these people do not represent the values of america, getting married and divorced like a revolving door, rejecting conservate, religious views etc. Polls show that 80% of Americans believe in God. Actors are usually godless, vulgar, obscene atheists.

As for corporate greed, America is great because of corporate greed. Quit hopping on the pop liberal political bandwagon and take a whiff of what is really going on in the real world, outside of your shallow drive-by media microcosm
