You've learned a few tricks from MM...such as quoting out of context. The very next statement says..."How often does the average American have access to that kind of influence?"

The average American...you know...the citizens of any political stripe. How many average Americans agree with the political views being spouted by these Hollywood dingbats? Or do you believe that those who booed and walked out on Ronstadt were all Republicans?

I quoted nothing out of context. I addressed the point with a counterpoint. The rest of the sentence had nothing to do with the point at hand, celebrity political endorsement.

Linda Ronstadt used her celebrity status to address her political view. The fact that view was a liberal one is what the uproar is about. Had it been a conservative remark I doubt there would have been the same reaction.

When Tom Selleck, Will Smith, Shannon Doherty, Rick Schroder or Kelsey Grammar give pro Bush remarks , you don't see the same reaction from liberals. I believe 1 current celebrity has gone so far as (now get this as an abuse of celebrity status) getting elected governor of his state and another did the same thing to gain a Senate seat.

The point is, it is OK to use your celebrity status as long as it is conservative. That is called hypocrisy.

AFAIC that's the whole point.

I'm suprised anyone even had the guts to bring this up in the first place.

Linda says some stuff you don't like, and you completely freak out. I mean totally lose yer ***** freak out.

That, to me, says just about everything.

Please tell us of the source of your education in political philosophy? I suspect it consists of talk radio and not much else.

we live in a republic, not a democracy. Any time you want to compare education credentials, fire away.

The US is a liberal democracy, cripes just look definition already provided.

First year Political Science, Carleton University.

PS: "A republic is a form of government (and a state so governed) where a monarch is not the head of state. The word is derived from the Latin res publica, or "public affair", and suggests an ownership and control of the state by the population at large. The concept of democracy, however, is not implicit to that of a republic. The republican form of government may involve a limited democracy, where such rights are available only to a limited group of people. In some cases, a republic may be a dictatorial or totalitarian state. The term is also broad enough to include representative democracies."

PPS: Regarding the threads topic and the various and sundry responses to it I will say this, the US is going insane.

I guess I could cite several sources that refer to it as a republic, but you guys wouldn't learn anything if I wrote it on a brick and threw it at you.

Thrawn, I hope you're not judging Americans by what I said.

The good thing about insanity is, no one asks you to explain.

I found that for a democrats to get ahead in life they need a GED, welfare, Quotas, my TAXES, a good drug connection and a lying democratic pollition, say Kerry! to wishy washy, hmm, clinton! to much woody, and his *****! to many blond moments, kennady what a drunk!, and the vice president wanna be, just a wanna be.

I would like to thank bush for going to war and to start to do something, anything! to take the war to the terrorist. We had to wait 8 years so this could be done.

Also thank you for allowing me to carry a fire arm in the cockpit.

Sandy Berger is still trying to cover for clinton, he got caught wish his panties stuffed.

I would also like to thank bush for the huge tax cuts and low interest rates on my huge home loan. This never happened with any liberal party.

For a democrat in order to join the military, the Judge says either you join the military or go to jail. Its about time they they pay for my freedom.

Thank you Jane Fonda, for betraying my country, typical democrat or comi ***** which ever you prefer.

Arnold, you go terminator!

Linda Ronstat, and her boy friend shows what a GED will do for you. Rip up a poster for me.

Democrats, now what to say. Oh! dont feal bad you cant make the big bucks on your own, I and others, the american tax payers will help your under privaledge #$$ to get your favorite hud property you have been wishing for, you know the one Im taking about, the one across the tracks!

Next time you get to vote, you only get to punch one hole not two, Oh! your chads hanging.

The euros are a different sort of trash, they really,really, had to study and study hard to get there GEDs.
Just let us know when you need bailling out again, when the next bad guy takes your HUD property away from you. You know like what the germans tryed to do. Its ok though we will send are jail birds (democrats) to war, so you can bad mouth us again. Your welcome.

I pledge to the republic, not the democracy, with liberty and justice for all.

It nice to be in a high tax brackett, oh dont cry your welfar checks in the mail. You can thank me later.

Later

Right, just like when YOU stopped buying "French" products, heh? the french economy crumbled.

I wonder how you manage to get that high without taking drugs.

GRUNHERZ · « **Reply #133 on:** July 21, 2004, 07:20:27 AM »

First of what is this YOU stuff? And thanks for the nice personal attack, really adds something to your argument..

The simple fact is if enough people turn off a radio station because they play a certain musician the radio station will find out and will adjust their playlist. Their business is to have listeners listen to advertisements, so they do have ways to find out who listens or why they do or dont.. The singers who arent listend to are dropped and then they loosae the revenues f their songs on air from those stations

Just ask the Dixie Chicks, they lost a lot of money in the period shortly after their little comment... Was their carrer ruined for ever? Hell no, but they were definetly "dissed" because of consumer backlash..
