A Patriotic Portrait of Liberal Stupidity
Most of us shake our heads in wonder at the insistence of Hollywood in making movies and television series that are so relentlessly politically liberal as to alienate nearly half their potential customers. In a business that rarely produces the Hollywood Blockbuster of old, an industry that constantly faces meager ticket sales and declining television ratings, common sense should dictate that it just might improve the bottom line if that industry would quit insulting the politics and beliefs of so many of its prospective viewers.
But no, the disdain for conservative views and conservative people continues as in this picture now appearing at Breitbart and across the Internet just in time for our nation’s birthday:
The Hollywood genius pictured is one Debbie Gilpin who plays a wrestler in a Netflix series, GLOW, about the 1980’s women’s’ wrestling scene in Los Angeles. Gilpin, whose wrestling and acting persona wears patriotic colors and is dubbed Liberty Belle, tweeted the image with this:
Liberty Bell wishing the GOP a happy 4th! pic.twitter.com/DFd0rHfqhI

While most Hollywood liberals are content with just showing contempt for conservatives and their beliefs, Little Debbie, visibly demonstrating her limited math skills, takes it a step further in quite clearly saying “F**k off!” to a potentially huge segment of her television audience. A significant number, like yours truly, certainly intend to heed her instruction. It might behoove Gilpin to seek out the numero uno Republican for both some wrestling advice and tweeting tips.
As a much more famous, and no doubt wiser, entertainer used to say, “What a maroon!”

I’d hit it.
Boom-Boom.
Shack!
With a hammer or a baseball bat?
I’d use that red headband for a……
split reining? 🙂
oh, now that I’m on my own computer I see that the net has some nice pics of her sweater puppies….awww yeah
Thought she looked familiar…she was on the show “Nurse Jackie”wait, what was this thread about?
Never heard of this chick or her show. Not going to bother with either now.
ABC cancelled “Last Man Standing,” its #2 rated show (by only a small margin) because Tim Allen character (like Allen himself) is conservative, as is the overall theme of the show, despite the show’s liberal characters not being presented in a negative light (unlike conservative characters in most shows). Rumors persist that Allen’s endorsement of Trump was the nail in the coffin.
If Johnny Depp had said the same things about Obama, he’d be blackballed, called a racist, and likely never make a movie again. By the way, Johnny, how are your knuckles feeling? Did it hurt swinging them into Amber Heard’s face? Asshole.
Hollywood wants to call everyone racist, yet the producers of “Hawaii Five-O,” a show whose writers’ liberal leanings are usually blatantly obvious, refuse to pay the ethnically-Korean Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park as much as the white Alex O’Laughlin and Scott Caan. And for another kicker, Chin-Ho and Kono are both more popular among fans, and thus drive more ratings, than Danno. Project much, guys?
Of course, I did read that Jeff Bridges, who shilled for das Hildabeast last fall, came out and said that he’s “rooting for President Trump to do a good job and do right by our country.” I suppose that might make him the exception that proves the rule.
The Dude abides…
That’s just your opinion, man
Come now, you should transpose those juxtaposed words.
Think American…be all inclusive, a melting pot, embrace our diversity, get with the program.
What is more American than an actress playing a role of a person who pretended to actually wrestle while expressing phuck ewe in the red white and blue?
Diversity? My gun safe has weapons from Britain, Canada, Brazil, Soviet Russia, the Czech Republic, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Yonkers, New York. My truck was manufactured in Virginia. I sleep with (literally and figuratively) a gorgeous Cambodian chick. How’s that for diversity?
Living the dream bro, you be livin da dream.
I have to ask: Does she love you long time?
I’m sorry…
She once found “Full Metal Jacket” on my DVD rack and wanted to watch it, to which I gave an emphatic “NOOOOOOOOO!!!”
She asked why not. I said, “Because you’re a southeast Asian female!”
She said, “Yeah, and?”
I said, “And…that’s why!”
Wiseass that she is, she would never have let me live that down. Even worse if her sisters jump in.
“if her sisters jump in.”
