Fox News' film critic, Roger Friedman, was beside himself about the violence in The Passion until Mike Gallagher last night asked him about his rapturous review this past summer of "Kill Bill", the Quentin Tarantino film filled with blood, gore, endless murders, rapes and mindless violence. Friedman responded that this was just "cartoonish" violence that was entertaining and that no one would believe it as opposed to the "graphic, all too real violence" of Ths Passion. Roughly translated, what Friedman really meant is: "I can't stand films that are made by conservatives, which are attended in droves by middle America, and which track the literal truth of the Bible".

You just described every Tarantino flick. It's artistic and enlightened for Pulp Fiction to show a long graphic scene of Travolta shooting up a big shot of heroin, him narrowly saving a girl from a drug overdose by putting a shot of adrenalin into her heart, then accidentally blowing a guy's head off (complete with brain matter in his and Sam Jackson's hair) but a movie depicting a religious scene is just awful.

It is now time for the forces of secularism to be defeated in America. We must band and bond together for we are in a cultural war where loss is not an option. If the secular politicians ever get full control of America, our country is finished. The election coming in November is not just another election, it is a critical path junction where America will decide whether we live or die as a country!
