We are now headed into the 2014 Election Season and common sense and conservatism are on the rise. Please stand-up and be counted!

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’s speech:

He spoke unscripted and uncensored.  The empty chair is an old comic bit…

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!!

Will Bristol Palin Bring Politics Back to 'Dancing With the Stars'?

Bristol Palin to Join Allstar DWTS SeasonBristol Palin is returning to Dancing with the Stars’ (DWTS) 15th season as part of their first “all-star” cast. Including Bristol Palin, the cast will feature a dozen past contestants including athletes Emmitt Smith (Season 3), Shawn Johnson (Season 8), Apolo Anton Ohno (Season 4) and Helio Castroneves (Season 5). The winners of the first two seasons, Kelly Monaco and Drew Lachey, will also compete, along with past second-place finishers Kirstie Alley, Joey Fatone and Gilles Marini, plus Pam Anderson and Melissa Rycroft. Three other former dancers, Carson Kressley, Kyle Massey and Sabrina Bryan, will compete to be the 13th contestant; one will be selected by online voters in August.

At a news conference after the Friday July 27th announcement, Palin apparently drew most of the questions from the media, on everything from gay marriage to whether she’s making reality television a profession.   Bristol was also pressed as to what her main reason to join this season of the show was, even though she had already answered the question several times. Then E! Online reported that Palin grew a bit defensive at times during the briefing. (“Do I like to provide for my son? Yes, I do,” was one line E! reported.) She seems to have her mom’s spunk!

Bristol finally turned the table blaming the press' overbearing nature as her prime reason for doing DWTS, saying "God provides opportunities for me… The press is going to be talking about me no matter what, so I may as well be having fun."

When asked again if she believes she has made herself more of a target by doing reality TV instead of quietly going home to raise her son after the 2008 election, Bristol replied, "Like I said before, this is a fun gig. I'm not whining; I'm not complaining about anything. I'm gonna go out there and I'm going to have fun. You guys, the media, you will talk about me whether I'm in my little Alaska life or doing this."

The Palin family has certainly done their share of reality TV the past couple years.  Mom Sarah had “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” in winter 2010, featuring the whole Palin family.  Bristol and her son are featured in “Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp” on Lifetime. And dad Todd Palin will be a contestant in “Stars Earn Stripes” this fall, a show featuring military exercises and missions.

DWTS executive producer Conrad Green has revealed that it is "impossible" for the new cast—including Kelly Monaco, Gilles Marini, Drew Lachey, Anderson, Helio Castroneves, Palin and Rycroft — to have the same partners as before. The pairings will be announced Aug. 13. "We are at their mercy!" Pam Anderson joked.

Last time around Bristol was known for being an unwed teen mom turned advocate and not necessarily for her dancing, who brought the buzz last time around.  Twitter took off increasing ratings when mom, Sarah, also known as 2008 vice presidential nominee and former Alaska governor and Dad, Todd, dubbed first dude by many, showed up in the front row of the dance floor.  Then a Wisconsin man shot his television in anger over Bristol’s success and there was a police involved scare at the studios.  This time around Bristol’s reality TV and life experience may have given her more expertise to apply to  the ballroom floor.  And she surely will no longer be billed as a “teen activist.”

Last time around the whining left complained that Bristol had an edge with her politico mom campaigning not only for her dancing daughter but for tea party candidates; Bristol finished third. (The tea party did pretty well, too.) So the question is will Palin’s presence revive the controversy — and high ratings — of her original competition in Season 11?

I’d say that is probably a yes and in a year when all eyes are on politics, Palin’s selection is without a doubt a surefire way to get “Dancing With the Stars” plenty of attention… especially if mom and dad stop by again.

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.

Ronald Reagan Tribute -- Bel Air Presbyterian Church

Ronald Reagan's church put this together to commemorate the birthday of Ronald Reagan. Unfortunately the war against the evil of liberalism is still alive and well, and we fight it even at Bel Air Presbyterian. The liberal Presbyterians are doing all they can to pervert the church from the inside out. Fortunately the conservative Christians are strong at Bel Air. Ronald Reagan loved Bel Air Presbyterian as I do...Enjoy!

