The Left’s Selective Outrage: When Movies Do and Don’t Influence

Big Hollywood "In an editorial bashing conservatives, U.S. Marines, and businessmen on Jan. 19, the Los Angeles Times admits that James Cameron’s “Avatar” has a radical leftist agenda. But, either out of disingenuousness, deception, or stupidity, they then contend, what does it matter? “We’ll stipulate,” the Editorial Board of the Times wrote, “that ‘Avatar’ promotes a liberal worldview. The question is, why does anyone care?” "...."If it doesn’t matter what people communicate, then the L.A. Times should stop writing editorials and endorsing candidates, every student should be allowed to read the Bible aloud in class, Christian business men and women should be able to use Bible references in their product serial numbers, and “Triumph of the Will” by Adolf Hitler’s favorite filmmaker should be lauded along with “Birth of a Nation.” "

James O’Keefe, protector of African-American Children

Big Journalism "The Left accusing James O’Keefe of being racist against blacks is the equivalent of accusing Oskar Schindler of being racist against Jews. Before O’Keefe became famous throughout the world for his undercover sting of ACORN, he was celebrated in the pro-life world for his undercover sting of Planned Parenthood in 2008, exposing it as the racist organization it was founded to be by eugenicist Margaret Sanger."

Dale Robertson, No Friend of Ours

Pajamas Media "Robertson and his publicist encourage the MSM to consider it a mere squabble between various factions involved in the tea party movement. But quick research on the internet shows that no one in the actual tea party movement wants anything to do with the man. Needless to say, left-wing sites have been repeatedly drawing attention to him as an example of racism in the tea party."

MATTHEWS AND OLBERMANN NOW OPENLY FIGHTING OVER OBAMA

Ann Coulter "Even when presented with a short, straightforward, simply stated question by Rep. Mike Pence, Obama couldn't help but to formulate a different question. Pence asked: "Mr. President, will you consider supporting across-the-board tax relief, as President Kennedy did?" The question Obama wanted Pence to ask was: Mr. President, will you join Republicans in cutting taxes of billionaires?"

The Tea Party’s Focus: Elections

Big Government "In 2010, our focus must be to overthrow the leftists in Congress at the ballot box. By definition, our focus will be diffused. We will have to divide up 40 critical races and do our best on 395 others. And that’s just the House. We also must win a dozen Senate races, a dozen gubernatorial races, and countless state legislative seats. Our task is mighty."

Global Warming Update

Walter E. Williams "John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, in an hour-long television documentary titled "Global Warming: The Other Side," presents evidence that our National Climatic Data Center has been manipulating weather data just as the now disgraced and under investigation British University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit. The NCDC is a division of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "

UK Greenpeace Chief Calls on Pachauri to Resign: Al Gore Still Silent

American Interest blog"Meanwhile, in the face of an increasing cascade of inconvenient truths, Al Gore remains silent. Even the leadership of Greenpeace UK understands that low scientific standards and reckless disregard for the truth are destroying the credibility of the global warming community, and John Sauven has the courage and integrity to speak up about it."

America Rides Off into the Sunset; The only people excited about the “change” in America's foreign policy are the world’s bad actors.

Victor Davis Hanson ,NRO "But, unfortunately, national leaders themselves do not behave like excited concertgoers or European intellectuals. Instead, they have only long-term self-interests — not temporary emotional crushes — and so seek to expand their influence whenever they can.Obama had better understand that difference. A world without strong U.S. leadership really would become a far more dangerous place where the strong do as they please and the weak obey as they must. After World War II, a reluctant America guaranteed a global system of secure trade and encouraged free-market capitalism and democracy. Both Communist and fascist tyrants fought those efforts, eager to expand totalitarianism beyond their borders. Envious allies and neutral countries that benefited enormously from the American-enforced system resented the high profile of the United States. All that responsibility was unpopular and costly for the United States."

Why 'The Waltons' Are Still Worth Watching

From Breakpoint; "There is no way this show would be accepted as a new series today. In an era that offers seemingly endless violent crime shows like Law and Order, NCIS, Criminal Minds and 24; when we flip the channel to find hefty doses of cynicism and raunch-Desperate Housewives, House, The Family Guy, and South Park—what Hollywood executive would bet on a slow-moving, sex-and-violence free family drama? Who’d watch it?"
