Apparently, there’s at least one person in Hollywood (aside from Jon Voight) who is proud to call himself a conservative — and while this La-La Land resident has the support of a who’s who of right-wing A-listers, he’s not unveiling his true identity.

[IMGCAP(1)]Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) joined Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.) on Twitter this week to praise “American Heart,” the newly released single from musician Jon David. And while the ditty leaves no doubt that the singer loves America — lyrics include “I got stars in my eyes/I’m in love with her/And I won’t apologize” — there is the question of who exactly Jon David is.

“Big Hollywood” and his song has received
praise from everybody from Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) to pitcher Curt Schilling.
