Well,
once again “Hollyweird” has overstepped their little “elitist” shores. They
should have stuck with the craft that they know…acting.
When
Meryl Streep said, “That’s why our founders enshrined the press and its
freedoms in our constitution. So I only ask the famously well-heeled Hollywood
foreign press and all of us in our community to join me in supporting the
Committee to Protect Journalists, ’cause we’re going to need them going forward
and they’ll need us to safeguard the truth.”, I had to respond.
“Amendment
I Freedom of Religion, Speech, Press, Assembly, and Petition
Passed
by Congress September 25, 1789. Ratified December 15, 1791. The first 10
amendments form the Bill of Rights
Congress
shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or
of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the Government for a redress of grievances.”
This
is the First Amendment of the Constitution taken from: https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/amendments/amendment-i
Let’s
address what Meryl Streep was referring to, mainly the freedom of the press,
however, she does refer to them as the “famously well-heeled Hollywood
foreign press”. I believe that the “press” has fallen in their “responsibility”
to the public. They are not just reporting the “facts”, in looking back over
the last 30 plus years I am disheartened & sorrowful as to the extent that
the “press” has ONLY reported what “they” believe “we the people” need to know.
So much for being “responsible”.
Now on to the rest of her diatribe and I quote, “all of us
in our community to join me in supporting the Committee to Protect
Journalists”. So now the Hollywood Elites are going to “help” protect
journalists? I’m sorry, that really irritated me to the core. I don’t trust the
“mainstream media” (press) and I especially don’t trust “Elitists” to have my
or my countries best interests at heart. They care only about themselves or
their “pet” causes of the month.
Some, not all, don’t care about the millions of people who
voted for the soon to be POTUS Donald J Trump. I’m one of them and I don’t
consider myself or President Elect Trump to be “violent” or “disrespectful” of
others. I AM angry and I AM ready to have someone help me and others like
myself be heard.
I am not a politician, actor, famous or any of the other
reasons that would give me a platform that would be heard by millions around the
world. But, I am an American citizen with a background graced by a wonderful
heritage, I have read the Constitution of the United States and I have been
blessed to come from a LONG line of American soldiers from before the Civil War
(where I had family that fought on both sides, literally brother against
brother) and my husband of 25years is a combat veteran who fought in Vietnam
(he is disabled from his heroic service) and he too is from a very long line of
veterans, all the way back to the American Revolution.
So, with all that history, I believe I too have a right to
have my voice heard and the POTUS is who I look to and our other elected
officials (whether I voted for them or not), to speak on my behalf.
She has a right to speak her mind, but when she is receiving
an award that is nationally and internationally seen and she chooses to
insinuate that our POTUS does not meet her standards or those of the ELITIST’S
in Hollywood or the “famously
well-heeled Hollywood foreign press”, it makes me even angrier.
Now, I have always liked her “acting” ability, but I could
care less what her “well known” political left leaning liberal crap means to
her. It’s crap and has damaged MILLIONS of hardworking people in the US and she
along with her liberal buddies have dissed for more than 30 years!
Go back to acting. Ronald Reagan, you are NOT.
