I'm tired of people criticizing celebrities for vocalizing their politics. Particularly as it almost always breaks down to the critique of those celebrities who vocalize political viewpoints which differ from those making the critique.

I don't find Reagan to have been anything close a good President - but I don't begrudge him his roots which enabled him to achieve the presidency.

I don't see anyone asking for censorship and I myself am tired of this charge.

You are entitled to you opinion and I am entitled to mine, and mine happens to be that this is a publicity stunt.

And what Reagan has to do with this post is beyond me.
