Actress Candace Cameron Bure is Being Persecuted for Her Religious Beliefs
Also, thaw that turkey!
You all, Thanksgiving is next week! How can this be? I’m slightly panicking over this fact because I just found out I HAVE TO COOK!
Backstory: The family and I were all set to eat out with my mom and siblings. We do this occasionally because we don’t have littles anymore to make a nice meal out a looming nightmare; it’s also great to have a break from the cooking and cleaning. The downside? No leftovers.
We just got some bad news about a relative, so it looks like we’re going to have to go with a more low-key Turkey Day. And that means cooking. I was going to share the graphic below with you, anyway, with a smirk on my face because I didn’t have to care about thawing a frozen turkey. Comeuppance at its finest, right?
Anyway, if you’re cooking this Thanksgiving, get those turkeys thawing!
I know there’s plenty happening in politics right now — from Trump announcing his run for president to the GOP taking over the House — but I wanted to talk about what’s happening to actress Candace Cameron Bure. Hollywood has truly turned to the dark side.
Have a fabulous weekend! See you back here on Tuesday.

Hollywood’s Persecution of Candace Cameron Bure
Candace Cameron Bure shot to fame in the 80s and 90s playing playing D.J. Tanner on the popular series, Full House. She’s remained in the spotlight with her Full House spinoff series, Fuller House, and regular appearances in Hallmark movies, often of the Christmas variety. She’s a devout Christian who married young, had her children young and maintained a busy acting career, all while looking gorgeous and being down to earth.
Hordes of American women admire Candace Cameron Bure and aspire to be more like her, but her traditional values make her a target of Hollywood’s bigots (a moniker that, sadly, seems to apply to most in Hollywood these days).
Bure’s Christianity makes her a frequent punching bag for the more immoral, intolerant and, let’s face it, attention seeking, elements in Tinsel Town. She recently announced that she’d be leaving The Hallmark Channel for the new Great American Channel, which aims to be a more faith-based version of Hallmark. It seems that the Hallmark scripts Bure was seeing were trending in a direction that didn’t align with her values.
She recently told the Wall Street Journal:
“My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them. I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment. I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”
And, of course, “traditional marriage” brought out a vicious, pavlovian response from others in Hollywood, who are convinced of — despite being completely devoid of — their own goodness because they bow, unquestioningly, to a godless, radical leftist agenda. Actress Hilarie Burton Morgan, whose career peaked twenty years ago when she appeared on the show One Tree Hill, immediately lashed out at Bure in a blind, ignorant — and prototypically leftist — rage.
As if the likes of Hilarie Burton Morgan has the slightest idea what Jesus taught. The left just oozes anger all of the time, they’d be naked without its ugly mantle. Here’s a question: If a bigot like Morgan calls you a bigot, doesn’t that make you the tolerant one?
Feeling emboldened, other Hollywood D listers piled on, possibly in hopes that doing so would get them some work with Hallmark. The real kicker here is that Candace Cameron Bure didn’t torch Hallmark for making movies that didn’t align with her values — she didn’t even take a shot a gay marriage — she simply decided to go in a different direction and make shows that she feels good about making.
You’d think that bringing more entertainment options to audiences, not to mention the additional jobs that would bring, would be a good thing for the industry. You’d be wrong. The Hilarie Burton Morgans of the world, whose seething intolerance prevents them from seeing beyond their own biases and feeeeelings, don’t care about the health of their industry. Their only goal is your compliance with their radical agenda.
For her part, Candace Cameron Bure responded to the criticism lobbed at her with grace, maturity and kindness, telling her haters, “I have a simple message: I love you anyway.”
In her Instagram post, she wrote, “I am a devoted Christian. Which means that I believe that every human being bears the image of God. Because of that, I am called to love all people, and I do.”
As The Federalist’s Elle Purnell wrote:
Without apologizing for her Christian beliefs, Bure said it “breaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and hurt anyone.” She also indicated that, while she won’t use her movies to promote an agenda that undermines traditional marriage, her beliefs do not preclude her from loving and working alongside people whose lifestyles she may not condone (this same distinction has been made by Jack Phillips, another Christian targeted for his convictions). “I had also expressed in my interview, which was not included, that people of all ethnicities and identities have and will continue to contribute to the network in great ways both in front of and behind the camera, which I encourage and fully support,” Bure said.
Donald Trump once said the rabid left doesn’t care about him; they hate us, we regular Americans, and he was just standing in the way. The same goes for us God-fearing people who value the traditions of our great country: the hatred being unloaded on Candace Cameron Bure is only partially meant for her. It’s also meant for us — Hollywood really can’t hide their distaste for our Judeo-Christian values.
To her credit, Bure gave a masterclass in gracefulness, staying true to your values and never bending the knee to the rage mob. We should be more like her.
