Bea Arthur of Maude and Golden Girl Fame Passes Away at age 86

Bea Arthur who was best known for her roles on the 1970’s sitcom Maude and in the 1980’s for the ‘Golden Girls’ has died at the age of 86. Bea Arthur’s instant success on Maude came as a result from her guest appearances on ‘All in the Family’ and a subsequent spinoff series. Always known for her wise-cracking sarcasm, sadly Bea Arthur has passed, Rest in Peace.

One came in 1977 for “Maude,” in which she played the title role and was regarded as a symbol of the rise of feminism in American life.

The second came in 1988 for “The Golden Girls,” which ran for seven years and, with its focus on older women, was said to stretch the demographic boundaries of the television audience.

Bea Arthur was a true ‘Golden Girl’

Hollywood Actress Angie Harmon … “If I have anything to say against Obama it’s not because I’m a racist”

You are not a racist if you disagree with Barack Obama … it just makes you “not a socialist”.

Finally, a Hollywood type who is not afraid to speak their mind and voice the opinion of so many when it comes to disagreeing with President Barack Obama and his policies. Kudos the the former Law & Order ADA for telling it like it is and explaining that a disagreement with Obama and his socialist policies has nothing to do with race.

Angie Harmon is not afraid to come out and say she doesn’t like how President Obama is handling the job — but she’s sick of having to defend herself from being deemed a racist.

“Here’s my problem with this, I’m just going to come out and say it. If I have anything to say against Obama it’s not because I’m a racist, it’s because I don’t like what he’s doing as President and anybody should be able to feel that way, but what I find now is that if you say anything against him you’re called a racist,” Harmon told Tarts at Thursday’s Los Angeles launch of the new eyelash-growing formula, Latisse. “But it has nothing to do with it, I don’t care what color he is. I’m just not crazy about what he’s doing and I heard all about this, and he’s gonna do that and change and change, so okay … I’m still dressing for a recession over here buddy and we’ve got unemployment at an all-time high and that was his number one thing and that’s the thing I really don’t appreciate. If I’m going to disagree with my President, that doesn’t make me a racist. If I was to disagree with W, that doesn’t make me racist. It has nothing to do with it, it is ridiculous.”

As reported at Town Hall.com, the more Obama’s leftist/socialist policies fail and destroy our capitalist and free market economy, the more the Obama race card will be used.

Actor Ron Silver Dead at the Age of 62 From Cancer … A Breed a Part … Rest in Peace

Actor and political activist Ron Silver has passed away at the age of 62 after succumbing to esphogeal cancer. The long time Democratic activist turned Republican following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks has sadly passed away at the young age of 62. Our condolences go out to the family and friends of Ron Silver. Like so many others, I had no idea he was even sick.

As one who has always enjoyed his acting, I found myself more so respecting his understanding of what happened to America on 9–11 and his convictions to change his mind set and stand behind his country to be an American first and a political affiliation second.

Actor and longtime political activist Ron Silver died this morning, succumbing to a long battle with cancer, friends of the liberal Democrat-turned-GOP stalwart told The Post.

“Ron Silver died peacefully in his sleep with his family around him this morning,” said Robin Bronk, executive director of the Creative Coalition, which Silver helped create.

“He had been fighting esophageal cancer for two years and his family is making arrangements for a private service.”

Ron Silver bio.

There are pivotal moments in people’s lives, September 11 was that moment in time for the late Ron Silver. The one time liberal democratic activist changed and adopted a new role when America was attacked that fateful morning of September 11, 2001.

“I think there are September 10 people and there are September 11 people. I’m one of the latter. Everything changed for me. Since then I see everything through the prism of what happened that day,” he says. “For me this election is about one issue and that is the response to 9/11. In that sense I think the president is doing exactly the right thing. If 9/11 hadn’t happened then I’d be firmly in the Democratic camp.”

Ron Silver would later go on and speak at the 2004 Republican National Convention. Michelle Malkin has the full speech; however below is an excerpt we should never forget.

