I've been avoiding much of Hollywood's movies since 2001. There are way too many celebrities in hollywood who not only hate America, but also have nothing but disdain towards our nation's military. Celebrities like Danny Glover would rather show support to communist dictators than his own country. Fine. I'm not calling for a boycott of their movies. I just don't pay to watch their films. They have a personal choice to support our nation's enemies and I have a personal choice not to contribute to their income.

Clint Eastwood is truly a genuinely decent man with a kind heart and respectable nature! If anything I would patronize all his endeavors!

How many of you planning to boycott Hollywood are also planning to boycott the NFL for reinstating that piece of scum Michael Vick?

What about boycotting the networks (CBS, NBC, ABC) that deliver those horrible liberal talk shows aforementioned?

Remember that since you're boycotting ABC (the network that airs "The View") be sure not to promise any trips to Disney or buy any Disney products for your children. I'm sure you will all come up with a good way to explain to your daughters why they can't be Cinderella or Snow White for Halloween based on your principles.

Don't bother with ESPN or NBA games or NASCAR either- ALL ABC affiliated. Sickening, isn't it?

Perhaps worst of all, GE owns MSNBC!!!!

I think if you all stood tall & boycotted CBS, the entities that own NBC, ABC and all their combined holdings, you might actually have some impact.

I think it would take a LOT of work to make sure your life is free of all that muck, though.

Here's a link to help get you started:

Good luck!

The problems with boycotts are that people only boycott the OBVIOUS (and only when other people are watching..lol). If you follow the money and/or dig deep enough you wouldn't be able to do much of anything.

Vick served his time in prison, a real prison I might add, and as long ask he keeps himself out of trouble and is still able to play, he should be allowed to continue to earn a living.
Since I'm not part of the Nielson ratings system, boycotting a network from my home television is pointless. The networks make money based upon ratings. Higher the ratings, the more they can charge for advertising space. Disney has been moving away from being family friendly for years now. Cinderella and Snow White were story book characters for many years before Walt Disney ever made movies.

Reagan should NEVER have been POTUS, eh? How'd all the Uptighty-Righties get sucked in by that political agenda pushing celebrity?
