A Hollywood Heavyweight Who Moved From Left To Right

The link below is most insightful!  It is a speech delivered on 25 January 2013 by Roger Simon describing his awakening to the hypocrisy of the phoney life of  Hollywood, the mainstream media and political elites and his long and difficult transformation from a hard core leftist into a conservative, even libertarian.  It is a story well worth reading.  He offers his insights into human nature and his belief that many on the left are not the leftist they portray themselves to be but are afraid of the consequences if they were to "come out" and reveal their true feelings.  Being a conservative in Hollywood, for instance, is a career ender.  Even though he is founder and CEO of PJ Media he will be devoting much more of his time to creating movies and writing books.  He believes that, "Rather than boycott Hollywood, take it over – at least part of it. But do it well and professionally."  That, he believes, is how he can best contribute to repairing a nation infected with a corrosive and morally bankrupt leftist PC culture with corrupt elites in high places.  He intends to help rebuild the country so that it is a far more wholesome place whichrecognizes that "...all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
