A commentary on the sad state of current affairs.....

I like actress Jennifer Lawrence enjoy most of her movies,but when I read the interview with her in the current issue of Vogue magazine,I just rolled my eyes.The actress grew up in Kentucky and was rasied as a conservative by her parents.In her teenage years,when she started finding major success as an actress,she shifted her political viewpoint to an ultra-progressive stance.Now,according to the interview,she has purposely shut her parents out of her life due to their conservative politics;and she insists that famous pepole should essentially be REQIURED to make their political beliefs public knowledge.This is sad.Its not surprising that shed adopt progressive politics;everyone in Hollywood has to just to survive.But to reject and ostracize your parents due to their political views speaks to an intolerance that is as disturbing as it is unfair.And her idea that famous people have some sort of obligation to talk about politics is contrary to the idea of a free country.(Along with the 1st Amendment right to express your opinion is the right NOT to!)And I think that most pepole would find in more appealing for a famous person to shut up about such things these days!The whole thing is a sad commentary on the state of current affairs.

Just another Hollywood weirdo. Shallow, self absorbed, pathetic.

@carpediem True.But my guess is she didn't start out that way.And she is a talented actress.Its a shame;not so much that she holds her beliefs-lets face it,thats to be expected-but that shes willing to ostracize her parents for not sharing them.Youll note that such intolerance seems to be the exclusive domain of the far-left.

@DavidT8899 She’s still a nutcase. I try to avoid those people.
