I think we can all agree that while not everyone in Hollyweird is alcoholic, drug addicted, child molesting, leftwing creep of a pervert, the number of those who are not is rather minuscule to say the least. And call me naïve, but I’ve always thought Matthew McConaughey, while not someone who you could call a conservative, was as least not one of your typical foaming-at-the-mouth crazy leftwing loons that Hollyweird has long been famous for. I actually thought he was one of the good guys. But alas, I was recently proven wrong on all counts and was once again made to look like a fool for actually believing that anyone in Hollyweird actually loves this country.
You see, it was during an appearance this past Tuesday
on FNC’s “Special Report” that McConaughey claimed that Americans in the
political extremes needed to be kicked “off democracy’s boat” while discussing
the possibility of gun control legislation after a mass shooting in his
hometown of Uvalde, TX. He said, “I’ve been talking to so many that are gun
owners, that own AR-15s, that are responsible gun owners. I hear so many of
them saying, yeah, pause after purchase. I like that idea. Hey, 18 to 21, for
that AR-15 style rifle, yeah.” Hey Matthew, why not 51, wouldn’t be even that be
even better? Where does this insanity stop?
Anyway, it was host, Bret ‘NeverTrumper’ Baier who said,
“You spoke today about how most of the country is kind of in the middle, one
way or the other.” McConaughey said, “I believe that. I think we’re being told
we’re more divided than we are. I think that the veil over the masses’ eyes, I
think we got the numbers. We got to pull that veil off, quit drinking the
Kool-Aid, because we’re hearing it from both sides, extreme right and extreme
left, and they have the microphone. I believe we have the numbers. The masses
have the numbers. We’ve got to take the mic back. Kick them off democracy’s
boat, and say, ‘No, no, no, you’re not steering this boat.'"
And he said, “I am much more aggressively centrist
like that. I believe the people I talk to on both sides are much more
reasonable about things than we are being told we are.” He’s a centrist?
Seriously? Who knew? It was earlier that very same day that McConaughey spoke
from the White House press room and it was from there that he proceeded to push
gun controls that would do nothing to stop mass shootings. He began by talking
about the victims; telling parents’ stories about the aspirations their
children espoused before being killed in the heinous attack. McConaughey then proceeded
to transition to parents’ desires that their kids dreams live on.
He also claimed to have spoken with “responsible gun
owners who won’t give up their Second Amendment right to bear arms” and he said
those gun owners said “we want secure and safe schools and we want gun laws
that won’t make it so easy for the bad guys to get these damn guns.” “Easy for
bad guys to get these damn guns?” What the Hell is he even talking about? He
then went on to say, “We know what’s on the table. We need to invest in mental
health care, we need safer schools, we need to restrain sensationalized media
coverage, we need to restore our family values, we need to restore our American
values, and….we need responsible gun ownership."
He then pushed for “background checks,” although the
U.S. has had background checks since 1998. He said, “We need to raise the
minimum age to purchase an AR-15 rifle to 21 [and] we need a waiting period for
those rifles.” He also pushed red flag laws. And he said, “These regulations
are not a step back, they are step forward.” It’s McConaughey’s preferred gun
controls that already exist in California, where they have universal background
checks, a red flag law, a 10-day waiting period on all gun purchases, a minimum
age of 21 for semiautomatic rifle purchases. And still it’s California that led
the nation in “active shooter incidents” in 2021.
And I found it particularly humorous that in
describing McConaughey’s rather strange appearance at the White House that Bret
the ‘NeverTrumper’ said, “I think that was an impassioned plea driven by he and
his wife and the visit to Uvalde and what they heard firsthand and all of those
stories and all of that, the people that those kids and those teachers were
going to be, Really in the structure of that presentation as you mentioned, was
as good as it gets to make a point.” And he went onto to add, “You know, his
specifics are, it seems like, a compromised position, and I think there are a
lot of Americans who get, can get around raising the age to 21 for AR-15."
Baier continued, “I think there are a lot of
Americans who can get around a four-day waiting period to make sure that, you
know, somebody just does not get it in the passion of the moment and does
something. I think red flag laws raise other red flags that we have seen in
other places. Maybe that gets worked out. But there are compromised positions
here, and I think Capitol Hill is working on this.” The only thing that Matthew
accomplished with his White House rant was to prove that without a script to
follow he’s little more than an incoherent boob just like every other boob in
his profession. Without words written by others he makes absolutely no sense.
I tell you what, when McConaughey starts showing up
to places like New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore or any other of our Democrat
controlled big cities where gun violence is rampant and pleads for criminals to
be prosecuted and jailed instead of being released almost immediately to
terrorize others, then I’ll care about what he says as it relates to gun
control. Until then, he can just go piss up a rope. He’s just another no-talent
schmuck who doesn’t pay your mortgage or your bills, but knows better than you
how you should be forced to live your life while looking down the barrel of a government
gun. He’s an entitled, willfully, willingly ignorant tool.
So how does McConaughey get to speak at the White
House? I’d like to speak at the White House! I’d like to ask: 1. Why can’t we
fund our schools to have the same safety measures as every courtroom in
America, using tax dollars that we send to places like Ukraine? 2. Why on earth
are we paying outrageous gas prices when our country is rich in oil that *president
‘Shitbag Joey’ won’t allow us to harvest? 3. Why won’t our *president take
questions from ALL press members, concerning our tanking economy? So MANY
questions we the people would very much like to have straight answers to! We
don’t need an actor’s voice heard…we need OUR voices heard!
All I hear about are “meaningful changes” to the Second
Amendment. But no one ever bothers to say what those “meaningful changes” might
be. And as soon as they do you realize one of two things, either A) they want
to take guns away from those who are legally able to both purchase and to
possess them, or B) they want to pass laws that would not change anything other
than to hurt only those who obey the Law. I honestly don’t think there is a
good answer for this issue. Not one that would be acceptable to either side of
the issue. You can make all guns illegal but, you are not going to stop anyone who
is intent upon doing bodily harm to others, from doing so.
Never do we ever get specifics or anything other
than platitudes. The corrupt government sticks their toe in the door, and a
million of them are behind to barrel right in. It’s these entertainers of every
stripe, ‘woke’ CEOs, should spend some of their millions on a two way pathway
in with armed guards, metal detectors, and an armed security person in every
single school. If people are worried that not enough exits exist for a fire, there’s
measures that can be taken. I just know it can be done. It’s in my humble opinion
that these are planned attacks and have been for years, just so that the movie
stars can come in and virtue signal. Stop going to his movies.
Finally, everyone needs to
remember that this guy is just an actor, nothing more. And one of the
requirements of those in his chose profession is to be able to fake one’s
emotions. You can never believe anything that you see or hear from these
people. They make their money from pretending to be something, or someone,
other than what or who they really are. And so, for McConaughey, this entire
charade was nothing more that just another role to be played, and one he played
to the hilt. And I have absolutely no doubt that it likely got a lot of laughs
there at the White House and away from the cameras. It was all bullshit,
nothing more, nothing less.
