Breitbart.tv : Michael Moore: Republicans Hate African Americans And Detroit

Crying racism is ALL Dems have left.

Breitbart.tv : NAACP's Ben Jealous: Florida Gov Wants To Suppress 'Darky' Vote

Tue, 7 Feb 2012 04:25:39 +0000

It's sad to see what the NAACP has become. An organization with such a prestigious beginning and history has become a joke; most black people are no longer members. Mr. Jealous' comments are as ridiculous and asinine as those who are amazed by Mr. Jealous' skin tone.

Big Hollywood : George Lucas Slams Hollywood: 'Red Tails' Too 'Black' and American For Studios

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:17:28 +0000

During my senior (or maybe junior) year at Annapolis, the MIDN Black Studies Club hosted the remaining Airmen. To the man, they recalled losing planes during missions; it happened to all bomber escort squadrons. It was the Army Air Corps (later, Air Force) that perpetuated that myth. @slobis - I think Charles McGee was part of that group. I vividly recall fellow mids who wanted to fly after graduation and officers who were pilots and NFOs crowding the meeting room. They didn't want to pass up the chance to meet living aviation legends.

Breitbart.tv : CBS Sportswriter: 'If Tebow Had More Class He’d Just Kill Dogs Or Get Drunk And Run Over Somebody'

Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:56:38 +0000

Watching this the first time, the CBS sportscaster's sarcasm flew over my head. But, he was actually praising Tebow by highlighting some absurd behavior from other NFL notables (Vick, Brady). It flew over my head and that of Howard Kurtz.

Big Hollywood : 'The Adventures of Tintin' Review: Motion-Capture Cinema Comes of Age Under Spielberg's Guidance

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:14:14 +0000

I am vaguely familiar with Tintin as a comic fan but this looks really good. I hope it does well in theaters but I'll wait to see it on blu-ray.

Breitbart.tv : Eric Cantor Slows Down STOCK Act Passage

Fri, 9 Dec 2011 18:23:37 +0000

I have to agree. A lot of posters here are being reactionary. Rep. Cantor seems to want to take the time to craft a bill that is effective. Besides, isn't the old saying "Haste makes waste"?

Big Hollywood : Greg Gutfeld's 3 AM 'Red Eye' Ratings Beat Scarborough, Piers Morgan, John King, Chris Matthews...

Tue, 1 Nov 2011 20:30:51 +0000

I love "Red Eye", the show works with my arcane and slightly raunchy sense of humor. The show speaks to me. So I'm elated to hear it's doing so well. Now if I could just get a TiVo or DVR...

Breitbart.tv : Capitalist Confronts #OccupyLA

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 18:24:15 +0000

This man was very brave, he answered questions with aplomb and directness. His straight answers reached some in crowd. I particularly enjoyed his answer on corporations supporting their private interests in a public forum, possibly the best I've ever heard on the subject. I couldn't tell if they were mocking his support of Herman Cain's 9-9-9 plan, however.

Breitbart.tv : Chris Wallace: 'I Messed Up' Asking Bachmann 'Are You a Flake?'

Mon, 27 Jun 2011 13:11:30 +0000

Yes, it was a stupid way of framing the question but I think the vitriol leveled at Chris Wallace is just as bad. He was asking her about how she is perceived in DC. He was giving her an opportunity to answer those perceptions, which - as Wallace admitted - she answered well. I believe Chris Wallace is an excellent interviewer and is a strong supporter of Fox's tagline: Fair & Balanced. I would rather he ask those he interview tough questions (even if they feel a bit insulted afterwards) than get softball questions like the Alphabets!

Big Peace : Affirmative Action Scandal Rocks Naval Academy: Students Disillusioned at Lower Admissions Standards

Mon, 28 Mar 2011 21:18:15 +0000

This topic is still getting replies? After getting called "racist" by 4truth4country, I stopped looking. BTW, what is/was a pro forma admission? I never heard that term before.

