Hollywood and the Oscars have come a long way.

Remember in 1959 Ben-Hur a film which had a strong Christian component won several Oscars.

In 2005 Brokeback Mountain, a film which had a strong homosexual component won several Oscars.

From Ben-Hur To Brokeback Mountain would be an excellent name for a book on the decline of American morality.

Protesting has become a kind of therapy for the let. They think they are accomplishing something by making noise together and expressing solidarity for a a bankrupt, divisive ideology, one that does not lead us to a more perfect union..

They are like dinosaurs giving off their last primal screams before entering the dust bin of history.

They have to discuss this? I took it for granted that all awards shows for the next eight years would feature mostly anti-Trump tirades with very little actual entertainment.

His “perception of reality needs a glove and a dog waste bag before anyone in their right mind would touch it.

“given the presidential actions of the last week alone, we suddenly seem to be living in an America where every dimension of our political process, our freedom, our very perception of reality is up for grabs.”


Actually quite perceptive of the author. The “Progressives” have created many false perceptions of reality over the last 50 years. They have been able to do so because we have had immense wealth, and the media would not allow reality to interfere with the narratives they wished to create.

Hence, we have a situation where mentally ill men who have the delusion that they are women, are treated as if their delusion is real!

There are many other false perceptions in the “Progressive view of reality”.

So the author is correct. Reality is slapping him upside the head, and the Establishment media is unable to prevent the impact.

Our Very Perception of Reality is Up For Grabs

Their perception of reality was never up for grabs. It was seriously flawed, and was never the national reality.

They were living in la la land.

It was the national reality that was up for grabs, and we said, "No way!" Thanks but you've got to be kidding!

That smell is what is seeping out of Lenin's tomb.

“ONE job; to entertain us”

They dwell in the hour of entertaining themselves and their ilk.

Giving audience to their malevolence only encourages foul behavior. Boycott these scum and let them stew in the juices of the debt they have incurred with their excess.

I haven’t watched this crap in years. I would say that is an ultimate boycott.

“His “perception of reality needs a glove and a dog waste bag before anyone in their right mind would touch it.”

This one takes first prize. Concise and completely correct.

That’s what I’m sayin’! Not as eloquently, but still, LOL! :)

What Meryl Streep was suggesting [in her anti-Trump speech at the Golden Globes] is that Trump World isn’t just about a bunch of ideas she disagrees with; it’s about the destruction of empathy…It’s a declaration of hate.

Her remarks were an Oscar campaign speech and she will probably win, ingratiating herself with simps like this guy.

Of course I won't be watching.......

WE need to protest why there are not more black winners... Asians winners...transgendered winners ....Muslim winners...etc....Make whites feel bad for winning..

use Alinsky rule #4 against them.....“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules....

make them eat their own
