Rivers Of Tears From Malibu

Bully pulpit: Malibu and Silver screenMalibu mansions and the silver screen.What are the implications when political neophytes and buffoons like Streisand send Gephardt a fax on a policy issue?A lot of actors are uneducated in the academic sense. Does attending and completing a university undergraduate program, and/or obtaining advanced degrees mean a person knows more about public policy, culture, international relations, or politics? Of course not. Not at all. I believe "life educations, experience education, social education, travel education" is by far more relevant for personal growth and perception. In fact the classroom often is detrimental to a 'political' education. Each individual can go out and live, travel, speak, listen, read, and experience and then progress toward their own political and social identity, no matter what it may be.Many actors (not all) live in the high hills of Hollywood, or on the Malibu cliffs of the Pacific, living off of their creativity and hard work in the entertainment industry. And, deservedly so. Does that mean they are qualified to speak to millions of Americans via the media and tell us what is right, moral, and just? Who do these arrogant clowns think they are. If anything they should be humble. Martin Sheen publicly proclaimed Malibu to be a "refuge for the homeless" to come and live. OK....so....they will come to Malibu and sleep on the EDGE of his property. Will Martin Sheen feed them daily, or have his servants feed them. Will he let them in his house to stay? Will Mr. Sheen purchase land and start building homeless shelters and low-income shelters in his backyard? Martin....where have you been? You haven't done anything but spew your self-righteous superiority while doing NOTHING but TALK. Elitist multi-millionaire exclusive club members can claim to be "liberal, leftist" or anythin. With their financial conditions they can claim anything they want. They can say anything they want. And they don't have to do anything theydon't want to do. Activist leftists should literally whack their head off for such hypocrisy.

Leftist Hollywood Uncover

This book is great because it shows why the Libs in Hollywood are so hypocritical in their causes and shows why hollywood hates AMERICA. Also it shows why libs are so inclusive, intolerant, narrow-minded, judgemental, insensitive, and teach hate speech against flag and country loving americans like us.

This book will ... off the Left!

This is an awesome book. It clearly shows the "spoiled brat I'm better than you" attitude that they usually have. I'm sure that all Liberals in Hollywood will do nothing but denouce that book and say how it's a Right Wing Conspiracy full of hate. But, it's all truth, and, it's about time that we learned how stupid these people are! When these stars are on David Letterman, Jay Leno and other late night shows, they should be confonted with these things in this book, and an answer should be demanded from these people! Clearly, from this book, you can see that these Leftists Commies are NOT foreign Policy Experts!

Beautiful Expose of the Loony Left of Hollywood

It's about time somebody put the Hollywood airheads to account for their often misguided, uninformed and unAmerican stance towards many issues. It's a pity that in this land of entertainment media those with the littlest brains have the cameras rolling to gasp at their every word. They are not the bright lights when it comes to intelligence and I find it refreshing that Hirsen takes them to task.

Jim Hirsen Exposes Hollywood Boobylon!

James Hirsen, the "Left Coast Report" columnist for Newsmax.com, has parleyed his media contacts and research about the Hollywood Left into the most engaging account ever of Tinseltown's wacky ultra-liberal causes! Written in a fluid, racy, "can't-put-it-down" style, "Tales From the Left Coast" is nonetheless meticulously sourced, and covers every contemporary celluloid obsession from anti-fur hysteria to environmental extremism to the "reverse blacklist" (against Christians, conservatives, and Republicans) in LA LA Land. Highly recommended!!!
