Just what ARE the bleeding heart types going to do when due to their treasonous actions, America is struck again on her own soil? Oh, that’s right...if there’s a Republican in office at the time, they’ll just blame him! If there’s a ‘Rat in office, they’ll then blame the enemy. Maybe.

Jeepers. They’d wet themselves if they had to face a homeless person threatening them with a butter knife.

I can hardly wait for the real fun to begin. *Rolleyes*

Actually, Sarandon gets much more feature work than 95% of the other actresses in her age bracket. At sixty plus she works all she wants.

She belongs to the 'Put out early, Collect later' genre of thespians.         ;^)

Hollywood IS at war - with America.

Just a quick lunch-timr ping.
The relative section:

Nick Broomfield's "Battle for Haditha" is about the alleged massacre of Iraqi civilians by U.S. Marines.

Broomfield said about making the movie, "I realized that these soldiers were very, very poor kids, who had all left school unbelievably early. It was the first time they had all been out of the United States . . .

"They had no idea what they were doing in Iraq, and they felt let down by the Marine Corps. It was hard to condemn them out of hand as cold-blooded killers."

Like the "blood for oil" mantra by leftists, the idea that the soldiers in Iraq come from poor backgrounds with no education is part and parcel of the anti-war mythology. (The genesis of this myth can be traced back to the American Communist Eugene Debs.)

One of the Marines accused of the massacre (where the charges are slowly but surely evaporating), Sgt. Frank Wuterich, was a high school honor student and jazz trumpet player from Meriden, Conn. - where the median family income is $52,788 a year. He reenlisted after 9/11 and volunteered to go to Iraq.

Doesn't sound like he's poor and uneducated and didn't know what he was doing in Iraq.

Another accused Marine, L/Cpl. Justin Sharratt, is also a high school graduate and a former Boy Scout and Sea Cadet from Granger, Ind. - where the median household income is $82,400 a year. Doesn't sound poor and uneducated either, does he?

THE ANTI-WAR left needs to construct these myths about the American military to reinforce their propaganda machine. They also need to construct them to stoke their own religious fervor for their misinformation campaigns.

They are as guilty of treason as Axis Sally was (literally, she was convicted for a radio drama).

No and no.
;O)

But I can tell you that IMO, he's one of those people that is constantly afraid. Afraid of this, afraid of that. Scared of armed people, scared of trucks, etc. In other words a liberal to the bone.

When you have a chance, check out 1942's Mrs. Miniver, about a British family's loss and bravery while under Nazi attacks. The final scene -- I won't give it away -- is chilling, and underneath the closing credits, MGM inserted "BUY WAR BONDS." That will never happen again.
