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?

P-Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puffy, Diddy, Sean Combs, or whatever he goes by this week is afraid of Gov. Sarah Palin.

Sean Combs (since that is his name that is what I will call him) posted two video blogs on YouTube explaining his fear of Gov. Palin.

In this video Combs does a spoof on previous viral videos by hiding under his covers to proclaim to the world that he is scared of Gov. Palin.

I admit Gov. Palin’s answer to the Katie Couric’s question about which magazines and newspapers she regularly reads was not a great answer. I’m sure Barack Obama could have provided a much more eloquent response to that question.

I guess I would rather have someone in office who has had the ultimate responsibility of getting things done than someone who can provide “warm and fuzzy” answers to questions. Words are great, but words don’t get things done and bring about change.

Watch Sean Combs scared video. Don’t get too excited there really isn’t much content or any real entertainment value. Hmmm. kind of like most of his music.

In a previous video by Sean Combs explains “oh so eloquently” why he is scared of Gov. Palin.
Spoiler Alert: His reason. Alaska doesn’t have any black people?

It is comments like this that proves racism is alive and well in America. Rather than justify his fear with concerns for her policies, his basis of fear is the fact that the state she Governs has a low percentage of black people. In my opinion this is a racist view.

If this is not racist, then Combs should have been equally outraged when Al Gore was elected Vice President from the state of Tennessee. The percentage of Hispanic Americans in Tennessee was roughly the same as the Black population in Alaska. I don’t remember Mr. Combs professing his fear of Al Gore because he came from a state that has a low Hispanic population.

If we are to overcome racism in this country why can’t we consider the fact that Sarah Palin is the Governor of 600,000 people? Why not consider the fact that she has the highest approval rating of any Governor?

No, Combs only looks at the percentage of Black people in her state to determine her ability to lead.

Sean Combs’ opinion will not have any influence in my decisions. What say you? Leave your comment below.

John McCain canceled his appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman so he could head back to Washington and work to address the current economic crisis.

So in keeping with the spirit of Celebolitics, David Letterman shows us another example of the Liberal media bias we have in this country.

Here are my Top Ten Reasons why David Letterman is a flaming Liberal:

1. He feels his show is more important than the country.
2. He replaces McCain with another flaming liberal Keith Olberman
3. He wonders why McCain would rather go back to Washington and do his job and what the people of Arizona elected him to do.
4. Entitlement – Letterman feels he is entitled to have John McCain on his show.
5. Asked Barack Obama, “Have you ever put lipstick on a pig?”, as his hard hitting question.
6. Letterman thinks something is wrong with McCain for putting the business of the country before his show.
7. Barack Obama’s Late Show appearance = Letterman gushing and gitty
8. Said “Governor Palin has not handled a crisis in the past.” (Remind me what crisis Obama has handled as a community leader and Senator. Obama’s record of handling tough situations can be summed up by “voting present”.)
9. Thinks McCain wants to suspend his campaign because his poll numbers are “slipping”. Note to Letterman: Not all politicians are driven solely by polls.
10. He thinks Obama’s “sit back and do nothing” approach on the economy is more Presidential than McCain’s ability to prioritize and make tough decisions.

Watch Letterman’s comments and draw your own conclusion.

Lindsay Lohan decided to throw her had into the Celebolitics world by posting her views on Sarah Palin on her MySpace Blog.

She writes about Palin’s views on gay’s, “birth control” (a.k.a. abortion in Lohan’s world), sex before marriage, and children out of wedlock.

Lohan writes:

“I feel it’s necessary for me to clarify that I am not against Sarah Palin as a mother or woman.”

I’m glad Lindsay clarified that she is not against mother’s and women. I know there is a big movement out there that is against mother’s and women. We can officially put Lindsay in the camp that is pro-mother’s and pro-women.

Lohan continues to provide advise to Gov. Palin:

“Don’t pose for anymore tabloid covers, you’re not a celebrity, you’re running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!”

