Thank you for interjecting your leftie, non-thought here. I was beginning to think that the only commentors were going to be those of us with the wits to understand (and despair of) what has happened to our culture over the last few decades...with the help of Hollyweird. It's called "projection," Jack. That is, the tendancy of those on the left to project THEIR biases, hatreds, racism and selfishness on those they oppose--probably because displaying those characteristics is how THEY respond to opposition so they assume conservatives will respond likewise. Grow up and use your head for something other than a hatrack. Jack T. Thank you for interjecting your leftie, non-thought here.

By nature humans are liberal leaning. That's the way God made us. It's only when you get infected with racism, selfishness, hatred, conservatism, and exlusionism, that you become a Republican.

"Pop Culture" really no longer exists (if it ever did). For example, if a TV show with viewership of 20,000,000 is a top-ten rated show. But this is a country of 300,000,000. So here is a ratings-buster that 280,000,000 people don't watch. To wit, 14 out of 15 people don't watch a top-ten show. I seem to remember (i.e. i'm not positive) that the "big three" networks have a combined viership of 30,000,000 for their nightly news. That is, 9 out of 10 don't watch. When is the last time you went to the movies to see anything except a pixar animated movie? Have you seen an oscar nominated movie? Do you even know anyone who has seen one? "Top Forty" format radio stations have vanished. Do you still subscribe to the local paper? Do you even know anyone who does? Yes, currently the left dominates the "MSM" (but calling it "mainstream" is a streach). However, these are dead or dying mediums. In most cases it's programing by the left for the left. If your not watching/reading/listening, what makes you think anyone else is? Relax. “Pop Culture” really no longer exists (if it ever did).

Why they then flip-flop back into dead-fish big-state gray-mask soviet socialism is just beyond me. Maybe it's because the Golden Age of Hollywood was created by busted Depression proles who had enough pocket change for a few hours escapism and needed it badly.