**giggety**
Thanks for the mental image….
You, sir, are going to hell.
I”ll save you a seat.
Dave, what with you being the consummate wordsmith here at This Ain’t Hell, rest assured that I will always bow to your expertise in the matter of transpositioning words to effect the correct juxtapositioning of concepts.
Betty, not Debbie
Nitpicker.
So needy.
Breaking Gibbs Rule #6 to both George and the all knowing, all seeing Spambot, I should have included a /smile to my comment.
Mea Culpa.
Maybe I confused her with that Debbie Does Dallas star.
Easy mistake to make.
People actually watched Debbie does Dallas. This broad’s show, not so much.
The only reason I ever watched DdD was for the deer./smile
She’s a bimbo.
But at least she’s (apparently) not a sad, fat little man with fake boobs. (smile)
Ha! Remember this guy?
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/brian-zembic-breast-implants-bet-2691793
Nah, don’t remember him. But I do seem to remember someone called “Cheddar-boi”, AKA “Cheeseslayer”. (smile)
Awwww damn, I thought I had company hehe 😀
Of the top 25 inflation adjusted movies worldwide of all time seven were made in the last ten years. Seems like blockbusters are doing just fine.
Of those seven only one – Avatar – Had a strong liberal bent. At least I think it did. I have three failed attempts at watching it. Fell asleep each time somewhere in the middle. Boring schlock, but what do I know it was third ranked movie of all time.
I wish they’d just use a generic “Celebrity has opinion” headline and let me click on it if I care. Which I don’t. But it does diminish the enjoyment of certain media to know what assholes/idiots the stars tend to be.
http://247wallst.com/special-report/2016/01/08/top-grossing-films-of-all-time/2/
Only one in the the top 10 (Titanic) and its 20 years old. Avatar, #14, is the only recent in the top 20. Two more in twenties…where do you get 7?
This list here:
http://www.calculatorgames.info/mogul/
I see there are a bunch of different lists out there. I think your list is maybe domestic US only? Don’t know.
The wikipedia list includes merchandiisng which is not really fair. Hollywood did not really learn how to fully exploit merchandising until Star Wars:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films
Old Major, you fail to factor in the impact of the Chinese government freeing up their billions of eager fans to view decadent western movies, thus creating a huge market where anti-American sleaze sells.
High ticket sales do not necessarily translate to quality.
That could be part of it, although the international market in general has been a big factor for awhile. This is particularly true for animated work targeted at a child audience such as that by Disney and Pixar.
Another factor I remember mentioned from a few years ago is that there is a lot film production aimed at the male 18-24 age demographic. Apparently they’re the ones who make up a large portion of the brick-and-mortar theater audience because they still drag their girlfriends out for the dinner and a movie ritual. It’s evidently one reason why you see a lot of recycled action figure Marvel Comics scripts in play.
Hey, I took MRS D to see Deadpool, she laughed so hard I thought she was gonna have a heart attack
“Deadpool” was freakin’ brilliant!
“Okay, I only have 12 bullets, so you’re all gonna have to share!”
Not Western anymore. A lot of production companies and distribution chains are owned by China.
http://www.thewrap.com/hollywood-companies-owned-by-china/
This is why (for one of many examples) the Red Dawn reboot was recast with The NORKs being the bad guys instead of China who were originally the invaders. Even then the movie suffered from a host of issues as the Chinese did not want it out there.
Cubans with Russian advisors in the original Red Dawn. “Issues” – meaning “it sucked wind every other way”? Most of what I heard suggested ‘Battleship’ was the ‘Battleship Potemkin’ compared to it.
“Avatar” sucked. Apparently a very large percentage of people who saw it were rooting for the designated bad guys.
Dance with Wolves in Space, aka Avatar, sucked because in a low gravity world people would be far weaker than here.
In other words, in a moon world like Pandora people would indeed be taller than on earth, but physically weaker and slower, because of the low gravity.
So the indians were overpowered.
