What else is new? The usual cadre of privileged, out-of-touch celebrities are united in virtue-signaling once more.

But of course they're not united against the "hate" perpetrated by ISIS and other radical Islamic terrorists -- you know, the ones currently roving the West and beyond at record speed, hacking train passengers with axes; targeting vacation-goers and stabbing their young daughters over the way they are dressed; sexually assaulting women by the thousands on New Year's eve; slitting priest's throats; taking nuns hostages; stabbing and killing pregnant women; terrorizing holiday celebrations by mowing down little children with 2-ton trucks; disemboweling nightclub revelers; blowing up major airport terminals; massacring members of the LGBT community; gunning down journalists and murdering Jews in Israel by any means possible -- be it via machine guns, machetes, cars, suicide vests, or missiles; committing genocide of Christians, Yazidis and other Muslims across the Middle East and Africa; perpetrating genital mutilation of young girls; pitching members of the LGBT community off roofs and hanging them by cranes; burning little girls in cages because they will not have sex with their captors; condoning and encouraging honor killings; oppressing women; propagating child-marriage; and plotting more death, destruction and subjugation than the normal human psyche can even comprehend or absorb.

No, that's not the kind of hatred these complete and utter morons are standing against. The kind of hate that is no longer relegated to some hole in Kabul or Fallujah, but the streets of Orlando and Nice and Berlin and San Bernardino and Cologne and Paris and Brussels and New York (9-11 should not be forgotten) and soon promised Washington, D.C., Rio, and beyond. 

That kind of "hate" is irrelevant to them, because Donald Trump is on the scene, and that is just taking things entirely too far. Time for the lemmings to pearl-clutch and create a new #hashtag and pen an "open letter," which they just published on George Soros' MoveOn.org: 

An open letter to the voters of the United States:

We are a coalition of artists who, today, are joining millions of Americans in our commitment to defeat the presumptive Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump.

We believe it is our responsibility to use our platforms to bring attention to the dangers of a Trump presidency, and to the real and present threats of his candidacy.

Donald Trump wants to take our country back to a time when fear excused violence, when greed fueled discrimination, and when the state wrote prejudice against marginalized communities into law. His rhetoric and policy proposals exclude, degrade, and harm:

Mexican and Latino people
Black people
Muslim people
LGBTQ people
Women and their health care providers
Asian people

Refugees
People with disabilities
Working class people
American prisoners of war
…and those of countless other marginalized communities.

When dangerous and divisive leaders have come to power in the past, it has been in part because those of goodwill failed to speak out for themselves or their fellow citizens. Some of us come from the groups Trump has attacked. Some of us don’t. But as history has shown, it’s often only a matter of time before the “other” becomes me.

That is why we need to unite before it is too late—for the sake of our fellow Americans and for the sake of our democracy—and why it is so critical for those of us with the privilege to speak out to do so loudly and forcefully, in our work, online, and in our communities, with all the resources we have at hand.

We call upon every American to join us–to stand together on the right side of history, to use the power of our voice and the power of our vote to defeat Donald Trump and the hateful ideology he represents.

Funny, these same liberals didn't seem to care too much over the last eight years while our Commander in Chief systematically chipped away at the nation's unity -- driving a wedge so wide and so deep on racial, social, economic and political lines -- that we now see veritable anarchy on our streets. 

Before being signed off by such usual suspects as Mark Ruffalo, Lena Dunham, Russell Simmons, Meg Ryan, Patricia Arquette and other domestic and foreign policy "experts," the letter concludes: 

We are united against sexism.
We are united against racism.
We are united against xenophobia.
We are united against homophobia.
We are united against fascism.
We are united against fascism.

Yes, they repeated the line about "fascism." Because you know, Trump is Hitler and his supporters are brownshirts and the celebrities felt they needed to drive the hysteria home. The saddest part of all is that these wannabe activists are too far-gone to even notice their complete and utter hypocrisy. 

They rail against "sexism," yet think telling Americans they should vote for Hillary Clinton because she is a woman isn't sexist.

They rail against racism, except that kind laid bare by Wikileaks, that exposes their own.

They stand against xenophobia -- which is defined as an "irrational fear" of other countries and cultures -- even though Americans' fears concerning tenets of Islam that are anathema to Western values, and of refugees and the terrorism some may bring -- is far from "irrational."

They stand against homophobia, yet are the first to defend Islam and its anti-LGBT tenets and actions -- over upholding the safety of the LGBT community. No better example of this was the way the Left dealt with Omar Mateen's terrorist massacre of LGBT members in Orlando. 

There is nothing wrong with wanting to promote civil discourse. In fact, that is something sorely lacking in our society. But as always, Leftists miss the mark entirely, and when they do, it is with grave consequence. 

Maybe if for once they used their "privilege" as a platform to amplify the real problems we are facing, they could actually do some good in this world. But that would be hard. Virtue signaling is so much easier, and sounds a lot better at their cocktail parties and the other vacuous echo chambers they inhabit.
