In reply to the discussion: Mark Wahlberg Wants His Record Expunged So He Can Be a Cop [View all]OKNancy
(41,832 posts)He was a 16 year old from a really, really rough neighborhood. He Turned his life around and is a true "do-gooder" now.
It just took a few google clicks to find this out.
http://hollowverse.com/mark-wahlberg/ - this article has footnotes to verify the following:
Wahlberg knows what its like to be the underdogas a young hoodlum on the streets of Boston and as a human in a world governed by apes, where humans were second-class citizens at best. This experience has colored Wahlbergs political views. Look how he gets you with this quote:
My politics are about kids who grew up in places like me. I am concerned with the environment, but Im a lot more concerned about the environment in the inner city that doesnt have any trees or marshes to save.5
Wahlberg backs it up with his charity work, which includes charities for the homeless6 as well as a foundation for helping underprivileged youth.7
But at the end of the day, Wahlberg is a Democrat, having donated all of his campaign contribution money so far to Democratic presidential candidates, including Obama in 2008.8 He seems to be a supporter for Obamas 2012 campaign as well.9

Also, google his name and see all the right-wing sites who hate him. THat's good enough for me.
I'm not linking the article here but the title is: Mark Wahlberg is No Conservative Hero or Have You Forgotten?
