L.A. Times: ‘Brave’ James Cameron Takes on Right-Wing Critics
by John NolteOver the past 15 years or so our side has done a truly fantastic job outing the mainstream media as the corrupt leftist propagandists they are. As a business model they’re nearly bankrupt and the stigma of dishonesty they’ve worked so hard to earn in their kamikaze missions for the Left has pretty much ended their national influence.
As bad as the MSM is though, the entertainment media is much, much worse. Just the other day someone asked me where they could find a left-wing film site. Without a hint of irony, I replied, “Any film site that’s not Big Hollywood.” If someone would simply enforce California’s laws against incest we could easily put this disgusting pile of unholy inbred love out of business. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen. And maybe that’s good thing. Without them, where would we get our chuckles?
Today’s hilarity arrives courtesy of this L.A. Times Big Picture blog sporting the following headline and intro:
Jim Cameron eager to mix it up with ‘Avatar’s’ right-wing critics
You can always tell that the Academy has sent out its final Oscar ballots by the sudden reappearance of gaudy full-page Oscar ads in the trades, my paper and the New York Times. It also means that most nominees, fearful of making a horrible gaffe, are especially careful not to say anything that could possibly be viewed as controversial in their interviews with the showbiz press.
Except, of course, for Jim Cameron.
He’s on the cover of this week’s The Envelope and he’s clearly eager to mix it up with the multitudes of conservatives who’ve been trashing “Avatar,” claiming that it’s dumb, sanctimonious, anti-military, nuttily pro-environment[.] … Cameron isn’t the sort of guy to take those brickbats lying down, even if means alienating a few Oscar voters, either because they agree with the conservative take on the film or prefer to vote for films that are free of any political leanings.
Cameron’s being given all this glowing credit for being ballsy enough to risk alienating a “few” Oscar voters…
In the meantime, how many Leftie Oscar voters is Cameron hoping to impress by “mixing it up” with we right-wingers?
How about the other 5800, give or take.
When it comes to winning Oscars and impressing the Hollywood Frat Crowd, ripping into conservatives isn’t brave, it’s smart. Real smart. As a matter of fact, we should all bow down to the genius of James Cameron on this one. The director sure knows how to play the entertainment media. First, in the heat of the Oscar race he lands a high-profile puff piece courtesy of a sycophantic, unchallenging reporter … then he receives raves for the guts it took to stick his head into the stuffed lion’s mouth.
Journalistic incest. There’s no other way to describe it.
In other news, the L.A. Times claims there are a “few” Oscar voters who might not like the politics of “Avatar.”
Really? A few? That many? Roger Simon and Lionel Chetwynd are the only two I know of and “two” equals “a couple,” not a few.
Don’t make me saddle up Retracto.

Hollywood is just plays to their paying audience – foreign European/Arab audiences, hence the repetitive anti-America drum beat. Still ironic in a anti-America/military movie, the hero is still a caucasion who has to lead the natives and teach them modern warfare strategy. Couldn't have a movie/plot where the 3rd worlders come to the knowledge all on there own Cameron. Typical liberal hypocrisy.
Brave Cameron is willing to take on right wing critics as long as he can do so from the safety of the leftist press where the inbred media will provide cover fire. Let him step out in the open and engage in an honest debate. Cameron, far from being a cutting edge story teller, is simply a hack propagandist. The artist is gone.
After putting it off for some time, I finally went to see Avatar in 3D last week. Aside from stifling guffaws at the stilted dialogue and the tiresome environmental message delivered by Cameron's trusty sledgehammer, I actually enjoyed the film.
It's as visually stunning as advertised, especially in 3D. And if you're a veteran of putting the politics of a movie aside — which is mandatory for all conservatives who want to go to the movies — you might not be disappointed.
"Just the other day someone asked me where they could find a left-wing film site. Without a hint of irony, I replied, “Any film site that’s not Big Hollywood.”"
