Viggo Mortensen Rant - I LOVE this guy!

"Mr. Obama,
You are a fine speechmaker and have helped the government and people of the U.S.A. generally feel a more sincere and positive connection to the civilized world than they have had a right to feel in recent years. However, to name a few of what I honestly feel are dangerously misguided positions..."

"Mr. Cheney,
Please return to cuddling up on your immense pile of blood-soaked plunder and go back to sleep. You are a lying, mercenary, savagely cruel, shameless coward. You were a child once; please remember that there are children and families of these children in the United States of America and in the rest of the world who suffer long-lasting harm from your merciless, uncompassionate words and actions, and from your continuing unrepentant espousal of the same.

V.M."

I hope he knows Cheney still owns blackwater.

It's owned by Erik Prince. He founded it using his then recently-deceased daddy's money.

1) Afghanistan is not a “good” war.
2) The government and people of Israel ought not be held in higher esteem than those of any other nation.
3) Most importantly, you should not let Cheney, G.W. Bush, and other immoral, murderous criminals in their administration off the hook. You and your relatively new government are, it is hoped, better than Gerald Ford and his government, who unforgivably pardoned the wretched criminal Richard Nixon for somewhat less significant wrongdoings and betrayals of the people of this and other countries than Cheney and company are guilty of.

And before anyone says "well, he's just an actor, so who cares what he thinks". He's an American citizen with a right to free speech like any of us. His rights-like ours- are equal to Obama's or Cheney's or anyone else's...in theory, at any rate.

Same damn qualifications (Hollywood actor)!

But then again, they always seems to have two different sets of rules for themselves and for others...

People like Viggo, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, can actually ACT.

... Not to the same extent these other folks can.

And there are so many others you could include in this too that have some sense as well on our side that can act...
John Cusack, Charlize Theron, Danny Glover, George Clooney, etc.

And others that can play some pretty damn fine music too!
Dave Matthews, Harry Belafonte, Willie Nelson, etc.

Look at all of the great works of art that these sorry right wingers have to "boycott" to "measure up" to their values...

Perhaps they should boycott Rush for playing the Pretenders so much too! :)

:loveya:

such intelligent prose?
I think not.

Very well stated opinion on V.M.'s part

I like this guy. His acting too, I can't wait to see "The Road." Loved the book.

Now I would Vote for THAT Ticket.

I think I met him, once. Nice guy.
