Is Hollywood predominantly Liberal because they have lost the ability to discern reality from the fantasy worlds they inhabit, far removed from logic and reason?

When one has lost the ability to distinguish fact from fiction, one becomes a Liberal.

    The reason Hollywood is predominately Liberal is because acting, writing and directing requires well developed Empathy, and Empathy is anathema to Conservatism.

    The movie industry makes a lot of booty off of those who can afford the movie tickets. They want to give back to the less fortunate, and that is why they are predominantly liberal!

    It certainly isn't because they have lost the ability to discern reality from fantasy, these are smart people. There are a few crazies like Mel Gibson but for the most part they are smart and logical.

    I should add the caveat that non-liberals such as Clint Eastwood (along with Jon Voight Chuck Norris) have certainly seem to have lost "reality". lol

    But then when we were in New Orleans last year, we toured the area where Brad Pitt worked and gave millions of his own dollars to build homes for the people of that beleagured city. I would tend to say that he and many others in the entertainment industry, (many who came up in poverty or low income families), have contributed and shared their good fortunes.

    Then you have offensive, hateful knotheads like Hank Williams, Jr., who I would be thoroughly ashamed to have on our side.

    That's so true Sissy.
    The Liberal Stars put their money where their mouths are. Brad donated multi millions and DESIGNED special homes for the victims of Katrina. It must have been exciting to actually see it! Their philanthropy work is amazing.

    oh, you think hollywood is lost from reality and they live in a fantasy world? tell me more about this bible with talking animals and superheroes.

    at least in the entertainment industry the people that work in it and the people watching know it isn't real.

    Birds of a feather do flock together, as the old saying goes, so it is not surprising that liberal youth flock to areas and industries that have a large, openly liberal population. However, I think that perception has a lot to do with this -- I know of a number of folks in the arts and entertainment industry that are conservative (or libertarian), but they certainly do not advertise their views to the public. It is almost like they have to stay "in the closet" (so to speak) in order to maintain their artistic credibility. In the arts and entertainment industry, the fact that liberals can be open in their views, while conservatives generally seem to hide their views, goes a long way in skewing the public perception of Hollywood. Conversely, I would imagine that other industries (like Wall Street, for example) encourage open discussion of capitalist and conservative viewpoints, and folks with a more populist and/or socialist viewpoint probably either stay away, or hide their views.

    Most liberals want a healthy balance between capitalism and socialism, which is how the country thrives. To say that liberals want only socialism is an out and out lie from the conservative, under educated segment of the population. Hopefully that is not you.

    Something is wrong with them. I read a article in a magazine about an actress telling her daughter not bring up her religion or political affiliation in Hollywood. Cause she would end up unemployed. So If you thinking about acting and your a republican or christian, you can find another career path if you bring that subject up.

    Clint Eastwood has been a known conservative for decades. Chuck Norris has been a known conservative for decades. I don't think that holds true.

    That's not true at all. Many people discuss their religion out here, especially the Jewish religion. My husband and I are both in the business. That's what makes the area so diverse, the multi-cultural mix.

    I think they are all in a fantasy world since they think they can get away with doing drugs and fighting in public places without a care for the consequences because they hardly ever have to face them because WE treat them like they're special and above the average person with all the magazine articles of so and so got married or divorced or whatever.

    Very good logic! It also has to do with the guilt of making money you do not deserve and failing to be charitable, so to assuage the guilt they want the government to take the burden off them for doing charity because they don't want to get their hands dirty!

    No. The reality is we only know the political views of a few celebrities and media personalities. To assume they are all Liberal is as stupid as assuming Bush was a Liberal because he signed legislation Liberals wrote. The fact is that the television networks are Liberal (except FOX) and they focus on celebrities who share their ideological views.

    But here's the thing... all the networks are owned by Conservative corporations and they're losing millions of dollars by staying leftwing as that gives FOX exclusive viewership of rightwing and right leaning Moderates so on any given day FOX has more viewers than all the other networks combined... because all the other networks split the other half of American viewers between them which is a losing proposition.

    So why do rightwing corporations own leftwing news networks losing hundreds of millions of dollars?

    Think about it... they choose leftwing news personalities to make leftwing viewers stupid. It's just that simple because these rightwing corporations know that controlling information controls those on the receiving end and since the 1970's when the news media outlets shifted to the left, the political left has become so blind, ignorant and downright oblivious to reality at times that many of them are filled with hate for t...

Maybe they still view that they are on a moral high ground because of the ideals behind the ideology, they fail to grasp the reality that while the ideals may be noble... their implementation has been corrupted by the Communists and Socialists among them who call themselves Liberals and Progressives.

    Hollywood personalities are not Liberals... they are Socialists and they use their political influence to encourage Liberals to support their views. That is especially true of the young. The funny thing is that during the Red Scare, Liberal Democrats were the ones writing most of the Anti Communist legislation trying to purge the Communists and Socialists from their political ideology rather than just from the Democratic Party. When they essentially lost, that's when the Neocons began shifting to the Republican Party... but the Neocons at this time also called themselves Liberals interchangeably with Neocon because they began as Liberals and broke from the leftwing Liberals... Neocons are essentially rightwing Liberals which is why they support the welfare state, illegal immigration and respond to foreign political matters with military force or threats first before looking at diplomatic options... all things Conservatives do not support revealing that they have been infiltrated by foreign political views as well.

    The problem is that Conservative actors in Hollywood are focusing their activities on their political views which include focusing on family, their careers and any social work they do is in person trying to accomplish things on their own rather than exploiting their fame to manipulate the masses.

    If you examine most of the Liberals who promote their views to the masses, they're hypocrites who use their fame to manipulate their fans to do things or live their lives in ways that these celebrities themselves do not live their lives the ways they promote to others.

    In regards to discerning reality... if you have rightwing corporations controlling and selecting leftwing media personalities who are causing them to lose hundreds of millions of dollars... it means they are using them purposely to destroy support for leftwing political views and to buy off leftwing politicians whom these leftwing personalities promote knowing these political leaders will have so little support overall that they will essentially destroy their credibility.

    Hollywood is predominantly liberal because the people there have so much money that they don't worry (so much) about the mundane stuff that bothers the rest of us, like jobs, health insurance, bills ... and they are able to ponder loftier concerns ... in a sense, they have attained a higher level on Maslow's heirarchy of self actualization and are more free in terms of brain power to consider the bigger picture ... which naturally leads them to see more universal truths than people stuck on the lower rungs of the evolutionary ladder ...

    of course, some people in hollywood are just plain ol' stupid idiots no matter how much money they have ...
