Actress Julianne Moore Disgusted By Partisan Politics

In my interview with four-time Oscar nominated actress Julianne Moore she was quite candid about her feelings with regards the current political climate.  She says that it’s “most disappointing how partisan it’s become.”   She goes on the say that we are supposed to be the country of the UNITED STATES, greater than the sum of our parts, but that we have become divisive, with self-interest and special interests seeming to dominate.  She says, “I’m really disgusted. I really feel kind of ashamed.”  Julianne Moore suggests that leadership is not about making more noise but about electing people who will take care of us.  She has just released a new children’s book, the third of a series.  It is called Freckleface Strawberry: Best Friends Forever.  Themes of inclusion and self-acceptance are paramount.

So is she disgusted with VP Joe Biden for calling all the Tea party member Terrorists? Is she disguested with Obama for telling a Hispanic group that White people are their enemy? Or is Julianne Moore another koolaid drinking liberal actor?

The title of this piece is a joke. The only thing Julianne Moore is disgusted about is that the liberal agenda hasn’t been advanced as much as she would like. Funny how the Hollywood elite get a pass for their fortunes but those who provide millions of jobs are the target for Obama and the Left.

The violence that is occurring with this Occupy crowd. I have heard anti-Semite
references, arrests and spitting on sailors. Glad the Democrats love this bunch.

Electing people who will take care of us? WHAT? That is not what the American people want or need – that is the exact opposite of the goal of our government. Their job is not to take care of us, it is not to be everything to everyone.
This kind of thinking, by a relative minority but supported by the media, is exactly the problem in this country. Too many people want to be ‘taken care of’ at the expense of the rest of us!

Here’s my question. WHY DO WE CARE? Why do celebrities think we really care about their political views, whatever they are? Why does this count as news? I mean, really, there are so much more important people to ask about this. Don’t get me wrong, I think she’s a good actress, and she’s definitely talented, but I genuinely do not care one iota as to what her views about the partisan rhetoric are. Shut up and ACT!

Nobody is stopping her and her fellow Hollywood types to stop trying to cram their leftist agenda down our throats. She can set the example and start agreeing with Conservatives and show that she isn’t partisan.

She’s playing a woman who is one of the reasons for the divisiveness. Palin and the teabaggers are all about greed and power.