Now, I’ve never been on the cover of a tabloid magazine, but I would guess many of the photos included in these magazines are not at the request of the person photographed (unless you are a “celebrity”). I doubt Gov. Sarah Palin called up the people at US Weekly to schedule a photo shoot. Gov. Palin doesn’t need the trash magazines to keep her in the spotlight like many of Lohan’s Hollywood neighbors.

“Women have come a long way in the fight to have the choice over what we do with our bodies… And its frightening to see that a woman in 2008 would negate all of that.”

Is Lindsay making a comment about a woman’s ability to choose to kill an unborn baby? If that is the case, then I agree that Women have come a long way. A long, twisted and sick way to make it legal for Women to make the choice over the fate of an unborn baby. Hopefully, people like Gov. Palin will help turn us around on this twisted path we have taken.

The second part of this comment is another glimpse into why liberals are so afraid of a Pro-Life, Conservative Woman. The traditional feminist movement that Lohan clearly subscribes to is seriously threatened with Gov. Palins rapid rise and huge popularity with both conservatives and independents.

I find it ironic that Lohan is afraid of what Gov. Palin might do for the Women’s movement in this country. This coming from someone who has had multiple visits to rehab, arrested for possession of cocaine, and is quoted to have said, “It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs”.

I wish Ms. Lohan the best and hope she is able to get her life back on track. Maybe she should look at some of her views and see if they are to blame for her situation.

After watching John McCain‘s appearance on ABC’s The View, I am appalled at how disrespectful, smug, and downright rude Barbara Walters was to McCain. Walters interrupted McCain multiple times and made jabs at him under her breath.

McCain showed great class by not stopping and telling her to stop talking and let him finish answering the questions. It would have been a struggle for me to show as much patience he showed while being shown such disrespect.

The first question Walters asks is why he chose Sarah Palin as his VP pick. McCain goes on to explain that she “is a great person”, “a great governor”, “the most popular governor in America”, “she understands energy issues”, “she’s ignited a spark in America”, “she’s gotten people engaged in the political process”, and “she’s good for America”. In the middle of his explanation, Barbara quickly realizes that she just gave McCain the time to say all these nice things about Palin. Walters then interrupts his answer by saying “you are going to make me regret asking that question”.

I think that set the stage for the rest of the interview.

Barbara then goes on the attack by asking for specifics in how Gov. Palin will reform Washington. Has anyone ever asked Obama or Biden about specifics?

McCain calmly and systematically details out specific examples that show how she has reformed politics in Alaska.

Barbara, what specifically has Obama done in his time in the Senate? Let’s take a look at how you sought these policy specifics from Obama when he appeared on your show.

Nothing there… Let’s see if part two has your hard hitting questions…

Some mention of Obama’s relationship with Rev. Wright, but no real digging into Obama’s poor judge of character for 20 years. Maybe the hard hitting questions come in part three… Let’s see…

Still nothing… Maybe they save the hard hitting questions for last…

Wow. It was great to see that you have such great journalistic integrity when it comes to your political interviews. When you watch the McCain interview and compare it to the Obama interview it is obvious why one of the themes of the Republican National Convention was to bring light to the liberal media.

Not once was Obama interrupted or asked a specific question like Walters demanded of McCain during his interview.

Kudos to McCain for appearing on an obviously pro-liberal show. Once again, McCain shows that he is not afraid to be thrown to the wolves and do it with class. Have no fear, Obabma will have his turn during the debates to answer specific policy questions without the help of his teleprompter telling him exactly what to say.

The head to head debates will show the American people who is ready to be President and who just has the ability to be a really good speaker.

As for Barbara, I think she has already made up her mind.

What are your thoughts? Was Walters disrespectful of John McCain, or was her interview approach appropriate? Leave your comments below.

Matt Damon talks about his fear of Sarah Palin in a recent CBS interview (watch below). Damon fears her because he “doesn’t know anything about her”. Here is a thought… educate yourself and seek out the truth about Palin.

Here are a few of my own thoughts to some of Damon’s comments:

“I don’t know if in 8 weeks I am going to know anything about her.”

