They are acting and drinking the leftist elitist kool-aid. Shallow celebrities get far to much credit for being conscious. Most prefer to engage in activities that make them unconscious.

Hillary Clinton supposedly read "Atlas Shrugged"...i have talked to various other individuals thru the years who also read "Atlas" and came away with bizarre understanding...such as, Rand believed in free sex...etc....

It's one thing to read something, but another thing to understand it.

Where is the passion? They are just reading it without really reading The Declaration of Independence. Maybe, someone should remind them, Liberals/Democrats that they created the Klu Klux Klan. Which put them in the same league as the founders of ISIS. Why don't a truly objective media stick that part of history in their faces.

They cannot be looking around for critical commentary.

They read the Deceleration as part of the attack upon George Bush by the Democrat party over Iraq, etc. It had nothing to do with any effort to understand the founding.

I watched the video (well, some it), it put me in tears, listening to them read it and then not even being able to comprehend one word of what was coming out of their own mouths. I guess that's what makes them good actors, having no understanding of what they say or do. Even more depressing is that liberals that see this will only be strengthened in their liberalism, also not comprehending but enforcing their beliefs.

Once I reached the early part of Obama voters speaking about abolishing the bonds of an abusive government, I just had to turn that off.
Now they'll run along and vote for a socialist evil hag who wants to deny First Amendment free speech to manmade climate change deniers, to shut down the Second Amendment with appointed Supreme Court judges.
I have a stepson who is is a coal miner with three kids.
Coming here I read of a riot in Milwaukee blamed on the BLM movement Obozo and Shillary praises.
I could keep writing . . .

Freedom in America has been a scam for quite some time. These people are con artists (or are hired to perform by con artists.)

I would contend that they have, early on, been taught and have accepted that the practice of their craft is one which is more noble and "profound" than mere grubby materialism.

They then simply behave as if it is, with any concession to the other "greedy" and "selfish" pursuers of the material values of human existence, as those who lack the virtues of which they and their craft excels.
