Michael Reagan Exposes the Liberal Hollywood Lies in ‘The Butler’



For those who have not been raised on another planet, it should not come as any big surprise, or even small for that matter, that the extreme left motor-mouth-mecca-moguls of Hollywood have once again maligned and manufactured a piece of trash movie about one of the greatest presidents since those from our nascent days of republic establishing while creating the United States of America.
Josh Grossberg of eonline.com published “President Reagan's Son Slams Lee Daniels' The Butler " on August 27, 2013 stating, “Supporters of Ronald Reagan aren't happy with the way Lee Daniels' The Butler portrays the 40th president, but none more so than his son, Michael Reagan. “The latter penned a scathing editorial for conservative website Newsmax titled 'The Butler from Another Planet,' in which he blasted the historical drama's suggestion that his father was racist. The Butler tells the story of Cecil Gaines, a black man who rose to become White House butler and served eight presidents, witnessing some of the most tumultuous events in 20th-century America, including the Civil Rights movement. “The film, scripted by Danny Strong (Game Change), is inspired by the life of real White House butler Eugene Allen, who worked at the White House from 1952 to 1986 and whom the younger Reagan knew. Which is why he can speak with authority on the subject.” I don't think I am on any island alone in my thinking that the Hollywood scene is totally and unashamedly anti-American and rabidly communistic with the destruction of American patriotic ideals as their ultimate goals in all they do. In addition to the anti-American theme they are now following the mandates of our Dictator in Washington who is demanding a downsizing and demonizing of all things Christian in our country.

Getting back to Grossberg’s publication, and affirming my contention that Hollywood is primarily concerned with advancing communistic lies about the conservatives who epitomize our founding fathers’ ideals and issues adherence, here is what is said about Ronald Reagan’s son: “Reagan attacked Tinseltown for making what he called a clichéd 'message movie'" particularly given the liberties director Lee Daniels and Strong took with Allen's life, such as giving Gaines a second son the real butler never had and depicting him as joining the Black Panthers. Here is Grossberg’s take on how Reagan compares the real butler to the big-screen version. "Guess which one had a happy, quiet life and was married to the same woman for 65 years? And who had one son who served honorably in Vietnam and never made a peep of protest through the pre- and post-civil rights era?" asked Reagan. "Now guess which butler grew up on a Georgia farm, watched the boss rape his mother and then, when his father protested the rape, watched the boss put a bullet through his father's head? Guess which butler feels the pain of America's racial injustices so deeply that he quits his White House job and joins his son in a protest movement? “But what particularly rankled Reagan was the movie's insinuation that his father wanted to veto sanctions on apartheid South Africa when, in actuality, he said "it had to do with the geopolitics of the Cold War." "Portraying Ronald Reagan as a racist because he was in favor of lifting economic sanctions against South Africa is simplistic and dishonest," he added. "If you knew my father, you'd know he was the last person on Earth you would call a racist." Not mentioned by Grossberg but added here are more Michael Reagan quotes, starting with his opening shot at the lying egoists who actually live as evil liberal Hollywood greed moguls: “There you go again, Hollywood. You’ve taken a great story about a real person and real events and twisted it into a bunch of lies. After comparing Hollywood’s absurd version of Eugene Allen’s life story with the truth, you wonder why the producers didn’t just call it 'The Butler from Another Planet.' “Screenwriter Danny Strong says he was trying to present a “backstage kind of view of the White House” that portrayed presidents and first ladies as they really were in everyday life. Well, I was backstage at the White House — a few hundred times. I met and knew the real butler, Mr. Allen, and I knew a little about my father.” I guess it’s perfectly legal to take a real-life story and declare a dramatically revised version of the same scenario and call it fiction; it has probably occurred hundreds of times over the years, but when altering a story about a real person who has been declared by many Americans to have been among the greatest presidents ever in our history it is pure Hollywood shabbiness and deceitful. In these days of greatly looming darkness over anything with a Hollywood produced label, it is even more shabby and the culprits should somehow be made to pay for their deceit; but don’t look for it happen as long as we have the same sort of cretins running our government. I guess we will just have to wait for civility and truth to return to Hollywood and our government.