Indeed. Plus the whole “one with nature thing” is a lot easier when your sci-fi ecosystem has all the benefits of technology such as transportation, communications, data storage, etc. miraculously built in.
You made it to the middle of Avatar? Congrats, I tried twice, fell asleep in the first 10 minutes both times. And, lucky for me, I remember nothing of those efforts, other than it put me to sleep.
My favorite is any John Wayne movie, now there was a hero and a great american!
Boring. All boobs, sits on her brains.
Just throw a chair in the ring…..
She should go hang with Janos.
Clown.
Oh my!!! She sure has perfected that steely eyed 1000 ft stare of blonde blankness hasn’t she? I hope she doesn’t pop her inflatable nipples with those fingers.
I wonder if her skills include performing a flatulent interpretive dance to the soundtrack of Frozen. Probably not, her brain is like a shaken up snow globe so I really don’t expect much out of her.
Flippin Derpy Clown.
“I wonder if her skills include performing a flatulent interpretive dance to the soundtrack of Frozen. Probably not, her brain is like a shaken up snow globe so I really don’t expect much out of her.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!
She, like most liberals, has a mind like concrete, and by that I mean their minds are all mixed up and permanently set!
And good for little else than a boat anchor. Then again, the bouyancy provided by her fake tits would probably prevent her from even doing that effectively.
You nailed it. I am disdainful of people who have enshrined naked self interest and selfishness in the form of a political party. And renamed their own narcissism as patriotism.
Alert! Heroic rockclimber sighting!
So, Joe – that would mean you detest Liberals who support increased welfare/other social benefits in order to gain the votes of the poor. I guess that explains why you find it so distasteful to look in the mirror.
Hmph. Can’t be a true liberal if he feels that way. He won’t be happy that Bill Clinton’s 1996 work requirement for welfare recipients is being reinstated in many states, particularly in regard to the food stamps program.
That’s been going on for about 18 months now in many states, with whimpering from the lefties, that cutting SNAP and requiring work cuts off access to food supplies. I guess those twits haven’t heard about food pantries and work programs, or other stuff like that.
My favorite quote, “if you can afford tattoos, corn rows, perms and nail jobs, you don’t need a SNAP card”.
There’s also, alcohol, tobacco products, drugs, jewelry, and so on….
A ghetto-fancy car with huge ugly rims, a copyrighted trademark painted on the side and a $2000+ stereo to go caterwauling down the street with…
Not to mention, trips to the local McD’s, Burger King and Arby’s.
$200+ Nike Air Jordan shoes…
AMEN!
MAGA is so selfish!
Joe, your psych bill must be incredible.
Not to mention the monthly bill for his meds!
Joey, care to explain the Hollywood racism referenced above? Please, enlighten us with your shining intellectual might.
/sarc
Great Caesar’s Ghost! Did Joe just agree with Poetrooper?
The end times are upon us! Repent!
Yeah, I been wonderin’ the same thing since he posted that, 11B. But since it’s written in a rather cryptically oblique fashion, you know, not like his usual, “Eat shit and die, Poe!” style, I just dunno.
Thanks for the info Poe. Now I know of one more thing not to watch, when it comes across my Netflix home screen.
Liberals are such hateful cunts. It’s what sustains their life I suspect.
Well, at least she didn’t p!ss on the American flag and post the video on Facebook like this “fine lady”:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4667724/Woman-posts-video-urinating-American-flag.html
The alleged Craigslist bounty was probably going a bit too far. But I do have to say I’d shed no tears if she got hit by a bus.
I also will never understand why crap like that (flag desecration) is not considered “fighting words” – and thus isn’t an exception to the 1st Amendment’s protections on free speech. IMO it should be.
But I’d still bet IDC SARC would hit it. He likes “bad gurlz”. (smile)
Yah, don’t have to like somebody to have sex with them. There’s something to be said for an occasional hate fuck.
The term “grudge fuck” comes to mind as well.
Strictly in the interest of kinky weird-shit etiquette, I’m wondering. If somebody were to naked wrestle Emily and Debbie in a vat of Jello, would it be more appropriate to use strawberry or lime as the flavor?
