America Ferrera, who plays Ugly Betty on a successful new TV series was born in Los Angeles in 1984 of Honduran parents. She grew up in the West Valley in a well-to-do middle class neighborhood and enjoyed all the benefits and opportunities of growing up in the United States. She attends the University of Southern California and majors in Theater Arts and International Relations.
She has enjoyed a life of freedom to pursue whatever she wanted to achieve in life and has attained both success and celebrity.
Despite the opportunities she has enjoyed, especially when compared with the opportunities available to the people of Central America, where her family is from, she feels that America is not free and won’t be free until Bush is gone.
Brent Baker reports on Newsbusters the following dialogue at the Independent Spirit Award ceremony on February 24th:
Zach Braff: “You know America, here’s a little interesting tidbit you probably don’t know about me. My middle name is Israel. We’re both named after countries. “
America Ferrera: “Wow, that is interesting.”
Braff: “So do you think that you have any traits in common with the country that is your namesake?”
Ferrera: “Well, you know, I mean I guess I’m a free-spirited person and America’s supposedly the ‘land of the free,’ right?”
Braff: “Well, I guess.”
Ferrera: “Or at least, we will be in 2008.” [loud applause] Well how about you, Zach, I mean do you have anything in common with Israel?”
Braff: “Let me see. Well, I’m predominantly Jewish, I’m very hot and all of my neighbors hate me. So yeah.” [audience laughter]
One often wonders why spoiled Hollywood lefties who have enjoyed every advantage can even imply in any way that there is not freedom in America. A requisite for being a Hollywood success must be that you have to hate America.
My wife loves the show, but now neither she nor I will be able to watch Ugly Betty without thinking that ungrateful America Ferrera hates America, our country.

BEAR TO THE RIGHT 
What’s to like about America? more than 95% of us are employed, we have too much food to eat that our children weigh more than the average adult anywhere else on the planet, we throw away more food than Africa has to eat, we aren’t forced to join the army, 90% of our children have cell phones, almost all of our school children ride to classes, almost no one except ditch diggers who get 50 bucks an hour, breaks a sweat when we work. We have the best healthcare system in the world even uninvited immigrants have it, Yeah life in America sucks.

Exactly, Bernie. But according to Ugly Betty we won’t be “free” until Pres. Bush is out of office – and she isn’t even blonde.