I knew you were a troll when I first read your reply but I had to see how far you'd go. What was the phrase? "Once you call someone names, you've lost the argument"? Since you can't debate a topic without hyperbolic insults and name-calling, I don't have to detail the difference between the Federal US Service Academies (where all cadets/midshipmen receive full-scholarships) and HBCUs (the correct term), which are state universities. Thanks for losing the argument.

4truth4country - I sense your righteous indignation but it's obvious by your responses that you don't know much about the Academy admissions process. I'm not talking down to you; I'm a graduate and worked for the Admissions Office during my last tour. It's easy to say "discrimination" or "racism" but consider the Admissions Board has to compare students from all over the nation, where grades don't always align. An 'A' student in West Virginia may not compare to an 'A" student in Florida, since different states weigh grades differently. Sometimes, schools within the same County may weigh grades differently (ask any AP student). This is why Admissions Boards look at test scores and extra-curricular activities. On top of that there is the nomination process, which involves Congressional Representations. Oh, and the term is HBCU, for Historically Black College and University. My father (may he rest in peace) was a proud graduate of one. Nothing prevents white students from attending these schools. And when I was in the field for the Academy, HBCUs were my toughest competition for Black students.

With all due respect to Adam West, Kevin Conroy's Batman frowns on your comparisons! Yea, it was animated but watch the shows or movies and I dare you deny the strength of his performances!

From my personal experience, I have to co-sign w/ dec7540. There is more to the Academy lifestyle than grades. Two of my fellow companymates - who were at the top of their classes and got fantastic SAT scores - didn't last 3-weeks into plebe summer because they couldn't handle the military atmosphere. Another classmate didn't last the first semester for the same reason.

This story pains me. I'm a graduate of the US Naval Academy and a minority. I busted my tail to get there (went to Prep School and glad I did). Near the end of my career, I worked for the Admissions Office. I can't speak for the Academy's standards now but when I was a candidate for admission and when I was recruiting, many different factors were weighed in considering a student's prospects, not just grades. Yes, students had to have good grades but extra-curricular activities (athletics, work, volunteerism) were looked at. @Caedite_Eos: Attending the Prep School in Newport, RI is NOT a detriment. Far from it, Prep School graduates are usually more prepared for the pace of the Academy and tend to graduate at a higher rate than those who come in straight from high school. Since the Academy's graduation rate is upwards of 80%, you can see the advantages.

Big Hollywood : Top 5: Favorite Television Food & Recipes

Sun, 3 Oct 2010 20:43:21 +0000

This long-time Star Trek fan can forgive the omission of "Romulan Ale" nor "Bloodwine" since they are drinks and not technically food. But I am quite distressed that neither the Vulcan delicacy "Plomeek soup" nor the Klingon dessert "Rokeg Blood Pie" didn't make the list.

Big Hollywood : Bring On 'The Expendables': Violent Cartoons Were Good for America

Wed, 1 Sep 2010 19:16:45 +0000

I have the entire Robotech series on DVD and it was one of the finest shows on television. Good guys were injured, killed or faltered. Aliens were complex, some were completely evil (Dolza and Khyron), others were honorable (Breetai, Exedore) and some were confused (Zor). An interesting side note: there was never a Japanese version of this show. What we call "Robotech" was actually three separate programs melded into a single 85-episode show by the American producers and writers. See my article on the subject: http://www.animerated.com/robotech-a-retrospectiv...

Big Hollywood : Open Thread: ABC's "The Goode Family" 9/8c

Thu, 28 May 2009 01:44:11 +0000

I liked the scenes in the grocery store...funny! The show does expose the humor of the lib lifestyle while tweaking the ultra-right (purity rings, for example). It seems better suited for Fox than ABC but if the network can cut back on ridiculous "reality shows" with dancing has-beens, this show could work for them.

Big Hollywood : NY Times: Knives Come Out for 'The Goode Family'

Wed, 27 May 2009 05:41:50 +0000

I have a lot of respect for Judge, who is well-regarded in the animation industry. "King of the Hill" was the second-longest running show of Fox and the second-longest running prime time animated program in American TV history. His cadre of memorable characters gave me hours of entertainment and I'll watch the first episode of "The Goode Family" Wednesday. I owe him that much.
