I went to see the movie over the weekend - a must see for all patriots!

To the question of whether or not the movie makes "a hero out of Kyle, who said: 'The enemy are savages and despicably evil,' and his 'only regret is that I didn’t kill more.'"

1) Islamist terrorists ARE savages and despicably evil - ask any of their victims. Oh, that's right, their victims have been brutally killed, and some have been beheaded - hardly the acts of peace-loving humans.

2) Kyle killed to save the lives of his fellow heros and innocent civilians.

Those who would criticize an American hero have the right to do so, but I have the right to call them ignorant leftists.

Leftists aren't ignorant, they simply feel they have more in common with the despicably evil.

They're opinions and alliances are informed solely by their hatred of God, this country, its people and it's heritage.

The Hollywood leftists are likely upset by the financial success of this film. The leftist politically correct bilge that Hollywood often produces never has this kind of success at the box office.

Half of Hollywood did not graduate High School.
The other half are felons.

Should we celebrate a killer?!?! A man who ‘killed’ in the line of duty, on orders from his country, for his country. He’s a bad guy?

Do they know NOTHING of their cultural icon Che Guevara? Seriously?

For years, it has been the conventional wisdom that Hollywood was “only in it for the money”.

If that were the case, they would be making nothing but films like “The Passion of the Christ” and “American Sniper”.

Their howling criticism of these kind of films, which do so well at the box office, just proves their agenda.

Would rather it just be money. Then we would have some decent movies to watch.

“killer”

They don’t have a problem with guns in movies or trash like “Natural Born Killers” but do have a problem with an ordinary man, made extraordinary by voluntarily placing himself down-range.

Chris Kyle put his life on the line fighting fanatical animals who would probably slice these Hollyweirdos’ gay, kosher, feminist necks first, if the animals broke through a thin wire guarded by men like Chris Kyle, Pat Tillman and John Basilone, and thousands of others.

They aren’t fit to lick the boots of these men, but they put their mouths on them.

Liberalism. Is. A. Mental. Disease.

Lindy West criticized Kyle this way: “The real American Sniper was a hate-filled killer. Why are simplistic patriots treating him as a hero?”

Because one of the legitimate functions of rational government is the protection of God given natural rights of citizens both within by the police and without by the military. The sniper was doing his God given natural duty, and his actions against an enemy were successful. His emotional state and motives were irrelevant.It really is that simple.

Even if you accept the premise of the complaints (which I don’t), the idea that Hollywood is uncomfortable making heroes out of people who have serious character flaws is laughable.

... a hero out of Kyle, who said: “The enemy are savages and despicably evil,” and his “only regret is that I didn’t kill more.” Kyle made the statements in his best-selling book, “American Sniper,” on which the film is based.

Sounds like a hero to me.

Hilarious to see liberal media types disparaging people who patronized the movie, “American Sniper” as “simplistic,” when they completely ignore the man whose orders Kyle was following each time he pulled the trigger...the man that virtually every one of these patriot-bashers voted for, and supported through their political contributions.

Simplistic? Who could be more simple-minded, and hypocritical, than the media personalities who condemn the hero puts his life at risk to follow the orders of the man who set the policy and gave the orders the solder was following...the president they supported in every possible way.

..as with the latest hypocrite, Liam Nelson.

I’ve come to regard splenetic reviews by leftists as the best measure of the worthiness of the material in question. I often decide to purchase books simply because of the shrillness in leftist commentaries and I will most certainly go watch American Sniper. I thoroughly despise the modern American left, and feel neither respect nor loyalty to the America they envision.

I don’t recall Hollywood expressing these kinds of concerns when “Silence of the Lambs” and “Bonnie and Clyde” and “Thelma and Louise” and a hundred other killer-glorifying films were released.

They pretend the second word in the tittle is what offends, when we all know the reality is that it’s the first word.