Neither…GRAPE!!!!
Debbie can wrap her russian ruby red lips around my good old American swahili and then pray for lock jaw. I do not go to the movies at all because of the hollywood left actors/actresses who donate their moola shmoola to the party that is opposite the party of mine. I cannot go for that bullshit that my poolside friends say that they can separate the acting from the politics. What i watch are the TCM flicks with actors and actresses that have served in our Armed Forces and respect our flag. I’m a minority down here in south Florida when it comes to politics.
Speaking of Swahili, my statement to her would simply be a nice loud “KUTOMBA WEWE!”
Oh, this is a Poetrooper post….. He would probably prefer all his movies with no gay characters, no female protagonists, no single moms, and definitely no non-cacausians. Those kind of movies obviously promote the “liberal agenda’.
How ’bout some SS Girls in leather?…I could go for that.
Hey Joey, how ’bout that question regarding Hollywood paying Asian actors/actresses significantly less than white ones, eh?
Not good.
What? Not good that the virtue-signaling limousine-liberal dickbags who call the rest of us racists for no particular reason practice racism on a daily basis? Is that what you mean, Joey?
The perps in this case are from his political “side”, TOW. Of course he’s going to go easy on them.
And that’s all you have to say when your side turns out to be the racists they claim we are. That’s pathetic, Joe, as are you, coming here periodically to be verbally flagellated.
You get off on being held in contempt by men you’re not worthy to contend with, Joe?
Coming here is also cheaper than hiring a dominatrix, PT.
Not if you marry one…
Heh
Wait – what? “No gay characters”?
So Joey doesn’t recognize a natural biological act as what it was meant for – reproduction? The fact that it feels good is merely part of it.
Without sperm and ova, Joey wouldn’t be here, but that seems to be unimportant in his world. I guess I was right: he began life in a Petri dish. It all went downhill from there.
With all due respects, you are clueless. Read up on kin selection and epigenitics tonight, might help you to understand evolution by natural selection.
Gee, I’ve never before encountered someone who worships at Trofim Lysenko’s altar of pseudobiology.
Um, no, you’re like 80 years behind the times. Nice reference though….
As usual, you miss the point. From Justin Ma, PhD in Plant Breeding and Genetics, MS Analytics Lysenko’s worthy contribution to science involves vernalization, which is a great example of epigenetics. However, while vernalization is a real phenomenon, he was dead wrong (literally – he helped cause millions of deaths by starvation) about vernalization being inherited over generations. The infamy of his beliefs and theories was so terrible we call it Lysenkoism. There’s no debate that epigenetics are involved with gene regulation, but the idea that any sort of significant transgenerational non-Mendelian inheritance died with Lysenko. It’s unfortunate that we forget about that history as epigenetics gets hyped as a new paradigm in genetics. There are undoubtedly epigenetic effects that can be inherited over generations in plants (the same confidence cannot be extended to mammals). However, the effects are also undoubtedly minor compared to genetic effects and often unstable. The Role of Germinally Inherited Epialleles in Plant Breeding Transgenerationally epigenetically affected traits also tend to be random in nature. That is, the environment doesn’t necessarily correlate with the trait, in the same way we understand mutations. Selection can still act on these traits in a Darwinian manner, but most importantly, any selection for the manner of inheritance (i.e. the epigenetic component) is coincidental. In other words, the manner of inheritance is not immediately functional, and is lost over generations. This should be obvious from theory (Evolutionarily stable strategy) and all empirical evidence backs it up. Maternal effects and paramutation, for example, occur among genes neighboring transposons, and are only “coincidentally” regulated by epigenetic systems affecting transposons. If you want to throw real science out the window, Joey, you go right ahead. Inherited permanent characteristics can be induced through chemical interference with and physical alteration to the structure of the DNA molecule, as with the thalidomide babies who are now approaching their 50s – approximately 12,000 of them with permanent and damaging changes to their DNA. It can also be induced by the thing YOU FEAR most – genetically modified organisms, those GMO fruits and veggies that nitwits like YOU think… Read more »
In humans, not plants, epigenetic changes in the genes of the children of holocaust survivors have been demonstrated, as well as other incidents of the effects of trauma being passed down thru several generations. We are barely scratching the surface as far as the power of epigenetic transmission goes. Bottom line, the chance of all incidences of homosexuality in the US being by choice (millions and millions of people) are astronomically small. And so if there is a genetic predisposition, how can it be a sin or a character flaw?
