I will never call another man "Baby".

Jon Voight has had one of the longest, most impressive careers in Hollywood history, from the title role in 1969's Oscar winner "Midnight Cowboy" to his current role on the hit series "Ray Donovan." But Voight's success in the famously liberal entertainment arena may be even more surprising given his political leanings: he's a staunch conservative, and proud of it.

“There are a lot of conservatives in Hollywood, and they’re not very welcome," Voight told the December issue of Cigar Aficionado. "It’s a big surprise that we’ve come to this juncture where people with patriotic thoughts could not find a home in Hollywood.”

Voight says the left's current embrace of the term "progressive" smacks of something else.

“I think the word ‘progressive’ is a very devious term. It was created as a substitute for ‘communist,’" he said. "What they propose is the reverse of progress. It’s some that that does taste of communism and Karl Marx’s pernicious philosophy.”

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Someone should remind him that Teddy Roosevelt was a "Progressive".

Conservatives do fine in Hollywood. That chick from That 70s Show who's now on OitNB is a conservative & she regularly finds work. Kelsey Grammar as well. Bill Cosby is a black conservative & was incredibly respected before everyone found out he majored in Gynecology and minored in Pharmaceuticals.

Hollywood producers only care about who'll make them money.

Bruce Willis and Adam Sandler have done ok as well. The fact that a majority of Hollywood stars may be liberal doesn't mean that there is a snub of conservative actors.
