Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper" had another jaw-dropping weekend, reaching an impressive $200 million at the domestic box office. Despite the film's colossal success, liberals like former DNC chairman Howard Dean and director Michael Moore just won't let "American Sniper" go.
Over the weekend, Moore invoked Jesus in a slew of incendiary tweets aimed at dishonoring American soldiers and the Iraq war.
One tweet stated "Tomorrow's Sunday School (1 What Would Jesus Do? Oh, I know what he'd do --hide on top of a roof and shoot people in the back!"
He followed that tweet with: Sunday School: (2) But What Would Jesus Do if he could be a sniper & save soldiers lives by shooting 'savages' in the back?"
Fox News' Starnes sounded off on Monday against Moore: "There was a time when Hollywood and Democrats stood in solidarity with our fighting men and women," Starnes said. "Folks like Jimmy Stewart and Bob Hope and John Wayne - American heroes. Those days are long gone and our sweet land of liberty has been soiled by the stinking stench of Michael Moore and Howard Dean and their liberal minions."

"Well I'm no theologian, but I suspect Jesus would tell that God-fearing, red blooded American sniper - Well done thou good and faithful servant dispatching another Godless jihadist to the lake of fire. But then again, I'm no theologian. There was a time when Hollywood..."
What Jesus is really going to do is send this fatso to hell where the “smoke of [his] torment” will rise up forever and ever. Hopefully it’ll be sooner rather than later.
Didn’t any of these baby boomers ever see “Sergeant York”?! They’re all running for the fainting couch over this but Gary Cooper movies were a staple of all our childhoods. What wusses.
I want to see a reality show in which MM is forced to go into a bar filled with SEALS, Rangers, and USAF Special forces.
He has to stand on a table and yell out everything he has said about the armed forces.
Wow I thought he only invoked Jesus when he had a whole pig to himself for a snack.
Here in the Pittsburgh,PA. area I know some folks who went to see “American Sniper” this past Saturday and couldn’t get a ticket. The shows were sold out! The had to wait till the next day to see the movie and they said it was worth the wait.
Manteca Man needs to shut both ends..
The battle of the dueling “theologians”?
It seems like everyone has their version of Jesus...
What would Jesus do? Make another mockumentary, and then down another half-dozen Big Macs.
Jesus, being kind and gentle, will probably delegate someone else to kick his sorry @$$ down to h377. And, I’ll bet there will be no shortage of volunteers for that detail.
something very bad will happen to that fat bastard.
they will blame the tea party.
but, it will be progressives ridding them selves of a useful idiot.
Libs get soooo pissed that these “war mongering, hater” movies always do so well.
Move over Battle of Thermopylae, it seems as if we have the Battle of The Dueling “Theologians”?
LOL.
I disagree with him. For every Bob Hope or Jimmy Stewart there was a Jane Fonda.
For every Michael Moore there’s a Gary Sinese or Clint Eastwood.
That doesn’t mean that Hollywood isn’t a vipers pit of whacked out Proglodytes like Moore, just that it isn’t an absolute.
Atheists need not invoke the name, “Jesus”. I would not ask, “What would Mother Nature do?”
I always consult Moore to better understand the. Teachings of jesus
Enemies and killers need killing to protect my team, my fountry and innocents worldwide.
If they are engaged in combat operations then they can be shot in the head or torso, from the front, side or in the back.
Whatever the target of opportunity and its exigencies demand.
For that matter they can be blown up with a J-Dam, an AC130 Gunship or by a drone flown from the other side of the world.
Heck grenading them seems fair as well.
Better yet, I could fire a programmable munition through the window of their front room and set it to explode two feet in, maximizing the death count.
Maybe even a cannon from an Abrams sitting 4 or 5 miles away would get the job done.
“This ain’t grade school” as I am given to telling people when fighting and I’m not above kicking a guy right in his front teeth. I have and they had it coming.
They threw the first punch and were repeatedly demanded to stay down but, stupidity abounds or maybe it was their adrenaline.
War is worse. Only there is no demand “Get down!” Or “Stay Down!”.
They’ll just regroup and think of other ways to be effective soldiers, lieutenants and generals.
In which case, a whole lotta people die, when it didn’t need to happen because yoh wanted to sweet talk them.
If they are the enemy then the only solution is to kill enough of them to degrade their ability to fight and eventually destroy their ambitions.
Then we can discuss the terms for inhabiting the same planet and getting along...or we’ll be back...
You forgot Marine Force Recon...