How long does it take to get to know someone? In less than 2 weeks, the media has dug up everything they possibly can. (and even made up some things along the way) How much did you know about Joe Biden before Obama picked him to be his running mate? How much do you know about Obama for that matter?

“She was governor of Alaska for less than two years. I don’t understand, I think the pick was done for political purposes.”

Obama has been a U.S. Senator for less than three years, and has campaigned for one of those years. So, if my first grade math serves me correct, that means Palin has two more years of executive experience than both Obama and Biden have combined.

I agree that McCain’s pick of Palin was partially politically driven. I would also venture to guess the reason was Obama did NOT pick Hilary was for personal reasons. Which is worse?

Hilary received 18 million votes and Obama didn’t even consider her for the number two spot on the ticket. McCain’s pick of Palin is turning out to be one of the best political decisions of his career.

“… a one in three chance, if not more, McCain won’t survive his first term.”

I think Matt has been reading too many left-wing blogs.

“It’s a terrifying possibility” (a Palin Presidency)

This is exactly what the liberals fear the most. A qualified, competent, NRA member, Christian, pro-life, Republican leader who just happens to also be a woman. The Democrats are “supposed” to be the one’s to shatter the glass ceiling for Women. It was Hillary (actually Geraldine Ferraro before her) who put the 18 million cracks in this ceiling, but Palin is close to officially do the shattering.

The “old” feminist movement doesn’t know what to do because there is a new feminist movement happening that is being led by an Elephant not a Donkey.

“I need to know if she really thinks dinosaurs were here 4000 years ago.

For someone who is in the celebrity spotlight, I would have thought Matt would have learned not to believe everything he reads. This rumor has been refuted.

See for yourself how many in Hollywood feel about the big bad hockey mom, Sarah Palin.

Voice your opinion. Do you agree with Matt Damon or do you feel Sarah Palin is not as scary as Hollywood wants you to think she is?

After a post on DrudgeReport.com that claims Oprah‘s staff is divided on inviting Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin on her show.

Shortly after this Drudge post, Oprah sent a statement to news organizations stating that her show has not had any discussion about having Sarah Palin on the Oprah Winfrey show.

In this statement, Oprah explains, “I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.”

After the campaign is over? After? Why not before? Now is when the Palin story is in the news.

Oprah has every right to leave Palin off the guest list, but I find it interesting that Oprah wouldn’t seek out a Palin interview as soon as possible.

I would have thought Oprah would be celebrating the history that has been made with Palin’s nomination by the Republican party? I give Oprah credit for sticking to her political believes and not opting for record ratings.

Obviously, the thought of allowing Palin access to Oprah’s soccer mom (and hockey mom) audience scares the Obama/Oprah camp.

What do you think? Do you agree with Oprah’s statement that she would love to have Palin on the show or do you feel she is showing bias?

Will.i.am from the band Black Eyed Peas was inspired to write and produce the song “Yes We Can” after listening to a 2008 Presidential campaign speech given by Barack Obama in New Hampshire.

Here he explains his thought process and how the song came about.

After reading him explain how he was inspired, I was intrigued to see what was his inspiration. If you haven’t heard the speech, you can watch it here.

The “Yes We Can” part of the speech starts around the 10:30 mark.

“It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the
destiny of a nation.”

“Yes We Can.”

“It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail
toward freedom through the darkest of nights.”

“Yes We Can.”

“It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and
pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.”

“Yes We Can.”

“It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the
ballot; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.”

“Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and
prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this
world. Yes we can.”

As I listened, I couldn’t help but think of another speech with a similar repetitive line. Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech used the same format of example and repeated theme.

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”

“I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.”

“I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.”

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

“I have a dream today.”

“I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”

“I have a dream today.”

After going back and reading Dr. Kings speech and comparing it to Obama’s “Yes We Can” speech one thing stood out to me. The “I Have A Dream” speech had a purpose, a specific calling that one day people would be treated equally not because of race or skin color, but because of humanity.

