The lefties in Hollyweird aren't going to know what to do after this weekend.

I expect this movie to break some records.

However they will be very well aware that a significant chunk of the American public doesn't give a rip what they say or think, at the very least.

That doesn't surprise you or I, but I'm sure will come as a shock to them.

my niece plays basketball for a Jewish Community Center team. Yesterday they played the Methodists and right before the tipoff an 11 year old girl said to my niece in an angry and audible voice, "You killed my Savior!" NICE!

Caught in the Crossfire: Gibson and his movie

National Review Online ^ | February 25, 2004 | Roy Schoeman

Posted on 02/26/2004 2:59:46 PM PST by nickcarraway

It seems odd that today's self-appointed arbiters of public morality are eager to canonize sodomy as a fundamental human right, and to defend the display of a dung-smeared Madonna at public expense as a heroic exercise of First Amendment rights, while condemning Mel Gibson's literal portrayal of the Gospels as beyond the pale of acceptable social behavior. It is enough to lead one to believe that, to these critics, it is God Himself - at least, a personal God who places any particular requirements on moral behavior or, worse yet, religious practice - who is the enemy. The only God acceptable to them would be an amorphous one with no religious or moral preferences, and the only acceptable religion one that asserts no claim to objective truth. Unfortunately (to the critics) Christianity fails both of these tests, and thus so do Mel Gibson and his movie.

That was my first thought. Most people I know are going to see it this weekend.

It was released on Ash Wednesday. I predict a good turnout thru Easter Sunday.
