Thank you.. good luck with your book

[Crazieman]

Wow, a 226 page "free book"

[Crazieman]

Whoops, meant to add more. I'll definitely give it a read. Didn't want the post to sound demeaning, was not intended. Bit tired

[NYer]

The Left unloaded on him with everything it had. The attempt failed. So far, the failure is in the $300 million range, and it is not yet Easter weekend.

Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list

Wasn't there a Gary North who had a doom and gloom web sight devoted to the Y2K problems that would surely result in utter chaos throughout the world because of programming problems which the year 2000 would cause to manifest the innate problems of dependancy on computers?

[sittnick]

While I agree with the gist of the article, I do believe that one area where conservatives and Christians have been successful is in the home school arena. It may take decades to see what happens when a couple of million kids know from the beginning that the culture is rotten and are instructed to defend against it.

[Northern Yankee]

You're a marvel.

Just started to read some of it. (More later.)

This should stir up some excitement around here.

Blessings to you my friend!

Passion Ping!

One little caveat:
Is this the same Gary North who warned of all sorts of catastrophes at Y2K?

Yeah. Same guy.

He's moved on, taken his lumps. Or so I've heard

[Rocko]

Thanks bump.

Passion Ping!

Gary during the Y2K hysteria was and still is a great shill for Burt Blumert's (The Lew Rockwell web site)

>They mounted a full-scale battle against [?!?] Gibson, beginning almost as soon as he announced his plan to produce the movie

Did they? Or was it
just what Hollywood calls a
public relations

campaign? They get folks
riled up, and some people spend
money on one side,

others spend money
on the other side. Call me
cynical -- jaded --

but to businessmen,
Christians are just another
demographic, and --

judging from the way
so many Christians have thrown
their money into

the business wallets
to see The Passion -- they are
a gullible one.

[Puzzleman]

Why? Why did Hollywood walk away from what instantly became a blockbuster? For the same reason that the studios continue to lose hundreds of millions of dollars producing films that attack religion and morality: its intense hostility to Christianity and the value system it teaches.

I agree with every point this article makes and especially this one. Hollywood isn't trying to make money. The Hollywood liberal elite are willing to have their companies lose large sums in order to further their agenda. Ask the Disney stockholders.

It's not about money. It's about power.

[Libertina]

BUMP Thank you for your generosity!

[UltraKonservativen]

A public relations campaign ?
You've got to be kidding...

All of the "jewish talking heads" and the "Hollywood elite" got together and decided to play along with Mel by predenting to go nuts over the movie so the apparent controversy would get those dumb "gullible" sheeple to spend their $300 M plus.

Let me adjust my Tin foil hat.
