Hollywood’s politics deserve a boycott

A new slap in the face of the U.S. by Hollywood – friends of the U.N. A new name for an old group of actors, producers and executives who want to undermine our government’s plan to keep citizens safe from terrorism at home and around the world.

They plan to wear peace doves at the upcoming Academy Awards. I guess they would rather be governed by a world government than the United States of America.

They live and work, if you can call it work, in a world of make believe. The salaries they receive come from ticket sales from you and me. I think a boycott by U.S. citizens of all Hollywood movies, including movie rentals and television, is appropriate and should start with the Academy Awards show.

They may even clean up their programming. The dictionary defines academy as an association of scholars
