Odd how many Americans can agree with Christopher Hitchens on many issues, i.e. his rage at Henry Kissinger. I sympathize totally with such disgust. The Hitchens contempt for the Tea Party, however, is the grandest dividing line, largely due to the tea Party’s fervent belief in God and its faith in Sarah Palin whom Hitchens repeatedly heaps fear and loathing on. Hitchens, however, warns the world to not patronize Sarah Palin! He points out that his favorite film on American Presidential politics is Gore Vidal’s The Best Man. With an almost bottomless irony of ironies, he further adds that at...

I went to University of Detroit’s Jesuit High School in Northwest Detroit. Out of all my educational experiences, those formative four years were the best and the most enduring. Matched up against four years of the Ivy League at Dartmouth College and a year abroad in England on a Fulbright Scholarship, the Catholic experience was the deepest, the longest lasting and, in my opinion, the greatest contributor to a long – 70 years so far – and wonderfully rewarding life. Here is an undeniably clear revelation of the growing divide between traditional America as seen in this Catholic Preparatory School,...

The Toothless Rottweiler Big Hollywood has a fairly young audience so I don’t think the pluses and minuses of old age would much interest them. However, my self-appointed assignment here as Sarah Palin’s guard dog has brought me more than a few black comedy dramas as the toothless Rottweiler I am. The attack dog’s “growl” within me starts the second I hear or see anyone looking down on the former governor of Alaska. Why? I’m a survivor of parents who chose to have not just one but two abortions. Learning about abortion at the age of 9 automatically enlists you...

I was terrified of the prospect of a third party candidate. A three-way, split vote might very well … if the third candidate were viable and interesting … insure the re-election of the worst President in American history, Barack Obama. Nothing would make James Carville happier. Unless, of course, this third party candidate were Hillary Clinton! Carville would be strapping on two Colt 45’s, lock n’ load, and mosey on down to the 2012 OK Corral right behind the Secretary of State. Hillary Clinton is now, if you don’t mind my saying so, Carville’s “Main Man”. James Carville is not,...

Seriousness.” Now I have never doubted either Sarah Palin’s seriousness nor her command of not only America’s traditional values but also her ownership of the political cunning to see those values re-instituted! The know-it-alls underestimated a country boy named Abraham Lincoln. Doris Kearns Goodwin set the record straight with revelations about “The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln.” Sarah Palin had the mainstream press chasing after her for days and were she President of the United States they’d approach her with that memory firmly in their minds.

"The Hammer", more generally known as Charles Krauthammer, has indeed made his mark indelibly in my old and fading memories. His last three major opinions, the recent revelations of just how cunning and successful President Obama can be? The triumph of President Obama's "Compromise" over tax hikes and "Obama's New Start"?Then, of course, The Hammer's most recent translation of Obama Transparency. Of course, my instant "Yea" from the bleacher seats in Canada is particularly fierce in light of all the warnings I've made about the fruits of Roe v Wade. I doubt if Mr. Krauthammer would consider my observations little...

If I remember correctly, George Buchner’s 19th Century play, Danton’s Death, actually opened The Hopkins Center at Dartmouth College. Though my memories are now understandably vague, I was actually in that production. Why my amnesia is understandable would necessitate a whole other article. However, I played Camille Desmoulins in Danton’s Death, one of the Orphans of the Storm, so to speak. I saw that classic silent movie, D. W. Griffith’s Orphans of the Storm, last night. Many “Orphans” of that nightmare were former French Revolutionaries whom Maximilien Robespierre suddenly found unacceptable to him and his idea of “Public Safety.” Robespierre...

I must say, writing for Big Hollywood has made me face the most belligerently intelligent among my readers, many of whom refuse to believe that murder is murder. Even those who are willing to admit that abortion does end a human life, defend Roe V. Wade by saying that abortion, like alcoholism, cannot be stopped by Prohibition. Hmmm … Alcoholism is only terminal for the alcoholic, therefore, having experienced it myself, it is suicidal. A law against suicide is utterly unenforceable for the obvious reasons, mainly that, in the case of suicide, “too late is too late.” Alcoholism, though a...

The Obama White House, so filled with Harvard graduates, is obviously more interested in teaching than in learning. “Teachable moments,” remember? Why the Obama Nation should retain so many slow-learners, spoiled brats refusing to recognize, amidst their Marxist Mania, the reality of Islamic terrorism?

Here is video of original Law & Order cast member Michael Moriarty giving his take on the series liberal bias...(Video)Moriarty said the show was not always as political but now the show only cares about "infuriating those basic Middle-Western heart belt Americans." Moriarty called Dick Wolf "a propaganda minister for the Obama administration."

Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor Michael Moriarty recently endorsed fellow Law & Order star Fred Thompson for President of the United States. During a telephone conversation with this writer, Moriarty said: “Whoever does occupy the White House will not overturn Roe v. Wade, nor will he or she put the dictatorial Supreme Court in its place. “However, I will personally vote for Mr. Fred Thompson and help his campaign as best I can, but I don’t believe his entrance into this campaign ever carried enough pro-life commitment to do the job that has to be done. In addition, since...

A well-known actor and filmmaker is speaking out on abortion, illegal immigration, radical Islam, and the New World Order. He says Progressives are destroying America. Golden Globe, Emmy, and Tony Award winning actor, writer, and musician—as well as conservative patriot—Michael Moriarty recently announced his interest in running for President of the United States in 2008. He’s doing it to take on Hollywood’s liberal-left establishment and the Globalists. “If a Hollywood star denigrates the war on terrorism or promotes gay marriage, he or she is welcomed with open arms by the Oprah Winfreys of the world. But if he or she...

Osama bin Laden laid down his gauntlet and decreed that Allah would make mincemeat out of the Judeo-Christian civilization. Meanwhile, Christ's enemies in North America claim the Son of God was meshuguna (crazy). According to the New World Order's Erosion Theory, the memory of Christ can be worn down by attrition; that is, by withdrawing His name from holiday celebrations and all state functions. This insidious plan seems to be working. Happy holidays is supplanting Merry Christmas. Vicars in England are no longer invited to the schools they once ministered to. Worst of all, a few cardinals in the Roman...

George Soros and how power beats money everytime By Michael Moriarty web posted April 4, 2005 As a graduate of the Ivy League's Dartmouth and a Fulbright Scholar in a Europe that was just waiting to Marx-up the crème de la crème of America's graduating classes, I can well understand why literati, such as Harvard's Norman Mailer -- "revolutionized" in his G.I. Bill of three years at the Sorbonne in Paris -- and other such hungry intellects can be "turned," as they say, into would-be Jean Genets. But a dyed-in-the-wool, honest-to-god billionaire capitalist immigrant from Hungary like George Soros? "What's...