Just over 1,000 days ago, 2,605 of my neighbors were murdered at the World Trade Center — men, women and children — as they began their day on a brilliantly clear New York autumn morning, less than four miles from where I am now standing.

We will never forgive. Never forget. Never excuse!

Like These People do not have work to do for the “We the People” … Capitol Hill goes gaga over Brad Pitt

A note to Nancy Pelosi and the love sick DC groupies that went gaga for Brad Pitt … the real hero’s and models for our nation serve in our military and make the ultimate sacrifice every day to protect our freedoms.

“We the People” have an economy that is tanking, a stock market that is at a 12 year low and looks to be heading south of 6000,  Blue Chip stocks trading as penny stocks, and a Democratic controlled government that continues to spend, spend and spend in the nail of pork barrel bail outs driving the economy even further into the abyss.   

As We the People see the economy tank, Pelosi and crew yuck it up with the beautiful people

With all this going on and as they claim America near catastrophe some how or another the Capitol and school girl Nancy Pelosi gets all giddy because Brad Pitt came to Capitol Hill. Are you serious? Law makers and their staffs going gaga for Pitt? Isn’t this special, Hollywood stars getting preferential treatment. So much for “We the People,” I guess in DC it just matters who the people are. This is ultimately why there is such a disconnect these days. Politicians have stopped caring about serving the people and care more about who they can get a photo-op next to.

From the moment he stepped into the Capitol on Thursday, sunglassed and goateed, Pitt’s star power transformed congressional business-as-usual in a way any lawmaker or new president might envy.

“Nice face. Waaaay too skinny,” one Senate source e-mailed on condition of anonymity after catching sight of the actor between meetings with lawmakers about helping rebuild New Orleans.

Now Its OK for Hollywood Hypocrites to Support Their President, Obama: The Cult of Celebrity

Hollywood Hypocrisy …

File this one under the bizzaro moment of the day. For 8 years the Hollywood left crowd has done everything humanly possible to tear down and undermine the Presidency of George W. Bush. Suddenly now that their messiah has become President they are ready to serve him and make a pledge to serve The One.

Where was their support Bush? Did they not think that GWB needed their help as well and for all people to come together? Not in the slightest and the liberal celebs would find a way to make fun and mock him at every opportunity. Suddenly it is now different because they are willing to support Obama. Big Hollywood writes a great piece on  … “I Pledge to Ridicule Celebrities Who Refuse to Recognize We Are At War With People Who Want to Kill Them, Too”.

Many of the celebrities that were central to demonizing and making life impossible for President Bush for eight loathsome years NOW want to help with the heavy lifting of bringing America back together under President Barack Obama.

I pledge to be a servant to our President

MySpace Celebrity and Katalyst present The Presidential Pledge

Pledge? This video has all the freaky and scary undertones of cult. Does anyone else find this pledge video just a tad bit bizarre?

As Flopping Aces so accurately points out, “isn’t the President a servant of the people? Not the other way around?”

Among the celebrities we have Eva Mendez, Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Eva Longoria Parker, Lucy Liu, Alyssa Milano, Ashton Kutcher, Robin Wright Penn, Marisa Tomei and Michael Strahan all appearing and making fools of themselves showing pure obedience to the one.

What hypocrisy.

The Gateway Pundit has a pledge of his own … “I pledge to show Barack Obama as much respect as these Hollywood hypocrites showed President Bush.”

Red State has numerous great pledges as well, “I pledge to remember that celebrities are not the people to go to for intelligent thought”.

As Breitbart states, missing is the following pledge from the Hollywood Lefties as well:

Missing are pledges not to kiss the ring of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and other pledged enemies of America. Nor are there pledges not to make movies that glorify these tyrants. Nor are there pledges to take seriously that we are at war, will continue to be at war under President Obama and that our precious and under-appreciated military is fighting an avowed and evil enemy — so that, among other things, Hollywood can continue to make decadent crap that actually motivates our enemy to fight us harder!

BTW, didn’t these same people pledge to leave the United States when GWB became President? These people really are to be seen and not heard. They make their living reading what other people have written for them. Hmm … no wonder they sound like a mind numb zombie cult.
