Further, it is true that perception is reality. So the fact that this film gives the world a picture of American "soldiers" as the biggest guys with the baddest guns and the most righteous causes, really does great things for the perception of our country abroad. Reagan knew that America always needed to show her strength to the world regardless of circumstance. I believe Bush saw that, too. In the age of Obama, when showing the world your inner, angst-ridden, morally-confused soul passes for diplomacy, it's nice to know that at least one filmmaker in Hollywood "gets it." Kudos to Stallone. This movie sends the message that America is one badass place and that Tyrants will fall before her.

Thank you for standing tall and firm. Schiff is a hack and I'm embarrassed that he is my congressman. I'm glad that there was such a presence at the town hall to remind him of who his constituency REALLY is.

Health Care. They can't even be consistent with their values. More evidence of "Do as I say, not as I do."

You have a dizzying and somewhat terrifying gift of communication. I am so glad that you use your powers for good.

As I read the turn in your story, I truly shared in your profound sadness at Jacquelib's life. Here is a lost person whose beauty is being marred by those who take advantage of her as apparently so many have before. Thanks for being a mensch and not adding to her sorrow.

It is an infernal concept meant for bondage, slavery and manipulation. Nobody's for murder, but everybody is for choice! Here's a trick: anytime the administration comes out with a new agency or term, call it by the exact opposite of it's name. Then you'll know what it's really about.

Doonsbury is definitely at fault. That Hack-neyed, conspiracy-theorist, left wing strip has destroyed this country.

Are you saying that men who were among the top thinkers of their age, "The Age of Enlightenment", when beyond all other time in history, "Reason" was preeminent, were being unreasonable? You seem like a reasonable fellow, surely you can see the folly of calling upon something within the created order to bestow that which is transcendent of the created order to a fellow creation in that order. Drivel.

Thank you for speaking to the myth of overpopulation. I remember as a grade-schooler having the Ethiopian famine thrust upon me as an argument that populations in the world are too high. "What happens if we breed ourselves out of food?! We don't want to end up like the poor Ethiopians!" Even as an adult conservative, I still bought into the myth as it became "common knowledge." Only now, as I challenge EVERYTHING that I learned in school, do I see that we have been sold a bill of goods when it comes to looking at the worlds problems. And the ultimate agenda- regardless of the reason: control; and the ultimate control, regardless of the means: life and death.

Well played, sir.

If inalienable rights do not come from a source higher than oneself, or God forbid, the state, then they are no longer inalienable. They may be revoked by the biggest fish at any time. Which is what we are seeing now. We would do well to avoid the short-sightedness of a "secular" Right. It is only a much slower Left. But have no doubt, its final destination, no matter how slow the march, IS Left. BTW, Adams kicks butt. That is all.

If I may make an additional assertion: the problem with the current "fiscal-only" shifts to the right that the nation is seeing among those who want less government, but "don't care" about social conservatism is this: we end up on the Left again. By only reducing the amount of government in our lives without addressing the moral relativism, we are in essence hacking at the plant rather than pulling at it's roots. Sure it will look like there are less weeds, but the plant will keep growing. Conservatism is philosophically grounded in the concepts of right and wrong as defined by an impartial, transcendent standard. It is fundamentally opposed to relative morality. In fact it is discontent with transcendent absolutes that made the call of the Left so enticing in the first place. Every society that has ever tried to throw off the "shackles of morality" has ended up in greater tyranny than when they undertook the enterprise.

Those damnable unions are only trying to kill the goose that is laying the golden eggs. When you strangle the bird you end up cutting off your wealth. Duh! Gangsters, all of 'em.

May the MSM go down in flames as they deserve to. Thu, 4 Jun 2009 19:18:43 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jtsimpson/2009/04/27/from-fourth-estate-to-fourth-branch-of-government/#IDComment23385110 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2009/06/03/ghost-town-hollywood-comedy-isnt-dead-yet/#IDComment23369736 Nailed it, John. This film is beyond what it should be by all accounts. Being a Gervais fan, I saw this in the theater. Laughed out loud, specifically at the after dinner scene with the dog. I'd recommend it (and have) to several people that I know.

This is not only a good analogy on it's face, but speaks to the deeper issue of the Left. Those on the hard Left, especially those in Hollywood are emotionally stunted. They think like children...at their most mature that is a high-school-level, but most often it's jr. high. "If you disagree with me, it means you hate me." "If you live a lifestyle that conflicts with mine, you're a threat!" "I don't have to be held responsible for my actions or behaviors...but YOU do." "If I can't argue with you, I'm going to call you names and spread gossip about you." "I have to snuff your candle out, so mine burns brighter." It's the kind of narcissism you find in a two-year-old. What we're seeing in politics at the national and state level in this country is also a result of this immaturity. This is what happens when you give the power to children!!! Gah! James Spader pisses me off!
