I was curious about Hollywood conservatives. Here's a list and a comment by yours truly on the presence of those that surprise me. I'd guess that most are actually libertarian, that is fiscally conservative, socially middle of the road to liberal.
Adam Baldwin - I wonder if he argues with Alec at holiday dinners.
Stephen Baldwin - Same as above.
Michael Caine - Seems like any political quote I ever heard from him leaned way left.
Kirk Cameron
Shannen Doherty - She's been a Republican since she was in her teens.
Robert Downey, Jr. - Given his substance abuse history, this is really surprising. I guess he's truly reformed.
Clint Eastwood
Andy Garcia
Kelsey Grammer
Charlton Heston
Victoria Jackson - SNL blonde is not as ditzy as the characters she portrayed.
James Earl Jones - So few blacks are conservative.
Christopher Lee
Susan Lucci
Craig T. Nelson
Chuck Norris
Gary Oldman - Completely contrary to the characters he played early in his career.
Ronald Reagan
Joan Rivers - Despite the tradition of Jewish liberalism, she didn't seem to suffer fools and foolishness.
Kurt Russell - Given that he has been married for decades to perpetual flower child Goldie Hawn, this is most surprising.
Gary Sinise
Adam Sandler - Jews have a tradition of liberalism.
Dwight Schultz
Arnold Schwarzenegger - His record as governor of California belies his conservative tag.
Tom Selleck
Kevin Sorbo
James Stewart
Sylvester Stallone
Vince Vaughn
Jon Voight
Jimmie Walker - See comment about James Earl Jones.
Bruce Willis
James Woods - The most outspoken of all.
A large Asia family swarmed the floating book shop as I was setting up, buying three items. Then there wasn't another sale for the next three hours, despite spring-like weather and even though I offered any of my books for two bucks to a couple of semi-regulars. It was a huge slice of humble pie.
