My life is not all-consumed by politics. It's a fantasy movie, and one I've looked forward to since the original trilogy was announced in 1996 or 1997. I'll go, and I'll enjoy it.

Conservatives need to get a thicker skin. Some people do disagree about Vietnam. That's not un-American. Heck, I disagree with Vietnam, as it was fought. War by politicians. We sent Americans over there without the will to do what was necessary to win. God forbid that Iraq turn into a similar quagmire.

PJ O'Rourke wrote mockingly about the "Perpetually Indignant" once; he was referring to the Left.

In many ways the Right is frantically trying to imitate the Left now; there are a heck of a lot of the "Perpetually Indignant" on FR, constantly boycotting stuff, frantically looking for or even inventing ways they can be offended by stuff so they can enjoy complaining about it. Heck, we're even getting our own ranting morons in imitation of Moore and Garafolo.

and that's your opinion...funny to hear people say conservatives over react or need a thicker skin when we fight back...better yet, we're censors when we use that favorite tactic of the left...the boycott.

free speech is a 2-way street, not just reserved for liberals.

"My life is not all-consumed by politics"

actually, mine has...since 9/11, when 3000 of my fellow Americans were massacred.

bump that. Best statement on the situation I've seen on this thread. I'm thinking about going this evening for the late show myself. Haven't had the opportunity to see it yet
