Ever since reading reviews of the Oscars this has been jumping around in my head.

I’m surprised at the current backlash from some areas about how “liberal” Hollywood is. The claim artists are “out of touch” with reality. Stewart even poked fun at this during the Oscars.

But, when have artists not been liberal and somewhat “out of touch” with the common person? This backlash is mostly coming from the religious right now that they’ve got the balls to go after whoever they want, except that they’re now down to attacking their annoyances rather than what they believe is killing the country. Suddenly the mass media picks up on this and it seems like a huge story.

Anyways, I can just imagine the list of the religious right…

Destroy the enemies of the one true god:

  • Politicians who aren’t one of us – check
  • Gay people – check
  • Federal judges – check
  • …
  • Hollywood? – check
  • Canada
  • That guy who sleeps in the back of church during service
  • Up to you, fire at will
