hand?

If the alleged comics of late night and cable have no imagination or guts, that’s where we come in. The new Counter Culture.

We, the artists who reject the politics of “the man,” the propaganda of the state. We artists, writers and creative people who are tired of being pushed around and told what to do. Those of us who think everything is going wrong and it’s got to stop. We are using our art, our work, to show the folly of the ways of the “establishment”. We’re finding plenty to mock and criticize. And we don’t need the approval of the “cool kids” who really aren’t. Not even remotely.

It’s not a conservative vs lefty argument. It’s freedom lovers verses the statists. It’s liberty vs tyranny.

The people have been sold out by those who never sought to give us freedom. They want to entrap the people in greater dependency on the state. They want to tax every person and business into the stone age. They want to regulate every aspect of people’s lives.

We say no. We reject that. “We” are those who are willing to speak out and ridicule the corrupt bureaucrats and their enablers, just as the counter-culturalists of the 60s mocked the “older generation,” we’re launching our own counter offensive to their propaganda. Our own critiques to their rhetoric.

The Age of Aquarius is over. We’re entering the Age of Libra. The age of Balance. No more tilting to the left!

Unlike the old guard entertainers who continue to shuck and jive for the state, we’re here to expose, reveal and satirize the endless tyranny being rammed down our throats. The real “change” is going to come from those us who have the guts to say NO.

We’re loud and we’re proud. We’re the new counter-culture!

Get ready, We’re coming.

Conservative Celebrities Join in Supporting Our Troops

Now is the Time to Step up Your Efforts!
Support our Conservative Celebrities and our Troops

We’re proud to announce some more huge names who have signed on to Move America Forward’s Troopathon, a historic effort to send the largest-ever shipment of care packages to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. You can help make it happen by sending a care package. Famous pro-troop celebrities from talk radio and TV to film and music have been signing on to support our troops.

In just the past few days, we’ve received confirmation from Radio titan Rush Limbaugh, actors Kelsey Grammer and Gary Sinise and many more.

These celebrities are taking time out of their busy schedules to lend us a hand in hopes that many troop supporters, like you, around the country will respond by sponsoring care packages for our brave troops. They have all agreed to join our webcast “Honor Their Service” later this month at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

But this effort is not about an impressive list of names, and it’s not about putting together a groundbreaking webcast, though we certainly will. It’s about sending the largest shipment of care packages in history to our troops.
While we at MAF HQ can call celebrities and promote the telethon on TV, radio and the internet, only YOU can make the dream a reality for our troops. Only you can send the kind words that show our troops they are loved and appreciated for their heroic service.

Please sponsor a care package today towards
the largest shipment in history

We have ONLY 14 DAYS left to put together the largest care package shipment in history, and we need to be stockpiling orders faster and faster each day. We are starting to fall behind our record-breaking pace from last year. With the economy down and the troops off the front pages of the news, people are giving less than last year, and the men and women protecting our freedom are too often forgotten. How sad it would be for this to be the signal we send to our military from the home front during this trying and uncertain time.

Our troops deserve better. As Americans who recognize their service and sacrifice, it’s our duty to spread the word to friends and neighbors by calling and emailing about this massive effort, and showing our troops that we can beat last year’s record. They must know that our gratitude is not waning.

The packages we send are chock full of high quality goodies that our guys and gals love, caringly packed by our corps of volunteers and sealed with your personal message of support. Please help us send as many of these boxes as possible. Our troops deserve all we can send and more, and at a time like this, the gesture is all the more meaningful.

P.S. For more information on our 2nd annual troopathon “Honor Their Service” airing June 25th, visit http://www.troopathon.org. Tickets to view this event LIVE at the Ronald Regan Library are available HERE.
