Nope, I know they have every right to speak their mind. I am a VERY big proponent of free speech. In fact, I stayed out of the flag debate for fear that I might piss off a lot of people with my opinions on the subject. The situations aren't all that different, IMO. You want to burn a flag? Fine. That's your right. If I'm around you , however, you'll pay for it.
I just am voicing my opinion that I think that they shouldn't use their position of "power" to preach their views to a large audience. If they want to, that is their right. I just don't like it. Too many people in this country listen to celebrities as their chief source of information on political issues. Larry C.
