While I believe everyone has a right to express their opinions, I feel that celebrities tend to express their views irresponsibly. They come across as pretentious and never seem to be informed on issues, but yet they arrogantly believe that they know what's best for the average person. They are also hypocrites, allows filthy rich and do the very things that they claim to be against in movies.

Furthermore, all their views are the same. How often do you hear or see a Conservative celebrity expressing their views openly in Hollywood? Very rarely. But yet you always see celebrities talking about wanting to ban guns or about how great Obama is. This is no coincidence, I've been told by a friend who works in Hollywood that there are a lot of Conservatives and other non super liberal people in Hollywood, but they keep it to themselves for their own careers sake. In Hollywood it's not about talent so much as it is about who you know. It's about whose parties you get invited to, whose circle and name you know, and the only way to get to know those people is to agree with their radical liberalism or stay quiet about it. I have also been told that many celebrities don't really care about liberal causes, they just pretend to because it earns them "celeb cred"with the Hollywood liberal elitist.

Truth is that it's easier for a person in Hollywood to be an openly gay, Godless druggie, **** than it is to be a righteous and moral Christian who remains in the same relationship. A person like Tim Tebow would be attacked in Hollywood while a scum bag like Charlie Sheen is praised.

Didn't even understand the question obviously, where did I state such a claim? I think there are good (and bad) people on both sides, but liberals have become the loudest and most pushy group of people over the last several years, and these stupidity celebrities are part of the problem.

You've just described Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, etc.

They are American citizens who have the Freedom of Speech. You only have a problem with them expressing their views publicly because you disagree with them. You think they're not informed because there see things differently.

Who's not pretentious when it comes to their own personal views and agenda.. This is true of most people.

The only reason Hollywood is so Democratic is they are all in actor unions and the unions always vote democratic. AFA celebrities their political views are meaningless to me. It annoys me that they spew their politics and expect their fans to follow. I was highly disappointed when Oprah used her popularity and show to support Obama. These people make millions and millions doing nothing but playing fantasy roles, charging the public ridiculous amounts to see their films when the public is out of work, on food stamps and losing their homes.

Clint Eastwood, Kurt Russell, Jeff Foxworthy, Dane Cook, Dennis Miller, Craig T. Nelson, Ronald Reagan, need I go on? Many of them like Craig, Dennis, and Clint are regulars on Fox News and other Conservative platforms... Yes, when these people talk, I tend to get annoyed.

What's the matter, you don't like all those stellar Tea Party celebrities that continually speak out for the right? You know, brainiacs like Victoria Jackson, Ted Nugent and Glenn Beck?

Hmm...yeah, I can see why you're pissed...
