Hollywood never fails to shine a bright light on the worst of what our culture is. Unfortunately, in this Alice in Wonderland, upside down world we are living in the light that should be shown to expose what wrong, is now illuminating bad, as what is good.
Take the new Rock the Vote video now oozing its way through the Internet, infecting our national psyche like a virus.
You gotta watch this!
In it we see such brilliant political scientists as rapper Lil Jon, Lena Dunham, Whoopi Goldberg, Natasha Lyonne, Fred Armisen, E.J. Johnson, Darren Criss, Sophia Bush, Ireland Baldwin, Devendra Banhart, Ioanna Gika and Gabriel Valenciano.
The video starts with the breaking of a few voting laws such as, the poll worker recognizing the star of the video and illegally encouraging him to “Rock The Vote, dude.”
Then outspoken leftist actress Lena Dunham, in the polling booth with a celebrity fitness trainer … “This is how we do it in Hollywood, we vote with our trainers.” Is she saying we should be trained how to vote?
“Turn Out For What!”
The beautiful song that melodically is drummed into your head, with deep and meaningful lyrics, crooned by the legendary vocalist Lil Jon. (Feel my sarcasm? You know it’s good when the drum doesn’t just carry the beat, it’s the melody as well.)
Nowhere in this video does it encourage the use of thought. It’s all about feelings and being a part of the Kool Kids Klub, but that’s not what voting is about.
Voting is a serious responsibility and it’s being made out to be a social event with a party atmosphere. Voting is not America’s next top model.
Rock the Vote and its lemming celebrities are capitalizing on Obama voters who have no idea why to vote in the midterms or what they should be voting for. These are the same celebrities who campaigned hard for Barack Obama and now have to distance themselves because he has done little but pay lip service to the things they felt he would magically do for them.
What do they want? It’s a long discombobulated liberal list of utopian dreams and fantasies important to those who have a deep narcissistic views of the world.
Education … OK, every Democrat uses that one in every speech, every time.
Marriage equality. Reproductive rights. Human rights. Prison reform. Student loans. Gun control. Health care. Women’s rights. Deforestation.
Lil Jon is turning out for (big shock!) legalization of marijuana. After watching this video, that’s the last thing this guy needs more of - legal weed.
Global warming awareness. Racial equality. Student loans. Student loan debt. Workers rights. Climate change. Animal cruelty. Health care reform. No police brutality. Immigration. Veteran rights. And on and on and on.
This is nothing but a long list of failed promises by the Democrat Party.
Whatever these “voters” want, no matter how childish, damaging or expensive, some Democrat will promise it to them, as long as they vote the Democrat Party line.
What does booty shaking have to do with voting?
What does messing with a ladder have to do with voting?
What does breakdancing have to do with voting?
Ever thought of reading a book not written by someone marching in lock step with the leftist world view? What happened to questioning authority and using your head? Now those heads are being washed away in a haze of smoke and drugs as epitomized by the great role model Lil Jon smoking a joint the size of an elephant.
This isn’t “Voters Gone Wild” or “Spring Break With America’s Dummies.”
Then again, unfortunately, maybe it is.
In this YouTube culture we are celebrating stupidity like it’s a virtue - the dumber you act, the more people are encouraged to follow.
Fred Armisen, formerly with “Saturday Night Live,” closes out the insanity with a moment of clarity.
“I’m Fred and I’m turning out because I want to impress my friends. That’s the only reason to do anything.”
Well, Fred, you’re trying to be funny but that’s the most honest moment in the entire video. How dare you tell the truth to the masses.
