Don't they know that communist governments stifle creativity, self-expression, etc? In a communist government the government dictates everything that you say and do. You won't find anybody from Cuba, North Korea, or China on Facebook(or the internet period). You are nothing in a communist society unless you are in government.

Why does Hollywood, artists, the press and other creative people support Obama??

Because ... they're educated, intelligent people.

Intelligent?? Supporting breakdown of our freedom and constitution is intelligent?? Supporting a government where their beloved self-expression in creativity is stifled is intelligent??

Asking a question that has an assumption built into it so that it can’t be answered without appearing guilty, is a fallacy.

Chinese people use the internet. And China isn't really communist either. Dictatorship yes, but not communist.

Oh, and Obama isn't a commie either.

Hollywood is full of educated and intelligent people? Celebrities?! I bet you're one of the people who listens and cares when Lady Gaga endorses a candidate.

Many reasons, and those same reasons can often explain why some places like CA in general does. It's becasue the alternative isn't ok. There are places, this being one of them, where the majority of people have been exposed to the world a little more, see a bigger picture, don't care who does what in the bedroom, don't care who controls their reproduction or how, we aren't looking at life as our small town, church, everyone agreeing over the weekly pot luck, or dreaming about things being "the way they were in the good old days". There is a more global POV and more forward thinking. I don't mean to insult anyone but that is the bottom line. When you know how big the world is and learn a little about it the small time issues that others cling to are not logical, don't make sense, and aren't worth fighting over. Our country has evolved at a different pace and it's causing internal problems for us. That's my opinion.

I'll ignore your false leader about Obama being a communist. I'll ask you why would artists, in general, support the GOP that kowtows to the moral majority. An organizxation that, for sure, will censor artistic work, if in any way does not agree with their version of the bible.

I will ask you the same thing. Communism censors a lot more than just dirty artwork ya know? They censor ALL artistic expression.