I'll go out on a limb and politely disagree with this. I know you've quoted from Cinematical and I'm pretty sure Harry over at Aint It Cool leans to the left but, in my experience, many film websites are apolitical and just because they don't call out Cameron doesn't make them left-wing. I get much of my movie news fro JoBlo.com and they have no political axe to grind either way.
In the United States, making politically-tinged movies that piss people off is never, ever brave. The consequences for doing so are what? A little negative buzz on one side, a little positive buzz on the other, and you still get your money and your mansion.
But it's all part of the liberal-left mythology – that they're a small, vocal minority of Good Guys bravely speaking truth to power. Like the right has any power int this country that the left doesn't at least share equally. It's all a propaganda show, making themselves victims sacrificing…something or other…for other victims. Rubbish. James Cameron's wild popularity, wealth, and continued existence as a director proves it's rubbish.
I'm sticking with my original assessment of Avatar. It was a visually stunning movie with a lame story, sub-par acting (c'mon Sigourney Weaver, you're better than that) that may or may not be the result of a terrible script. Cameron ripped off a bunch of movies and wrapped it up in a shiny package. 15 years to write my arse….
I give this film no other importance than a night out at the movies.
We should really stop talking about it, it's getting old….
May I take a wild stab and guess that if a film leaned right, they'd call it out.
Harry is an unreadable jackass. I'd be hard pressed to believe that he proofreads his posts considering how unreadable his stuff is.
Well, that a horse of a different color….
Here I thought Cameron was a cowardly leftist propagandist squish, yet now I find he has balls the size of grapefruits.
Did he say he was willing to actually go one-on-one with a Marine, behind the quonset hut – like John Wayne and Forrest Tucker in "Sands of Iwo Jima" ?
I'll be honored to hold his ascot…
If Cameron wants to mix it up, he should post on this site.
Yeah, I'd put a nickel in his pocket by seeing this liberal epic…
Ain't gonna happen, you liberal freaks.
Standing up to conservative critics in Hollywood is about as courageous as standing up to dissenters from Islam in Mecca or to the anti-gambling lobby in Las Vegas.
This might just be my naivete talking
but I'd like to think they wouldn't care as long as the film was good. This doesn't apply to every film website in existence (and there are a lot) but just for the few that I visit.
I finally saw it last night (on someone else's dime). I agree – the effects were very impressive. But as I watched it, I predicted at least eight plot points well in advance, long before they happened. Weaver was okay, but then the last thing I saw her in was (I think) Ghostbusters.
But yeah – great immersive effects, weak story.
You know, someone in Congress really needs to do the country a favor and form a committee to investigate Hollywood. I don't particularly care what the goal of the investigation is: investigate them for having too much sex, too much violence, too much stupidity, too many over-paid actors, or too many lame romantic comedies set in New York. But go after them for something, threaten boycotts and blacklists, and let the artists be "brave" in standing up to congress. If they are going to insist on "standing up to the New McCarthyism(tm)," let's at least give them a McCarthyism to stand up to.
Hollywood seems to need an enemy, far more than the U.S. Military does. Hollywood needs to prove that they are "artists" and their views matter and the Man is trying keep them quiet. Lacking a McCarthy or a Hays Code or even a Tipper Gore, they have to say how brave they are by standing up to one website and a handful of conservative critics who have the audacity to give them less than glowing reviews.
No wonder there is such a defecit of courage in this country if this is what passes for it.
Certainly Cam would NEVER sit for a one-on-one with John Nolte…but I would enjoy seeing him on Red Eye, can I at least have that fantasy…a special Robot Theater exclusive?
My experience exactly but I did laugh out loud at the "shock and awe" line since it was so ridiculously out of context and such an obvious hit.
Thomas Carlyle is said to have once been dining with a businessman who tired of Carlyle’s loquacity and turned to him with the reproach, “Ideas, Mr. Carlyle, ideas, nothing but ideas!” Carlyle replied, “There was once a man called Rousseau who wrote a book containing nothing but ideas. The second edition was bound in the skins of those who laughed at the first.”"
