Hollywood Hates America

by: Brittany Fortier, August 11, 2009

Conservatives are a rarity in Hollywood, but director and producer Jack Marino is proud to be giving them a voice in the industry. Marino’s feature film Forgotten Heroes salutes the veterans of the Vietnam War and shows how the involvement of the Soviet Union impacted the conflict. Set in the jungles of Vietnam and Cambodia, the film tells the story of a group of “Kelly’s Heroes” who risk their lives to rescue a Russian general who has chosen to defect to America.

Marino said that the idea for Forgotten Heroes came out of his desire to show American soldiers in a positive light. “I thought the way that [Vietnam veterans] were treated [by the anti-war movement] was despicable,” he told this correspondent on June 28, 2009. “The entire [Hollywood] machinery … just attacked anything about the veterans in film after film … They took it out on the guys who really were completely innocent of anything.”

Another inspiration for Marino was his previous experience working with Vietnam veterans and being able to hear their personal stories. “They [Vietnam veterans] came back from the war, they always said it was the highlight of their life … I never knew any Vietnam Vet who was bitter,” he said....

More to the point, Hollyweird loathes Republicans, conservatives, and traditional values.

And it keeps getting worse with their truly mindless and pathetic reality shows and endless sequels of existing movies. There is very little true entertainment, originality, or creativity anymore. And most of the celebutards are so stupid, depraved, and politically correct, I have no idea why the paparazzi expend so much energy going after them.

Movies are made for the express purpose of promoting an agenda and convincing viewers of a particular point of view. Propaganda is cleverly disguised as entertainment. This way the viewer sets aside his critical thinking so as to enjoy the plot.

Most hollyweird movie makers are America-hating leftists whose intention is to trash traditional values.

So, Brittany, did they have to stop the presses for this breaking world exclusive, or did you figure it out on your own??

My wife and I stopped going to movies a LONG time ago and don't watch much TV, either. About all we do watch is older videos and Cops.

The interesting thing about the papparazzis is that they are concentrating on photographing the so-called ‘glamor’ queens exiting their autos panty-less.
