Paul Verhoeven is a foreigner. He should mind what he says. He’s a guest in this country, and I notice that his anti americanism aside, he had no qualms about coming here to make a buck or two.
Paul Verhoeven?
One word: Showgirls.

Is he getting Jesus and Mohammed-pedophile confused or something?
Detroit in the Robocop movie looks better then most cities in the US today.
I’ll bet the citizens of Detroit would beg to have their city look like the one portrayed in the film.
Robocop was more like a Gen. Patton, or a Ronin Samurai.
Who would have know that “ROBOCOP””s Peter Weller is an academic:

He caught the crazy from Geena Davis.

“It was Verhoeven’s contention that America is little else but a violent nation that has no interest in peace, law, and order, or diplomacy but is the quintessentially violent cowboy, self-interested, and mostly a lawless place.”
When you translate his Leftist doublespeak into English he’s just saying that Americans don’t like to be lemmings, refuse to cower in the face of tyranny, and will take action to stop it on their own without feeling like they have to wait for some one else to do it. When there’s a problem America takes care of it. He wants Americans to become just like what the Euro-peons have become - a bunch of limp-wristed, girly men who couldn’t fight their way out of paper bag if required to do so.
Which makes Clarence Boddicker the American Antichrist.
I can’t really figure out what these people believe in and somehow all the troubles in the world are America’s fault. Last I checked America has only been around for a couple hundred years or so while other nations, empires have been around for thousands of years.
The only reason we have problems in our country is this mamby pampy Rodney King naive perspective on the world.
If we actually took care of business, did what was right America would be so far ahead of the pack and that is exactly what I think these globalists are afraid of. A truly free society that doesn’t require control.
‘Robocop character was an “American Jesus” because his method of righting wrongs was to shoot and kill all evil doers. Robocop was judge, jury and executioner all in one and that apparently makes him an “American Jesus.”’
I am more offended for Jesus here than for America!
Is he honestly saying that Jesus would go around killing people? >:-(
Never mind his premise that America is “violent”. Idiots such as he have no conception of “violence”.
