Hollywood's Anti-Trump Minstrel Show

“There are 538 members of the Electoral College. You, and just 36 other conscientious Republican electors could make a difference by voting your conscience on [Monday] December 19th and thereby shaping the future of our nation.” – Celebrity-laden political commercial by Unite For America

Fair and square, President-elect Donald Trump won. One meaningful measure is 30 of 50 states. Another is the most counties of any Republican since Ronald Reagan. That translates into a clear and definitive electoral victory of 306 votes. (Recall, the threshold to the presidency is 270.) Though Crooked Hillary conceded the election the morning after, she still backed Green Party Jill Stein's futile recount efforts which came to naught. Now, cry baby progressives have moved on a truly unprecedented step: the use of Hollywood actors as mouthpieces to directly lobby the Electoral College to nullify the people's selection.

So, presidential electors shouldn't do the right thing by honoring the results of the 2016 election? Thus, the standards of 29 states and the District of Columbia that bind their electors (via state law and/or by state or party pledge) to cast their vote for the candidate who wins the statewide popular vote should be summarily ignored? Great advice from people who make believe for a living! Naturally, they don't mean twice-failed Hillary. The empty-headed limousine liberals nebulously advocate “anyone but Trump.” How is that not lawlessness—the naked call of anarchy? Should American representative electors act like Iranian ayatollahs? In Unite For America's fascist propaganda, that's what the unhinged—like former pretend “West Wing” president Martin Sheen—want.

One wonders what's worse for hounded GOP electors: the nutty death threats they've received or being publicly called out by dopey Hollywood elitists? Please immediately send supportive emails to your elector via the website: electorsfortrump.com. Let them hear encouraging messages from patriotic Americans before they cast their votes for our 45^th president this Monday.

Bodily harm greater than secret shame

According to Washington Post columnist Lonnae O'Neal, Charlie Sheen is a victim. Raised in Beverly Hills by the Hollywood set, sharing famous father Martin Sheen's movie star good looks, and success as an award winning actor with both a highly successful movie career (lead character in Best Picture “Platoon” (1986); opposite Michael Douglas's Oscar-winning performance in “Wall Street” (1987)) as well as being a one-time highest paid TV actor at $2 million per episode. Further, a previous marriage to fellow actress, former Bond girl bombshell Denise Richards wasn't half bad either. Indeed, by any rational standard, Mr. Sheen the younger, has led a very charmed life.

Yes, Charlie had the world on a string—and understandably millions would have traded places with him. Many brave souls among us probably still would despite Mr. Sheen's new public disclosure as HIV positive. After all, while not cured, there are effective treatments. Likewise, the very real terror of the disco era late 70's and early 80's and the stigma faced by Rock Hudson and Freddie Mercury is nothing compared to the educated and tolerant attitudes of today.

Per 2012 World Health Organization (WHO) figures HIV is the 6th leading cause of deaths worldwide at 1.5 million. So, the threat—same as the stigma—has receded, but remains real. Yet, Charlie Sheen should not be portrayed as a victim due to his poor personal life choices. With this wrong-headed assertion, Ms. O'Neal has missed the mark: the true victims here are Mr. Sheen's sexual partners—who did not know about his status—and may have contracted the virus from him. In the final analysis public health trumps “sick” secret shame every time.