She·PAC Calls on Bill Burton and the Obama Super PAC to Denounce Misogynist Bill Maher

MEDIA ADVISORY  -  March 7, 2012

As recently as March 1st Bill Burton, co-founder of Priorities USA Action SuperPAC, was promoting the views of a donor who referred to women in violent, hateful and derogatory ways. Today, we call on Mr. Burton to follow President Obama's lead and reject this language and messenger. Please see full text of the letter below.

Also, please help us spread the word about Obama’s million-dollar misogynist donor and share will all your friends:

Video:  Bill Maher: Obama's Million Dollar Man

Dear Mr. Burton:

Having watched President Obama’s press conference yesterday afternoon we find ourselves in agreement with him regarding the inflammatory issues that have arisen in the media. We are sure we can all agree we have arrived at what the President might call a "teachable moment".

We were pleased to see Rush Limbaugh apologize for his incredibly unkind and insensitive remarks towards women during his recent radio broadcast. These types of remarks towards women have no place in public discourse – they are wrong, and offensive.

It was an important gesture that President Obama approved the time in his schedule to place a call to the woman to whom the offensive remarks were directed. As parents of daughters ourselves, we were proud when we heard him say he took a personal stand on this issue with the hopes of always allowing his daughters the ability to have their own beliefs in the future. President Obama said, "One of the things I want them to do as they get older is to engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on."

President Obama has categorically condemned this sort of language against any woman. We are calling on you today to put the President's words to action by condemning the equally egregious and despicable behavior of HBO talk show host Bill Maher. Mr. Maher has a history of attacking women and recently attacked a host of women including a specifically violent attack at one woman who regularly, as the President says, “engages in the issues she cares about” and is a mother of three daughters and grandmother.

Mr. Maher, who disagrees with Sarah Palin's politics, has called her a litany of adjectives inappropriate to repeat in any setting and are of the most derogatory of terms reserved for only violent verbal hate crimes against women. We understand that he has donated $1 million dollars of his personal money paid to him through various businesses that thrive on the ratings of his hate speech to your Priorities USA Action to aid in your efforts to re-elect President Obama.

President Obama eloquently stated today in his press conference that, "all decent folks can agree that the remarks that were made don't have any place in the public discourse.”

We are certain you agree with him, as do we that these types of remarks have no place in our society and the people that unapologetically make them must not be allowed to purchase a seat at the table of public discourse. Therefore, we are calling on Priorities USA Action and you to live up to the standard set by President Obama and take Mr. Maher’s million dollars and pay it forward.

Prove to American’s that your group is run by “decent folks” that President Obama speaks of. Donate this money to a charity of your choosing that focuses on supporting abused women and children.

We look forward to your action and joining with the President in ending hate speech against women.

Respectfully,

Teri Christoph, Co-Chair of ShePAC
Suzanne Haik Terrell, Co-Chair of ShePAC
Tim Crawford, Treasurer of ShePAC

We know conservative women will fight to change America.

She-PAC is here to fight for them.

Join us in that fight.

Breitbart Lore, Speculation and Tributes

In Memoriam:

Andrew Breitbart – 1969-2012

One Falls Along the Way… Goodbye Andrew Breitbart

The outpouring of love and respect for Andrew Breitbart came from all sides as people heard about his untimely death (except from a few pathetic sources who have been excoriated from all sides.)

Greg Gutfeld, co-host of The Five and host of Redeye gave a great tribute to Andrew Breitbart on The Five the afternoon of Andrew’s death. Andrew Breitbart and Greg Gutfeld were friends and political cohorts with a like sense of humor. Gutfeld thanked Breitbart for his introduction of Greg to Fox. Then last night on Redeye they ran a one hour tribute to Andrew Breitbart who appeared on that show many times, including on the first two shows. Greg Gutfeld said of his friend: Breitbart was the spiritual leader of the modern conservative, libertarian cause.