So, Cameron makes a CGI loaded movie that expresses "ideas" and while Cameron doesn't have the brainpower to ever be a Rousseau, his ideas (or parroting of others' ideas) will have consequences.
Ignore them at your own peril.
Right on!!! I have a few things to ask him.
Hey John, what do you think the odds would be that Cameron would make TRUE LIES if somebody handed him that script today? Imagine, Arab bad guys – a tough CIA – a strong military…
other voters BESIDES the estimable Messrs Simon and Chetwynd:
Kurt Russell, Sly Stallone, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis, Tom Selleck, Drew Carey…
any others come to mind?
I challenge James Cameron to make a movie about his over-inflated ego, but we'd have to wait another 20 years for the special effects to be that descriptive.
I kind of doubt tv stalwarts Selleck & Carey are in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences…
Isn't this the same newspaper which claimed the Republican party was dead?
Doesn't that mean Cameron taking on a party which was declared dead isn't brave?
Or can you have it both ways when you have no integrity?
Hey Grofe, nobody needed to "hand" Cameron the "True Lies" script. He wrote it himself.
Off topic: JN, I sincerely hope the portrait of a jawless Roger Ebert in the current issue of Esquire haunts your nightmares. You've earned it.
Avatar is in fact dumb, sanctimonious, anti-military and nuttily pro-environment. Sorry, Jim but them's the facts. Nonetheless, you are a brave fellow to stake out such a bold position. It's akin to the heroism of those with the fortitude to diss Sarah Palin despite the pervasive right wing environment that exists today where so few have had the nerve to speak out and risk the consequences…not!
Robert Duvall.
Jon Voight.
Angelina Jolie ? (mixed signals)
I'd love to see you (John Nolte) or one of our other great conservative film minds (Simon etc.) sit down with Cameron for an interview/conversation.
I have two reasons for not seeing. First and foremost, those type of CG special effects make me nauseous.
Secondly, I've seen enough bad reviews all over the place. I've had my share of dumbed down movie plots running through the Disney catalog raising my child.
She's 16 and we're both happy with more adult fare (and by adult, I mean mature story lines so get your mind out of the gutter).
Were not liberals. We don't patronize the infirm. Just because Ebert is going through his awful battle with cancer, he still is to be given the respect of being responded to like anyone else. Ebert lives his life with strength so why should Nolte lay off him. Now if you're thinking that Eberts tweets have made us see the error of our ways so he haunts us…you're deluded.
Good points. It is funny how those on the left who claim the worst discrimination are usually the richest.
"Entertainment News" is an oxymoron. It doesn't exist. Long ago co-opted by the industry and turned into a propaganda arm.
About the time the "land" fell off the sign, actually.
Now that would be good.
I am continuously amazed, humbled and inspired by the COURAGE of film makers. Thank you G-d for blessing me and mine for living in this truly heroic age! I can only imagine the envy my descendants will have when they learn about the valiant knight errants of Hollywood that galloped to and fro during my relatively meager time on this earth. Still, I am grateful. Thank you James Cameron, thank you.
It would definitely need some rewrite.
How about this: Arnold is a secret operative for the earth liberation front, the bad guys are a corporation trying to build a new nuke power plant, and they're purposely using sub standard construction material and practices because they've just moved their corp. head quarters to Abu Dabi?
Isn't that what he just did?
My complaints about Avatar have nothing to do with "right" or "left". The guy claims he spent 15 years on the plot…and it sucked. Plain and simple. Within the first five minutes of the movie, you knew the entire plot line! Were any of you surprised when the evil corporation attacked the N'avi? From a storytelling perspective, it sucked. Then there are the gaping plot holes. You're telling me that we have the technology to cross light years of space and to project our consciousness into another body, but we can't slant drill under a damn tree? Really? And don't get me started on the characters. OK, I'll start on the characters. Can you imagine the conversations with the actors?
