Im an American. This has always been my favorite label, but of late even that has seemed to mean less and less. Being called an American used to carry with it a certain pride and esprit de corps that now apparently is dated and passe. How else can one explain the rash of America-haters in our midst who only claim pride in America if a Leftist resides in the White House, and can only back a war effort if the decision to go to war was that of a Democrat.
Im a Conservative. And I am also an actor who lives and works in Hollywood. Many of my friends advise me to keep that on the down-low, advise me to not speak up lest I scuttle any future employment prospects, so predominantly liberal is the entertainment biz. And yet I persist.
You see, Im one pissed-off dude.

God bless Gary Graham - he was in one of my fave cult movies ‘The Hollywood Knights.’
I hereby declare my independence from the small-minded, America-hating, race-bating, Christian-bashing, class-warfare-waging, politically-correct, collectivist, Liberal Hollywood establishment.
Anybody got a problem with that, Ill mapquest you directions to my front door, well settle it like men.
Signed,
GARY GRAHAM

Dayum. Gary Graham from 'Star Trek' and 'Alien Nation'. I hereby officially like this guy.
From Moscow to Tehran, Caracas to Beijing, London to New Delhi, in virtually every world capital, foreign leaders and their intelligence services are making judgments about the next leader of the Free World. They learned something about his wisdom, seriousness and maturity this week when he picked Leon Panetta, a man with intelligence-deficit disorder, to head the CIA. Perhaps they also had a little chuckle when he chose a TV celebrity doctor to become surgeon general to deal with bioterrorism and possible pandemics.
Oliver North
He’s coined a new acronymn (OK, two) FTS and POA.
I’m as short-fused and as testy as he is nowadays and for the same reasons. Luckily, I can get away with it because I AM a craky old fud.
It’s nice to hear a Hollywood actor display a MIND OF HIS OWN. The glazed, vacant, “me-too” stares of the majority of the Hollywood celebrity culture is very tiresome and causes a lot of ordinary people to drop out of the movie theater scene as we did thirty years ago.
Proof that conservatism is still alive everywhere you go, if you can find it in Hollywood....
In Hollywood, being a conservative, as we know is a career disadvantage, and being a weak or milque-toast one will get you completely ignored.
In Hollywood it is therefore best to be a brash and in-your-face Conservative. Sure, the Sean Penn’s may react, but they don’t really matter after all. It’s the bosses, producers, etc.., who only care about image and making money, who will in fact take notice.
Along with Gary Sinise, I now have another favorite actor.
I like this guy.
“...Liberal Hollywood establishment.

Gonna need a bigger map, won’t be enough from the first line to show up.
Good on ya Gary.
Navy:
Was wondering if you as a Navy man and a Conservative have seen or are planning t see Clint’s new Movie, Gran Torino...
It appears to have some potential with Clint and the reviews are excellent so I want to go this weekend, but if it turns into a “can we all get along” movie at the end, I don;t think I can handle it...
Any thoughts???
GOP Mike
Wow! Awesome!
WOW. AM I IMPRESSED.
Thank you Mr. Graham! Well said! Thank you : )
