American Sniper

God bless Chris Kyle for everything he did for us, and God dam you, Michael Moore, for all you stand for

Maybe you are one of the lucky ones who has already seen the blockbuster and one of the all-time box-office record holders, American Sniper – Clint Eastwoods’ film adaptation of the life of Christopher Scott “Chris” Kyle, released on December 2014. Kyle, is considered to be the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history, while accumulating 160 confirmed kills, out of 255 probably kills.

As a matter of record, I would also like to commend Eastwoods’ proactive choice of bringing Kyle’s story to the big screen as otherwise his legacy could have been lost in an unending compilation of unsung heroes who passed us by if yet seldom noticed or acknowledged by the rest of us; by all of us who should live forever indebted to these champions of liberty to whom we owe nothing short than our freedom – no ‘ifs’ or ‘buts’ about it.

Don’t forget WWII and Vietnam veteran Carlos Hathcock with
95 confirmed. Also, all their brothers formerly and now serving.

Sounds like a good movie but my wife and I decided we didn’t want to experience the “F”-bombs exploding all around this guy and the audience.

Guess we’ll wait for the edited version on TV.

The leftist’s heroes are the likes of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and their ilk. They are a twisted, messed up bunch of people.

I saw it today and it was a great movie; very intense at times and very apropos. Go see it if you haven’t and prepare for a packed theater. Ours is normally half-empty and today was a packed house.

Cinematography alone, hands down the best war movie since Saving Private Ryan - even better I’d say. The movie took you into the mind and soul of this guy - the good, bad and ugly.

And it doesn’t preach to you. It’s so good, it doesn’t have to.

But in my opinion, what pisses a ‘few’ on the left more than ever (yeah, if you really look around, there aren’t THAT many important people pissed about it), is that between the Sony debacle and nose-diving revenues of Big Hollywood, this (the Pro-American Genre) is the new template for profit-making movies...

... and that’s what driving the commies bat$hit crazy.

just my $0.02

F-bombs are just a reality in military life. Once you leave the service you quickly adapt to the toned-down vocabulary back home (unless you live in da hood).

.Never heard an F bomb

You weren't listening very close or your memory's faulty. There was at least one.

Kyle: "What did you say?"

Little brother: "I said f__k this place!"

The swearing -- and you're right, there's very little considering -- is done organically, and is nothing more than you would expect from a group of high-stress combatants in an ugly, worthless country risking their lives defending people like Michael Moore.

I would not let that stop me from seeing it. But my ears are not especially sensitive anymore.

Hathcock was an immensely accomplished sniper for his courage and resourcefulness and dedication to sniping and for his advancing sniper training, but he was third in kills in Vietnam.

The movie as done over one hundred million in a week.

Why does anyone give a “uck what Michael Moore thinks. It is pretty clear that what he thinks doesn’t really matter.

What? Clint Eastwood isn’t crazy about ‘F’ bombs. I didn’t hear many, if any at all. None from the audience. It’s a safe bet if that’s what you’re worried about.

One's a hero for bashing some guys head against the pavement, the other for strong-armed robbery and assaulting police officers.

What grand heroes the left has.

I just saw ‘American Sniper’.

I hope no one saw me slinking away at the end of the movie, snottering all over myself.

I also snottered for America and her Congress because they are still under the allusion that Islam is a ROP.

Wife and I saw it last night. Excellent, and packed house. Reminded me of seeing “We Were Soldiers” and “The Passion of the Christ”; similar effect. Still processing ...

"...The leftist’s heroes are the likes of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and their ilk..."

Also revered by this rancid pile are pro-ball-playing homosexuals, perverted cross-dressers, filching life-parners, basically anything disgusting and/or amoral is quite a treat.

The actual "good" doers... Sarah Palin, Chris Kyle, the New England Patriots... if you dare to excel and set yourself apart with unprecedented excellence and acheivement, these drooling turnips will hate you instantly and forever.

They'll hear a lie about you (or make one up... either works just as well) and just cling to it like a spastic terrier and keep repeating it until every unthinking toolbag alive just accepts it as fact.

Proof is in the pudding.

Yes, young men in combat use foul language. It’s real. There is so much more to the movie than the language. Go see the movie!!!
