Frank Miller : nobody seems talk about who we’re up against, and the sixth century barbarism
NPR ^ | 03 28 2007 | drzz

NPR: […] Frank, what’s the state of the union?

FM: Well, I don’t really find myself worrying about the state of the union as I do the state of the home-front. It seems to me quite obvious that our country and the entire Western World is up against an existential foe that knows exactly what it wants … and we’re behaving like a collapsing empire. Mighty cultures are almost never conquered, they crumble from within. And frankly, I think that a lot of Americans are acting like spoiled brats because of everything that isn’t working out perfectly every time.

NPR: Um, and when you say we don’t know what we want, what’s the cause of that do you think?

FM: Well, I think part of that is how we’re educated. We’re constantly told all cultures are equal, and every belief system is as good as the next. And generally that America was to be known for its flaws rather than its virtues. When you think about what Americans accomplished, building these amazing cities, and all the good its done in the world, it’s kind of disheartening to hear so much hatred of America, not just from abroad, but internally.

One of my most treasured possessions is my Dark Knight limited series. Miller's art just leaves me speechless.

Great interview. Its shocking to hear someone from the arts speak in this way. He is dead on correct.

Exactly. I'm shocked too...NPR is such a socialist suckup, I can't believe they'd allow this pro-American opinion on.

Betcha somebody there gets fired.

The United States is by all standards the most successful nation in the history of mankind...

Politically, morally, scientifically, militarily and culturally.

It is the first democracy in the history of mankind too.

Here is the link at NPR to the show:

For just the Frank Miller segment go to Little Green Footballs:

There was actually a thread already on this back in January after the show originally aired.
