There was a time, Korea…WWII…When celebrities loved this country. During those wars and in times of peace, Hollywood and the
music industry stood with our troops and were seen waving our flag. It’s not that way now.
Oh sure, some still do but they are few and far between. Country music is pretty darn good at it and a small handful of Hollywood types but, that’s about it.
The ones who make the most noise these days are the Michael Moore and Sean Penn types. They embrace the entitlement society and promote socialism. They run about palling it up with dictators who regard our nation as their enemy and they run to foreign shores to spew their anti-American venom.
They tell us they will leave our country forever if conservatives get elected but, lacking the courage of their convictions, the cowards never follow through.
That’s why people, stars, like Gary Sinise and movies like “Act of Valor” are such a breath of fresh air. Today, Sinise is the exception, not the rule.
It’s also why, when someone you wouldn’t expect to do so, steps up, it’s noteworthy.
Katy Perry has stepped up.
Perry’s music is danceable, fun and let’s face it, she’s easy on the eyes.
I
don’t know her politics and to a great extent, that’s also unusual
these days. No matter on which side of the aisle she stands, she has
stepped up with a new video for her song, “Part of Me.”
Many on the left, the liberal/socialist crowd, is now urging a boycott of Katy Perry because of her latest offering.
Screw em.
Remember Naomi Wolf? She wrote “The Beauty Myth.” She was also a proud arrestee at the Occupy movement. Wolf is one of those entitlement whiners who would rather sit in a park and demand that she be awarded what others have worked for and thinks the government should take care of her every want and need.
In Katy Perry’s video, she takes on the role of a young woman done wrong by her boyfriend and, tired of being taken advantage of, joins the United States Marines.
