Generally true.......but the analogy falls on its face specifically with Damon. Matt Damon is the co-writer with Ben Affleck of "Good Will Hunting" (1997) and "Gerry" (2002), and with John Krasinski he cowrote the screenplay for "Promised Land (2012). The first of those three titles was a HUGE hit. I agree that what you said is generally true about a lot of the noisy anti-gun pie-holes in Hollwood, but don't make the mistake of failing to respect the intelligence of every one of your enemy's. Yes, a lot of them are dolts, but not all of them are. Some are very smart.......but very wrong. I don't think Obama is a stupid person. I think he is "gifted" with a malevolent intelligence. The problem is that his intelligence is unbridled by a moral center. With Matt Damon, he's actually a pretty smart guy. He just lacks an appreciation of individual liberty. He lacks that appreciation because he has been a pretty rich guy for a long time now, and his wealth has insulated him from the consequences of liberty's loss, so he is not upset by the idea of squashing it for others. Whenever he feels he needs protection, he does like any good liberal, and he just hires someone to get their hands dirty for him.
