Just a quick link’n'paste now, possible commentary when I have a moment.
John Nolte:
“Independence Day” is one of the most profitable films in history — and after the original “Poseidon Adventure,” one of the greatest bad films ever — but there was no sure-fire, money-making blockbuster sequel because President Bush — The Abraham Lincoln of the Middle East — won the presidency:
In Independence Day, it was about a king who leads his country into a fight against an outside invader. I didn’t want to make that movie during the Bush years. It was not thought that George W. Bush would have made a great king. Now with Obama, it’s another story.
That’s straight from the director, the ball-less Roland Emmerich.
Sure, Hollywood is packed with the worst kind of greedy people who demand higher taxes as they shelter millions — who intend to hang on to their platinum health-care plans as they push rationed care – who demand Big Business pay their “fair share” as they beg for tax incentives… Sure, Leftist Hollywood wants to make money, bucketloads if possible, but…
….not at the expense of The Leftist Cause.

First off: how is Dubya the Abraham Lincoln of the Middle East? He didn’t free anybody. Sure, thanks to his lies, Saddam is now dirt-surfing, but Iraq is in a state of loosely governed anarchy, and, most importantly in terms of the rationale for invasion, Al Qaeda is now more active and powerful in Iraq than it has been for years and years. (I will give you a citation if you actually ask me for one in this comment thread.)
You seem to do an awful lot of linking/pasting (sometimes with a little bit of concordant thought added in), but you never seem to form your own opinions. You just pick up on other people saying, in essence, “liberals are bad people who want the government to take our guns and our freedom and our freedom to have guns and our money and they hate America and the government can’t do anything about what I say or do”, link to it, say, in essence, “I agree! Those federal pigs!”, and leave it at that. Small wonder I’m your only reader (as far as I know).
Get some talent, you hack.
