It may no longer be in the way of continuing his 23-year
committment to girlfriend Susan Sarandon, but the liberal star
has, strangely, given some dough to Republicans. And to
Minnesota's right-wing, controversial, and
some-say-spotlight-seeking Rep. Michele Bachmann at that.
Loyal Dems would undoubtedly be gobsmacked to learn that, if
Federal Election Commission records are to be believed, Robbins
has not only donated regularly to Democratic candidates over
the past 18 years, he also has written checks to conservative
Republicans. In the 2006 election cycle, according to public
records, the actor gave $5,000 to 10 Republican candidates for
the House and Senate—including, most shocking of all,
Minnesota’s resident wingnut, Rep. Michele Bachmann.
What to make of it is that he's (if it is the real Tim Robbins,
Actor, and not some other real Tim Robbins,) obviously run up
against the wall of absurdity of the left. It takes a while for
the coffee smell to take effect, but then that's the best part of
waking up from liberal slumber -- but remember this: Ronald
Reagan was a Democrat too, once. And look how he changed -- or,
better -- how the Democrats went to the left -- and perhaps
Robbins is now seeing reality. Just a guess.
Now, if the GOP leaders had brains they'd invite Mr. Robbins to
meet with them, and find out what it is all about. Right? But we
can't even get the GOP muckymucks to support a GOP candidate in
an election in Massachusetts.
Still, every crack in the liberal thought-prison wall must be
exploited. Crowbarred, and pried apart. So perhaps why doesn't
American Spectator just call up Mr. Robbins and ask him? Maybe
the answer will be pleasing. Or maybe he had no idea he donated
to the "Wrong Side." Just ask, seek, ye, shall find.
I would be shocked if Tim Robbins, the actor, actually, knowingly
donated money to anyone who's to the right of Joseph Stalin. He
is dyed in the wool.
It would be pretty to think otherwise, but most liberals never
awaken from their slumber. Virtually all of my colleages,
coworkers, peers and erstwhile friends are liberals, and each and
every day, as each new "Obamanation" is foisted upon us, and with
neck veins a-throbbing, I shout, "NOW do you get why liberalism
is tyranny? Now do you understand that it undermines the very
people it pretends to help? Now do you see that the party of Big
Business, Wall Street, High-Tech Elites and the Status Quo
trampling the little guy is the Democrat party, not the
Republican party? Now do you understand the mendacity is the
currency of liberalism? Now do you see that bureaucracy is
inherently corrupt and inefficient? Now do you understand why
trusting the government and villifying the private sector are the
OPPOSITE of freedom?"
Alas, I am met with blank stares at best - particularly from the
intelligent ones, for intellecutalism - the raw material out of
which liberalism is hewn - is inherently walled off from the real
world.
They never, ever get the consequences of their foolishness. It is
very rare indeed that a liberal breaks the suction and enters the
causal world.
