Another Canadian caught showing his true colors. If I had a dollar for every time I heard a Canadian attack the U.S on policy or government...I'd have a nice nest egg saved up. What blows me away is that it happens so often by Canadians living and earning ridiculous money in America! Talk about biting the hand that feeds them.
You know what I find offensive beyond this? A guy who was once living in a van with his family in socialist Canada who made more money than he could ever imagine,
who lives in the country and remains a dual citizen. Granted, I remember he did take on a U.S citizenship so he's better than some others who milk the U.S system, but regardless, tell the world, "I denounce my Canadian citizenship" and have one citizenship if you REALLY love your adopted country. Certainly after these many years he should.
To each their own I suppose. Between these antics and his shaming of guns as he finished a movie involving guns (and to which the studio was not too pleased), he's gone off the rails.
Jim Carrey slammed for 'disgraceful,' garish portrait of Sarah Sanders
Jim Carrey faced swift backlash Sunday after the actor tweeted a painting that apparently showed White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders in a terrifyingly garish light.
“This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!” Carrey wrote in his tweet accompaning the portrait Saturday.

Though Carrey didn’t mention Sanders by name, many Twitter users knew right away who it was,
The Wrap reported.
So he has free speech.
I would look at both the good and the bad:
A. on the good side,
Carrey also has donated millions to charitable causes
including victims' families after 9/11
Carrey Donates $1 Million to Victims' Families
Jim Carrey, the first actor to earn a $20 million salary, is opening his wallet to aid relief efforts in the wake of last week's terrorist attacks. Carrey, who is one of the stars scheduled to appear on Friday night's multi-network fund-raising special, America: A Tribute to Heroes, has donated $1 million to victims' families. Carrey's publicist said that through his donation, the actor "hopes [to] encourage other people to contribute as generously as they can."
He's certainly not alone. Joining the dozens of performers who have already donated money or are involved in benefits, Rosie O'Donnell has pledged $1 million to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. A donation in the same amount from rapper/producer Dr. Dre is earmarked for Los Angeles-area radio station KPWR ("Power 106")'s Knowledge Is Power Foundation.
B. On the bad side:
I don't agree with the problems he got into with a former girlfriend
before she committed suicide after reporting he lied about VD:
Jim Carrey gave his Irish ex-girlfriend THREE STD's before breaking up with her and triggering her suicide, claims her estranged husband in explosive lawsuit | Daily Mail Online
If this is true that tests confirmed he already had VD and lied about it, and thus this
"relationship abuse" contributed to her suicide (from feeling she was "damaged goods" and
could never have a normal relationship again), then I wish Carrey would
resolve things with the family suing him,
where they don't suffer worse legal hassle and trauma over this tragedy.
So the estranged husband claimed. (most of your post I agree with , the actors give lots of money to charitable causes)
No problem with sending pictures of Michelle Obama around looking like a monkey, the pic is fine, quite the artist.
Dear
Penelope
I don't oppose the free speech in either case,***
but criticize the right for distracting from the real issues
of Constitutional laws that the Obamas, Clintons and Democrats
violate instead of correcting and teaching standards of govt.
Why didn't the opponents on the right sue to correct
Obama on the ACA mandates that were unconstitutional?
The argument the Constitutionalist failed to fight for was
the violation of Constitutional beliefs in limited govt and
the process of passing an Amendment before expanding
the authority of federal gov to include health care. We all
know that the federal ACA laws were presented and passed
as a public health bill, but the Court ruled on that as a tax bill.
So it did not pass both the Congress and Courts as the
same bill but was presented two different ways and was not the same context.
I'm fine with "free speech' to protest against Obama or anyone else.
but if the problem is violating Constitutional laws,
then that should be corrected by addressing it directly!
Simply calling names or attacking people personally with images
is NOT correcting the problem.
Even Ted Nugent got rebuked for calling Obama a mongrel
and accepted the correction and issued his own public correction afterwards.
Nugent was advised to stick with Constitutional principles
and arguments when criticizing the President instead of personal attacks
that detract and distract, and derail the process of corrections.
Penelope I hope you will support people on both
left and right in making corrections mutually
instead of exchanging insults and attacks back and forth
that do little to solve problems but do more to make them worse!
Do you agree that it doesn't solve the problems
when either side resorts to namecalling or baiting in the media,
instead of focusing on SOLUTIONS?
*** Important Note:
Penelope I don't know if this is clear but I believe free speech
is important in correcting the REAL problems, so people do not
resort to slamming like this instead. So the reason I support free speech
is to reduce and prevent these slams. Not by attacking back because of
them but demanding real corrections instead! I think that is the more
effective way to stop the cause of insults and personal attacks. Solve
the real problems causing the conflict, using the same free speech
abused to insult each other if problems are not solved correctly.
