Prop 8 = Love vs. Hate?
December 6, 2008 by Celebolitics - Celebrity Politics · Leave a Comment
The Celebrities in this video seem to equate Proposition 8 voters with spreading hate and circumventing the separation of Church and State.
I guess the 6,838,107 people who voted for Prop 8 in a democratically held vote are bigots and full of hate.
Neil Patrick Harris concludes the video with explaining that legalizing Gay Marriage will pull us out of a recession because of the all the money that would be generated from the weddings.
I guess Jack Black’s push to legalize marijuana would also help the economy and reduce the deficit through additional sales tax collection.
Over an over Celebrities use their Celebrity to get their message out of what they feel the true Christian political agenda is.
Listen to Ed Young, the pastor at Fellowship Church, as he does a great job of explaining how the Bible teaches Christians to shape their political views.
Do you think the passing of Prop 8 was a result of Christians and Non-Christians hating Gays, or do you think it passed for some other reason?

Clint Eastwood Political Quotes
In January 2005 at National Board of Review awards dinner in New York City, Eastwood stated that “he would kill” the liberal filmmaker Michael Moore if ever Moore showed up at his home with a camera.
“At Waco, was there really an urgency to get those people out of the compound at that particular time? Was the press going to make it look heroic for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms? At Ruby Ridge, there was one guy in a cabin at the top of the mountain. Was it necessary for federal agents to go up there and shoot a 14-year-old in the back and shoot a woman with a child in her arms? What kind of mentality does that?”
When he was asked: “How would you characterize yourself politically?” Eastwood answered, “Libertarian - Everyone leaves everyone else alone.” - LibertarianRock.com

Charlton Heston Political Quotes
“As NRA president he is perhaps best known, while raising an antique Sharps Rifle over his head at the 2000 NRA convention, for saying that presidential candidate Al Gore would take away his Second Amendment rights “from my cold, dead hands”.
“… Mr. Clinton, sir, America didn’t trust you with our health-care system. America didn’t trust you with gays in the military. America doesn’t trust you with our 21-year-old daughters, and we sure, Lord, don’t trust you with our guns.”
“… Now his positions track the N.R.A.’s. Trigger locks? “A ludicrous invention. If you can’t put it on a weapon without taking the bullets out, why put it on?” A five-day waiting period? “It’s hard for me to accept that a guy says, ‘I’m going to kill that s.o.b., but, darn, I have this five-day waiting period.’ He probably still wants to kill him after five days.” Ban Saturday-night specials? “The black and Hispanic women who clean office buildings until 3 a.m. and then walk home ヨ of course, they want a handgun in their purse.” Limit purchases to one gun a month? “It’s the camel’s nose in the tent. Look at Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Idi Amin ヨ every one of these monsters, on seizing power, their first act was to confiscate all firearms in private hands. …”
“… The Founders’ intent in framing the Second Amendment is perfectly clear and undeniable. Thomas Jefferson wrote, “No man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” Some anti-gun elitists declare this notion outdated. However, many constitutional scholars from this country’s most prestigious universities agree that the Founders’ intent is clear and irreversible: To “keep and bear arms” is a right for all law-abiding citizens. …” - NY Times
“… There’s no such thing as a good gun. There’s no such thing as a bad gun. A gun in the hands of a bad man is a very dangerous thing. A gun in the hands of a good person is no danger to anyone except the bad guys. …” - Meet the Press 1997
Charlton Heston Political Views
August 28, 2008 by Celebolitics - Celebrity Politics · Leave a Comment
Charlton Heston (born October 4, 1924) is an Academy Award-winning American film actor noted for heroic roles and his long involvement in political issues. Heston was born John Charlton Carter in St. Helen, Michigan to Lila Charlton and Russell Whitford Carter. He was raised in the north woods of Michigan, where he enjoyed hunting, shooting, and fishing.
In his earlier years, Heston was a Democrat, campaigning for Presidential candidates Adlai Stevenson in 1956 and John F. Kennedy in 1960. A civil rights activist, he accompanied Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights march held in Washington, D.C. in 1963. In 1968, following the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Heston appeared on The Joey Bishop Show and, along with fellow actors Gregory Peck, Kirk Douglas and James Stewart, called for gun controls to be introduced by Congress. Heston later changed his stance and was elected President of the National Rifle Association of America.
In the 1980s, however, Heston began to support more conservative and libertarian positions on such issues as affirmative action and gun rights. He has campaigned for Republican candidates and Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.
Heston has been harshly criticized by advocates of gun control. Michael Moore interviewed Heston in his home in the 2002 documentary film Bowling for Columbine asking questions of him regarding NRA meeting being held in Denver, Colorado in April 1999, shortly after the Columbine high school massacre in nearby Littleton.
He is also an opponent of abortion and gave the introduction to a pro-life documentary by Bernard Nathanson called “Eclipse of Reason” which focuses on late-term abortions.

Political Quotes
“Bush wasn’t elected, he was selected - selected by five judges up in Washington who voted along party lines.”
“Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately.”
“Everything that Bush touches turns to manure in public policy.”
“I wanted to be president of the United States. I really did. The older I get, the less preposterous the idea seems.”
“Sometimes, you know, the president is a father-like figure in American society, to most Americans, even today, no matter how cynical we’ve become. And people don’t want to think that daddy’s a bum all the time. They don’t want to think that Daddy’s a liar, a cheat and a fraud.”
“…(following the impeachment of Clinton) all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death! We would stone him to death! Wait! Shut up! Shut up! No shut up! I’m not finished. We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families.”
“I never made that statement [about leaving the country if Pres. Bush was elected], but you can tell Gov. Bush to rest assured that I’m not going to leave the country because we have to get him out of office and we have to get his brother out of office in 2004. We’re not resting until we get that done. Bush wasn’t elected, he was selected ; selected by five judges up in Washington who voted along party lines.”
