I just want to clarify that I have no problem with the First Amendment rights of everyone in this country...I have no issues with Hollywood being able to say what they want nor am I trying to suggest they have their voices repressed for being anti-American. My issue is not that they can say what they want about Guantanamo, it's the fact that they do say it. I have an issue that they are choosing sides and that side is not with patriotism, American, etc....it's on the side of the terrorists and Islamic extremists.
My issue with why these people say what they say is they more than likely don't have a clue about what's going on there. I'd love to hear those people in Hollywood actually try to defend their stances with actual points, not a prerecorded speech, not with Hollywood glitz and glam, just intelligent points that make a good argument.
These are the same people that I saw in high school try to change the school mascot to something else from the "Warwick Warriors" because the term "warrior" associated with the image of Native American symbols is offensive. To me, being a warrior is something to be proud of. I'm a warrior willing to fight for my country, die for my country. It means I'm a man, not a bed wetting sissy. It's the same crowd of people who took being political correctness to an extreme. It's the same crowd who, in an effort do diminish discrimination and racism, recreated it against the white man with affirmative action. Instead of hiring the most qualified candidate, the company hires based on skin color to meet a federal regulation. That, in itself, is racism and discrimination.
It's the same group of people who want equal rights for gays and their marriage status. They want equal rights when it comes to relationships, but any time there is a crime committed against a gay person, it's a hate crime. You can't pick and choose when you want equal rights; it's all or nothing. You either get equal rights across the board or you don't. If you want equal rights in your relationships, they there are no hate crimes. Assault is assault whether your straight, bi-, gay, black, white, whatever. Otherwise, if you're an advocate for hate crimes carrying harsher penalties, then don't expect to get equal rights or treatment in your relationships.
That kind of got out of control and wasn't really a quick update, but this stuff just streams out as I'm tired of all the double standards and hypocrisies we see today.