Ribisi – "What's my motivation?" Cameron – "You're a corporate executive, duh! You want to make money and you don't care about people. Just like corporate executives. Duh!" Lang – "So…I just want to kill stuff?" Cameron: "Uh…hellllooo. You're in the military. You like killing stuff, God, can't you guys figure this stuff out?"
I was too offended by the plot to think much about the political implications of anything.
And by the way, everything else about the movie was pretty cool. Visually, it was pretty amazing! The actors all gave great performances. But the damn plot just…sucked!

I went and saw Book of Eli this weekend. Talk about a good movie. Denzel Washington is badass in that movie, and no cheap shots at Conservatives and no anti-Christian propaganda (to be fair, it is heavily pro-Christian, but gory at points) If yo haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.
The terrorists would become Brussels-based arms dealers and GI JOE would sue for plagiarism.
I'm waiting for Pelosi to play victim or John Heinz-Kerry. Talk about too sad to be funny.

HAH! No way in hell he could grow a pair big enough to post on this site. He would get run through the ringer and go home crying to his mama.
There's more to all this political hubbub than taxes. As Big Hollywood claims to want to reclaim the culture, there's much more to what constitutes that than the size of our government or our per capita bank accounts. Films like KICK-A** and other ComiCon fodder are lauded by such left-leaning sites and they are often lurid and putrid, like the little girl hero using the F-word with her dad or calling criminals "c*nts" before massacring them en masse. If that's not evidence of a left-leaning mind — for making it or recommending it — I don't know what is.
If these kinds of films end up being recommended here, then Big Hollywood is just as left of center as any other online entertainment blog.
As it stands Cameron knows his Hollywood . The AMPAS members think that ,"speaking out" against the military is really courageous ,so Cameron is showing a lot of profile and not much courage. Anyone who buys into that mind set needs to get out more. That's right Hollywood come out of those eco-correct plush caves of yours and join the real world. No entourages please.
A Mobius strip of mindlessness.
When an entity blatantly patronizes itself, isn't that the very definition of delusional behavior?
Ebert was acting like a jerk long before he got cancer.
Why is Ebert's cancer relevant? He was acting like a jerk long before he got sick.
Hollywood is all about ideological masturbation.
"The movie is designed to work as a straightforward adventure and a romance, and if that's all you want from a movie, that's fine," Cameron says. "But the message isn't going over people's heads. That kind of talk trivializes the movie in the same way 'Titanic' was trivialized by saying it was a movie for 14-year-old girls.
But Mr. Cameron, both movies *were* trivial. One was for 14-year-old girls, and the other one is for 14-year-old (mentally) adults. I plan on spending the same amount of money on Avatar as I did on Titanic. $0.
It's my fault. I forgot he had been ill and lost much of his lower jaw and therefore accidentally showed him the respect of treating him like I would anyone else I took issue with — you know, treating him like a man.
Angelina's father Jon Voight.
When you say "knight errants" what immediately comes to my mind is our warriors in Afghanistan and Haiti. I am inspired by their courage and thank them for blessing me with their heroism. Thank you warriors.
I can't put my finger on it (because it's not there) but whatever Obama is missing that makes him such a pathetic leader precludes you from treating him like a man also.
I agree with you! I thought the visual effects were over-hyped, however, and made me slightly ill. My husband who is, God love him, very easily manipulated by marketing, even described it as "Pocahontas with Blue Cat People."
I recall that when I was a kid and we'd watch the Oscars, all those Hollywood stars would brag about how the film industry was responsible for creating a positive image of the USA throughout the world.
Now that Hollywood has horribly depicted America as an evil place, resulting in hatred of us, why doesn't Hollywood admit that they are in part responsible for that negativity?
