Former Child Stars Who Are Now Raging Conservatives

Why so many?

It's got to be that either they came from that sort of background--people who want to deprive certain segments of rights are often the kind of folk who push their kids into show biz.

Or that when the fame fell, these ex supernovas became desperate and sought some meaning to stay afloat, often finding solace in God (or Rush Limbaugh) and the oppressions that only He can seem to foster.

In any case, a datalounge.com thread talks about this very topic, listing the following kids-turned-conservatives-or-fundies.

Shirley Temple

Kirk Cameron

Danny Bonaduce

Rick Schroder

Scott Baio

Willie Aames

Lisa Whelchel

Rick Segall

Jack Wild

Candace Cameron

Keith Thibodeaux

Lance Kerwin

And there are more.

Yikes.

If you see a former child star, don't ask for their autograph.

Ask them to produce their tax forms!

Charlie Korsmo, who was in one of my all-time favorite films (and The best Oscar-snibbed movie of 1990), Men Don;'t Leave, is sadly now a card-carrying Repuglican and teaches at a midwestern college. And whack-job Shannen Doherty aid the pledge of allegiance at that 1992 hatefest known as the GOP convention--in which Pat Buchanan was a headliner.

Does it really piss you off so much that a few 'childstars' didn't fall for the Hollyweird Libtard kooloaide? They 'went to the "darkside" as you call it? Is there something wrong with free thought and freedom of choice? You, sir are the raging maniac.

You're only perpetuating the polarizing mentality thats hurting this country by posting an article like this. At least if you're going to call it the "dark side" use examples of why they're so bad à la Kirk Cameron is a crazy anti-abortionist. Just because they're conservative doesn't make them bad. Grow up and publish something worth reading.

Soleil Moon-Frye, the one-trick "Punky Brewster" and her half-brotherhalf-trick Meeno Peluce of the original "Amityville Horror" are acolytes of L.A.'s scientology world. Sure adore their Jason Lee.
