Well in what shows just how out of touch today’s “movie stars” are with those of us whom they depend on to see their idiotic movies, a number of big names from the entertainment industry have made significant contribution not only to Barry “Almighty’s” campaign for a second term in office, but to the Democratic National Committee as well. According to the campaign contribution data on the OpenSecrets.org Web site, actor George “Loony” Clooney is renewing his support for Barry “Almighty” in 2011 with a $2,500 contribution for the primary and another $2,500 donation for the presidential race – total $5,000. Clooney’s contributions are up from the maximum individual donation of $2,300 that he gave Barry in the 2008 campaign. But “Loony” Clooney is but the tip of a very big, and one that very obviously drifts to the left, iceberg.
Under federal election campaign finance law for 2011-12, an individual may give $2,500 to each candidate and $30,800 to a national party committee, such as the Democratic National Committee (DNC) or the Republican National Committee (RNC). “Loony” Clooney gave the maximum $30,800 to the DNC, the same day he gave the two donations for the Barry primary and general election. Tom Hanks, a two-time Oscar winner for Best Actor, is also, like Clooney, renewing his support for Barry. Hanks gave two $2,500 donations to Barry on Apr. 26, 2011. He also gave the maximum $30,800 to the DNC that same day. Actor Michael Douglas, who recently renewed his role as Wall Street wizard Gordon Gekko in “Money Never Sleeps,” donated $2,000 to Barry. Michael’s father, Kirk Douglas, evidence that he’s as stupid as he is old, gave the maximum $2,500 to Sen. Diane Feinstein.
Filmmaker Steven Spielberg, a big fan of Fidel Castro, went above and beyond, giving $30,800 to the DNC, $8,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on July 31, and two $2,500 donations to Barry “Almighty.” Spielberg also gave the maximum $2,500 to Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), two $2,500 donations to Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), another $2,500 to Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), and another $2,500 to Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.). Some of Spielberg’s esteemed fellow filmmakers joined him in directing their contributions toward Democratic causes. Director Ron Howard gave $1,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, while Rob Reiner, proving he’s still a “Meathead” and Cameron Crowe donated $5,000 and $500, respectively, to the same committee. Crowe also contributed the yearly maximum of $2,500 to Barry.
Over on the music side of the house we have those who comprise the primary cause for my being unable to remember the last time I bought someone’s “album.” I honestly cannot remember that last time, other that for a various number of country signers, I went out and purchased a collection of songs by anyone. We have singer-songwriter, and well-known burnout, Neil Young who gave the maximum: $30,800 to the DNC, and two $2,500 donations to Barry. Neil’s wife, Pegi Young, who must also be a victim of reduced mental facilities, also gave the maximum: $30,800 to the DNC and two $2,500 donations to Barry. And then we have that five-time Grammy Award winner James Taylor who proudly matched Young’s contributions to both the DNC Services Corp. and Barry, giving the maximum annual contributions.
I fail to understand what it is that these useful idiots hope to accomplish by the making of these very significant contributions to both Barry and the Democrat Party. It was the many heroes of Barry who, in their attempts to seize power, made sure that the first ones exterminated were those who perceived themselves as being “artists.” As I have said before it is characters like those mentioned here, that forms the basis for my no longer being willing to cough up the price of a movie. And when I do go, which is rare, when I get home I feel like I need to take a shower because I feel so dirty. When I do go to the movies I don’t feel like being lectured to, I go because I want to be entertained. But entertainment no longer seems to be the rationale behind making movies. I need to be taught something about global warming, evil corporations or some other nonsense. Going to the movies just is any fun anymore.
