Actor Clint Eastwood's Super Bowl ad for Chrysler got a quick and hearty welcome from Obama administration officials who saw it as an unofficial endorsement for the president's auto bailout. But the 81-year-old screen icon worked nearly as fast to shut down the notion his ad...

Still can't watch that, sorry. Too painful.
Powerful.
Thanks Andrew
Very, very excellent.
Thank you Andrew Klavan, I'm sending this to everyone one I know.
It is important that we as a people never ever forget that terrible day. Far too quickly we have been distracted. Far too quickly many have forgotten.

I don't think brain chemistry conceives ideas.
I agree about the crucial importance of liberty and how it is necessary in order to respect volition.
I remember what I was wearing….what my kids were doing….what I made for breakfast, even. And for the life of me I can't understand how someone could ask me to "let this go". How can I when it is branded in my memory and my heart?
National Day of Service??? Screw that. National Day of Servicing My Weapon, maybe….
Yes, it is painful, and I have been shedding tears for a while now. Couldn't sleep last night, either. But sometimes you have to be strong and face the pain. Godspeed to you.
The current administration and their enablers are not doing the right kind of things to keep another 9/11 from occurring, period… and their dismissal of the War on Terror as some quaint irrelevancy from the Bush era is sheer insanity.
When it comes to doing the right thing vs shameful appeasement he mistakenly believes will soothe our enemies, it's not a call that this opportunist coward Obama has to think about for five seconds.
And Israel, you'll be on your own for a while…

Thank you Andrew…this should be required to see by every kid in America and every appeaser as well. Liberty is always worth defending, and without liberty there is nothing else.
Expressed with such clarity. I weep that so many cannot understand it.
Thank you Andrew.
Dear liberals,
If you are still confused as to why I have no qualms with pouring a little water on terrorists, this video might enlighten you.

That was one of the most powerful videos that I have ever seen. Nothing else needs to be added. Andrew you have said what is on the heart of many of us. Thank you.
I'll tell you what I wrote while reporting your comment. "not today, tomorrow yes, but not today"
You gain nothing by this.
You have the right to say it, but not the discernment necessary to be effective in your point.
I think it's obscene that he stands there and pontificates in front of images of my fellow citizens dying and suffering. Shame on this blowhard.
Mr. Klaven,
Thank You! I will be showing this to my 23 year old son and 16 year old daughter.
Glenn Kenny… see a proctologist, had your head pulled from your ass.
Andrew — You rock, brother. Great piece.
That was amazing. Crying now. This day is so hard.
Kenny should have been driving with me to Falls Church with our interns that day. He has no idea what obscene is. Not a clue. Shameful Kenny you are very shamful.
Another superb piece by Mr. Klavan. I visit PJTV frequently hoping each time that Andrew will have posted something new. Thank you Andrew.
Andrew
There is no way I can add to what you said.
But I just wanted to say that I was here, and I agree.
thank you for your clear and poignant words
Thank you Andrew,
Liberty will allow us to live free, amongst those who who want to harm us. Progressive minds will surrender us, to those who want to murder our American family. I will choose Liberty, while I remember and fight for our fallen.
Off topic, but if they ever want to remake Twilight Zone again, Andrew Klavan should be the host. His delivery really resembles Rod Serling's. That's a good thing. And he also writes lucid and direct prose that makes Obama the communicator sound like a stutterer.
Dear whom ever you are,
If you are still confused as to why this video has nothing to do with revenge, it's suggested that you actually listen to what it says. Waterboarding and enlightenment do not belong in the same sentence. Be greater than a terrorist; be greater than yourself.
I've listened to this four times. I'd like to have a transcript.
I occurred to me that the concept of rights depends on believe in a creator. If we all are just the results of blind, mindless evolution, where do our rights come from? If you believe that we come into existence sometime during gestation and disappear into the void at death, and that nothing in nature cares, why have laws at all? They are, after all, just tyranny, someone else telling us what to do.
Your best yet, Mr Klavin.
Listen, when you put 3000 families through torture, a little bit of water in the face is not revenge. Yes, they were horribly misguided people, but I cannot muster up a single snippet of sympathy for them.
These people hate our way of life. They will kill until they are killed or captured. It's not revenge, pal, it's defending liberty. It's preventing these ideological megalomaniacs from doing it again.
Excellent comment. I wish all the people in the world understood what liberty entails. I am from China but I am American now and proud of being American. http://www.kaichenblog.blogspot.com Trying to create communist/socialist heaven on earth as the current Obama administration is trying to do, in the end, will certainly only produce hell on earth, for such attempt ignors the principle of liberty.

This will most likely garner fewer comments than most of Mr. Kavan's pieces due to the fact he said it all. Very, very well.
