Liberal "Superstars"
are Socialist Losers

The multi-billion-dollar entertainment industry is undermining America's global war on terror, giving comfort and support to the radical Islamic terrorists who have declared war on all Americans. "We the people" are the "infidels" who the terrorists want to kill, along with wiping out all of Western Civilization, our Judeo-Christian foundation for more than 2,000 years.
I've had it with these ideological idiots like New Jersey's Bruce Springsteen, Mary Chapin Carpenter and others like them telling me how rotten we are because America is doing everything it can to liberate all Iraqis who are blowing up themselves and their Muslim mosques in a wild sectarian war between Muslim Sh'ites and Sunnis murdering one another.What madness!
How sick is that! It would be like Catholics killing Methodists and Baptists murdering Lutherans. That just doesn't happen in a country that still believes in freedom and respect for one's faith.
My wife and I spent $45 each to attend a concert by Mary Chapin Carpenter at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ, on the Jersey Shore. New Jersey is a deep blue state (socialism) and Red Bank is a fashionable downtown inhabited by plenty of sicko socialists. Too bad. Red Bank is really a neat waterfront community. But I prefer to eat and shop at a mall or bland outlet centers where I feel more comfortable with my wife, whose nickname is "Princess Go-Go Shop-a-Lot."
Halfway through Carpenter's energized concert, this cute blonde decided to ruin the show for half the country's conservative voters. She singled out Vice President Dick Cheney and U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales for their alleged misdeeds. I guess Carpenter didn't get flustered when the corrupt Bill Clinton fired all 93 U.S. prosecutors, but she was angry when Gonzales fired seven federal prosecutors for their incompetence.
These liberal socialists live by a perverted double-standard. It's okay if Clinton and his anti-American gang literally got away with cold-blooded murder (remember Hillary's legal counsel Vince Foster and those other victims in Little Rock, Arkansas?). But heaven forbid (do these people still believe in "God?") that a true conservative disagrees with their socialist/Marxist agenda: Welcome Communism, bye-bye capitalism.
The fascinating thing about these Hollywood superstars - from Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford - is that they are rare gifted artists, but their heads are still living in America's 1930s Depression era when the entertainment industry entertained communism. They're still stuck in a Stalinist time warp.
I really feel sorry for a child of the liberal-socialist movement because Mary Chapin Carpenter is truly blessed with God-given talent. She writes beautiful, touching lyrics and musical scores that bring cheers and whistles from her audiences (myself included). I love her talent, but not her self-destructive ideology.
Carpenter was born and raised in Princeton, NJ - a bastion of liberalism in a state where liberal Democrats outnumber conservatives two-to-one. Carpenter grew up in a socialist environment: Her mother played the songs of Woody Guthrie and Judy Collins, both socialists, laying the groundwork for a future musical career. What a shame.
New Jersey is a dysfunctional socialist state. Our liberal public officials imposed the first sales tax on New Jersey in 1966 and the state's first income tax in 1976.
That was the end of New Jersey's socioeconomic freedom.
Thanks to the tax-crazed "libs," the Garden State today has the nation's highest property taxes and highest cost of living. Residents and businesses that are much smarter than these vacuous liberals are leaving New Jersey to states that are much more economically friendly.
Meanwhile, the Mary Chapin Carpenters of America are singing about "World Peace" as they musically attack America's leader (President Bush) for being the only world leader fighting the global war on terror.
What utter hypocrisy!
Carpenter told the audience between her "song breaks" that her father took her to Trenton when she was a little girl (around 5 years old) when the body of U.S. Senator Bobby Kennedy (who was assassinated) passed through New Jersey on the way to be being buried next to his brother, President John Kennedy, at the "Eternal Flame" in Washington, D.C. The year was 1968, when Martin Luther King was also assassinated. It was a bad year for liberals.
While watching and listening to Carpenter's superb country western singing, I jotted down some notes on the playbill. One notation was: "She puts you in a state-of-mind where you're drifting and floating in a wave of mystical music - you're there but not there. You're in her glorious world of music and dreamy lyrics."
So why did she have to wipe out that splendid sensation, that aura of saintliness, by attacking our nation's vice president and United States Attorney? It's so stupid and juvenile.
My wife and I love Mary Chapin Carpenter, but not her politically-correct rhetoric.
On the way out of the theater, my wife bought Carpenter's latest CD of her best songs for $20. Yes, we'll love listening to her voice and words in our car and in our home.
No, I'm not vengeful, just disappointed in how the liberal media brainwashed this lovely, caring woman is nearly 50 years old. What a terrible thing to do to her and at least 150 million Americans who follow the liberal drum beat like brain-dead robots.
A footnote: Carpenter's band was absolutely brilliant, with John Jennings on Bass, Jon Carroll on piano, and Kevin Barry on guitar. They are a perfect combo, again, thanks to Mary Chapin Carpenter.
All of the above, after all, is what makes life interesting.