EdSki: So the fact that Cameron wrote the screenplay based on a previously made thriller means…he didn't write the screenplay? If you say so…
@ John Nolte: Yeah, you treated him "like a man." Fantasized about him attending a Tea Party and signing autographs. In that condition. And the fairy tale of how he'd be welcomed with open arms. Sick. It's not about "respect" for you and it never has been. It's about resentment, paranoia, and score-settling. Well, you're welcome to it.
Argh, I'm ashamed to say that I did go see Avatar, even paid the $11 3-D matinee price (the most I have ever spent on a movie in my life) and I liked it despite its smash you over the head left-wing propaganda. With this leftist puke now firing back I wish I could go back in time and not go pay to have seen his movie.
After seeing the movie I warned my brother, who had not seen the movie yet, about the anti-military, anti-capitalism/corporation, anti-American and pro-nativism and pro-nature worshiping the movie wallowed in which kept him and his family from going to see it. There are websites I usually go to that show movies, new and old, online for free. These websites obviously use illegal bootlegged versions, but it allows me to watch movies I think I might like without giving these hate America leftist my money. That is where I should have watched Avatar, but I felt is was one of those blockbuster movies that I would go see even though the commercials themselves already hinted at the propaganda I would be subjected to. I would like to apologize to my fellow conservatives for putting money in this progressives pockets, I will try to do better in the future.
Basically if you look at the plot of the movie "Dances With Wolves" you have the plot of Avatar minus the corporate influence. Here are Avatar and Dances With Wolves similarities:
1) Military moves into native people's land uninvited raping the land and killing the animals.
2) White military guy falls in love with native girl.
3) Strong native warrior hates white military guy even though his Chief allows his presence in their tribe.
4) White military guy is won over by the ways of the nature loving natives and realizes his side are the bad guys.
5) White military guy helps fight against his own people because it is the right thing to do.
6) White military guy not only wins the girl, but the respect of the native people including the strong native warrior who initially hated him.
7) The evil white military is defeated by the clearly inferior and technologically challenged natives and all is right in the world of hate America leftist.
And it only took Cameron 15 years to copy Dances With Wolves with the only changes being the addition of the corporate masters directing the evil military and painting the natives blue with kitty cat appendages.
Why do I get the feeling that if Cameron didn't address critics hed be called a wuss? At least the man admits hes pro environment in this film.
Personally I dont think you should tear down left leaning media just for being left, after all even that is a consumer choice, but rather, why haven't there been more right wing works of art on par with cameron's work? You can say that the problem is "big hollywood" but big hollywood is doing it because they make a profit. spend more time promoting conservative films and and they'll make more money, then hollywood will be a bit more balanced.
Bring it on Avatar boy ….
Ooh. Yeah. Should have just typed "sequel". Wouldn't watch it either.
It's his ego that's king of the world.
Again. The word "America" wasn't used anywhere in the film.
Of course, it's sort of amusing to see people kvetching that the film was "anti-American" while complaining about "pro-nativism" at the same time.
Look at it like this. Ultimately the movie is about a people (or in this case, blue people) who choose to defend THEIR land and THEIR way of life from outside invaders there to take something that wasn't theirs. Self-determination used to be a conservative value once upon a time, no?
Wow. So if not for our movies, the world would luv us?
Arab audiences? You do realize that American films are heavily censored in Arab countries, if released at all there.
I know what you mean. Usually it's conservatives who take their ire a step further by doing things like burning books or destroying CD's of musicians they politically disapprove of or threatening boycotts if video stores stock a certain Scorcese movie about Jesus.
Sarcasm aside. You're never going to live in a society where everyone has the exact same point of view on everything. Getting this cheesed off because someone prominent doesn't think the same as you is a waste of energy.
Is that the same reason research opposing AGQ doesn't get published in "peer" reviewed journals?
AGW
Afreakingmen, Glenn.
John Nolte was NOT treating Mr. Ebert "like a man". John Nolte and his merry pranksters devoted a half dozen posts on this blog viciously denouncing him. They can spin it all they want, but if it came down to a debate about real strength, I'd take Ebert any day over the likes of Mr. Nolte.
