Upon watching Mr. Richard Belzer's performance on the Hannity show last night, I again am reminded by allowing such Hollywood so-called intellectuals as Mr. Belzer another venue for his uninformed opinions shows how little self-respect we have for truly smart people.
Mr. Belzer repeated several times that he was Jeffersonian in his beliefs, blah blah blah, yaddah yaddah, yaddah... He completely misunderstands his "hero" in that Thomas Jefferson was one of the most ardent opponents to forcing people to support projects based on principles then did not believe in. In his own words, Mr. Jefferson stated:
"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical."
If Mr. Belzer had done his homework which very few Hollywood types do, he would have chosen not to use Jefferson has his statue of "free-thinking liberalism" since he clearly shows he knows very little of how the real Jefferson thought about an intruding government.
If this bill does nothing else, it does exactly what Jefferson warned about in the above quotation. Mr. Belzer would be more respected as someone to listen to if he did a little bit of research, and not rely mostly on his glib, polished TV persona.
Wake up, people, why listen to anyone that claims as their right to address the American people that they are Hollywood celebrities. These people are absolute clueless about what is best for the country; they have morphed into "citizens of the world" since much of their revenues is now generated overseas. They want a weak US so they can travel the world without feeling they have to apologize for their country. Be strong, Mr. Belzer, have character and be willing to admit you are a closet socialist.
And, by the way, only market-driven economies based on fiscal conservative principles have survived the collective natures of socialism. Please do your own homework.
