Speaking my thoughts!
Ride on bro....
Oh and to prove that we [Republicans] have not lost the Hollywood battle, I ran across this article. It took some searching (due to the liberal slant of the press) but nonetheless- here it is.

Willis tried to sign up for Iraq war but friends and Bush told actor that he's too old

U.S. President George W. Bush is getting celebrity reinforcements in his campaign against al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein.
Bruce Willis said this week that recent events made him seriously consider joining the U.S. armed forces.
"I thought about signing up," said the 47-year-old, who plays a Navy Special Ops commander in his new film, Tears of the Sun. "But my friends told me I was too old. I called the White House, called President Bush and asked what I could do."
Dubya apparently agreed with Willis's friends. So instead, the actor said, "I got involved with the national foster-care program."
The longtime Bush supporter said he was bothered by Hollywood's anti-war brigade, led by Sean Penn, Richard Gere, Martin Sheen, Madonna, George Clooney and Susan Sarandon, to name a few.
"This is America," he said. "You're allowed to say what you want."
While other stars remain undecided, the White House does have the support of a curious coalition of celebs.
Kid Rock said that "we got to kill that mother-(bleeper) Saddam. Slit his throat."
Jean-Claude Van Damme told Globe magazine that "some of those in Hollywood are part of the axis of ignorance!"
Then there's George Michael. The goateed popster has opposed the war, last year releasing a cartoon video that depicted British Prime Minister Tony Blair as Bush's pet poodle. But he's doing both leaders the favour of discouraging a new anti-war song that would bring together young stars such as Justin Timberlake, Kylie Minogue and Pink, saying they are "extremely young and extremely lacking" in political knowledge.
A spokesman for Timberlake says, "We have not been formally approached but it's sad when people get old and act old in this business."
To bad he wasn't younger, eh? Anywho, oh yeah I was going to suggest (if you don't already) tune into Sean Hannity. He is one of the very best talk show hosts out there. If you live in a small town you might not get him on the radio but you can always turn him on at hannity.com last night he had the organizer of the "peaceful" [to quote the NY times] protest where the protestors threw rocks bottles etc at cops. The big problem [as you probably know] was that they were trying to stop the shipping to the troops. Which logically doesn't make sense on their part. Whether the war is right or not [which it is of course] they would actually be killing people by not getting them supplies, which is what they are protesting against!! If anyone out there was a part of this hoop-la let me know, I would like the opportunity to see how you would justify what you are doing. Anywho, thanks for your response to my threads. Hope the article is encouraging!!
God Bless America,
The Patriot
