"Hollywood Heroes": Mel Gibson, Tom Selleck, Andy Garcia, Gary Sinise...
and all the usual suspects. That right-wing rag, NewsMax, has named their 25 favorites in the entertainment industry, saving us the trouble of going through the exhausting, "You mean, ________'s a right-winger? OH NO!"

Who are America’s 25 Best Stars?
NewsMax Magazine’s latest edition, "Hollywood’s Heroes," is just out –and we name names.
<snip>
In NewMax’s “Hollywood’s Heroes” you’ll find out about the 25 stars who deserve acclaim for their courageous support of America and our troops. These are celebrities who live out the heartland’s values and stand up against Hollywood’s political correctness.

NewsMax’s “Hollywood Heroes” reveals America’s true role models, including:

Mel Gibson – what really happened to this megastar when he dared to produce “The Passion of the Christ.”

Tom Selleck – why he has not been afraid of standing up for Ronald Reagan, even when it wasn’t in vogue.

James Woods – he turned his back on Hollywood’s peaceniks to stand up for the war on terror.

Patricia Heaton – a crusader for family values, this actress would not give up her values for her career.
There are many more stars NewsMax salutes.

You’ll find their stories and why we rate them “America’s Best Stars.”

They include: Andy Garcia, Gary Sinise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, LL Cool J, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar, Dennis Miller, Denzel Washington, Robert Duvall, Catherine Bell, Danny Aiello, James Earl Jones, Ron Silver, Kelsey Grammer, Morgan Brittany, Ben Stein, Pat Boone, Kathy Ireland, Rick Schroeder and Bo Derek.

1. Geez, the only one I like on the list is Duvall...and I know he's way off.
He's just a talented guy. The rest of them are a bunch of dorks.

3. I love a lot of those people!
Gary Sinise especially. I'll watch the Lethal Weapons series on TBS every weekend if my wife will let me. :)

4. I wouldn't go to any movies or buy any products endorsed
by those stinking motherfuckers. I hate all of them with a blind passion. And, I believe my opinion is catching on.

6. Denzel Washington
James Earl Jones are not righties. And Robert Duvall is more of a libertarian!

8. Are you sure?
I'm not sure on Jones myself because I have a video of him doing a JFK special talking about all that and he was the host of that. I don't know if he was a rightwinger if he'd still do it. :shrug:

10. He's really apolitical actually
I saw him on This Week a few years ago and he would not be drawn into any partisan talk. But from some interviews and opinions he has had he doesn;t sound like a rightie. Also no contributions to political candidates that I can see.

12. Rick Schroeder? Feh.
He was the only one on NYPD Blue who truly sucked. Well, David Caruso was a close scond.

16. I haven't seen a thing with Andy Garcia
since he protested with the Miami Cubans, holding the line against returning Elian. And I liked him before that.

Haven't watched Selleck since he let it be known that he was an NRA
zealot and made that embarrassing appearance on television a couple of years ago.

My days of watching Raymond are over due to Patricia Heaton's hysterical call to arms for the Schindlers and mouthing all the fanatics clams about activist judges.

And Mel Gibson....he is a rogue Catholic as far as I am concerned...way off the deep end.
