OUR VIEW: Snobby Hateful Hollywood Does Not Speak Or Resemble Anything "Closer To The People's Point Of View"

Hollywood's self-proclaimed political activists turned out to participate in the "People's State of the Union" Monday night claiming they spoke for the nation in protest of tonight's State of the Union address by President Trump.

The star-studded event was hosted by outspoken Trump critic Mark Ruffalo who emceed the program which focused on the anti-Trump "Resistance" movement, immigration issues and attacking the "ugly underbelly" of Americans who voted for Trump.

Guess we have evolved. Hillary called us who supported President Trump "deplorables" in 2016, and now these Hollywood elites have given us a new name - "ugly underbellies." I'll take that name as a badge of honor considering the source from where that ugly jest came from.

Those would include other participants at the event featuring filmmaker Michael Moore, and actors Alyssa Milano, Rosie Perez, Cynthia Nixon, Whoopi Goldberg and Amy Schumer, no relation to Chucky boy even though I'm sure he was so proud of the group that supports his party the most and the group his party embodies the most.

For your information it was lesbian comedian Wanda Sykes who gave 63 million Americans the "underbelly" of society label comment.

"We're going to set our sights to continue that work in the next year, and strengthen our bonds and commitments to each other, for long after the Trump era comes to its rightful end," said Ruffalo. "We (ain't) stopping with Trump, OK?"

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore, whose latest attempt to criticize Trump with his Broadway show "The Terms of My Surrender" failed, said his 2018 to-do list includes the "widespread massive removal of Republicans from the House and Senate the likes of which this country has never seen."

Moore said removing Trump, Pence and "the whole disgusting lot of them" isn't enough.

"We must remove and replace the system and the culture that gave us Trump in the first place," he said adding "We must also cleanse our American soul of our white male privilege."

Later in the night, Amy Schumer introduced fellow comedian Wanda Sykes who spoke about the "ugly underbelly" of Trump supporters who voted him into office.

"Sex and the City" star Cynthia Nixon also took the stage calling 2017 a "dark year for America" and said Russian interference was to blame for "shifting the election" to Trump.

"First and foremost, we need to make sure that Robert Mueller is able to conduct a thorough and unimpeded investigation," Nixon said.

The three-hour event was sponsored by various left-wing organizations including Planned Parenthood and MoveOn.org and organizers of the Women's March.

Singer Andra Day and Common performed the song, “Stand Up for Something,” from the biopic film "Marshall," about the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.

It was marketed as a celebration of the “resistance,” closer to “the people’s point of view,” USA Today reported. Here is one tweet from actress Alyssa Milano to help us "underbellies" understand the "people's point of view:"

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump’s attacks on immigrants are rooted in white supremacy. His racist wall is a symbol of hate. #BreakTheWall #NoBanNoWall #DreamActNow

Now that I've given you the gory details let me give you the plain truth.

What liberal Hollywood did and said Monday was nothing remotely close to the "people's point of view."

What they did do and say was the point of view of the liberal, drug-induced, alien hat, conspiracy theorists, no brain retards, mentally deranged jobs in Hollywood, the baby killers at Planned Parenthood, the lesbians and transgenders, who seek to push their lifestyle on others, while screaming intolerance when they are told not everyone believes what they are doing is natural, a Women's March movement that demonizes American leadership and "white male privilege," and Move On.Org, which would rather see the American flag drenched in Communist red than freely display the red white and blue of capitalism.

Get it?

The people of California think that we are the United States of California and we are not. We are the United States of America.

Granted there were probably a few million out there who fully embraced this mentally deranged soap box that went down Monday night. I can guarantee you also however, there were tens of millions more in this nation who did not!!

If Hollywood so believes in their values, then they should get their hero, California Governor Jerry Brown to cede from the union, make California it's own supporting country, and embrace and enjoy their own liberal universe that would develop if this was done. The same could be said for the East Coast version of California, the state of New York.

The truth is, that Hollywood knows that if it did such they would be bankrupt in six months. Liberalism has failed in every form across this globe whenever it has been in power. There are NO examples of success where liberal mayors, governors or Presidents have led this nation.

Look at what we just dug out of from the past eight years. Look at history in general with nations who have tried this formula.

Venezuela comes to mind really quick. Haiti is another. History is littered with example after example that liberalism is a formula for destruction because it is not based on any sound principle whether its spiritual, economic or moral.

The only thing liberals like those in Hollywood want is to have those with the same wacky view of the world in power so they can push their liberal crap on those they control even if those who they control do not agree with their same wacky world view.

We pay our $10 at the movie box office to be entertained by these jerks, not lectured to or told they are speaking on behalf of the "people." It's like the NFL. Hollywood is coming precariously close to causing their "fans" to say "bye-bye" and stay at home and watch reruns of Hee-Haw instead of going to the theater.

Hee-Haw at least makes more sense in the long run.

The Grammys on Sunday night turned into a ratings nightmare and there was no NFL game on other stations the left could blame for the lack of care about the political BS that was on display.

Hollywood do not and never will speak for me, nor do they speak for hundreds of millions more in this nation who truly understand what has taken place this past year has been nothing short of a miracle. It’s not the view of us who love this nation and what it was founded on – freedom, democracy, and true justice.

President Trump is set to deliver his state of the Union speech Tuesday night at 9PM and it's supposed to be filled with optimism about America and at least a hope that he can work in a bi-partisan way with Congress in 2018. I truly hope that is the tone of this upcoming year. I don't hold out hope about the Congress thing.

I just hope President Trump knows who he is dealing with. Hollywood is tied to the same party the President is seeking to co-exist with. Good luck on that.

May God bless our President's efforts tonight and may he continue to expose those interested in his demise on a corrupt level we've never seen in this nation. What are the odds he reads that FISA memo tonight during his speech?

That would make Michael Moore and his friends go crazy wouldn't it?

What would happen if President Trump had ICE agents waiting at the door for the illegals and Dreamers the Dems plan to bring as their "guests?" Guess that'd make Mark Ruffalo go into cardiac arrest.

Hollywood will never understand middle America and middle America will never embrace the moral and political ideology of Hollywood.

So again, if this is how they feel about us who support traditional values and voted for President Trump the “underbelly of America,” then they can stay in their little corner of the world, we will stay in ours.

But never believe in 100 million years this was the “voice of the people” Monday night from New York City. This was the voice of actors who need to stick to acting and let the grown ups in the world run the country. Tick tock.
