"Just give everybody a chance to have the life they want." Clint Eastwood

Do you believe that...well do you punk?

The Super Bowl commercial by Clint Eastwood that is causing such a stir, particularly within the ranks of the conservative right is a winner. Karl Rove who was nicknamed "turdtblossom" by his boss George W. Bush is mightily upset and disturbed because Clint's Chrysler commercial message is running counter to the Republican mantra that nothing good is happening in the country and won't start until we elect Willard as our leader.

What is so odd is that anyone who has watched any of Eastwood's last few movies could plainly see the man is no Republican in his social or moral views. His movies laid out a decidedly liberal view of things like immigration and euthanasia.

Prior to this kerfuffle about the Super Bowl ad was a dead giveaway interview that he gave in the Sept. 2011 issue of GQ magazine that said it all about his feelings on gay marriage. He and Dicaprio were talking about the movie "J Edgar" they made together,

GQ: Yeah, but maybe between the movies you have some political feelings. [to Eastwood] You've described yourself as a social libertarian. What does that mean to you?

Clint Eastwood: I was an Eisenhower Republican when I started out at 21, because he promised to get us out of the Korean War. And over the years, I realized there was a Republican philosophy that I liked. And then they lost it. And libertarians had more of it. Because what I really believe is, Let's spend a little more time leaving everybody alone. These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage? I don't give a fuck about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We're making a big deal out of things we shouldn't be making a deal out of.

Leonardo Dicaprio: That's the most infuriating thing-watching people focus on these things. Meanwhile, there's the onset of global warming and-

Clint Eastwood: Exactly!

Leonardo Dicaprio: -and these incredibly scary and menacing things with the future of our economy. Our relationship to the rest of the world. And here we are focusing on this?

Clint Eastwood: They go on and on with all this bullshit about "sanctity"-don't give me that sanctity crap! Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want.

Take that Newt, Willard, Rick and Ron!
