35,000 Iraqis vs the 2-3 million that already perished by Sadam. Most where killed by each other anyway.

“We went down a path that cost several hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives. I don’t think the American people even know why it was done. So it’s all about opening your eyes.”

That’s right, we went into Iraq to get a-hold of the wise and kind nature-spirit Saddam’s supply of unobtainium, defiling his precious natural resources. Somebody should post those pics of the oil fields on fire.

Freegards, merry Christmas

“We know what it feels like to launch the missiles. We don’t know what it feels like for them to land on our home soil, not in America. I think there’s a moral responsibility to understand that.”

Hey, dumbsh**t, what do you think America experienced on 9/11/01? Airplanes USED as missles. The only difference was the speed and the means of targeting.

James Cameron has a pre-9/11 attitude.

Darned shame the A-rabs didn't burn down Beverly Hills just for funzies.

They could have, too. There's a way!

Avatar: another in a line of films to serve as political Rorschach devices for those who desperately need something ambiguous to bloviate about rather than to confront the clear and present danger that inhabits the White House and controls Congress.

"...a path that cost several hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives. "

Huh? 'several hundreds of thousands'? I seriously doubt Jimmy boy has any proof of that. I think he's been listening to Jimmy Carter or some other BDS whack job.

As I blogged earlier, director James Cameron has made it abundantly clear that the film is linked to both the war in Iraq and the War on Terror.

Yes, because everyone knows the Iraqi people were living in a libertarian paradise and were one with nature b/f the Americans came in and stole all their oil

Well. contrary to my original predictions, it looks like AVATAR WILL make money. I hadn’t figured in two things:1.
the foreign receipts, playing on audiences that want to embrace an Anti-American message, and 2.the fact that countless millions will see a movie like this MERELY for the “special”, cutting-edge effects.

Perhaps great fantasy about fantasy. But it’s amazing how much real money can be spent on fantasy and the making of a spectacular, self indulgent bitchfest. What a tragic, idiotic waste.

There’s nothing Rorschach about this movie. It is obviously leftist agitprop.

The idea that pointing out this movie’s agenda keeps people from confronting Obama is ridiculous.

When a $200M piece of leftist propaganda is released into the world to damage America’s reputation, it’s good to sound the alarm.

The kind of naive passivity you advocate does nothing but enable those who hate this country.

Haven’t been to a movie in 20 years just because of the political correctness. I could care less about cutting-edge effects.

Say what they want...

There is not a nation , nor has there been one that offers more opportunity and a better life for all. Its all choice.

No one can offer that, No where, its only in America.

And most these asses want to have a revolution?

Then wake up to what? Its bad enough that Obama is in there destroying the good things.... the future, freedom, liberty and democracy.

Damnrat pischers! No idea.

Nothing is so obvious as something one wishes to see.

The idea that pointing out this movie’s agenda keeps people from confronting Obama is ridiculous.

I didn't say this, but this is a good example of the lack of care in reading that manifests itself in calling Avatar "agitprop." Taking over countries in this world's history is far more a practice of Communists and Muslims than anything in the West.

When a $200M piece of leftist propaganda is released into the world to damage America’s reputation, it’s good to sound the alarm.

Again, another example of begging the question.

The kind of naive passivity you advocate does nothing but enable those who hate this country.

I advocated no passivity, naive or otherwise, but again, this is another example of reactive reading in which the "reader" sees certain words and phrases that elicit a response based on his own inner meanings and then characterizes the writer as having written from that position. It's a dangerous practice that keeps one from seeing what is actually out there.
