Another Hollywood Leftist Makes A Sharp Turn To The Right | National Politics | Online Forum

Actor and comedian Paul Rodriguez has now personally felt the effects of crazy leftist policies and a judicial system that makes law from the bench. Formerly a supporter of environmental groups he is now facing the total ruin of his family farm due to the legally induced drought in California caused by court orders issued under the Endangered Species Act. Environmentalists sued to protect an endangered 2-inch minnow called the delta smelt. The court order shut off the pumps that provide water to the valley and support the growth of food on the richest farm land in the country and has throw 80,000 people out of work.

Rodriguez addressed the 2009 Annual California Republican Assembly Convention in May and here's part of what he had to say:

Rodriguez, the son of Mexican immigrants, also spoke of his late father's admiration for America, and the good fortune one has in just getting to live in this country: “He had a deep love for this country. He was grateful. He told me that he wasn’t going to leave an inheritance for his children. He was going to leave something more important than that. He was going to leave them in a place with ideals, and a place where you can become someone if you really wanted to, you had a shot at it.”

And in contrast to much of the mainstream media's habit of encouraging Republicans to moderate on social issues, he suggested that the Republican party's conservative positions on issues like abortion and family values would be an advantage in attracting Hispanic voters. Rodriguez: “You need to attract more of me, or else you’d be an endangered species. … You know, we have so much in common. A lot of the values that this party espouses, we espouse. We believe strongly in family. We believe life is sacred.”

Sean Hannity interviewed him about the man-made drought on his show. Well worth your time to see the transformation that becoming conservative can bring:
