It's seldom one hears anything positive about America or patriotic coming out of Hollywood. It's nothing like it was during World War II, when Hollywood felt it was its job to keep America's spirits and pride up even at the toughest of times.
So when a sensible, direct statement comes from a Hollywood figure it is a reason to cheer. However, one can be sure that most of the media will ignore it because it doesn't fit with their Obama-the-next-president narrative.
Jon Voight knows what he's talking about. An excerpt:
Our soldiers are lifting us to an example of patriotism at a time when we've almost forgotten who we are and what is at stake. If Mr. Obama had his way, he would have pulled our troops from Iraq years ago and initiated an unprecedented bloodbath, turning over that country to the barbarianism of our enemies.With what he has openly stated about his plans for our military, and his lack of understanding about the true nature of our enemies, there's not a cell in my body that can accept the idea that Mr. Obama can keep us safe from the terrorists around the world, and from Iran, which is making great strides toward getting the atomic bomb.
Read it all.