Rush Limbaugh Attacks Media Over Breitbart Coverage: ‘Even in Death’ They Lie

Shocking Video: Andrew Breitbart’s Last Interview Was With Sheriff Joe Arpaio About Obama Eligibility, who gave a seminar about his probe of Obama’s birth certificate the same day Breitbart died.

InfoWars.com reports Breitbart died hours before planned release of damning Obama footage.

In a stunning coincidence, It appears Andrew Breitbart suffered his untimely death just hours before he was set to release damning video footage that could have sunk Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.

Around three weeks ago on February 9 during the ‘Blog Bash’ event in Washington DC, Breitbart made a prophetic comment that takes on a somewhat chilling nature given the fact that he died in the early hours of March 1st.

Speaking to Lawrence Sinclair of Sinclair News, Breitbart stated, “Wait til they see what happens March 1st.”

breitbart-death

Breitbart and his company were getting ready to launching a new site on Sunday, 03.05.12, that they have been working on for 2-years.  Andrew has been working around the clock and there is speculation that with his heart problems that schedule could have contributed to his death.  The site is set to launch on schedule.

Glenn Beck Puts Aside Any Past Differences To Eulogize Andrew Breitbart

The news of Andrew Breitbart’s passing took many by surprise. Only some people were live on the radio when it happened. That’s what happened to Glenn Beck and crew this morning. Stunned by the news, it took Beck a minute or so to collect his thoughts as he rushed through a number of reactions (including exclaiming that there needed to be an autopsy to check for foul play as well as a request that his co-hosts would do the same if he ever died suddenly). After that though, he reflected on his relationship to the man and what Breitbart contributed to the conservative cause.

It should be noted that, recently there had been tension between the two men. Breitbart accused Beck of “throwing [him] under the bus” during the Shirley Sherrod scandal and Beck’s The Blaze was one of the biggest critics of a recent video from Breitbart protege James O’Keefe. In fact, one wouldn’t be crazy to think the creation of The Blaze itself didn’t sit well with Breitbart

However, before any of that happened, Breitbart and Beck held each other in high esteem and, this morning, Beck made it clear that he wanted to go back to those times:

“People try to make a big deal out of this ‘feud’ I had with Andrew. I didn’t have one with Andrew, he may have had one with me, but I didn’t have one with him. I tried to do what I felt was right, and if people disagree with me, they disagree with me.”

Beck went on to tell the story of the first time he ever talked to Breitbart; a phone call in which Breitbart offered his Fox News show the first crack at the O’Keefe video that went on to create the huge ACORN scandal.

Beck finished by talking about the fact that his sites and Breitbart’s have since become rivals but made it clear there was no bad blood.

”Even though they’re a competitor of ours’, I hope the company goes on. They’ve broken a lot of stories. A lot of stories. We need more voices not fewer voices.”

Thomas Lifson, Editor - American Thinker.com

The bitterness of Andrew Breitbart's premature departure may be tempered if his courage inspires conservatives to press the case that President Obama's life story, as accepted by the media and McCain campaign in 2008, contains a series of discrepancies, frauds, and lies-by-omission. Americans have been had by a manufactured biography that does not bear close examination. Breitbart knew it, talked about it, and was the foremost public advocate of re-vetting the candidate who escaped serious scrutiny in 2008.

The overwhelming consensus of the GOP establishment is that Americans like Barack Obama. There is no profit in attacking him personally. Shut up about all the disturbing signs that he was groomed by a series of troubling mentors, centered his adult life on the Alinsky Left in Chicago, and had his career managed by ruthless pros who saw the electoral potential of an "clean, articulate black guy" with Ivy credentials, a slim build, and a terrific smile.  continue at American Thinker: LINK Here.

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.”

hippies1238824689

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.

After a few back and forth tweets, Scott ended up on the program to talk with Glenn about being a conservative in Hollywood, and what life has been like since admitting he was a fan of Glenn. That usually doesn't go over well in many places -- least of which California . Check out the conversation here. ( Transcript , Insider Audio )

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.

