Give me Liberalism or Give Me...

Give me Liberalism or Give Me...
by Robert Yoho

When the colonists were seeking their freedom from England, Patrick Henry boldly proclaimed, "Give me liberty or give me death."

Actor Alec Baldwin, husband and current main squeeze of actress Kim Basinger, recently stated that he would move out of the country if George W. Bush is elected President of the United States. In essence he has said, "Give me liberalism or give me England...or Switzerland...anywhere but here."

Baldwin is just the latest member of the pampered, overpaid, and underworked actors in Hollywood to throw a temper tantrum. Director Robert Altman has already said that he too will leave if Bush becomes president.

All I have to say to that is: "What a country!" We get rid of the liberals in the Oval Office and we help to clean up the streets of Hollywood with a single vote. I personally think it would be great if Alec Baldwin leaves the United States and takes the whole Baldwin clan with him.

Can somebody please explain this hysteria to me? What would be the worst that might happen to Hollywood if Bush was elected?

At the very worst, Bush might make it illegal for Baldwin and Basinger to kill any of their future offspring only moments before birth, by having a doctor plunge a pair of scissors into the baby's skull. Perhaps that is what Elton John--a man who is not even an American citizen--meant when he said that a Bush presidency might take America back to the Dark Ages.

If Bush becomes president, then the historic and storied White House might see a night go by without some member of Tinseltown jumping up and down--or otherwise engaged--on the mattress in the Lincoln Bedroom.

Another fearful aspect of a Bush administration could be that his tax plan would allow the pampered Hollywood elites to keep more of what they earn. That would certainly be a bad thing for the pampered Baldwin brats.

Alec Baldwin is the man who went on a late night talk show and suggested that we needed to kill Rep. Henry Hyde. He said we needed to stone Hyde's wife and children. This is a man who wants to kill people who do not agree with him politically. Then he has the nerve to portray Robert Jackson, the chief American prosecutor of Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg Trials.

So who are the ones behaving like Nazis?

The Communists and the Nazis were the ones who wanted to gas and murder those who did not agree with their beliefs, race, or politics. It is certainly not the disciples of compassionate conservatism you need to fear.

Spike Lee, another member of the loving and compassionate Hollywood elite, suggested that we needed to shoot and kill Charlton Heston. Now that is compassionate liberalism for you!

Rosie O'Donnell hates guns; she hates them almost as much as she hates conservatives. O'Donnell believes that everyone who owns a gun to go to jail--everyone but her child's personal bodyguard. She does not believe that middle class American deserve the same kind of personal safety and protection that Rosie's status affords her family.

And on another frontier of enlightenment, you have CBS's Craig Kilborn. Kilborn went on his late night talk show and made jokes about the possible assassination of George W. Bush. Yet he still keeps his job and suffers no penalty for his behavior.

Tell me why we should care if Baldwin leaves. Tell me why America should heed the word of Elton John, or any other loud-mouthed crumpet cruncher from jolly old England. Then tell me what Baldwin and Altman fear from a GOP victory in November. It is Al Gore and Joe Lieberman who are talking tough about restricting the sex and violence in the movie and television industry. And all of us know that it's only talk.

Conservative Republicans are not the ones advocating violence, jail sentences, brain washing, and mayhem against those who challenge their ideology. That comes from the liberals. Conservatives do not wish to kill their enemies; they merely wish to see the liberals soundly defeated in the arena of ideals.

So Alec Baldwin will flee the United States if a Republican becomes the next president. Cry me a river! And good riddance! America just got one more good reason to vote for George W. Bush.
