So Much Ignorance on Display


Are you as tired as I about hearing various celebrities talking about things they know so little about? Take for instance those who lectured Vice President elect, Pence during the musical play “Hamilton.” These clowns in ‘Hamilton’ are playing a role. They have their lines. They sing their lines in songs, and that’s it. And they think they are experts. Here's an eye opener cast: In reality, Alexander Hamilton was very much like President-elect Donald Trump.
You know what the show’s about? I mean, it’s Hamilton. It’s about a vice president who shoots a political rival and gets away with it, Burr, in a duel. Do you know that Alexander Hamilton was an immigration hawk? I wonder if the people in this cast have any idea who they are feting and praising. For that matter the same could be asked of most liberal ideologues. Alexander Hamilton was a nationalist. Alexander Hamilton, he didn’t want anybody getting in the country he didn’t personally approve of.
Alexander Hamilton was a profoundly unique individual, and I don’t think he is at all the kind of guy the people in this cast would celebrate if they literally knew who he was. I think they know their lines and that’s it. They’re dangerous this way. Leftists are dangerous. They’re actors and they portray roles and they learn lines, and they think they are then experts.
Everything these people on stage profess to hate right now, he was there either creating, inventing, or founding. That’s why I say, ‘I don’t think they have the slightest idea who the guy really was,’ and here they are highly acclaimed.
The lecture given to Pence by the Hamilton cast, reference diversity is most amusing, even comical since the presentation has specifically sought “nonwhite” performers for its show. One of the especially hilarious parts of the cast of “Hamilton” lecturing Mike Pence was all their talk of diversity and how scared they are because, you know, they’re all gay or they’re all transgender or they’re all lesbian and Mike Pence and Trump are coming for them and we don’t want to be put in the camps, please don’t put us in the camps! They literally think this because this is how they have been educated, it’s how they’ve been taught. … But not only do they believe it, they think they’re the only ones who know it and that makes them an authority in American history (revised as it is).
Now, their talk of diversity, I don’t know if you’ve heard this about “Hamilton.” Prior to research, this writer had not. The producers of “Hamilton” got into trouble in March because their casting call for an upcoming touring company specifically stated that they were seeking nonwhite performers. They did not want anybody but people of color in the cast in one of the touring companies of this production. What happened to the rules of Actors Equity? What about state and federal law? Has everyone forgotten about that?  Somehow it was never investigated by the Department of Justice, Obama, or anybody else. So much for diversity! So much for equality! So much for manners! And oh, so much ignorance on display.