At the risk of stating the obvious: predisposition =/= “will do”. Free will has something to say about that.
Like all humans, married couples have a predisposition towards lust. Whether they give in to that predisposition outside marriage is up to them.
Not all married persons choose to become adulterers.
But if you’re so smart tell me – if being gay is an evolutionary dead end, why do so damned many gay people keep on getting born, professor?
What makes you think they are born that way?
I know, in your world millions and millions of people just up and decide to be gay one day. Must be the homosexual agenda at work.
Could be, as in your case, that they’re too unattractive to find a mate or even casual sexual gratification from the opposite sex, Joe.
It’s like being in prison, Jo Jo boy, they opt for what’s easily available, another loser trait.
He’s never heard of “transient homosexuality”…
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/transient+homosexuality
But to answer your question – science.
Could be. Could also be individual choice.
Neither has been definitively proven at this point. My bet is that it’s a combination of the two.
I think there are numerous reasons a person might be gay, environmental and/or genetic, not just one catch-all reason..
Well, Joe, it seems to me that I’ve read that the best data shows that the incidence of homosexuality is actually on the order of 2%. That rate of sustained occurrence in a population over time can be explained multiple ways.
Here’s a simplistic example (reality is doubtless more complex) of how that could happen. That is statistically explainable if it’s (1) the result of the simultaneous expression of 3 recessive genes which must all be inherited simultaneously from both parents to cause the predilection to manifest, and (2) inheritance of those recessive genes don’t otherwise individually or in combination lead to other problems that impede survival. Each gene has a 25% of being inherited from both parents; all 3 simultaneously manifesting would thus have a (0.25 x 0.25 x 0.25) = 0.015625, or 1.5625%, chance.
It’s also consistent with an inherited susceptibility to some as yet unidentified environmental exposure factor affecting maybe 2% of the population which doesn’t otherwise affect individual survival.
For a non-controversial example of such a relatively rare variant that persists over time in the human gene pool, see red hair (2-6% of those of northern/western European ancestry).
FWIW: it’s also consistent with 2% of the population simply deciding they want to be homosexual.
My guess is that it’s a combination of both choice and inheritance.
There was an INTERESTING GALLUP STUDY conducted a couple of years ago. In it, they asked a random population sample if the respondent identified as a member of an LGBT group. The result came back at around 3.8 percent of the population.
A separate random population sample was apparently also tested which asked respondents what they thought the percentage of the population was who identified as LGBT. That result amounted to about 23 percent.
The Gallup study offered only vague speculation for the difference. My own view is that the LGBT community actively seeks to make its cohort seem larger than it actually is.
Gee – ya think?
Can you think of a better way to convince a group of politicians to take your demands seriously than to convince everyone your group is nearly 1/4 of the population vice <1/25th?
Hey, Joe Shit the Ragman… what’s your claim to fame other than going balls deep for Bernie? Must be trolling here looking for some sore of free handout?
Call it a morbid fascination….
Sure you don’t have masochistic tendencies? That would also explain it.
I’m guessing that his biggest fantasy is to get “pegged”… by Trigglypuff.
I would be a masochist only if I gave a shit what you guys think of me.
And yet, you keep coming here and being publicly proven a hypocritical idiot. Seems to me that someone without masochistic tendencies would quit after the verbal equivalent of being stripped naked in public a handful of times.
You haven’t stopped coming here. Ergo, that means you enjoy, on some level, the experience of being verbally abused.
Sounds like a working definition of low-end masochism to me.
My Dad would have called what “Joe” does here as “mental masturbation”….
