tl/dr: I'd like to see some real bravery from the folks in Hollywood, and I'd like to see it rewarded.

I thought my abject revulsion towards Hollywood could not grow any larger, but somehow, the contention that they refer to yet another of their neverending attacks/smears towards Palin, the universal punching-bag of the ruling-class elites, as constituting an act of “bravery”... is just so Orwellian beyond belief. To the point of being grotesque beyond words.

I suppose David Letterman equally shows incredible bravery and courage when he dares to make a Palin joke? Wow, how daring and courageous. Pin a medal on him. This is sheer insanity. These people are not bucking the ruling order... they are SERVING and doing the bidding of the ruling order, like lowly slaves and handmaidens. Brave? They are the lowest of cowards.

Real heroes don’t need scripts.

Hollywood wants to give the impression that conservatives are mean and powerful and that standing up to them takes “bravery.” It’s actually the opposite.

For some reason, it reminds me of when O.J. Simpson’s “dream team,” (Johnnie Cochran, etc.,) came into the courthouse every day surrounded by bodyguards. They wanted to give the impression that those who disagreed with them were mean and dangerous. That’s what I think Hollywood is doing when they call themselves “brave” for displeasing conservatives. “Look at me; I dared to stand up to those cruel, powerful conservatives! I’m so brave!” Meanwhile, the only thing that happens to them is getting awards and pats on the back from their peers.

I never watch any of the mutual admiration functions that Hollywood sponsors to inflate their egos. But I did see some news clips on Fox News about the Golden Globe affair. Am I the only one that noticed how many girly-men now occupy Hollywood. I remember when Hollywood was filled with former war heroes earning their living acting in wholesome movies that the entire family could watch. Movies that attested to the goodness and greatness of our country. Now you probably couldn’t find one of these girly-men that has even served in the military. Hollywood gets none of my money. I won’t pay to watch the trash that they now offer.
