Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troups at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio,Texas (BAMC) the other day. This is where soldiers that have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the States, especially burn victims. They have buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher House is a hotel where soldiers' families can stay, for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying in the hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses on base but as you can imagine, they are almost completely filled most of the time.

While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build. He took his check book out and wrote a check for the full amount right there on the spot. The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear this story and want to get the word out to the American public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.

The question I have is why does Alec Baldwin, Modonna, Sean Penn and other Hollywood types make front page news with their anti-everything Americ an and this doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper

except the base newspaper in San Antonio

Well he is a nice man, and to answer your question. It's because this happened about 2 or 3 months ago.

If you'd think about it more than a minute, you'd understand that making others aware of things you think the government is doing wrong is Pro-American.
Anti-American would be parroting the entertainment media(hannity, o'riely ect). Stop watching TV and read something. Being stupid is Anti-American.

I agree that parroting the media is indeed Anti-American (and stupid). Although, if anyone thinks that Sean Penn and most other Hollywood types aren't parroting their own media sources, I'd call them delusional.

It was nice of him to come and visit the people at BAMC. I know a bunch of soldiers that work there and they are a dedicated bunch. I've had friends and family treated there.

"if anyone thinks that Sean Penn and most other Hollywood types aren't parroting their own media sources, I'd call them delusional."
You can't see a differance between Hanity, O'Riely and Rush who complain about things liberals say and the liberals who complain about the things the government do?

Government does something
Someone complains about it
Someone else complains about them complaining.

If it were just that simple there would be no problem. Just a few people on TV complaining. But when someone like O'Rielly says someone is guilty of treason or when Rush says on nationaly TV that a 14 year old girl is as ugly as a dog, that's evil.

Oh I forgot, The liberial media is "embolding" the terrorists.

I for one will now make sure and support the movies he stars in.

By the way, if Hannity, O'Reily, and Rush are so bad, why do they have the #1 and 2 radio shows in the country, and the #1 cable news show? In fact why does Fox News Channel constantly have the top 4 cable news shows EVERY night. Even the O'Reily re-runs smoke suspender boy over on CNN.

My liberal friend, face it, America is more conservative than ever.

“I think that people like the Howard Sterns, the Bill O'Reillys and to a lesser degree the bin Ladens of the world are making a horrible contribution [to society]. I'd like to trade O'Reilly for bin Laden. [O'Reilly] is a grumpy, self-loathing joke," -Sean Penn

Don't even get me started on some of the others (Baldwin, Streisand, Fonda, etc...).
