   LINDA RONSTADT SELF DESTRUCTS.   
      
   What is it with Hollyweirdos? Are those people deliberately trying to   
   destroy their careers? It appears many of them actually believe they can say   
   and do anything they like and that we, the public, must accept their   
   disrespectful rants without question. Of course they also expect us to pay   
   for the privilege. And that is where the rubber hits the road.   
      
   Last week singer Linda Ronstadt decided her freedom of speech included   
   anything she wanted to say and anyone to whom she wanted to say it. The   
   world doesn't operate that way. Freedom of speech is not a one way street.   
   Those of us who are doing the listening also have the right not to listen.   
   And if we are paying the bill we certainly have the right to decline.   
      
   Ronstadt had been hired by the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas to entertain their   
   clientele. Give the devil his due, the woman can sing . so can Hollywood   
   Head Weirdo Barbra Streisand.   
      
   Well, it seems Ronstadt decided to spice up her show before about 5,000   
   people with running praise of America-hating Michael Moore, the ugly slob   
   who produces bits of lies which he strings together and calls (with tongue   
   in cheek) "documentaries." She praised Moore as a bastion of truth, as a   
   great American and as a genius of sorts. Well, about that time, as we   
   sometimes say in South Georgia, all hell broke loose.   
      
   It is reliably reported that about half the crowd began booing her   
   vigorously while the other half cheered. The first half proceeded to get   
   angrier and the next thing you know, cocktail glasses were flying through   
   the air as they began stomping out of the theatre in droves. As they roared   
   into the lobby they proceeded to destroy her posters and anything else they   
   could find relating to her and her show.   
      
   As luck would have it the president of the Aladdin Company (Bill Timmins)   
   had decided to attend her show and he was stunned at what he was witnessing.   
   He promptly had the "lady" escorted from his hotel and taken to her touring   
   bus outside. She was not to re-enter the hotel. He then had her things   
   packed and delivered to her bus. And he told her she was not welcome back to   
   perform in his hotel at anytime in the future.   
      
   The verbal pot had only begun to bubble and by the next day the lid was   
   ready to blow. The left wing supporters of Ms. Ronstadt launched a tirade of   
   criticism of Mr. Timmins. They claimed Ronstadt had a perfect right to   
   express her views any time and anywhere she liked. After all there was that   
   handy first amendment to which they always refer whenever they are called to   
   task. Timmins is reported to have replied that she certainly did have those   
   rights but not in his hotel and certainly not while she was on his payroll.   
   He further expressed his opinion that he also might have some rights, the   
   right to hire and fire anyone he wanted, being among them.   
      
   The Socialist/Democrats are still trying to make something out of a losing   
   situation. Their latest claim is that it wasn't half the audience who left   
   but only about a third. I suppose that makes a difference.   
      
   Ronstadt consequently made this statement to the media: "It's a real   
   conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience   
   is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd   
   rather not know."  Of course she gets a complete pass from the leftist   
   media, who never take their kind to task for Christian-bashing.   
      
   Imagine if she had said Muslim instead of Christian, or Democrat instead of   
   Republican.  All hell would have broken loose in the leftist world.   
      
   I find it rather interesting that the far left, socialist/communist   
   entertainers simply can't get it through their heads that it is not   
   Republicans or Christians who are flying planes into tall buildings or   
   beheading those who disagree with their beliefs.   
      
   Is America in danger? I leave the answer to you.
