WARNING: I'm not pulling any punches here. . . . Not that I ever did. . . . . . .
I did not originally coin the above phrase. “Shut Up And Sing” is the original title of a book written by a female Conservative Talk Show Host named Laura Ingraham. She got sick of movie, television, music, sports personalities publicly airing their stupid, and often Ultra Leftist/Radical/Communist/Marxist, political leanings in the public forum.
Ah, in case ya don't know it, that's what we have our elected officials for!

Well, I agreed with her back then when she first wrote her book, and I agree with her even more now. Why? Because a spate of Useful Idiots have come out an announced their support for the current administration and it's foibles. Let's see: Rosie O'Donald, Harry Belefonte, Conye West, Lady GaGa, Sean Penn, just to name a few.
These people often live in a fantasy world, are often out of touch with reality and believe ( in their demented minds ) that people really care they think. I for one do not, especially if you are a LibTard. Forgive me, that is short for Liberal Retard. I did warn you, I wasn't going to pull punches. . . . .
I believe if you are going to make political statements you MUST LEARN and STUDY the facts, so that you will know what you are talking about. Chanting the same catch phrase(s) over and over again is not going to cut the mustard when you are questioned by a talk show host. No matter how many softballs they pitch to you. Remember, not everyone is totally enamored with your so-called presence. Not everyone has come to bow and worship at your alter. In the political world, people come to pick your butt to pieces.
Of course, studying, reading and researching takes a lot of time ( whine, whine, whine. . . . ) but if you want a thing done right, you must take time to do it right from the start. If not, I suggest you keep your mouth shut. Why? Let me repeat: We didn't vote you into office, that's why! And if you become too vocal and get on our nerves, we can always vote with our pocketbooks and wallets!
You have a new movie coming out in the fall? Tick off the conservatives and you will have a couple of million less people going to see your movie. Coming out with a new album, but you just slammed the front running candidate for the Republican party? Guess what? Record sales will be down. . . . . .
Remember the Dixie Chicks? Google that if you don't recall what happened. . . . . .
The whole gist of Shut Up And Sing is this. If you are an actor, stick to acting. If you are a musician, stick to playing music. If you are as sports personality, stick to your sport, and so on and so on. We did not elect you to say anything, and when you do speak, you sound stupider than a box of rocks, so SHUT UP!
I'm not saying you can't have your own Loony-Tune political leanings and opinions, it's just We The People of The United States Of America don't want to hear them! Especially, if they are Communist, Marxist, Stalinist, Alinskyist, Islamist, Sharia, etc, you know what I mean. A threat to America's God Given Freedom.
Like I always say, If you don't like America, move! If you love communist dictatorships so much, move to one! Don't try to change my country into one because I'm not ( and there are millions out there who agree and will not either ) going to let you do it!
Oh, I don't like to call evil down on things but if this country does become a dictatorship, guess who they will get rid of first? That's right! All of the entertainers, because they will have no need for them unless they agree to spread propaganda. Who remembers Tokyo Rose?
