Some of you think that the rest of us are stupid. Of course, you can read into 300 as racist because it is obvious. But those who defend the movie try to make those who see the racism in it as cynics. I wouldn’t pay my BEST dollar to see that Bullshit. It reeked with propoganda. This is merely a comic-book farce that is similiar to “Birth of a Nation” in regards to pumping up the racism that lingers and surfaces ONLY when Hollywood makes crap like this.

Regarding the “Asian hordes” and the Islamophobia that the phrase implies, I have to admit that Islam does in fact scare me to death. Since 911, Jihadists have murdered civilians in France, Thailand, Somalia, Russia, Jordan, India, Indonesia, Turkey, Egypt, Ukraine, England, Israel, Pakistan, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Holland, and Lord knows where else. And about no terrorists attacks in the US, how about the father and son sniper team in the DC area, the nutbag in Seattle, the lunatic in San Fransisco, the guy in Salt Lake City, etc. Making it all the more scary is that magazines like Newsweek and Time give aid and comfort to our enemies.

Of all the current threats to our nation, the malfeasance of our Main Stream Media is near the top.

With a population more interested in the next Brittany Spears train-wreck photo op, J-Lo’s new baby and Pitt & Jolie’s personal lives, we all have a lot to fear. The uninterested, uneducated, and easily influenced are out there voting, based on the detritus being reported by Newsweek and others.

So Newsweek feels it necessary to denounce a comic book fantasy by responding with a left-wing fantasy (aka the “narrative”). Yeah, well, most of us rubes in flyover country are aware that “300″ is a wee bit of a stretch from the historical facts. It’s entertainment after all. The irony is that people like Evan Thomas accept their own fantasy as fact: America is a racist, fearful, bigoted, homophobic society. Not much entertainment here. It’s getting old already.

TLM,
Strange, but Butch Cassidy and Sundance were also martyred in Bolivia. Perhaps Obama should also put up posters of Newman and Redford?

Essential vdh

All else will have been blown away.

We will have been disarmed, dispirited, victimized, segregated into victim groups, voting as victims, learning as victims, whiny losers, left defenseless, mentally and physically, helpless, like a beached whale carcuss left to scavengers who don’t have the sense God gave to idiots. Who don’t realize they are feeding on themselves.

Who are they, the whiny losers the scavengers? Ourselves of course.

How?–We believed that we created a world where one could get something from nothing for nothing. A Utopia dream, a real nightmare.

Something for Less than nothing, by lying, cheating, stealing, extortion, blackmail, race baiting, vote “stuffing” in the name of “Community Action”. On and on with no independent true values other than what was decided at the moment.

Fortune and opportunity not from production but by litigation, extortion, blackmail, Political scams, power brokering, Racial strife, endless flim flam. An endless stream of Al Sharptons, Jesse Jackson’s, Obama’s

It began, the slide into hell, with the “Great Society”, It ended with Affirmative Action and an Affirmative Action product for a President. In the name of a mythical god called Political Correctness created by man who having replaced the real one created his own. A Convenience.

No one was left who was not a victim trying to feed on a carcuss long dead. Not like the 300.

The good news is that our Gene pool–aborted in the name of “freedom of choice” for women.

I guess there was always “Hell to Pay”.

The bill was due and it was paid. The books balanced and closed out. Next!?.

There are no level plains in real life. We are either ascending or descending.

Correction: Che was killed in Bolivia. He’s still hero to FARQ and Obama supporters. ‘Nuff said.

I think the decapitations on recent Al Qaeda videos were way more gross than 300.

I hope I have a fierce love of freedom. I wish everyone would.

I wish I had 6 pack abs.

Dear Classics Scholar Victor Davis Hanson,

Buchannan OK. At least he ran for president. “TELL JOSE TO GO BACK WHERE HE CAME FROM.” That you mentioned this guy’s name is the best press he’s ever gotten. He should thank you.

I always liked TIME and US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT better.

I wish you had had lunch with General Petraeus…one on one. He might have learned something. I’d be surprised if he hadn’t read your books.

I wish someone would come out with a book about the authorizations for the Iraq war. It should have been done a long time ago. Fieth’s book is getting tedious.

General Clark should be demoted.

Honolulu Hoosay’s still in the game.

Wake up folks.

Minerva,

Much like today’s German Army is nothing more than a terrible joke compared to the professionalism of the German Army which conquered Europe by 1940, the Spartans had, like the Germans, self-imploded.

If only the villains had been turned into stereotypical blond neo-Nazis as CAIR ruined Tom Clancy’s The Sum of All Fears. Then it would have been OK presumably.

Not all brown people are good, nor all white people bad. That’s become especially clear since we learned about Black Liberation Theology.