I will not put money into Cameron's pocket by seeing "Avatar" in the theater. I will only view it on a pirated copy from somewhere other than China.
Yeah, but ultimately the point of show business is "business". Cameron can give you two billion reasons why he succeeded here.
they are SAG members with full voting privileges…
I suggest you go to Glenn's website. He correctly points out that if Mr. Ebert had said something that John Nolte agreed with politically, that Nolte would be high fiving him (paraphrasing).
How exactly do you figure that Mr. Ebert "hasn't given sympathy to anyone else"? Do you know the man privately? Do you know anything about him other than his movie reviews and this website's reaction to two or three tweets?
Clearly, you don't take criticism well, because if you actually READ his website, you wouldn't see the writings of a man "being as mean and vicious as he possibly can be".
Nice use of the phrase "clever and condescending". Nothing is more predictable than website conservatives playing the persecuted martyr while simultaneously asserting their unearned superiority.
If they're members of the Academy, I stand corrected, but being in SAG doesn't automatically let you vote for the Oscars, which is what the piece was referring to most. You have to be invited to join the Academy and then you get to be an Oscar voter.
You're using bad logic. We're talking about a movie not a peered review journal. To say that the two equate is painting in very broad strokes.
dances with wolves in space.
what the hell does Ebert have to do with james cameron avatar and this article? Isn't it at all possible you let your disposition against one piece/situation color in an article on a different topic?
granted but Id say that he succeeded because he had great visuals and good actors. Not because of story and not because of political undercurrent. And sometimes this is a very reliable formula. I mean have you really read the dialog to star wars? You just cant say that swill out loud.
I think the first wide scale slam was on southpark… check out

The Hollywood elitists are nothing more than worthless, self-important, anti-American egotists. They spew their venom to the world while praising themselves and giving each other endless awards so they won't feel guilty for participating in their deviant lifestyles. They preach "tolerance" but they are not satisfied with tolerance, They want full acceptance of their sick lifestyles and mental illnesses. In reality, they act the part of heroes while they surrounding themselves with adoring, weak minded worshipers who will never tell them the truth.

Does anyone remember when all of hollywood fawned over Alec Baldwin for "standing up to Bush"? They called him brave, too. Seems like the zombe-woods have a very narrow concept of what brave means.
What do you expect from people who think sporting a ribbon or a bumper sticker equals actually getting involved in an issue.
Worst. Script. Ever. And the character development. Pssssshhh. Never mind politics, this is the start of the fiasco.
James Cameron is King of the World, if that world is a Dung Heap.
Oh, give me a break. John Nolte has not even come close to approaching the vitriol that Roger "Totally Overrated" Ebert does in his daily twittering. If you're going to hold yourself out as some clever and condescending commentator, then you better be able to take the heat coming back at you. I never liked Ebert and I dislike him even more now. And I never considered him to be a "man" either. He doesn't get a sympathy pass from me because he hasn't ever given it to anyone else. He came out of his surgery as if he promised someone in the afterlife that he would spend the rest of his days being as mean and vicious as he possibly could be. The hell with him.
Mr. Nolte your jealosy is transparent!
Cameron earned his right to take on right wing critics by making a movie most weren't willing to boycott. (I'm not one of them. I have not seen "Avatar" and won't. I can hear my country and my values and politics trashed by reading my local newspaper's editorial page, watching any of the major channels and CNN, read Time or Newsweek at the library. Don't need to pay for it.) Those who saw "Avatar" and gave Cameron some of their hard earned cash just have to suck it up. They're paying him to do this.
The world would have a more accurate picture of the USA if not for the highly biased and sensationalistic approach employed by Hollywood leftists who CLEARLY have an agenda to promote.
Sarcasm….it makes life worth living.
Cameron is like an old douche bag – useless. Like breasts on a boar.