Actor Jon Voight: Obama is a disaster

June 10, 2009 - 10:51 ET

Jon Voight

GLENN: From Radio City in Midtown Manhattan, this is the third most listened to show in all of America. Hello, you sick twisted freak. Welcome to the program. I've got a lot for you today. We're going to go right to Jon Voight who is, you know, the big Hollywood actor and friend of the program. Hi, John, how are you?

VOIGHT: Hey, Glenn.

GLENN: So what are you doing, man? What, are you crazy? Saying that Barack Obama is a false prophet?

VOIGHT: Yeah, well, somebody's got to say it, Glenn.

GLENN: It's good not to be alone. It's good not to be alone.

VOIGHT: Well, you know, very important. Very important that people speak out because we're already in real trouble.

GLENN: You said at this big Republican fundraiser that Barack Obama is going to cause the downfall of the country.

VOIGHT: Uh huh.

GLENN: What do you mean by that?

VOIGHT: Well, I mean, you can see the evidence already. I mean, take a look at the unemployment figures, you know. They said they were going to top out at 8, you know, 8% and it's already up to 9.4%. And then, of course, as I said in a speech when they send Joe Biden out who is one of the great double talkers of our time, I said, who gives you a report that everything's fine and the figures are going in the other direction. But the fact is we're in real trouble.

GLENN: Have you been following what the Supreme Court did yesterday, they let this Chrysler deal go through, where we have abandoned our free market principles. I mean, George Bush said I've got to save the country by abandoning the country or the free market system, but this really is. Now we have abandoned the rule of law and who is going to be first in line with the bondholders, et cetera, et cetera. And John, last night I was watching the news unfold and I thought, we are headed towards all of the things that we've been talking about, that people have been saying for two, three years: Oh, Glenn, you're crazy, this is nuts. We're headed there. John, what is it going to take for people to wake up and say, we've got to stop going down this road?

VOIGHT: Yeah. Well, one really worries when people are going to wake up, they are so wed, the media generally is so wed to this liberal agenda and to backing up, you know, the hysteria that they got into in supporting Obama and brick him to the presidency. So they are going to hold onto that. But really you worry, you fear that something very staggering is going to have to happen. But it's already happening, Glenn. You just have to look at the evidence. We're in real trouble. And the answer continuously for Obama is to make another speech, to appeal to his, you know, to find out what people want, put it all in a speech, put it out to as many people as possible and that's his idea of governing the country.

GLENN: Are you more concerned about the economy and spending or are you more concerned about, for instance, the Middle East and Israel?

VOIGHT: Well, I'm concerned about all of that but I really, I'm really concerned about Israel. His attitude toward Israel really reveals that he knows nothing but the history of Israel and its importance to the United States. He spoke at Cairo University in a speech on June 4th and then he said there will be no dictating to other countries, you know, only forging partnerships and yet he certainly dictates to Israel to freeze all settlement activity which, you know, means no natural growth and that means strangling these towns to death, these thriving towns close to the 1949 armistice line that everybody, every negotiation over the past decade has envisioned Israel retaining. So he's really destroying their ability to negotiate and to give and recommending that Israel gives more land away. Hasn't he understood that every time Israel has given land in order to secure peace that all of the response has only been violence? Hasn't he understood all of this? That Gaza has attacked Israel, they gave Gaza as a peace gesture and, you know, Hamas has used it to attack the south of Israel? It's one wonders where he gets his information from and what his point of view is.

GLENN: John, why you're awfully passionate about Israel. I am as well.

VOIGHT: I am indeed, yeah.

GLENN: Why?

VOIGHT: Well

GLENN: Because there's a lot of people that will say, geez, these people having warring for 5,000 years, why should we even get involved? Why should we even care?
VOIGHT: Well, you know, certainly they are arguably our greatest ally in the world. We depend on their intelligence. We depend, we're very tied to them, and they are the only democracy in that part of the world. And there are other aspects as well. But when we look at, you know, what Hitler said, Hitler in Mein Kampf laid it all out, didn't he? There are some people who read Mein Kampf. Winston Churchill said, you know, they said, well, how did you know? He said, well, I read his book.

