In the flap over Meryl Streep and a few others showing their
asses at the Golden Globes Narcisism awards, I think it important to give
credit where it is due, to people in that field that have their heads on
straight. One of those is Mark
Wahlberg. Wahlberg is best known for his
role in “Boogie Nights”, “Wahlbergers” and the new Boston Marathon movie, and
is that rare find, an America supporting American in “the arts”.
Wahlberg, if the memes are to be trusted, said of his
Hollywood bretheren “they (meaning us common people) may see your movie, or buy
your CD, but you don’t do anything for them, you don’t put food on their
table.” And THAT right there is what
SHOULD invalidate the opinions of the leftists in the “arts”, when it applies
to the qualities and motivations of others in the nation. Because you see…..we can ALL live without a
bad Meryl Streep movie (or a good one), but we cannot all live without food and
water. And I am pretty damned sure that
Streep and her ilk are not up to working the land. Yeah, a good movie is a good movie….a good
steak is survival. And I do not think
Kanye, Beyonce, Meryl, grasp that shit……their utility to the nation, to the
people, is at the discretion of the people, nothing they do is a
necessity…..sort of like the Environmental Protection Agency, or the IRS. So it is extremely offensive, to say nothing
of down right stupid, for a Streep, or our friend Byerley, or Obamacare
architect Jonathan Gruber, to talk down on the lifestyle, life choices, or life
calling of people that have something they need, when they provide nothing that
the common man needs.
When this nation collapses in disarray, it will not be
because of a year of bad pictures out of California (or it would have
happened), it will be because of a failure of a corn crop. It will not be because I did not see
“Hamilton”, but because there was no fuel for my furnace. And it damned sure won’t be because I
couldn’t hear Kanye’s latest nonsense, but because I didn’t have the
electricity to play his nonsense (not that I would). Remove Hollywood, and the show business
industry, and we are left with what I bemoan all of the time…..people that
don’t know how to do shit. In the big
scheme of things, when I am budget cutting, entertainment is a lot higher on my
cut list than is dinner.
Whalberg makes a succinct, well delivered, irrefutable
point; the Meryl Streeps of this world depend on the common man to survive, to
have food on the table, far more than the common man depends on her or
them. So exactly how is it that
Hollywoods denziens think that they get a vote in….anything?
Or better yet…..that we CARE about their vote? Idiots have ruined the nation, from the
highest level of government to the most crime ridden slums…and it really is
time for them to shut up and quit screwing things up.
And that includes Meryl Streep.
