How "Lo" Will They Go?

This video of Jennifer Lopez's appearance earlier this week on the "Lopez (as in George Lopez) Tonight" show has sparked quite a bit of conversation in light of the current political climate. Women across America have taken great offense at her disparaging of Sarah Palin. The comments that were posted underneath this video on the YouTube site tell the story of an America that is realizing celebrity elitists see themselves as our political examples.
Never before in history have I personally noticed so many, many celebrities abandon their stage to become so vocal in this dangerous progressive movement. Madonna's vulgarities on her tour concerning Governor Palin were shocking. Sharon Osbourne (is she an American anyway?) was so hateful in her speech about her that I have not watched "Ellen" since as it was on her show and Ellen laughed, rather than defend this fellow female American. Now we can add J-Lo to the list with Beyonce, Streisand, Winger, Behar, Oprah, and many other women in our country that have disappointed their gender by their radical, vocal lack of support. We may not all agree politically, but we share deeper bonds that should prevail: motherhood, the love and care of husbands, brothers, mothers, fathers, and sisters, and all of the unique things that bind women and make it necessary for us to be the absolute last to malign, mock, and tear at each other. Combined with the list of male celebrities such as George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, (and I guess Michael Moore considers himself some sort of celebrity), and many, many more, we have a group of actors and actresses that see themselves as more intelligent and more knowledgeable about what normal Americans need than we ourselves do! I'm sure, like me, you're aware that most of our current celebrity population consists of high school dropouts, very few college attendees, and carries a high rate of addiction and rehabilitation. Many have served time in prison. My conclusion is that these people see some sort of validation for their inadequacies in aligning themselves with someone whose ideas are as 'out there' as their own, and that could never possibly make them feel inferior or less intelligent because their most recent choice of presidential candidate has yet to even prove himself legitimate. As I decided earlier and have indicated in my previous blog "Political Boycott", I am making new decisions about where I spend my money. I will no longer be spending money knowingly on anyone or anything that stands ready to disassemble my country or it's values. I will no longer be buying progressive magazines that have sold their purpose to progressives. I will no longer be seeing movies or buying music produced by these anti-Americans, and I will be thinking and paying much more attention to what I watch, where I make purchases, and what organizations I support. Money doesn't buy happiness.....that comes from building a peaceful relationship through Jesus Christ....but money gives us the power of choice here and allows us to exercise our beliefs in a very powerful way. We can make a difference. Join me in making sure 'evil' doesn't profit from your God-given resources.
