Behold: A Celebrity Patriots Can Admire

Professors, political commentators, celebrities, and even some in the mainstream media have engaged in rhetoric to denounce Donald Trump.

It appeared that Lady Gaga sported an outfit resembling a Nazi uniform at Hillary Clinton's final rally, and then there was Madonna at the women's march in Washington, D.C., who told the crowd that she had "thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House." In addition, Hollywood stars and those in the press have gone over the line by describing Trump and his administration as "Hitlerian."

This comparison is ridiculous, considering that Trump's son-in-law and daughter are Orthodox Jews, and giving an invocation at the inauguration was Rabbi Marvin Hier, the dean of The Simon Wiesenthal Center, which confronts anti-Semitism. People should not forget that during Hitler's regime, there were political opponents thrown into prison, with many executed; the mass slaughter of Jews and gays along with other ethnicities; Russian prisoners of war killed; forced labor camps; the Nuremberg laws of 1935; children experimented on; and the Final Solution of the Jews. By comparing Trump to Hitler people are trivializing the Holocaust's victims.

Celebrities such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Meryl Streep are described as brave, a true inspiration, and heroes. But what have they really done besides using hyperbolic language? Have they fought for human rights around the globe? In many Middle Eastern countries such as Iran and Iraq, women are used as "slave girls," beaten, abused, and executed. In Nigeria, the Boko Haram terrorist network kidnapped two hundred schoolgirls only because they were Christians. In Afghanistan, acid was thrown in the faces of three teenage girls just because they wanted to attend school, while in Syria ISIS is executing homosexuals. Yet the celebrities are quiet. They do not know what the word courageous means.
