I read an interesting article from the Washington Times, written to Steven Spielberg, regarding Hollywood’s prejudices.

It served as another reminder, that no matter how much Hollywood hypocritically preaches tolerance, especially for gays, it does not practice it when it comes to others.

Christians, blacks and immigrants are often treated very badly by the industry and portrayed in very degrading and offensive ways in Hollywood movies and television shows. It's nothing to be proud of, as it sends a terrible message to the nation and the watching world.

The attitude among quite a few in Hollywood is that of, when they hear you're a Christian, they will form a cabal to destroy you and your company. They will call their friends and affiliates at media outlets to blacken your name with the public. They will blacklist you from services available to others, via calling in favors at business establishments. They will threaten others that if they deal with you, they cannot deal with them.

They will do their level best to run you out of town, all whilst operating outside the law in achieving this ghastly goal. They are going to go too far with it one day and create a self-made catastrophe that Hollywood will forever be associated with in a very negative light.

Op-ed To Steven Spielberg appeared in the Washington Times

The bias that exists in Hollywood is so terrible that it's not concealable. That's how brazenly far it goes. The ironic thing is, if the same were done to them, they’d be devastated and demand recompense.

The unevenness and downright hatred Hollywood exhibits against the aforementioned groups is appalling and paints an ugly picture of a town that prides itself on so-called tolerance, when it is anything but tolerant.

Then there is that nasty arrogance in blacklisting those for being, saying or doing something they do not like. It’s pretty sick to think any industry would brag about the unlawful, discriminatory phrase, “You’ll never work in this town again” as if it is something good or admirable.

It doesn’t show power. It demonstrates ignorance, barbarism and an abusive mentality. The mere fact that anyone would seek to deprive another of gainful employment, which is essentially putting food on one’s family’s table, is shameful and un-American.

Yet, Hollywood routinely does this, because some misanthrope does not like another's religious beliefs, race or nationality, or took exception at something said that was protected by free speech.

The lengths some go to in Hollywood to destroy others is not only illegal (see the Anthony Pellicano case), but un-constitutional. Inmates running the asylum indeed

BREITBART: Mr. Spielberg, tear down this wall

But in this land of superficiality and augmented assets, the inconvenient truth is that, in Hollywood, absolute conformity to the Democratic Party is a well-constructed facade. The environment is not so much unfavorable to the Grand Old Party as it is utterly totalitarian. There's simply no lifestyle choice that receives a worse response at dinner parties.

Convicted murderer? Has anyone optioned the rights to your story?

Avowed Marxist? Viva la revolucion!

Scientologist? Do you take Visa or Mastercard?

Syphilitic drug abuser? Let's talk!

Conservative? You should go.

Only proclaiming one's self a practicing Christian is met with greater disdain - making Christian Republicans the gold standard in Hollywood pariah status. Fortunately, their Savior - that dude from Mel Gibson's highest-grossing blockbuster that was shunned by the major studios - wrote the script on how to live with an unpopular point of view.

When asked recently what it was like to work with "Republican" Clint Eastwood (the question speaks volumes), Angelina Jolie, a "surge" supporter who also wants to produce Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged," surprised Entertainment Weekly with her answer: "Actually, we don't disagree as much as you'd think. I think people assume I'm a Democrat. But I'm registered independent and I'm still undecided. So I'm looking at McCain as well as Obama."

You hedge, girl.

But Los Angeles is a one-company town. And because of bullying (or what Democrats would call blacklisting or "political discrimination," if the shoe were on the other foot), Hollywood has become a one-party town. History will show this dynamic hurt both the creative and the political processes.
