Hit the switch and a bright overhead light would send cockroaches scurrying all over the floor, looking for a place to hide.  With a radical marxist in the White House, each new election in every state will force a light on the Democratic party -- forcing their politicians to speak in the light, and as much as they'd like to scurry for a place to hide, they won't be able to get away.  Just ask Martha Coakley.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Standing behind a leftist movement and a radical president that has seized power from the private sector, stolen money from the citizens in the form of increased taxes, and has shown a blatant disregard for the U.S. constitution, Martha Coakley has had to stand up in the open and speak in front of her state with the light shining brightly upon her.  And wow, did she deliver exactly what conservatives are expecting from every senate and congressional race throughout the country in 2010 -- an unmitigated disaster based solely on the premise that the radical Democratic Party of the United States despises private enterprise, loathes capitalism, and flat-out disrespects the values and core beliefs of the citizens of our great country (yes, that includes the people of Massachusetts).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Coakley has demonstrated a record that is in lock-step with the Dems -- a blatant disregard for the laws of the land, an allegiance with felons (most favorably rapists who hurt children) and an exhibition of her lack of belief in morality.  And with the light shining on her, she showed her entitled attitude for a seat that "belongs to Ted Kennedy" is the equal of her disdain for the voices of the Massachusetts voter.  Don't believe us?  Then explain how she can call a Red Sox legend a Yankees fan.  You can't.  Or, explain how she can watch a criminal assault take place only five feet from her, yet she "didn't see anything".  Her behavior is unconscionable.  And the beautiful thing about this election today, is that Scott Brown is her exact opposite -- and he's got Curt Schilling on his side.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Martha Coakley is the Democratic Party.  And the light is shining on her and she's scurrying for a place to hide.  Meanwhile, the marxist revolutionary movement called the "Democratic Party" is plotting their unconstitutional assault on the system in order to achieve their agenda by any means necessary.  Yes, the light is on them and they will be running.  And make no mistake about it, the light is the bright light of conservatism.  And the cockroaches are -- well, we all know who they are.

