Let me get this straight: If we show our soldiers as brave, heroic and a force for good, which was their historic role for over a century, then it is propaganda. Ok, in that case I like some propaganda.

But why isn´t it propaganda when we show all soldiers as PTSD suffering victims or ticking time bombs or manipulated buffoons? Regarding the last point, chances are even a liberal voted for someone who voted to send them to war.

Name one social conservative policy that has actually harmed the country in the last twenty years. I mean harmed not in the sense of "all my pals got hysterical and felt really hurt" but in the sense of: trillions of debt, people impoverished, liberties lost and the state empowered.

It´s a fair point.

The fact that this movie is a hit is hugely satisfying. Let me be clear: I don´t want anyone to assume that I´m a jingoistic flag waver. I want there to be no doubt about it.

There are just two parties you can vote for. You demand that the GOP conform exactly to your ideal, jettisoning a huge part of their constituency or you cannot vote for them. Not going to happen. So right now, because there is no fantasy version of the GOP that you can vote for, you are mentally prepared to vote for the actual Democrat party as is, warts and corruption and big government and all. That is your right but it is not "independent".

Why? What has Bush ever done to you? Between 2005 and 2008 he at least tried to responsibly reform Social Security, to win a war that both parties had voted for, and deficits (even though they were a fraction of what we have now) were falling from 2004 to 2007. Unemployment was falling, too.

I´m not talking about the barrage of hatefilled demagoguery we were all subjected to, I´m talking about what happened. I´m sick of people pretending that Bush stole their lunch pack.

I am surrounded by liberals all the time. It takes independence to keep your head, go against the grain, not accept their version of reality but keep your perspective. Man is a herd animal. But the herd cannot alter reality no matter how much the brain wants to give in.

"..by 2016 Hillary Clinton or Andrew Cuomo will be running the country."

Make sure you will not deserve them. I know I won´t.

Theocrats? You are actually buying into that hatefilled rhetoric? You use that name for people who are sharing the values that this country was build on?

I say this as a non-believer who didn´t swallow the liberal hatred against traditions that have served us well, or certainly served us better than big-government social engineering.

If you hate social conservatives more than what liberals are doing, then your free market talk is just that. People who don´t want to pay for abortions. Oh the horror. They are practically forcing you to enable the disembowelling of the economy and our liberties - the ones that actually are important.

Hey, what would a President Romney or Santorum actually be able to do in terms of social conservatism that would actually hurt the country? Or you? You are outraged over a fear fantasy.

As I said, you already sound like a default Democrat.

"The message should be so simple: Republicans represent free market capitalism which emboldens the individual(if you can figure it out and get your head straight) and the left is regulating the market to death which hurts the individual and gives the state power."

That is a fact. So what is your problem? You are provided with a clear choice between a party that will pursue the wrong course relentlessly and a party that won´t. I don´t have to love any GOP politician in order to know what choice to make.

And yet you are rationalizing your way towards making the wrong choice. Because Republicans have an unfashionable constituency, people who are actually conservative. Oooh, the world will end!

You already sound as if the Democrats had default rights to your vote but Republicans have to prove they are worthy. And that makes you a liberal.

Which part went over your head?

1. What they did is in bad taste - a bad joke. So what? They have a stressful job and they are not politicians.

2. Hollywood has been painting our soldiers as crazies for decades now. A recent picture of a bad joke provides no justification, no matter how happy you were when you found it.

3. The occupy movement (and that is just one example) has its share of violent thugs, anti-democrats and anti-semites but Hollywood doesn´t feel compelled to paint them in a bad light. Actual behavior has nothing to do with it. Left-wing anti-American impulses are a far better explanation.

Speaking of actual behavior, American troops have again and again held back under fire and risked their lives to avoid civilian casualties - actual, common and very remarkable behavior that most countries´ militaries would be incapable of - and what is your reaction? You cringe, right? You want to dwell on the bad and call it balance. Where does Hollywood get their screwed up ideas? In the depths of their colons.

Current prediction at Box Office Mojo is actually over $24 million.

Now why would you have a problem with that? Oh, don´t bother. We know.