Obama’s speech was passionate and well delivered, but everything Obama mentioned was in the past. There was no clear purpose to what Obama’s change was. Change for the sake of change does nothing. Saying we need change, but not explaining what that change should be is empty.

I decided to watch the Will.i.am “Yes We Can” video to see if I could get some more specifics from it.

The video speaks to “justice”, “equality”, “opportunity”, and “prosperity”. Sign me up. I don’t think there is anyone in this great nation that does not want these.

Obama is inspirational. He is a tremendous speaker. Inspiration and amazing speeches can bring about change. But if the change it inspires brings the wrong change where does that put us.

The one take away from this video and this speech was the line “there has never been anything false about hope”. Again, I agree 100%. Hope is a powerful thing and is necessary to keep this country the greatest country in the world. But hope is nothing without a plan. A plan only brings about change with execution. And an executed plan that brings change is only beneficial when that change produces positive results.

If Obama can inspire so many people to change, he must have introduced amazing changes for the good of this country in his personal and short political live.

One change he voted against was the Illinois’ Born Alive Infant Protection Act that which would have protected babies that survived late-term abortions. These babies that were living outside the womb on their own would have been saved under this new act. Obama felt “No We Can’t” give medical attention to these innocent babies that were living and breathing human beings because this would “create one more burden on a woman and I can’t support that.”

One change Obama has made recently was his support of his pastor Rev. Wright. This change came after knowing Rev. Wright and attending his church for 17 years. Change is often made because it is required to further your political career.

In the world of politics, change is made by voting for or against legislation. A NY Times article speaks to Obama’s inability to make change by calling attention to his voting record.

I find it hard to believe that an agent of change, voted “present” (equivalent to “I’m not sure how I feel about an issue”) 130 times as a state Senator. Not much change happening there.

I am convinced that Will.i.am and the other 36 celebrities that appear in the “Yes We Can” video believe that Obama stands for change, and he does.

My concern is not knowing what that change entails because of his limited resume of change. His previous judgment that he has shown causes me concern for the change he may try to impose if he truly is an agent of change that he says he is and that the celebrities believe he can be.

Celebrities that appear in the video include:
adam rodriguez, alfonso ribeiro, amaury nolasco, amber valletta, auden mccaw, anson mount, austin nichols, aisha tyler, bryan greenberg, cliff collins, common, derek watkins, ed kowalczyk, enrique murciano, eric balfour, eric olsen, esthero, fred goldring, harold perrineau, herbie hancock, hill harper, john legend, john schaech, kareem abdul jabbar, kate walsh, kelly hu, maya rubin, nick cannon, nicole scherzinger, sam page, sarah wright, scarlett johansson, shoshannah stern, taryn manning, tatyana ali, tracee ellis ross, will.i.am

George Clooney on Liberalism vs. Conservatism.

“It’s quite amazing that ‘liberal’ nowadays has become a swear word as in the history of our country it always meant to be on the side of justice. It started with the witchhunt in Salem, the conservatives’ point of view was: ‘Burn them at the stake’, and the liberals’ point of view was: ‘There are no witches.’

And that’s how it continued with the civil rights movement and womens suffrage. The liberals were always right in the end.”

Thursday 9/4/2008, Keith Olbermann apologized to his viewers for showing his viewers a Republican National Convention video that showed a “graphic” video of 9/11.

Olbermann’s apology

Now watch the RNC video on 9/11

After watching the RNC video, it reminded me again what happened on that horrible day and why it is so critical that the radical Islamic crazies that continue to plan actions that are much worse than this be defeated.

Keith Olbermann what are you apologizing for? Do you feel that seeing those images from 9 years ago will bring back the anger and resolve this country once had to fighting this war? Do you feel that more and more people will realize that we need someone who has more than community leader “experience” and survived a “tough” couple of months winning the Democratic nomination for President?

The images shown in the video are no more graphic than images shown on MSNBC every night. America has become a soft, whinny society and needs to be reminded of what is at stake if we loose our focus.

Keith, thanks for once again showing how far Left your “News” organization has fallen. You give me another reason to turn off the television and do something more productive with the evening.