if he was a socialist, based on accusations made against him because of his radical leftist policies.  Typical for a person without integrity, he couldn't commit to a clear and concise answer -- and he danced around the question.  Having time to ponder what his answer should have been, he personally called the New York Times to give the answer another try.  He danced some more by suggesting the question was such folly that he thought the Times was joking. They were not -- and neither are the millions of Americans who are losing their jobs, losing their retirement funds, college funds, and personal savings in a market set adrift while Obama pushes toward his own hidden agenda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;It's very simple.  A man with integrity would have answered a question about socialism with absolute clarity.  A man who loves the United States and its constitution would not think a question to be a joke during such dire circumstances.  A man who upholds the value, honor and integrity of the Office of the President of the United States would not need to make a return phone call to the New York Times while so many Americans are out of work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;And what's quite astonishing is Obama's audacity that goes along with his answer.  He literally continues to blame the forces that were present before his arrival to the White House.  He blames Bush.  This is many things -- but it's not leadership.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;So here are some questions we encourage the press to ask -- several questions that are really one question overall:  President Obama, can you give us a date when you will assume absolute responsibility as President of the United States?  Can you give us an exact date when you will take full accountability of all your policies?  Can you give us an exact date when you, like all real leaders with integrity do, will say the 'buck stops here'?  Can you give us the exact date when you will no longer hide behind George Bush?  Can you give us an exact date when you will become a leader with integrity and moral character?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Just let us know.  But until you give us this date, we'll just assume it's the first Tuesday in November, 2012.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31769870-7762580507919156587?l=bigamericantool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BigAmericanTool/~4/XpFhmGIrv4Q" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://bigamericantool.blogspot.com/feeds/7762580507919156587/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31769870&amp;postID=7762580507919156587&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31769870/posts/default/7762580507919156587?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31769870/posts/default/7762580507919156587?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://bigamericantool.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-devalues-office-of-president.html" title="Obama Devalues the Office of the President" /><author><name>Big American Tool</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0AEQXk9fSp7ImA9WxVVF04.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31769870.post-5924504272576638490</id><published>2009-03-09T19:38:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T21:41:40.765-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-10T21:41:40.765-04:00</app:edited><title>Jim Cramer Takes The Red Pill</title><content type="html">&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;There's a pivotal scene in the movie "The Matrix" when Neo has to make a decision to either swallow a red pill and discover he's been sleepwalking through life as nothing more than a battery that feeds energy to the machine, or take a blue pill and return to the blissful ignorance of reality.  Without hesitation, Neo takes the red pill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mainstreet.com/article/moneyinvesting/news/cramer-takes-white-house-frank-rich-and-jon-stewart"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;In his article published today&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;, Jim Cramer is discovering nobody on his "side" will answer his questions about why Barack Obama and his administration refuse to make the right choices to fix the economy.  He's realizing his questions don't matter -- in fact, they're annoying.  He recently took some sucker punches for effectively calling out Obama in public, and now he's hurt and wondering why and how he feels so isolated and attacked. And very soon, Cramer is going to realize he needs to straighten up and get back on board, or risk being targeted, attacked, disrespected and ultimately taken down.  Welcome to the politics of personal destruction, Cramer.  You've been asking too many questions and the Agent Smiths on the Left are putting you in a room and telling you your mouth will soon disappear if you do it again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Right now, Obama and his radical Leftist followers think Cramer is holding both the red pill and the blue pill.  He's at a crossroads because nothing is making sense now.  You see, Cramer is a man who's honest with himself -- completely transparent in his approach to teaching and guiding his viewers and readers who take a serious interest in their own personal wealth.  Cramer is a man of integrity.  But anyone who is honest, transparent and follows his life's path with instinctual integrity will soon awaken to the reality that the Obama administration doesn't function in a world where these rules are standard. These virtues are absent from Obama's way of life -- a man who would sell his own mother, or aunt or brother for that matter, to get what he wants.  He's a Marxist and he's following the playbook, which is why nothing makes sense to Jim Cramer. And now that Obama is in the White House, you either go along with his plan, or you will be punished.  Right now, Cramer is being punished.  He's been sent a message and this message is beginning to piss him off.  He's not saying it whole-heartedly, but he's beginning to realize a sea change in his existence is about to take place.  Obama and the Left are telling him to take the blue pill and come on back to their side -- a side that knows the only way for Americans to live their lives is under the thumb of a nationalist government.  Just take the blue pill and become an important battery that feeds energy to the Leftist machine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;But Cramer has seen too much already.  He's been visited by those who have seen the white rabbit and are leading him to an awakened state -- an awareness telling him there exists underneath the surface, a man ruled by the marxist machine that seeks total destruction of personal wealth, the destruction of the economic structure of this country, and ultimately seeks the destruction of the United States as we know it.  It's the images of this radicalism that has Cramer unable to sleep at night, that has him asking the wrong questions, and has led him to put the red pill in his mouth and swallow it whole.  He's becoming detatched and fully self-aware, and soon he'll be on his knees vomiting out the lies he's been fed for so many years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Don't be scared, Jim.  You're becoming free of the radical Liberal Matrix.  But remember, we can only show you the door -- you have to walk through it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31769870-5924504272576638490?l=bigamericantool.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BigAmericanTool/~4/-Iem_tXoOhs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://bigamericantool.blogspot.com/feeds/5924504272576638490/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31769870&amp;postID=5924504272576638490&amp;isPopup=true" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31769870/posts/default/5924504272576638490?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31769870/posts/default/5924504272576638490?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://bigamericantool.blogspot.com/2009/03/jim-cramer-takes-red-pill.html" title="Jim Cramer Takes The Red Pill" /><author><name>Big American Tool</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;A0EGQn8yfSp7ImA9WxVVE0s.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31769870.post-4405870126229579107</id><published>2009-03-06T14:57:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-06T15:00:23.195-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-06T15:00:23.195-05:00</app:edited><title>Revealed: Barack Obama's Game Plan</title><content type="html">&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; "&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.6em; "&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;In a Patrick Buchanan article published this week, he declares the arrival of socialism in the United States thanks to Barack Obama's radical policies.  But what's really scary is that Buchanan is only partially right. Pat, we might have arrived at socialism, but we're not stopping here.  We're on our way to an Obama totalitarianist rule of a nationalist government.  These are the radical goals of the Leftist movement in this country, and our favorite marxist -- Barack Obama.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;Yes, we know this still sounds far-fetched to most of the conservatives in this country.  Right now, most of you, like Sean Hannity, think Obama is a misguided idealist who doesn't know what he's doing -- and he's being led down the wrong road by those who want to be more like a European society.  And you think his stimulus package is also just a bad attempt of doing things the "Democratic Party" way and it's going to lead us deeper into a recession and then into a period of tremendous inflation.  But just stop for a second and ask yourselves, "what if Obama's goals were to decimate the U.S. economy and create fear, panic and disaster in our states, cities, communities and societies?  What if he really is trying to become a totalitarianist leader of a nationalist government?"  Then ask yourself what you think his plan of action would be to make all of this happen. If you ask yourselves these questions, then suddenly things will look like Obama knows exactly what he's doing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;One only need to listen to the preachings of the Black Liberation Theology to know where Obama wants to take this country.  There's a reason why information about Obama's time at Occidental College has been hidden from the public.  This is where he raised his ugly marxist head and was discovered by the radical leftist community that populates our college campuses.  There is a reason why his work at Columbia and Harvard have been hidden.  There's a reason why he celebrated his entry into the political arena at a terrorist's home.  This guy stinks of marxism now, just as he did throughout his entire life.  But it's the BLT that makes Obama's intentions less than a secret.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;The BLT has never wanted the "playing field" level.  They want the playing field destroyed. They want it wiped out and re-built with black power, through a black totalitarianist leader who will guide this country into a new Leftist black existence. Obama sat in the presence of these teachings for over 20 years.  And yes, you can guess it's the underlying fabric and motivation for his audacity.  Obama doesn't care about a bunch of white elitists suffering over a decimated stock market.  He doesn't give a damn about a bunch of Jewish bankers who are beholden to the government hand-outs.  To put simply, this man doesn't care about the economy in the least.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;In fact, we'll argue Obama wants the worst to happen.  We believe it's his goal to wipe out the entire economic structure of this country.  After all, you can't have a totalitarianist leader rise up and assume absolute leadership without bread lines, racial warfare, fighting in the streets, global warming, and an atmospheric rise in crime.  There's only one way to achieve black power and that's through white suffering. This is Marxism 101 -- and Obama knows this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;

