Title: Dennis Rodman is Blinded by the Palace Lights
Topic: Celebrities and Politics

The MSM is gushing over how wonderful and great it was to see a “celebrity” like Dennis Rodman schmooze with Dictator Kim Jong Un during a recent trip to North Korean. And I use the word “celebrity” in the loosest sense.

In case you didn’t know, Kim Jong Un just “threatened to exercise its 'right to pre-emptive nuclear attack'” against the United States and South Korea. Should we take him seriously? Can we stop him? The UN has approved sanctions aimed at disabling his finances - but will that work?

Back to Dennis Rodman…what was the purpose of his visit to North Korea? Should we, as American citizens, continue to allow Hollywood actors and other celebrities to “represent” us in foreign counties, especially socialist and dictatorship-style countries?
