When celebs speak out about politics, it is fine by me. We all have that right and you do not give it up once you become famous. But be realistic about your comprehension of the subject matter.

People need to take what celebs say with a grain of salt. Let's be honest by acknowledging that a lot of these people are famous because they have nice tits or look good in a pair or shorts. They are not asked to be geo-political stratageists. Let's get another fact out there as well: The fact that these people are surrounded in a shield of infallibility. If they say something, it should be taken as the gold standard. At least in their world, that is how it works.

I take guys like Ted Nugent or R Lee Emery a hell of a lot more seriously than I do someone like Tim Robbins. Reason being is not because they agree with what I say, it’s because that they have shown and proven they know something about how the world works. Same way with musicians. I don't care of a musician disagrees or agrees with me. He is going through the ringer when he spouts off about something serious. Nugent did, and I found out and saw he wasn't full of shit.

Celebs need to realize that just because you can say something, it doesnt mean you should take the chance. Especially if you don't really have the full grasp of the situation and what is going on.
