Once again, stumbled on it by checking out John's contributor's link!

Yes, I think the vision has to be exactly that, a vision. We can't try to remake Hollywood or mainstream media, at least not in the way it is set up today. It's a fixed game. You can't go in and play in a fixed game and expect to win with honesty. You need to leave that game, and start another, honest one.

Hollywood is a giant that cannot be convinced or persuaded to be honest, see reason, or accept other views, namely conservative ones.

Here in Asia, history is an important teacher. Here's an example that, I think, relates. China has been invaded many times throughout its history. In every instance, the invaders became Chinese. It's too big to be invaded. The invaders, no matter how powerful or vast were always absorbed into the culture of China.

I see the same thing happening with Hollywood. No matter how much common sense someone makes, when they enter the giant of Hollywood liberalism, they become part of that giant, if they want to get work, that is.

We've got to leave the game and start a new one. The new media, digital technology in filmmaking makes this the very best time to do so. The very best time. We have the vision, the ideas, the stories, and the talent. But we need the financing to start building the infrastructure to get the content out to global eyes, ears and hearts. Quality content.

It's our move, the liberal establishment is not going to lend a hand, that's for sure.

Good luck to us.

I love that statement! In response to some of the posts we are a reactionary group as a whole. The "conservatives" are always reacting to something not pushing an idea or forcing the enemy to react to us. What are we conserving anyway? We're being taxed to death, literally. Our religious freedom is eroding, our military is mocked, the Constitution is barely followed and many times ridiculed and ignored.

The free enterprise is being destroyed. Babies are being destroyed. Marriage is being destroyed and redefined.

What are we conserving? It's time we threw down the gauntlet and tell it like it is!
We are the American Way! If you don't believe in the Constitution in it's original form, that our rights come from our Creator and we're meant to be self sufficient, moral free men than you are an anti-American.

That is about as anti-PC you can get! I no longer use the word "conservative". It means nothing anymore. "But what should we call ourselves?" AMERICANS! PRO AMERICANS! SONS OF LIBERTY! ANY NAME THAT REFLECTS OUR IDEALS!

Sorry, folks but the term "conservative" is dead IMHO. Our culture has been dead for decades. We lost that war in the 60's. Why do you think it was called a "cultural revolution"?

Almost everything "conservative" is a reaction to the anti-American left. Even the so called defenders of the right wimp out in crunch time. Who did Levin, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Savage and Coulter, etc. really push for president?

The flip floppers and lite weights like Romney, Thompson, Huckabee, and even Guliani!
Yet Duncan Hunter, Tancredo and Chuck Baldwin almost never mentioned and at times mocked.
Don't get me started on how Palin was trashed by the GOP and McCain!

Most of those so called leaders of the right ignored hard core "conservatives" in congressional races too.

You all know this to be true. WE need a revolution amongst ourselves! I see it every time a celeb comes out of the closet, so to speak and touts some American ideal and we get all excited! Wow, one of them actually likes us!

Many of us on the "right" act like beggars and defeated. If we truly are on the right side of history and if we truly believe our ideas come from God then why do we act like paupers?

The media will NEVER do the right thing! Our schools will NEVER teach real history!
Until we start kicking ass and taking names. Strength is always respected and revered.
As long as we continue acting like beggars we will lose this until another generation rises up and does our dirty work for us.

One of my favorite Koontz stories is when he was sent out to, I believe, Conan O'Brian, or some other late night show, to promote a movie of one of his books. The story had been completely butchered, with the Hollywood execs needing to make it more PC.
When asked by Conan if people should see the movie, Koontz replied, "Well, if you have the choice of seeing this movie or nailing your hand to the wall, I'd nail my hand to the wall."

Honesty. I love that about him.