Why would I stop visiting this page? It costs me nothing. And it is morbidly entertaining.
Yes it’s morbidly entertaining – for us. There’s something quite fascinating about seeing someone who apparently loves verbal abuse keep coming back for more and more and more . . . all while not realizing he’s the equivalent of slapstick comedy of the “drooling idiot on parade” variety.
C’mon, Joe: offer still stands. You obviously hate the US. Move overseas – and after you provide verifiable proof you’ve also renounced US citizenship, I’ll kick in a couple hundred to defray some of your travel expenses.
Put your money away, Hondo. I’ll wager that a poll of TAH readers would heavily favor keeping Joe around for entertainment purposes. Lars seems to be showing up less so maybe we need a new bottom chicken in the TAH pecking order. With his masochistic tendencies, Joe’s perfect for that role.
Hmmm, I wonder if Joe knows that the bottom chicken in a pecking order is called a “nibless pecker”?
Bless you Claw, that is truly priceless. May I suggest that from this point forward, Joe be known as TAH’s nibless pecker?
Poe, Yes you may.
Suggestion fully approved to have Joe called the nibless pecker of TAH.
So let it be written.
So let it be done.
Attaboy, Joe, just gotta call me a sexist homophobe and racist, doncha? Jeez, can’t you guys ever come up with an actual argument? I guess that’s hard to do when the facts argue against you so clearly, so you just throw out your usual liberal bullshit.
Well, it’s because he doesn’t have anything else, Poetrooper. He also likes to throw in random vocabulary words as something he thinks is a challenge to us less worthy mortals. It’s one of the few means he has of getting attention.
He’s just following the libtard/proggie playbook… and waiting for that Skittle shitting unicorn that farts cotton candy to be sent to him from Bernie and Jill.
“…Attaboy, Joe, just gotta call me a sexist homophobe and racist, doncha?” I don’t have to call you that, you’ve demonstrated it yourself over the years.
More liberal projection at work there Joe? Funny but in all the years I’ve been writing for American Thinker I’ve never been identified by my readers as either a sexist or a homophobe. I have been called a racist several times but only because I was critical of your Great One.
Back when I studied anthropology in college, epigenetics was referred to the inheritance of acquired characteristics and was thoroughly discounted by my professors. I had numerous disagreements with them because I felt the evidence for it was so strong.
As for what makes a person homosexual, I agree that in some it is likely a genetic cross-wiring that is unavoidable. I believe some of it, especially in genetically masculine men, is nurturing in the form of smother-mothering, a phenomenon I’ve witnessed in my own family. A great deal of it I attribute to “opportunity” as in men who have an unusually strong sexual dynamic and the inability to satisfy that drive heterosexually. These are the risk-taking homosexuals drawn to gay bathhouses, bars and even public parks, for anonymous sexual encounters.
As stated earlier, I believe that many people who are physically unattractive to the opposite sex may seek out others of their same sex out of a resigned acceptance of their unattractiveness. I think this is particularly true with “Butch” lesbians, especially when combined with the genetic misfortune to be excessively masculine in appearance.
I confess what baffles me is “lipstick lesbianism” where attractive women are drawn to one another exclusively but it may be no more than eroticism which explains why it arouses men so strongly and universally and male homosexuality repulses them equally strongly.
See, Joe? I’m not quite the ignorant bigot and rustic rube you want to paint me simply because you have no effective rebuttals to the conservative views I espouse.
I will confess to one human phobia, Joe and that is smugaphobia: I simply can’t stand smug liberals who think they’re so damned much smarter and morally superior to everyone else.
That wouldn’t describe you now would it, Joe?
That’s not a phobia, PT.
Phobia implies unreasonable fear. I kinda doubt you fear smug liberal hypocritical a-holes like Joe.
Further, it’s not unreasonable to detest those who warrant being detested – like smug a-hole hypocrites. Most liberals fit that description.
You’re correct, Hondo. I was using the term in the sense of revulsion or hatred, neither of which apply to me.
