roger,

after splitting hairs i think we agree on much. the hollywood hypocrisy element is the easiest. but where i will stick to my position is on the democrat platform of the last 25 years. in fact purists would submit that the “new deal” was the opening chapter. i would also add that i understand the allure that the elites of easy money find with being progressive. it feels good. everything for everybody. however they retain their protected status–they keep the dacha! they got their’s. the problem is i also know that it ultimately kills the golden goose. for proof look to europe. with my position i’m left with starving people who refuse to learn how to fish. unfettered capitalism is always the bad guy. who wants to support that in the public square least of whom would be actors.

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the
blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.”

Winston Churchill

now if you want to argue that down deep that the democrat position is really political but only appears socialist, ok. but as an outsider looking in listening to their goals and aspirations they certainly act-no pun intended-like card carrying socialists–excuse me, i forgot, progressives. a brief review of hillary’s original health plan is at best scary—jail time for doctors who refused to join the state run medical program while continuing to accept private cash payments. yikes. she may be the next president. fasten your seatbelts.

in closing i never suggested you were blind, i simply suggested you have your vision checked as regards socialism on the left–specifically hillary, pelosi and crew.