Gotta love how the left still pretends to be rebellious, edgy and going against the mainstream grain. As if it took courage to sabotage McCain's picture shoot during the '08 election and edit his photos with blood dripping from his fangs. The left has become "the man". They're the system. They're the ones who now control every aspect of our popular culture with an iron fist. They dominate the education system. They dominate the entertainment industry. They dominae the media. The new rebels are the conservatives. It takes balls to say you're a conservative at college. It takes balls to say you're opposed to affirmative action or you don't believe in global warming. It takes balls to say you support Israel or the iraq War. This pathetic attempt by aging hippies to keep the 1960s alive is just sad. Your time has passed. You've held the reigns of power in our soceity for decades now and we don't like the results. Our economy is becoming uncompetitive, our spending is unsustainable, our personal liberties have been steadily chipped away and our social problems are becoming more and more obvious.
Agreed. Titanic was kind of lovably dopey but this…!! Oy!
He stole the story of Dancesi with Wolves and then dumbed it down even further. Poor Zoe Zaldana, who had to mouth lines like "He weeeel try to keeeeel you" (talking about the big bird/plane thing) in the worse Hispano/alien dialect ever. I laughed out loud.
"dumb, sanctimonious, anti-military, nuttily pro-environment[.]" Amen, and I'm in mourning for those three hours of my life I will never get back.
Ebert has been criticized strongly (and correctly, in my opinion) the way that you and Glenn are criticizing Nolte. Why is one okay and not the other?
Avatar is appealing if you are a LARP'er. Other than that nothing to see here folks and if Cameron thinks screaming about it changes it, he should think again.
Forget the drilling rig — interplanetary travel, but the lead is still suffering from a damaged spine AND he's tooling around in a Vietnam-era wheelchair? The fatcats won't pay for his healthcare, but they will cart him around space? I can't wait until these Boomer d-bags retire.
You don't have to be right wing/conservative to be offended by this movie.
I STUMBLED onto this site & when I started to read this vile, disgusting attack called an article I thought it was a joke. MY GOD (CAN I USE HIM LIKE YOU RADICALS do?) I am blown away. All media stinks and ALL CORPORATE MEDIA is more like The Enquirer, of course you won't admit it and if you do you'll have thousands of talking points when it comes to the worst of the worst which of course isn't really news, it's the biggest propaganda machine in the world called FOX NEWS. I am in no way defending any media but your RADICAL views are insane. I would like to see you Un-American frauds get put out on the battle field or something so maybe you'd learn the real value of thought, words, and free speech.
Your daily vile attacks on people who "REALLY CARE" about America is disgusting, you birthers & tea baggers and Palin supporters are a joke. I have seen clips of you frauds attempting to speak of what you believe in and it's amazing to see how clueless you are. beyond your Fox News talking points you have no real thought none of you even know what Palin stands for. WE, the smart ones clearly see she is in it for the money. You radical right wing loons are a CULT, that is a fact!
AVATAR is a MOVIE about a race who have love for their land and GREEDY people destroy them for their resources, kind of like your GOD George Bush who opened the door to war for his oil buddies as well as the war machine and Blackwater, the Christian murders who used tax dollars to pay for prostitutes. WE DON'T HEAR ANY ANGER ON THAT FROM YOU RADICALS! NO, instead you whine about a damn' movie. You are beyond a joke
well said.
So I guess those Marines were not American Marines and those evil English speaking corporate people who felt their quarterly statement was more important than the native people's lives were not Americans huh? Yes it was anti-American, although leftist may not consider the companies who provide us with jobs and the military that protects us are "Real" Americans so maybe you just don't see portraying the US military and American corporations as bad guys as anti-American.
Like everyone else who saw the movie I was routing for the native blue people because they were defending what was theirs, the point is that hate America leftist James Cameron had to make the bad guys the people the left hates most, our military and corporate America. They only "Bad Guy" he left out were those hateful Christians, but maybe he can fit them into the sequel.
Self-determination/self reliance is still and will always be conservative value, people on your side should try it rather than trying to take what we have earned for a change.
