Former Child Stars Who Are Now Conservatives

Shirley Temple

Why are so many former child starts raging conservatives? It's got to be that either they came from that sort of background--people who want to deprive certain segments of rights are often the kind of folk who push their kids into show biz.

Read Michael Musto's column on child star conservatives.

Ginster25 is just as bad. Judgmental as can be. Lump all conservatives Into a group and judge them all by the acts of a few. Sure some have been bad and unethical, as you have pointed out, however you can find plenty of examples of "liberals" doing the same thing. Get a pair, and take some personal responsibility for making something better of the world around you instead of blaming conservatives. I am guessing that more than a few of the people that gave their lives to secure our freedom where conservative even though the liberal wants to take all the credit . 'There are plenty of consevatives that believe in equal rights, equal pay, etc. You show your ignorance and bigotry in every sentence. Happy Memorial Day!

Effin whiner!!

Seriously? The "Liberals"making their points here seem oddly intolerant. You are tolerant as long as one believes the same as you and you accuse conservatives of being narrow minded? Why do you assume these people have somehow been abused because they believe differently than you do? Grow up. There are plenty of "Liberal" people that have pushed their children into acting and if you were to take a count my guess is that the Libs out number the Cons by a significant margin. Just look at the number of liberal stars. Does that make them abused by your definition? You, (srjmsbnd), talk about the "functionally illiterate" and I would subscribe that you are one of them. Do you know what a "run on" sentence is? You wrote approximately 140 words and only had 1 period

With all the speculation most of these people look like they in some way or another were abused as in pushed by stage moms, screwed around and ripped off and basically learned in very hard manners as Americans generally ae on drugs alcohol, prescribed disproportionate amounts of psych meds by health professions who do a very bad job of doing their jobs for a people who has been made functionally illiterate, doesn't read real books beyond the commercial trash that is mass produced trash in a corrupt society where the corporate bastards buy and sell politicians so that they can extract super profits by inventing causes of war and then milking the American taxpayer for every dime while not paying much in taxes themselves, in a system which offers no choice as the Democrats and Republicans are the same criminals.

Many people vote conservative because they know that Republicans look out for the rich, and they imagine that they might be rich some day. That's What's the Matter with Kansas. Making big money when you are a kid would definitely push you in that direction.

The other factor would be missing out on a good education by trading school for work when they were young. Why do conservatives cry about the "liberal media"? Because most journalists have a four-year degree in Journalism. The most famous quote by English political philosopher John Stuart Mill: "I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it."

now THERE's a biased approach (re Michael Musto's inflammatory lead-in) to people with common sense who choose to be Conservative - is Liberal the only way to go? more porn? less ethics? morals? more abortion rights? euthanasia? more graphic sex and violence in a seamless voice shouting from the big screen, little screen, books etc?  Thank you, but I prefer the conservative approach

@Angelique Now THERE'S a biased approached to people with common sense who choose to be liberal.  Feeding starving people, avoiding needless wars, treating all people with respect, giving equal pay for equal work (there's a concept), not blaming others for your lot in life, no discrimination, the right to vote for ALL Americans, safe working conditions, no back alley abortions, not telling people how to run their lives and therefore treating people as being able to make their own decisions (see Declaration of Independence),  child labor laws,  not imposing your rigid beliefs on others and not the holier-than-though conservatives who claim to have morals, family values, less premarital sex (there's a laugh) and high ethical standards while having three/four wives, cheating openly on their spouses, not providing child support for their children, dodging the draft while promoting the war in Vietnam, having to have both the president and vice president resign from office in the same year for different crimes, etc., etc.  No thanks, but I prefer the liberal approach.

Oh, Angelique, where would u cons be without us libs?  No USA at all to fight good ole king George, women kept barefoot and pregnant, abused by their partners as property, not being entitled to property due to their gender, pink ghettos due to their gender, low pay due to their gender -- it wasn't the conservatives who prohibited husbands and fathers from taking away women's freedoms.  god u cons r stupid.

@Angelique Constitutional rights (eg, free speech to advertise) falsely claimed by big business and the free wheeling capitalist market (falsely equated with democracy) give rise to porn, shoddy goods, screen sex and violence which in turn affect morals of a very gullible American public. We need a constitutional amendment stating that corporations should be stripped of rights intended for the people. If corporations have access to the Constitution how then can the government or Constitution protect we the people.