GLENN: Yeah.

VOIGHT: Well, we have heard Ahmadinejad and the Imam speak from Iran, wipe Israel from the geography of the land, from time. Israel is going to die they say. Aren't we listening? Are we taking them seriously or not?

You know, it's funny that you bring this up today because I was just meeting with the writers for television earlier this morning and I said this is where I'm headed today. And it's that very point. I was driving in this morning and I'm hearing all of the news and I keep seeing these signposts pass. Nobody has everybody is in denial on everything.

VOIGHT: Yeah.

GLENN: They are, "Oh, well, we're going to be able to grow our way out of it. Well, we'll have to spend some money temporarily here. Well, we can just make friends with these people and we are denying everything that people are actually telling us. Somebody said it was Gretchen Carlson from Fox News who I adore. She is going to be on later. She was on yesterday's show and she said, you know, Obama never said he would do these things. I said, yes, he has. Yes, he has. Nobody wants to say that the man is a Marxist. Okay, so he's not a Marxist. He's a progressive! This is semantics.

VOIGHT: Yes, it is.

GLENN: If you go back and you read what they said. What they said they were going to do in the early 20th century which Hillary Clinton in her own campaign speech said, you know, "I'm an early 20th century American progressive." If you read what they said they were going to do, they're doing it right now, and I feel like I read Mein Kampf as well, and when I read Mein Kampf, I read it because I wanted to know, did the German people know. Yes! Yes, they knew. Unless they were like, "Oh, well, no, he doesn't mean that," which is exactly what we're doing now. Everybody's just saying, "Well, no, they don't... Ahmadinejad really doesn't mean that." Or, "He's really not going to actually destroy the free market system." Yes, he is. Yes, he is.

VOIGHT: Oh, yes.

GLENN: So how do you wake people up, John?

VOIGHT: I don't know. I'm doing my best and you're doing your best for sure, Glenn. It really is frightening. I mean, when Obama says you don't know if you're hearing properly when he says that Iran is perhaps entitled to nuclear power. And after all of these statements.

GLENN: Yet we're not.

VOIGHT: We're seeing him head down this road. And you say, well, wait, we'll check in December and see how far it's gotten. It's so alarming, it's quite it's almost unbelievable that we're witnessing this kind of behavior.

GLENN: John, what is your life like

VOIGHT: Pretty good.

GLENN: Because you are in you're in the hornet's nest. You might as well just be covered in the honey.

VOIGHT: Well, you know, as I said in my speech and by the way, you know, it took me time to make a statement. I watched everything. But it's really, things are disastrous. Right now they are disastrous. Every move he's made has failed, and we're headed down this socialist road while, of course, you look at Europe. They have dipped their toe in it and they are turning around saying this is a dead end, this is disaster. And they are turning around and coming back. All of the elections in Europe now are returning conservatives to the seats and saying we don't want to go down that road

SPEAKER: I talked to a couple of experts on the progressive movement. I'm, I'm strangely making geek friendships with all these historians because I'm fascinated by the progressive movement because it's the roadmap for tomorrow. You will see your future. If you read the past, you will see the future. And they both said to me, you want to see our future; you look at Europe. There's no birthrates the birthrates, they're breeding themselves into extinction over in Europe. There's no religion over there. It's all dead religion. The healthcare is an absolute mess, the government's a mess. It's a world of political correctness where you can't say anything anymore. That's our future

SPEAKER: Yeah. Well, that's the situation here, no matter what Obama does. He's protected. Everything he does, no matter what they do or say, they're totally protected. Look at the black panthers in Philadelphia standing by the polling booths with, you know, with sticks. And they get away with it. With ACORN what ACORN has done, they are under indictment in 12 states for fraud. That's how he came in, under the back of a fraudulent behavior. And he gets away with it. No one's saying anything here. Everyone's covering because of their, you know, fastened to this liberal agenda which has proven to be a failure.

