Leftism is a tribe like Cherokee, Navajo and Sioux...???
It’s up to us as Indigenous Peoples and as Americans to question simplified stories glorifying violence and racism and sexism. It’s time to educate ourselves about the violence of this country’s past, and to come together as a people to build a stronger, inclusive and more unified America.
Mateo Romero is an enrolled tribal member at Cochiti Pueblo.
Are they giving degrees in Cliches on the reservation?
Sexy veneer? This isn’t Body Heat....it’s a %^*£?¥ WAR MOVIE you hypersensitive knee jerker!
Governor Palin’s husband and children are all just as “native American” as this goomer and they loved Chris Kyle.
What this joker did not include in his diatribe is that Native Americans are included in the scenes, as broad spectrum ground pounding Marines... who DO respect Native Americans rather profoundly.
Or that in essence Eastwood has created an “anti-war” movie in the sense that.... “you will not waste our manpower on your NWO exploits with a continuous war on terror” Use effective selective power and eliminate the caliphate, or DONT GO. That is the message. That, and that we had better take real good care of our wounded military— with great encompassing compassion. It was that, which got Kyle killed by a traumatized veteran who also killed his best friend (quite odd to have a VA psych recommend taking PTSD soldiers to the rifle range— little too much memories that could not be repressed). And a great great waste of Kyle’s life.
And that was enough to know the rest is a pile of crap.
Leftists get to be bigoted, self-righteous and trendy all at the same time.
I don’t think we’re allowed to question, criticize, or speak jestingly of any utterance of a Native American Person.
We are to sit quietly and listen. Then, when the speaker’s gaze drops from the smoke-hole, we can leave. After depositing a small gift in the bowl.
He is probably P.O’d that Billy Dixon did his famous shot at Adobe Walls and toppled a Kiowa at almost a mile.
One other comment. The hero in this film is a MAN, a man with man’s feelings and stoicism of the West. That is a theme running through Eastwood’s last 4 films, including Gran Torino.
Instead of the gelded, ball-less, she-males that the bitchy politically pushed feminazis want our society to reduce the American male, pushed on the other side by the homo agenda— reduced to eliminate all semblence of the nuclear family with natural roles of a mother and a father. The Comintern at work to divide us as families and as a nation. Great work, libs.
And Eastwood is a genius.
I’d like one of the lunatics on the left to tell me exactly why they hate it.
I have a good idea that it is because it’s shows American pride, American pro military, and shooting bad muslims.
Of course they will never say this and so they have to find other excuses, but there are many of them who just follow like the cult they are.
Just another liberal bandwagon passenger. They get their marching orders, wind ‘em up, and off they go. They said nothing of the liberal movies produced about the wars.
The Palins are all enrolled tribal members as well (except Sarah of course), from Todd through Iraq vet Track, through Trig, and even the grand kids, and they loved the movie, and the man himself.
I feel...tickled.
“Damn evil white male from an open-minded, tolerant and DIEverse liberal” ping.
Funny, when I was growing up the idea of war was to kill the enemy no matter what color they were, or if they were "fuckin' savages"...which they are.
Well, when the world needs saving from the horrors of statism, that's who it usually comes down to. :)
Did they not teach Mateo irony at Dartmouth?
My B.S. detector is going off. This guy didn’t go because he loves Eastwood movies - he went to write a hit piece.
***Americans as a whole are too ignorant of the country’s past colonial violence against Native and African Americans ***
Obviously the author of this hit piece has been hitting the Peyote and gourd juice before he wrote this.
There has NEVER been a war between Anglo whites and the Cochiti people.
