#1 Just how many prominent Hollywood lefties have been assassinated in recent years?

Well, there was, uh, wait a second, have it right here; somewhere; and, uh, lemme see, well I'm sure there have been many and a Canadian professor told me so, so there.

The belief in European superiority couldn't be chauvinistic, could it? Does any Hollywood uber-conformist terror-apologist and euro-dhimmi actually know who Chauvin was and how his name became a term of opprobrium? For that matter, who invented "jingoism" and where?

The otherwise idiotarian Andrew Young was exactly right when he said that the British and French invented racism and franchised it to everyone else.
The ancient peasant need for prejudice and presumed superiority remains, only the targets have changed, and not even that in all cases.

Paltrow is the equivalent of the shuckin' and jivin' minstrel show performers of a bygone era, pandering to Euro-bigots and profiting from her own debasement.

While we are on that theme, Michael Moore's fat, slovenly persona is akin to a white man wearing blackface, a caricature revealing the performer's real prejudice.

#2 Another thing, I'll bet she still uses her American Express card.
That simply won't do.
We should come up with a new card for these rich expats who are so uncomfortable with jingoistic, provocative terms like "American".

Call it the UN Express Card, pay in $10,000 and get 8 cents worth of credit.

Perhaps a selfless, compassionate NGO card would be more to her liking.
The Amnesty International Card: one rate for Americans and their friends, a much lower one for third world dictators and interest-free for Palestinian "resistance-fighters."

How about the Trotskyite Express Card of Britain? Pay 40% of your income every month whether you charge anything or not.

#5 America to Gwenyth...

Get the hell out and don't come back. Raise your bastard in France where he will feel at home.

#6 She's been spending way to much time in ultra-patriotic, rightwing, gun-worshipping Los Angeles.

#7 The otherwise idiotarian Andrew Young was exactly right when he said that the British and French invented racism and franchised it to everyone else.

Actually, Andrew Young has a perfect record of being wrong. Neither the British nor the French invented racism. Racism is something that predates the French and British empires by thousands of years. Genocidal wars between major civilizations were the rule, not the exception way before either the Gauls or the Celts became cohesive tribes. In times of old, racism was so prevalent that encouraging the move of entire populations from conquered territories was considered a merciful gesture - it was practised by ancient civilizations everywhere. (The Jews fled from the Assyrians, the Huns fled from the Chinese, et al).

This is a lot like the canard that Europeans invented imperialism. Civilizations everywhere have been conquering weaker neighbors for thousands of years. Europeans merely had an uncharacteristic period of dominance for a few hundred years. Unlike Europeans, many of the traditional non-European imperialists are now feeling their oats, now that they're becoming more developed. (Not having experienced the horrors of either WWI or WWII, they're spoiling for a fight over territorial grievances, real or imagined). In fact, the wars of the future are likely to be among non-European powers looking for a rematch with regard to territorial losses suffered in the past*.

* They always overlook the gains - the losses were a tragedy and a crime, whereas the gains were only what they deserved.

#9 Gwyneth Paltry has kept her head up her ass for so long she's used to the smell of shit.

#10 She does have wonderful hair though. And a pouty smile. The camera just loves her. I'll miss you Gwenyth. I'll check you website often as well as your chatroom.

PS, She'll be back.

#11 Hey, give gWhineth some credit; she is one of the only Hollyweirdoes who actually have left the country. I'm STILL waiting for all those wackoes who keep threatening to move to Europe to in fact do so. Streisand, Altman, Baldwin, et al, will you guys please put or shut up ?

#12 Eurostan. God what a perfect term for the future Europe. If you don't mind Badanov, I'm gonna adopt it and overuse it as if it were my own.

#13 Paltrow is the pampered daughter of another actress (Blythe Danner?) - doubt she knows the true meaning of middle-America or any person of humble beginnings. Which leads me to surmise that she probably doesn't know any gun-toting super pat's or that her child ever would as people of that societal ilk do not associate with those of our ilk. You know, us jingoistic, redneck, knuckle-dragging, gun-toting, meat-eating, blue-collar, nationalists.......traits to live up to if you ask me.

Apparently she watches too much Peter Jennings. If she did live in the states, most likely her kid would go to some high cost prep school. Anyways, if gun-toting super patriots are the worse thing about this country to her - may I live to be a 120 year old proud American. BTW - I always thought most of her movies sucked anyways.

#14 At the time of the Iraq war, the star-spangled girl informed another British interviewer. âI love America and I completely stand behind America..."

Then you take the bad along with the good. Sorry, but the world doesn't revolve around the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow. Deal with it.

#15 I am tired of being called a gun toter. I don't even own a gun. But I have had my eye on this nice M1911A1, so who knows: maybe I will get one.

Ruprecht, I probably picked it up from elsewhere and I dont know where, so feel free. I will start using it myself.

#16 In her defense, she did go to a public high school in Long Island. Granted, she lived in a really upscale town, so the school wasn't bad. But she didn't go to prep school.

That said, she's still an idiot.

#17 Shouldn't she and Depp take their complaints to the ICC. I mean American officials couldn't be charged or anything but it could be a photo-op like when Sally Fields testifies on the plight of textile workers because she starred in Norma Rae.

#18 The left says that "Bush is stifling dissent!", when in reality what has happened is there is no long a market for their drooling idiot ideas.

to quote Jack Nickloson: " Go sell your crazy somewhere else, were all full up here"