GLENN: There's a few people that are speaking out, there are a few. There's people like you, there's people like me, there are a few on television and radio that I think get it. Many people are still playing politics. When you were in this, when you were at this Republican fundraiser, you think they get it yet, John? Really get it?
Well, from the people I've spoken to, I think people are getting clearer and clearer, and I think this goes to the independent people and even people on the Democratic side. And I certainly, when I'm speaking, I'm hoping people are listening across the country, every citizen. We have to abandon this political correctness and start telling the truth. You know, people try to paint people like myself and you as, you know, rightwing looneys or something, you know. Whereas we're really speaking, most of the stuff we talk about, Glenn, is really actually classical liberalism.
GLENN: I know it is.

VOIGHT: Represented by Thomas Jefferson.

GLENN: It's freedom.

VOIGHT: And if we really want the answers, they have already been written. There's a document called the Constitution that's pretty well written. And if we can just go back to that and we can go back to the philosophy of the founding fathers, we've got a pretty good compass.

GLENN: Let me take you back full circle then at the beginning of the conversation. We had the Supreme Court yesterday pass on a case. Now, I have not heard. I've got a couple of people that are checking for me to see if we can get any inside sources. Maybe it's because they said this isn't the right case to overturn all of this nonsense, but they passed on it. There's no way to read what our government is doing as anything but hostile to the Constitution. You can't do what they've done with the GM and Chrysler deal, taking people out of line and playing right directly to special interests, special interests. I mean, you know, forget about the bondholders even. America, you bailed these people out against your will. Your representatives bailed them out and then they put the unions and the special interests ahead of even you getting your money back. They got double they got, what is it, 50 something cents on the dollar? What did we get? 24 cents on the dollar? Excuse me. I busted my ass and I have nothing to do with those companies. How come I'm paying? How come the average person is paying for that right now? It doesn't make any sense.

VOIGHT: Of course. So that's why the tea parties erupted. Because people are starting to get it, Glenn. They understand that this is

GLENN: Are you seeing anybody in Hollywood? And you don't have to name names. Are you seeing people in Hollywood waking up or more people willing to come to the table? I had a

VOIGHT: Yes, I do think more and more are I think those people who have been paying attention to it and understand are more willing to step out and I think that people are, you know, the, you know, their eyes are starting to see finally little by little what's going on. And they end up being confronted with questions. So let's see what happens. And obviously we're trying to there are many people out there that are speaking very eloquently and I listed a whole bunch of them at the speech. I don't know if you saw the entire speech at the convention.

GLENN: I didn't.

VOIGHT: At the House Senate dinner. But I mentioned your name, by the way. And I went through a whole litany of all the guys who are really

GLENN: What, are you crazy? I mean, you don't want to

VOIGHT: I want to be aligned with you, Glenn. Glenn Beck, I want them to

GLENN: I'm telling you, there will be a knock on the door and you'll say, "I don't know him. I swear to you I don't know him." John, it is good to be with you and talking to you. Thank you for everything that you've done.

VOIGHT: Thanks, Glenn. Thank you, too.

GLENN: You bet. We'll talk again.

VOIGHT: God bless.

GLENN: Jon Voight who is I think one of the only normal people in Hollywood and that's saying something, isn't it?

Ben Stein’s Final Column

clip_image001
For many years Ben Stein has written a biweekly column called 'Monday Night At Morton's.' (Morton's is a famous chain of Steakhouses known to be frequented by movie stars and famous people from around the globe.) Now, Ben is terminating the column to move on to other things in his life. Reading his final column is worth a few minutes of your time.

Ben Stein's Last Column... How Can Someone Who Lives in Insane Luxury Be a Star in Today's World?

As I begin to write this, I 'slug' it, as we writers say, which means I put a heading on top of the document to identify it. This heading is 'eonline FINAL,' and it gives me a shiver to write it. I have been doing this column for so long that I cannot even recall when I started. I loved writing this column so much for so long! I came to believe it would never end.

