It was made as a reminder of why we fight. The politics of the film is clear. We were asleep to the threat of Islamo Fascism prior to that day. Treating it like a liquor store holdup instead of a world war. This after four prior attacks on the United States.

The film is political. The left simply doesn't like the politics they prefer the rants and twisted view of Michael Moore to the reality of United 93.

But I wonder if there might be something else at work, a frustration that many left-leaning critics rarely face: how to deal with a well-made film that is also deeply conservative in its values. United 93 doesn’t follow the rules of the politically correct playbook: The heroes are ordinary Americans, mostly white, who say prayers and love their families. They are lead by strong, quick-thinking males who understand that it is their duty as men to take violent, physical action against foreign attackers. The villains are religiously motivated Islamic terrorists who unabashedly celebrate news of the World Trade Center’s destruction and cry “In the name of God!” while slitting a flight attendant’s throat. A European-accented passenger who insists on negotiating is tackled when he tries to warn the terrorists of the other passengers’ plan to storm the cabin.

BINGO!

Some on the left (not all of them conspiracy nuts) have come out saying that we don't know for sure what transpired on Flight 93. That how can we know the film is factual?

This is from the same people who will use any scrap of unproven information to reinforce their mantra that Bush is evil.

The film is political.

Yes, but the interesting thing is that it is no more political than an exact representation of flight 93 would be. There is no embellishment. The truth of 93 is so politically damaging to the left, and they detest that they couldn't change the movie to a lie.

" We "

Got a mouse in your pocket? Some of us knew and waited and talked about it amongst ourselves but no one listened because we were all "paranoid" "tin-foil wearing" "spam eating" "cave dwelling" "militia wackos".

There are things afoot now that will effect you on an even more personal level but most people wont listen because those of us talking about these things are "paranoid" "tin-foil wearing" "spam eating" "cave dwelling" "militia wackos".
