Last night, Barack Obama was celebrated at an extravagant fundraiser hosted by actress Gwyneth Paltrow, a far left wing activist. The event featured some of the biggest names in Hollywood, such as actress Julia Roberts. Tickets cost as much as $15,000 each with the funds benefitting the Democratic National Committee.
When introducing Obama, Paltrow gushed, “I am one of your biggest fans, if not the biggest.” After a series of inane comments, the Obama super fan uttered her most idiotic statement, “It would be wonderful if we were able to give this man all of the power he needs to pass the things he needs to pass.”
Obviously, Paltrow does not have any understanding of American history or the basic tenets of our constitutional republic. She must want to eliminate our constitutional checks and balances and institute some sort of Obama dictatorship. It is bad enough that the President has expanded the powers of his office in relation to an “inert” Congress, but he will soon be granting amnesty via executive order to millions of illegal immigrants. This upcoming move will create economic misery and will not only circumvent Congress, but it will also violate the law.
Incredibly, the expanded executive powers of President Obama are not enough for Hollywood liberals. Paltrow seemingly wants to disband Congress, especially since the House is led by Republicans, and let Obama have ultimate power to rule over his loyal subjects, like the big Democrat Party donors in Hollywood.
The problem for Gwyneth’s dreamy scenario is the millions of hard working; patriotic Americans who have different ideas on how this country should be governed. Such freedom loving Americans are not enamored with socialism, open borders, and political correctness. To deal with such troublemakers, Paltrow may soon advocate the elimination of all elections and the placement of these irritating conservatives, who are blocking the President’s enlightened agenda, into political internment camps.
Heaven help America if the wishes of Paltrow and Hollywood are ever achieved. It would mean the end of our country as we know it and the total elimination of our cherished constitutional freedoms that are guaranteed in our Bill of Rights.
Hopefully, Paltrow was just mesmerized by Obama’s star power and not thinking clearly. In fact, she admitted her mental troubles by gushing to President Obama, “You’re so handsome that I can’t speak properly.”
While the President’s good looks may be in the eye of the beholder, there is no disputing that Paltrow can’t speak or think properly. At the event, she called herself a “working mother,” who was pleased that the President pushed for equal pay for woman. Any pampered and over paid Hollywood star who equates her status to working mothers insults the millions of women in this country who are struggling to survive in the Obama economy.
The best way to help working women and all workers in America is not to institute more government rules and regulations, burdening business with equal pay requirements. Our objective needs to switch from growing the welfare state and government bureaucracy to unleashing the free market. If we would reduce needlessly high personal and corporate tax rates, it would give our economy the fuel to grow, thereby creating millions of high paying jobs. Such a plan would help all Americans, even those who can’t speak properly.