It worked well for a long time, but gradually, my changing as a person and the world's change have overtaken it On a small scale, Morton's, while better than ever, no longer attracts as many stars as it used to. It still brings in the rich people in droves and definitely some stars. I saw Samuel L. Jackson there a few days ago, and we had a nice visit, and right before that, I saw and had a splendid talk with Warren Beatty in an elevator, in which we agreed that Splendor in the Grass was a super movie. But Morton's is not the star galaxy it once was, though it probably will be again.

Beyond that, a bigger change has happened..? I no longer think Hollywood stars are terribly important. They are uniformly pleasant, friendly people, and they treat me better than I deserve to be treated. But a man or woman who makes a huge wage for memorizing lines and reciting them in front of a camera is no longer my idea of a shining star we should all look up to.

How can a man or woman who makes an eight-figure wage and lives in insane luxury really be a star in today's world, if by a 'star' we mean someone bright and powerful and attractive as a role model? Real stars are not riding around in the backs of limousines or in Porsches or getting trained in yoga or Pilates and eating only raw fruit while they have Vietnamese girls do their nails…

They can be interesting, nice people, but they are not heroes to me any longer. A real star is the soldier of the 4th Infantry Division who poked his head into a hole on a farm near Tikrit , Iraq . He could have been met by a bomb or a hail of AK-47 bullets. Instead, he faced an abject Saddam Hussein and the gratitude of all of the decent people of the world.

A real star is the U.S. Soldier who was sent to disarm a bomb next to a road north of Baghdad . He approached it, and the bomb went off and killed him..

A real star, the kind who haunts my memory night and day, is the U.S. Soldier in Baghdad who saw a little girl playing with a piece of unexploded ordnance on a street near where he was guarding a station. He pushed her aside and threw himself on it just as it exploded. He left a family desolate in California and a little girl alive in Baghdad.

The stars who deserve media attention are not the ones who have lavish weddings on TV but the ones who patrol the streets of Mosul even after two of their buddies were murdered and their bodies battered and stripped for the sin of trying to protect Iraqis from terrorists.

We put couples with incomes of $100 million a year on the covers of our magazines. The noncoms and officers who barely scrape by on military pay but stand on guard in Afghanistan and Iraq and on ships and in submarines and near the Arctic Circle are anonymous as they live and die.

I am no longer comfortable being a part of the system that has such poor values, and I do not want to perpetuate those values by pretending that who is eating at Morton's is a big subject.

There are plenty of other stars in the American firmament... The policemen and women who go off on patrol in South Central and have no idea if they will return alive; the orderlies and paramedics who bring in people who have been in terrible accidents and prepare them for surgery; the teachers and nurses who throw their whole spirits into caring for autistic children; the kind men and women who work in hospices and in cancer wards.

Think of each and every fireman who was running up the stairs at the World Trade Center as the towers began to collapse. Now you have my idea of a real hero.

I came to realize that life lived to help others is the only one that matters This is my highest and best use as a human. I can put it another way. Years ago, I realized I could never be as great an actor as Olivier or as good a comic as Steve Martin or Martin Mull or Fred Willard--or as good an economist as Samuelson or Friedman or as good a writer as Fitzgerald. Or even remotely close to any of them.

But, I could be a devoted father to my son, husband to my wife and, above all, a good son to the parents who had done so much for me. This came to be my main task in life. I did it moderately well with my son, pretty well with my wife and well indeed with my parents (with my sister's help). I cared for and paid attention to them in their declining years. I stayed with my father as he got sick, went into clip_image002extremis and then into a coma and then entered immortality with my sister and me reading him the Psalms.

This was the only point at which my life touched the lives of the soldiers in Iraq or the firefighters in New York . I came to realize that life lived to help others is the only one that matters and that it is my duty, in return for the lavish life God has devolved upon me, to help others He has placed in my path. This is my highest and best use as a human Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will.

By Ben Stein
