Quite a list

Dennis Miller:... “I say we create a new airline, called the ACLA, the American Civil Liberties Airline where you don’t check anybody, you don’t ask any questions, and let those morons fly on that one.”

Britney Spears - "I am for the war because if we don't take care of this now it will lead to more terrorism and more deaths. I think war is reasonable and I think its right what we are doing and giving the Iraqi people freedom." (from britneyspears.org)

She's be dangerous if she ever had a real thought.


Denis Leary - "I think we should take Iraq and Iran and combine them into one country and call it Irate. All the pissed off people live in one place and get it over with."

And of course people would be disappointed if there wasnt at least some kind of French bashing ;)


Marge Simpson - We can stand here like the French, or we can do something about it.

[Trigger]

woot
Thanks Nicky!

[Sierra]

Thats awesome. Good to know theres famous people behind Bush.


Marge Simpson - We can stand here like the French, or we can do something about it.


Jay Leno - I don't know why people aren't surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the Germans out of France! That sounds like something Leno would say.




David Letterman - : “How many folks saw Colin Powell at the UN? I thought he was pretty persuasive, but a lot of folks are still demanding more evidence, you know, before they actually consider Iraq a threat. For example, France. France wants more evidence, they demand more evidence. And I’m thinking, the last time France wanted more evidence it rolled right through Paris with a German flag.” woot Go Letterman!


Wayne Gretzky - "All I can say is the president of the United States is a great leader, I happen to think he's a wonderful man and if he believes what he's doing is right I back him 100 percent, If the president decides to go to war he must know more than we know, or we hear about. He must have good reason to go and we have to back that." Speaking about the views in Canada, as well as the outspoken Hollywood establishment, Gretzky said, "I guess we get it more in the United States because actors and singers -- they all think they know politics. I'm tired of watching people who are not in politics give their opinions. Quite frankly that's what we have governments for and that's why we elect governments." (from canoe.ca) When Gretzky announced this way back when, some ****in assholes vandalized his statue because he supported Bush.

Bush & .... 2004! woot

[American Patriot]

Denis Leary is pro-Kerry

A site where you can see all of the political contributions that celebrities have given (not that it matters who they give it too, but gives you an idea of who they generally support)

[HumanShield]

Charlie Daniels - to "The Hollywood Bunch": "You people are some of the most disgusting examples of a waste of protoplasm I've ever had the displeasure to hear about.... If I see any of your names on a marquee, I'm going to boycott the movie. I will completely stop going to movies if I have to. In most cases it certainly wouldn't be much of a loss."
woot


R. Lee Ermey - who made his name as the fearsome drill sergeant in the film Full Metal Jacket, told The Telegraph that Barbara Streisand's views were far from representative of Hollywood as a whole. "Once again, Barbra Streisand has opened her alligator-sized mouth wide before her humming-bird brain has had a chance to catch up," said Ermey. "Of course, she has the right to her opinion, but what she does is use the 'bully pulpit', helped by her fame, and people think she's talking for Hollywood." Ermey, an ex-marine and outspoken supporter of President Bush and the war on terror, continued: "We need to do something about the situation before it turns round and bites us in the ass. Democrats are criticizing President Bush for not spotting signs that 9/11 was coming. But they don't want him to act to stop the next disaster. Ms Streisand does not speak for me or many other folks in this business."

Streisand is now Ermeys bitch



Toby Keith - The country singer accused ABC’s Peter Jennings of booting him from an ABC 4th of July special, to be hosted by Jennings, because Jennings objected to the lyrics of Keith’s song, “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue:”

“This big dog will fight/
“When you rattle his cage/
“And you'll be sorry that you messed with/
“The U.S. of A./
“'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass/
“It's the American way.”


That song is my all time favorite

[Macs.]

Denis Leary is pro-Kerry

So if you are not Pro-Bush, or Pro-War, you are not a patriot ?

[Operation Ivy]

“This big dog will fight/
“When you rattle his cage/
“And you'll be sorry that you messed with/
“The U.S. of A./
“'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass/
“It's the American way.”


Love that song, Go america :D

The Jingoists will say that. They will claim that is you are not Pro-Bush, or at least not Pro-War, you are giving aid to the enemy.

