Waging political war against entertainers.

Have you noticed that people who seem so upset with "liberals" only seem to be able to point the finger at Musicians and Actors for the woes of America.

• I guess it isn't the politicians that make the laws that are to blame.
• It isn't the President's responsibility.

Grow up and take some responsibility for yourself.
