Ben Stein: Hollywood Republican

Posted by Bill

As a professional moonbatologist, I concur with his analysis of far leftists:

A significant cause of people being anti-American, in Hollywood and in universities, is that they have an infantile personality disorder. They are fixated, and in denial, on entitlement, dissatisfaction, weakness, fear, and envy. And their weakness, fear, and envy compels them to be extremely uncomfortable with people who actually go out in the world and succeed. And also compels them to be extremely fearful -- because fear is part of [being] infantile -- of what I would call mainstream America. They're terrified of America between Beverly Hills and West End Avenue. They think out there are a bunch of racists and Klansmen that are going to kill them.

For illustrative examples, read through Atrios's comment sections and the Democratic Underground message boards. When I attend ANSWER protest rallies, for example, they may say "HallibechtelBushNaziShrubChimperorOILOILOIL!!!!!" but all I ever hear is "Daddy, please love me! Please?"

I disagree with Stein on a few major social issues (he would call me a "RINO," "Republican In Name Only"), but he is a very interesting and laudable character, specifically with regard to his economic punditry.

Are RINOs the guys who get surgery so they can look like David Hasselhoff?

The drugs and pain point to child abuse more than anything else.

If we want fewer socialists we might want to address core problems not surface manifestations.

There is a big difference between William Calley and John Kerry. William Calley is a proven war criminal. For John Kerry we only have his word as an officer and a gentleman.

I've always liked Ben Stein. On his short lived talk show, he let his dog (named "Puppy Wuppy") run around on the set. Dr. Kate and I also have a theory that he was "Celia Brady" who wrote the brilliant "The Industry" column in the old Spy Magazine.