Posted by Hal Cranmer - February 7, 2004 11:50 AM (cranmerhal@hotmail.com)

I would like to add my two cents about my John Kerry experience. During my career as an Air Force pilot, I spent two years flying a small twin-engine prop plane around the Pacific from my base in Okinawa, Japan. On one trip we had to fly Senator Kerry, his congressional aide, and a Navy Captain (Vietnam, A-4 fighter pilot) who was also in Kerry's party to various locations in Vietnam and Cambodia as part of the MIA/POW talks.

When I met him, he was wearing a shirt with a picture of his sailboat on it. I told him I had a small 27 sailboat in Okinawa, he remarked "Oh I never sail on anything less than 135 feet." When we first flew him into Phnom Penh, he went to the back of the airplane and grabbed the pizza that was put aside for the crew and passed it around to his staff. He was never offered any pizza because they were supposed to have lunch with the Cambodian government once we landed. The pizza would have been our only meal that day.

Then when we picked him up in Cambodia, he was an hour late getting to the airport. We could not start the engines and therefore the air conditioning until he arrived. Phnom Penh at that time was over 100 degrees with 95% humidity and we were basically sitting in a greenhouse behind the cockpit windows. When he finally did arrive, we were wringing out our clothes from the perspiration. He walks out of the air-conditioned car, into the airplane and asks us "Could you guys get the air conditioning running, I'm a little warm?" The other pilot had to physically restrain me from going back there and picking a fight.

Then we took him into Noi Bai airfield in Hanoi. After we picked him up the next day (he stayed the night in Vietnam, we stayed in Bangkok) we taxied out, ran up the engines for takeoff, and noticed that our prop rpm was vibrating all over the place. We taxied off to the side to look at it, but there was a good possibility that there was an engine malfunction and the engine may fail if we took off with it. Well, Mr. Senator sticks his head up in the cockpit and says "This plane WILL take off, I have a press conference in Bangkok in three hours!" (Maybe this is an indication of how he will run the FAA). We ran the engines again, and did not have the problem, so we took off and made it back.

During the flight, he told everyone how he had taken a Cessna (a small General aviation plane) up with a fighter pilot, and the fighter pilot remarked that Kerry was one of the best pilots he had ever seen. I don't know about other pilots out there, but it's hard to imagine a little, single-engine prop plane pilot being able to show the "right stuff." After Kerry left the plane, the Navy Captain came up to us, apologized and said basically that "he knows Kerry is a jerk" and that we should be glad we don't have to deal with him every day.

What is a patriot?

According to the dictionary, it's

one who loves his or her country and supports its authority and interests

Note that it says AND supports its authority and interests. It is not enough to simply like it here.

But the left has certainly stated many times that they do not support our authority and/or interests.

Madeline Albright said a few years back (while in office) that she was afraid that America was too powerful..and was afraid of frightening other nations. She wanted to tone down America's military. Is that supportive of our authority?

Columbia University Anthropology professor Nicholas De Genova stated at an anti-War rally: “The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military. I personally would like to see a million Mogadishus.” Supportive of our interests?

Michael Moore has made numerous statements overseas - calling Americans the "stupidest people on earth" , calling the Iraqis who bomb our military the "new minutemen", and proclaiming that they will win.
Supportive of our interests?

I would not automatically label a Kerry supporter or anti-War person as a non-patriot. You have to know why they think the way they do in order to make that statement. And there are probably Bush supporters who aren't patriots as well. But it is worth noting who the non patriots are rooting for. ;)

Just pointing out that Leary is not a fan of Bush and he hasn't said anything funny since No Cure For Cancer and is also a wannabe firefighter. :)

Wayne Gretzky - "...Gretzky said, "I guess we get it more in the United States because actors and singers -- they all think they know politics. I'm tired of watching people who are not in politics give their opinions. Quite frankly that's what we have governments for and that's why we elect governments." (from canoe.ca)

I think Wayne would probably agree in retrospect that the above statement is not the brightest one in the world.

Yes, thats right. It's quite funny actually...these people calling themselfs patriots...

So according to that definition our founding fathers were un-patriotic. rofl
Nice one Jackson... :roll:

Exactly what i was thining.
And why was he on this list of patriotic celebrities if he isnt even an American?

[Midav]

I could be wrong, but believe Wayne Gretzky is a dual citizen.

[Midav]

He is (http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1048585693197_256/?hub=TopStories)

He also has a cousin in Iraq, who is serving in the USMC. Didn't know that!

Nothing wrong with being a dual citizen. Am one myself ;)

Yeah but the asshole song is still very funny. ;)
