If you're Christian, vote Romney, she says

A pro-Romney, anti-Obama letter penned by Brad Pitt's mom has gone viral because it apparently struck a chord with Americans. And also because the writer is Brad Pitt's mom.

Pitt is known for some fairly liberal views, and is a strong gay marriage supporter - so much so, that he's said he won't marry Angelina until all gay couples can marry. But Brad's mom has quite different ideas:

    most moms love their kids whether or not they agree with their lifestyles or beliefs,i know my parents put up with a lot of garbage from me,but they were always there for me

    Parents should love their children. But they shouldn't interject themselves at total odds to what they accept from their children in the public arena and tell others that "they are wrong".

    She didn't say her son was wrong. She stated her opinion in a letter to the editor that went viral. Her son wasn't mentioned in the letter.

    Are you saying that she isn't entitled to express her opinions, even locally, because her son is a movie star that has different opinions?

    I'm saying she's a hypocrite who ought to have enough respect for her son and his life and positions since she's on welfare without his money that she should keep her mouth shut. Nothing like biting the hand that feeds you.

    For the record everybody. This was a normal letter to the editor of her local paper. Just like many of us have done.

    She sounds like a nice woman who has firm beliefs... And good reasons for having them.

    You know the distinction I make between "acceptance" and "tolerance" don't you Iron? I'll restate it anyways for anyone else who cares.

    With regards to the "Diversity" issue...

    These are the applicable definitions for acceptance...
    2. favorable reception; approval; favor.
    3. the act of assenting or believing: acceptance of a theory.
    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/accept...

    And these are the applicable definitions of "tolerance"...
    1. a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry.
    2. a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward opinions and practices that differ from one's own.
    3. interest in and concern for ideas, opinions, practices, etc., foreign to one's own; a liberal, undogmatic viewpoint.
    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tolera...

    Notice definition 3? It doesn't make sense unless you use the "classical definition" of "liberal".

    Definition 4 is the applicable one...

    4. favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.

    Not definition 2...

    2.( often initial capital letter ) noting or pertaining to a political party advocating measures of progressive political reform.

    No one will accept every opinion, position or belief they encounter in life. We are all equal in that regard. My favorite people are the one's that "tolerate" of their own free will. All I know about Mrs. Pitt is from the letter she wrote but seems like that type of person.:)

    True. Really, I dont care what she says. If anything, I kinda feel lame for even commenting on this post about Brad Pitt's mom. She looks too rich to understand reality anyways.

    Also, my momma has said some stupid stuff, some real stupid stuff. But I'd probably slap her if she ever used her influence to say something like that. No offense.

    So she expects "the world" to think like her or else? Wow! Knocks the crap out of me, when was she born? Oohh that's what i thought, in the 20th century! But how long ago in that century? Obviously decades of decades ago, move in to the 21st century lady,it's time.

  • renee

    And who is her? Just another mom from the billions, she is entitled to her opinion however she won't convince anyone else than conservatives and christians, i am out of that list.

    No he sure ain't a John Wayne. Haha. And she hasn't convinced me anything, I already had my opinion that is the same as hers.

    Mitt Romney penned legislation that allowed and funded abortion. Mitt Romney recently had a fund raiser at the home of Phil Frost, ceo of Teva pharmacuticals, maker of the morning after pill. Romney believes gays should be able to live together, adopt and even share health coverage. Mitt Romney is a Mormon who believes Jesus Christ was simply another prophet and not the son of God or Savior. If a vote for Obama banishes you to Hell, what will a vote for Romney do? REAL Christians will write in Ron Paul or Mike Huckabee if they are voting based on faith Missus Pitt.

    Mormons believe that God lives on the planet Kolob. That they will all become Gods someday too and get their own planet. That Joseph Smith talked to God and so does the current Prophet for that matter. That the Native Americans and Black people were turned dark because of Sin.
    Wonder if Mama Pitt knows all that?

    Somebody should tell her Mittens owns or owned Stericycle a company fined thousands for improper disposal of medical waste including fetuses. She might enjoy that.

    Loving her son unconditionally doesn't mean she isn't embarressed to have a dirty hippie for a son, a tattooed freak for a daughter in law, and foreign grandchildren because they're too good to adopt Americans orphans.

    American children are harder to adopt and many times the process gets so bogged up in paperwork and money invested without results that people give up out of frustration and go the easier route to other countries. I you'd adopted before or even bothered to research before commenting, you might know this. It's very apparent you don't though. So thanks for your misguided, inaccurate and vitriol filled post of genius.

    and that's a half-ass excuse anyway...am I to believe those two don't have enough money to solve any problem associated with adopting a child in need??
  • MongoAPillager

    They just adopted foreign children as that's the in vogue thing now,plus they have people for raising the kids anyway. wasn,t it them that had a hell of a time getting their last kid,some Zimbabwe government adoptive issues,not sure of the exact facts but they spent a lot more red tape and money than they would of here.i'll look it up

    How is this story any different from the Morgan Freeman bit. I fully expect all the comments made there to be made again if you truly believe what you wrote.
    That "Who cares what they think? Stardom doesn't make genius"?
