Typical Hollywood liberals

An utterly predictable response from utterly vacuous people.
I’m reminded, in a strange way, of the rich man who came to Jesus looking to follow Him, only to turn away again in despair after Christ asked him to first sell all that he owns (c.f. Matthew 19:16-22)
Tim Robbins‘ and Susan Sarandon’s mission to protect the poor and needy doesn’t apply to their Greenwich Village neighborhood. The Oscar-winning liberals recently attended a Landmarks Preservation Commission hearing to oppose St. Vincent’s plea to build a new, larger hospital on West 12th Street, three blocks from their home. This despite their support of causes like UNICEF and Champions for Children. “The hospital provides $40 million in care to the indigent every year,” one proponent told us. “Robbins dismissed more than 100 people rallying in support of the hospital - low-income, union workers and veterans of the AIDS crisis - as ‘those people out there.’ “ Sarandon said in a statement: “Improving the hospital is a great idea. However, this can be accomplished without compromising the neighborhood. St. Vincent’s should consider the proposed alternative solutions.” Robbins declined to comment.
They’re all for helping the homeless and the poor…until, I guess, it impacts them personally. It’s an interesting, though not surprising, confirmation of Sarandon and Robbins’ true principles.
