Jimmy Buffet Rocks our Coast

[cmdrost]

Always loved JB.....his current views shouldn't really come as a shocker considering he's been living the life of the rich and famous like all other Hollywood leftists....the entertainment industry has never had a very vocal conservative come out of it.

regardless, it was a great show and a good thing he did to try to boost the Gulf Coast. We had some friends there and we thought about going but bailed last minute. Sounded like a fun night!

Ronald Reagan?

Actually, there are quite a few these days. It just gets you blacklisted in Hollywood if you are a vocal conservative, but there are a few that I can think of off the top of my head, including Gary Sinese, Sylvester Stallone, Kelsey Grammar, Tom Selleck, Dennis Miller, Kut Russell, Ben Stein, Stephen Baldwin, Drew Carey, Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson, Dennis Hopper, Patricia Heaton, etc. Can't think of others right now, but I heard quite a few Hollywood celebs step up during the 2008 elections supporting McCain over Obama.

Oh, and Arnold Schwartzeneger and Lou Farigno.

Don't forget Bill Cosby. I loved the speech he gave a couple of years ago blasting a certain 'segment' of society for always standing there with their hands out to the government. His idea is that the more people depend on entitlements/welfare, the more they enslave theirselves to the government. He was also very critical of these 'deadbeat' dads that go around having babies and not hanging around to raise them. He has the nads to stand up against the Hollywood mentality...
