Stoos Views

It was on my birthday that I heard the good news. Susan Sarandon–half of the Hollyweird Power Couple whose views on politics, the direction of the country, and how stupid the American middle class is for electing Republicans to office are routinely ignored by 99% of all Americans–declared that she would leave the United States if John McCain were elected in 2008. This was my best present ever.

Aside from the fact that:

1.         McCain is the only candidate with any military experience, in this most dangerous time in American history;

2.         McCain is the only candidate with proven character. He spent five years in a North Vietnamese prison after crash landing, suffered broken arms and legs and thereafter was tortured mercilessly by his captors at a time when Obama was riding a tricycle and Hillary was dating boyfriend Bill in college. Of course, the press seldom mentions that McCain “re-upped” for his stint in prison, having had the chance to leave early and declining because his compatriots did not get an early out;

3.         Hillary’s husband desecrated the White House the last time he occupied it and will again if he is left to wander around in there for another four years;

4.         Obama is a closet socialist who–since has never done anything remarkable and has no track record–should be judged by the company he keeps, to wit: “Uncle Frank” (his communist mentor from Hawaii), Bill Ayers (a homegrown terrorist who still loves to wipe his feet on Old Glory), Bernardine Dohrn (Bill Ayers’ gal pal and fellow terrorist), and Pastor Jeremiah (a black liberation AmeriKKKa-hating minister whose radical sermons Obama just never heard);

5.         Obama wears a flag pin only when people point out that he does not wear one, and whose right hand just never finds his heart when the national anthem is played; and

6.         Obama would love to talk to those who would wipe Israel from the face of the earth and who hold that the Holocaust never happened; while McCain understands that evil must be defeated and not appeased;

 the number one reason why McCain must win, is that–if he does–Susan Sarandon will leave the country.  God bless her for standing up for her principles. I hope she really means it. I, for one, am sick of these vacuous, self-absorbed, America-hating prima donna actors who only say that they hate America, but sort of like the millions of dollars they make in this the worst of all countries on earth, and just never leave this awful place. I think Susan really means it. And for that, we should all be thankful. After all, what are actors but a simple diversion from the reality of life? We really do not expect or want much from them. We simply want to pay a few bucks for a movie ticket, to be entertained for a couple of hours, eat popcorn, drink a soda, and then leave. After that, we just want them to shut up. We do not want their advice on how to live; we do not want their advice on how to think. We certainly do not want their advice on morality or marriage; we do not want them to advise us on how to raise our kids, or tell us how to live here in Middle America, where we may be a little dull but, unlike Hollywood actors, aren’t a quarter inch deep. 

            We have had enough of Barbara Streisand telling us to hang out our clothes on clothes lines to save energy. We have had enough of Leonardo DiCaprio  telling us to conserve energy as he arrives at the Earth Day rally in a stretch limousine. We have had enough of Harry Belafonte, who made millions singing cheesy calypso tunes, lives in a pricey house with all the comforts this wonderful country has afforded him, and yet who cannot resist the temptation to trash this country and its leaders at every opportunity. And we have certainly had enough of Susan Sarandon and her views on America. So, “God bless Susan and God bless America.” If she just cannot stand it here, all I can say is: “Have fun in Canada, eh?” or Italy, or wherever she is going. I hope other Hollywood actors who likewise cannot stand it here, will take their millions and their opinions that interest no one and just leave.

So, Susan…thanks for the birthday present. By the way, did you say you are taking Tim with you?
