Dinesh D'Souza's thesis is ahistorical - it fails to recognize that Islam has been at war with the West for 1400 years - long before the Cultural Left and Hollywood decadence arrived on the scene. Minorities are persecuted with brutality throughout the Muslim world. In particular, devout Christian nuns have singled out for mmurder and they are hardly apostles of Western leftist decadence. The truth is the Cultural Left and Islamofascism have an alliance because they both hate the Werst and the values it stands for. The Greeks were outnumbered by the Persians at Thermopylae because they were prepared to die as free men rather than live as slaves in thrall to the Great King Of Persia. Considering Islam intends to reduce free people in the West to powerless helots, we too face a fight against seemingly impossible odds. But against such a fanatical foe, those of us heirs to a proud and storied classical and Judeo-Christian civilization, like our ancestors, too will have to take a stand. My own answer is I would rather die a free man than live as a slave. What will your answer be to the Islamofascist challenge? Fight to the last man standing - or surrender? That is the question of our time.

If the Muslims blotted out the sun, I too would fight in the shade to my dying breath.

I am so sick and tired of the western world treating Muslims with kid gloves. Where are these people who are against left wing fanatics? You will never see it. The Imams who were being picked on because they were acting strange on an airplane makes me sick.
Werent we attacked by fanatical muslims?

One thing for sure.

I know with whom Leonidas would side with today.

History is whispering to us even through the stylized artistic prism of this film.

I actually grow tired of the “based on a comic book”, “it’s just a movie” belittling of this film. Frank Miller knew exactly what the lesson was then, and what that message to us today is.

The message is only more obvious in this time of war with islamo-facists.

I really liked the movie!

And I don’t really recall anything that would be considered “graphic sexuality”.

It was inspiring. And its been along time since I’v been inspired by a movie. And its been a VERY long time since I’v seen a movie that was based on strong men (physically, mentally and morally).

I thought it was awsome. And those actors were definitly ripped:)

But D’Souza does have a point - even it it is an obliue one.

The “West” is an uneasy (or untested) alliance between traditional moralists and progressivist hedonists. This is an alliance that can’t stand for long. (You’re not going to see mom and pop America sending their sons off to war so we can have safe and plentiful gay bars, and other glories of liberal “democracy” in Iran.)

There is a seismic fault running through America that hasn’t seen sufficient stress to cause and earthquake.

Traditional America has two enemies in view - Islam and Leftist Westerners. D’Souza mistake in falling to discern the tripolar conflict.

“And D’Souza wonders why most conservatives don’t take him seriously? “

I haven’t read this new thing by D’Souza but I know that he captures Reagan better than any other writer I know of.

I gave up on this nasty bitch Feder a long time ago, and as far as I know he has no where near the respect of D’Souza among conservatives.

D’Souza is a major writer in the conservative world including our flag ship publication “The National Review”.

Although I haven’t yet read this book by D’Souza this nasty, little diatribe by this small timer hasn’t come close to convincing me that after all these years D’ Souza all of a sudden became a dumb ass.

And if America returned to the moral climate of the 1950s, would al Qaeda stop killing women and children? Would Hamas unbuckle its dynamite belts?

Feder is actually understating his case here. Sayyid Qutb, leading intellectual of the jihadist movement, based his hatred of American decadence on a college stay in Greeley, Colorado in 1947. After returning to Egypt, he commented on what he perceived to be the decadent, sex-filled atmosphere of a church basement sock hop.

I see no possibility that we will ever be able to communicate with a culture that thinks this way. To survive, we're going to have to destroy it. Let's hope we can find a way to do that without undue loss of life.

I have to disagree, he is one of the authors I truly admire( which means I buy his books new), I recommend his book “Ronald Reagan”, a book that Feder couldn’t (and wouldn’t) write.

Another parallel about to be drawn between 300, Persia and Islamic Jihad.

Eventually, the hedonists, boy-lovers, and self-styled philosophers of Athens (or our modern day Liberal/Leftist/Progressives) will eventually have to join the Spartans in the field or face destruction at the hands of the Persian(Islamic) Empire(Caliphate).

Persia was not Islamic, that was a thousand years before Islam even came around and it did not come from Persia.

I just saw it a couple of days ago and thought it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. However, there were some scenes I could have done without - but it wasn’t the one of the rear view of Leonidas ;)

D’Sousa talks sense and apparently Don Feder is upset about it.

(Thermopolye was a holding action) a DIP Mission like the Fulda. (Die In Place)

Actually it is my intention God Willing to fight to the Islamofacist’s last man.

However I agree with the criticisim of De Souza here. I will condemn both the Islamofacist as well as the godless secular faith of the Left. The enemy of my enemy can only be my friend when I am not his enemy also.

I am the enemy of both the Islamofacist and the Left. Hell they have both allied against Christians and other decent folks around the world so we better just accept it and work to take them both apart.

D’souza talks appeasement...it is an interesting derailment for D’Souza. Almost like he had some sort of seizure.
His reaction to criticism is strange also, I think something medical/psych is up with him.