"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; "&gt;Still not convinced?  Look at the deception already unfolding: no hope, no change, no ethics standards for cabinet members, attacking "enemies" and critics of the Obama administration, a concerted effort to drive the stock market down (notice how it goes down every time Obama speaks publicly?  Yes, that's by design), an astonishing growth in the government, an overt disrespect for foreign leaders (look at the embarrassing way Obama and his wife handled PM Gordon Brown), threats to silence "right wing" airwaves, the lies about his taxation plan, and his vitriol towards capitalism.  And now, he has his press secretary Robert Gibbs lying to the American people on a regular business while trying to avert attention away from the way Obama's government is going to steal all the wealth in this country from the evil, greedy corporate pigs and capitalists. By the way, has anyone else noticed how Gibbs is beginning to sound like Saddam Hussein's spokesman, Mohammad Saeed al-Sahhaf?  "There are no American troops in Baghdad".  "The stimulus package will create jobs and fix the American economy". Just remember, Gibbs knows where Rick Santelli lives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';

class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;I’ve always judged the caliber of an actor’s performance by posing one question: “if we replaced the actor with another, would the movie suffer for it?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Cleary, there are many accomplished actors who can indicate “gay” and have pulled it off as good as Sean Penn without taking anything away from the film.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:

yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;You can’t.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Johnny Depp is an actor who consumes a character making his work completely irreplaceable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Johnny Depp is that good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;By contrast, Sean Penn is not. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;So let’s breakdown Sean Penn’s method of acting – since it seems to be paying off for him in spades.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;When I was studying acting in New York, we had to do an exercise whereby we had to shift our countenance and posture to assume and consume whatever expression the teacher shouted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;If he said “Angry!” -- then we all had to become angry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;“Drunk!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;We were drunk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;“Sad!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Yep, we were sad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;But the best part of the exercise came at the end when the teacher shouted “You’re gay!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;In a flash, the twelve master class students suddenly became a dozen Harvey Milks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Or more accurately, we became a dozen Sean Penns pretending to be Harvey Milk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Yes, we were that good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;I believe this exercise is Penn’s first step to “creating” his characters – and his first hurdle is making the choice of which command to yell at himself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;But there’s more to his method than making this very first choice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;What else is Sean Penn doing that has many in Hollywood putting our arguably greatest over-actor in the “great actor” category?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;What other choices does this actor make to give us all of these unmistakable Sean Penn performances?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;I’ve been perplexed by these questions for quite some time, so I set out to study every one of his performances and I believe I have discovered the formula for the Sean Penn method of acting:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Step one:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Try really hard to consume the roll, just like Johnny Depp does.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Repeat to yourself “be like Johnny Depp” over and over again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Step two:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Throw as much energy as humanly possible into the performance through acting loudly, pounding your fist, and even crying when the scene doesn’t call for crying.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Step three:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Recognize within yourself, without vocalizing, that you’re over-acting – and there’s no way in hell you’ll ever “be like Johnny Depp”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Step four:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Commit to over-acting with everything you’ve got – and when all else fails, channel your inner-Sally Field.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:

style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;There are two types of revolution and only two types -- one is for freedom, and the other is for theft.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;In the early stages of the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro was nestled in the hills of Western Cuba, trying to build his army and his support.  He was trying to get a message to the people of Havana, letting them know he was going to bring them hope. Yes, hope.  Sound familiar? The Cubans heard the message of hope and believed in it -- and the ground swell became so big and intoxicating that Fulgencio Batista laid down arms and succumbed to the coup.  The Cuban people were indeed filled with hope -- thinking freedom had finally arrived in Fidel Castro. What happened next was murder and theft -- and every citizen of Cuba lost all of his money and land.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;In 2008, Barack Obama ran a campaign with one central theme.  That's right...hope.  And just like with Castro, the ground swell became huge and intoxicating for the American people, and a completely inexperienced politician with ties to marxists and terrorists was elected President of the United States.  In the two weeks since his inauguration, Obama has submitted a stimulus package that is nothing more than theft of the American people's money.  And the message of hope has turned into a message of fear.  The message of fear says that if the American people do not pass his socialistic stimulus package, our country will fall into a massive depression and every  citizen will lose everything for which they've worked.  Fear.  Not hope.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;This fear tactic is nothing more than propaganda.  And that, my friends, is Marxism 101.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div
