I haven’t seen this movie. I avoid theatres. It’s way too expensive. I hadn’t planned to watch it because I assumed it somehow held a liberal political message.
When I can rent it for $2.00 I may watch it.

Re-read what you wrote — slowly. Then reflect on why Hollywood might not feel very motivated to produce more movies with a conservative “political message”.
Do not misunderestimate the power of the box office.

Gimme Shelter: Film a Game Changer in Abortion Debate?Ain't gonna' change nuttin'. Abortion is here to stay. I get a kick out of how it's ignored whenever they talk about the biggest killers of infants, and never once include the 1,300,000 babies slaughtered every year here in the good old United States.

You make a good point there. I did go out of my way to see Atlas Shrugged (Part I) in a theater. I had to travel for that one.
I may have to shell out the money for it. I default to assume liberal messages in these military movies.
Mind changed. Congrats!

This isn’t the kind of movie I’d ordinarily pay attention to, but the trailer and description are just captivating.

If it has been panned by the usual critics, it may be worth seeing.

I am always very suspicious of Hollywood. On the one hand, they don’t make socially conservative movies so if one comes out, its a welcomed surprise. But sometimes bad movies are made and Hollywood tries to sell them to a target audience, like conservatives, by playing up a socially conservative theme. They sucker you into going to a bad movie by putting the word out that it has a conservative theme.

Not true!
If the film is successful in getting just one girl or mother to save her "unborn" baby, then the movie would have been worth it. Hopefully it will save a lot more than one life.
What is the price of one life? If the cost to make the movie was multiple millions, and it saves just one life, then the price would have been worth it, and paying to see it would be more than worth it to help recover the cost, so that perhaps more such projects are encouraged for the movie-makers.

Of course you haven't seen it. It's a brand new movie and coming out today.
When I can rent it for $2.00 I may watch it.
What a cheapskate you are *rme*

Feminists, Democrats and "Pro-Choice" folks accuse us of conducting a "war on women" when we say we're Pro-Life.
Well then, what does one call 55,000,000 aborted murdered Children at the hands of those same Feminists, Democrats and "Pro-Choicers?"
I'd call that a War on Children.
Now who holds the moral high-ground? (That would be those of us who defend those who cannot defend themselves --- that's who.)

There’s a leftist windbag* (douchebag, too) that writes for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette who actually gave it a very good review today.
*Honestly, you’d have to read some of the crap he’s spewed over the last several years to believe it...

“This movie has already been panned by the critics”
The critics ALWAYS pan movies with non-Kommie messages. I quit paying any attention to the Kommie “critics” ages ago and read only viewer critiques.
To: usconservative
What they are doing is projecting their guilt on to us and hope it sticks. It is them who are holding wars on women and on children
