I remember the day when I had to climb under my desk and croutch down with my head between my knees for the nuclear attack drill. Who was that bad guy that was going to bomb my region that had Boing Aircraft, Fort Lewis Army base and McCord Airforce Base? After the drill my sweet Sister Mary Aloysius did not mince words about Soviet Communism. With tears in her eyes she told how the first thing they would do is separate father from mother and brother and sister. She told how they would indoctrinate the children to renounce Christ and shoot the parents who refused the same. She told us that Communism was evil and ruled by Satan and did not want a nation with freedom and a people that believed in God. She rolled down the map of the world and showed how they planned to take over America. I will never forget her discussions about Communism.

These OWS people are ruled by Satan. Communism is alive and well through them. Communism has come to us just like Sister Mary Aloysius showed us on the map.

the creep that invented them is a long hair hippy piece of garbage!

Huh? Jim Henson developed the Muppets, and he died quite a few years ago. I don't recall ever hearing about his politics, but he did build an empire.

If you didn’t hear about his politics, you weren’t listening.

I was going to take my 2 sons and two boys to go see the muppet movie over the break. Now I think I will find a local business and take my dollars eleswhere. Thanks for the post.

We got to fight back with our cash! The abolition of abortion and the destruction of the hollywood empire should be the 2 main goals of the tea party.

I’m a lifelong fan of the Muppet Show (the original TV show from the 1970s) and I’m also a Ron Paul supporter. A common theme on the TV show was that the Muppet studio was under constant threat of being shut down for one reason or another. The show is not communist. On the contrary, it leans very heavily in the libertarian/anarchist direction.

It was in the late 70s that I encountered the asshole.

Save your money, the movie really stinks! Aside from the groan-inducing oil baron cliché, the plot was plodding and the few actual gags fell flat. At the halfway point my three year old son told my husband “Daddy I’m all done with this movie!” Seemed to last an hour too long.

What a shame now, that my kids think the Muppets are boring; they brought my family so much joy in the ‘70s and ‘80s with the original Muppet Show.

Dude did he do something to you? Btw I think it’s hillarious about your definition of a muppet.

“Dude did he do something to you?”

He was just a loong hair creep that asked where the muppet metting was.

I had never heard of a muppet and thought the creep was drunk or high on dope and just responded what’s a muppet, a hairlip puppet.

He got real incensed and said he was the inventer of the muppets and I said well tough shit!

I still don’t know what a muppet is.
