They’re Not God

By Howard Comen

The silent majority/the forgotten Americans are fed up with millionaire entertainers and athletes shaping our society - in a very negative way - with their leftist socialist agendas, hateful, violent behavior in the streets as well as on the silver screen.  We are the ones who support them.  We go to their movies, we root for them at their games, we buy their products and are “gaga” over everything they do.  However, our recent boycotts are hitting them hard in the only place that matters to them - their pocketbooks - with the NFL’s low attendance, falling box office receipts, low awards shows’ viewership and more.

Arguably it began when the curtain was pulled back on the great Oz called Hollywood with the many allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein who was arraigned in court on Friday.  Big Hollywood “stars” and half the world of entertainment not only embraced him but worshipped him.  Meryl Streep once called Weinstein a “God.” Weinstein’s excuse, according to sleazy lawyer, Benjamin Brafman: "Harvey Weinstein did not invent the casting couch in Hollywood." Nor did Hitler invent genocide, you moron!

Morgan Freeman, whose role as God in one movie has since had his Hollywood-invented popularity rewarded with wealth and fame, many endorsement deals, playing God in documentaries and more, has shown his true colors - first by apologizing for theallegations against him and now retracting them.  Well, the advertising industry doesn’t like it and many have fired “God” as his endorsement deals are going up in smoke.  Even “God” is not getting by with such behind-the-scenes behavior.

The bad behavior is not confined to Hollywood. The cesspool extends from New York with political heavyweight Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman, through Academia with University of Southern California president Max Nikias stepping down amid reports of a gynecologist accused of abuse. The list goes on and on: Bill Cosby, Ed Westwick, Kevin Spacey, Ben Affleck, FNC’s Bill O'Reilly and so many more have been exposed for their sexual exploitation. The Times reported on some 122 celebrities accused of sexual misconduct since the Weinstein allegations went public.

But we’re fighting back by not caving in to the values touted by these entertainers.  Real America - grassroots Americans - is starting to make a difference. We’re no longer tolerating millionaire athletes disrespecting our flag and national anthem at gamesWE support.  We will no longer let them be our golden calves - to build their golden homes, ride in their liberal limousines, fly in their golden planes - by buying in to such idolatry.   We’re recognizing today’s O.J. Simpsons before they get away with murder and become huge celebrities.  We’re seeing their character for what it’s worth - NOW as true American citizens who love our country, our flag and respect our troops who make the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom of speech.  Americans are shouting from the mountaintops - from sea to shining sea - “We will no longer worship entertainers and athletes!”  We’re showing them once and for all: THEY’RE NOT GOD!
