But for Donohue, charging Hollywood with being anti-American was by no means specific enough: "Who really cares what Hollywood thinks?" The answer to that question is, roughly — everybody. It is because people care that this question was being raised on TV. “Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. It’s not a secret, okay? And I’m not afraid to say it. [Donohue is not afraid to say anything.] That's why they hate this movie. It's about Jesus Christ, and it's about truth." What Hollywood likes is "anal sex. They like to see the public square without nativity scenes. I like families. I like children. They like abortions."

I don't think Hollywood is anti-American, but we all knew that the Passion wasn't going to win an Oscar... well, I KNEW. It's simple, really. The Passion goes against everything Hollywood stands for – liberalism, corruption, ungodliness, and selfishness. The Hollywood elite whose goal is to eradicate traditional values, and to devalue all that is wholesome, mainly family and religion, hates the Passion. The Hollywood moguls share the same liberal mentality that is the main cause of God's dismissal from our Schools, colleges, and courts.

Yet, not everyone subscribes to that kind of entertainment. Mel Gibson proved that there is a market for good entertainment, where God and traditional values are welcomed with open arms, and the revenue of such is many times higher than Hollywood's sexual flicks.

I am curious as to how that change came about.

Clearly Hollywood in its heyday certainly extolled the virtues of America, with the likes of Frank Capra bringing us classics like It's a Wonderful Life, and Mr. Smith Goes To Washington. These movies gave America a sense of self worth, and showed us that old fashioned values were part of Hollywood's production thought process.

We also had actors like Clark Gable, and Jimmy Stewart serving their country with distinction. Ronald Reagan making films that supported the war industry, lifting moral for America.

Was it the beginning of the anti hero films in the 60's that started this trend?

I also think that if Hollywood doesn't change, they will crush under their own weight of irrelevance.
