Hmmmm. I thought Mel was a conservative.

He is. Spiritual conservative that is, and I think he earned his colors better than any contemporary I know of - including the pope - regarding his religious beliefs.

Is Gibson just another Hollywood commie freak? I really don't think so. Ask Lt. Col. Hal More ( We Were Soldiers ) what he thinks of Gibson's patriotism, before mob rule sets in on this thread.

From where I stand The Passion of the Christ solidified the Christian vote against Kerry, and Stolen Honor locked in the veteran/patriot vote for Bush....both of which were the ONLY reasons why there will be a Republican in the White House, January 21st.

Mel Gibson has earned public support for his work the hard way. Cut 'em a little slack. He's all aces from where I stand.

Men who drive a truck for a living have better experience than a Hollywood movie star when it comes to understanding war and peace. Many of them are veterans, even if they never pretended to be one on the big screen. Gibson's not a commie, that's for sure. But he does have some answering to do if he claims to be a "spiritual conservative". How does he explain movies like "what women want" then?

Gibson was actually born in the US, but moved with his family to Australia. The reason they moved is because his father protested the Vietnam war. His father was also Devoutly, some would say Evangelist Catholic.
