Glover: Haiti is Retribution for Copenhagen

According to Danny Glover, the earthquake in Haiti is a direct result of world governments not taking enough action to stop global warming in Copenhagen.



In other words, Danny Glover is just as crazy as Pat Robertson...but because he's talking about global warming, he undoubtedly won't get the kind of bad press that Robertson has gotten over the past few days.

This makes me curious as to what the "carbon footprint" of Haiti is.  Haiti is a poor third-world nation - that's the biggest reason the devastation there is as bad as it is.  And as a poor third-world nation, they undoubtedly produce less pollution than more developed nations...so if Mother Earth was pissed off at the world because we didn't do enough at the laughable Copenhagen "global warming in a snowstorm" summit, why respond with an earthquake in Haiti?  Why not in a bigger polluter such as the US or China or some other developed nation?

The truth is, Glover is a kook...he was good in Lethal Weapon, but when it comes to his political views, he's a typical Hollywood leftist communist-sympathizing wacko.

Leno Breaks The Strike...But Why Does Anyone Care?

Jay Leno has been a supporter of the Hollywood writers' strike since the beginning, and now he has won the distinction of being one of the first of the Hollywood elite to break the strike.  

I don't watch late night TV...I don't watch much of any TV for that matter, but apparently Leno had the audacity to write his own jokes for The Tonight Show.  Imagine, a comedian who actually writes his own jokes!

Personally, if I were Jay Leno, I would be ashamed that a writers' strike shut my show down - Leno is supposed to be an ace comedian, a really funny guy, but he has to have someone else write his jokes?  

I've never really cared much about the writers' strike from the beginning - these people aren't exactly hurting to begin with, and they haven't exactly been turning out quality products over the past few years - television these days is rarely much more than smut, filth, gore, and stupid PC messages (just like the movies).  I don't really see what all the stink is about - the only reason Leno can't write his own jokes is because the union keeps him from doing what should be his job in the first place.

GI Joe: The International Hero?

The first step: in the latest Superman movie, it was no longer "Truth, Justice and the American Way." Instead, it was "Truth, Justice...and all that stuff." Why? Because Hollywood is embarrassed to be American. They don't believe that the United States stands for truth and justice anymore, and they're the ones making the movies.

Now Hollywood is looking into making a GI Joe movie...with GI JOE standing for "Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity." Instead of being "the Real American Hero," GI Joe will operate out of Brussels, or if out of America, they will be answerable to the United Nations.

The truth is that international military forces have a meager record of operations...the UN has accomplished nothing militarily, and even their humanitarian operations have largely been shameful affairs.

What is wrong with Americans being proud of America? Superman was a real American hero, raised by farmers in Kansas. GI Joe figurines were based on American soldiers, many of them astronauts, presidents, and Medal of Honor recipients. GI Joe is an American tradition that celebrates the honor and nobility of the American soldier. There is no reason to change that. No matter how much the press loves to inflate stories like what happened at Abu Garaib, those types of incidents are in the vast minority among our soldiers. The average American soldier is brave, honorable, and should be honored by each and every red-blooded American.

I'm beginning to think that it's time for real Americans to start boycotting the garbage coming out of Hollywood. Despite the fact that their movies continue to do poorly at the box office, Hollywood continues to release movies filled with their own political message - everything from children's movies like Happy Feet (which at its core was about glorifying the UN while pushing an environmentalist agenda) to slipping political agenda messages into otherwise enjoyable films, to out-and-out propaganda films either presenting an anti-war message, presenting America as a corrupt tyranny, or denouncing capitalism. The recent film The Kingdom, which I almost went to see in theaters because the previews looked good, had at its core the message that our government is no better than Islamo-fascist terrorist scum. At one point in our history, that kind of propaganda would be considered treasonous. Part of me longs for those days.

The truth is, Hollywood doesn't like real America. They think there's something wrong with people who love their country and think the US is an honorable nation. Little by little, they're trying to propagandize Americans, bringing Americans around to their twisted point of view.

Personally, I'm going to keep tabs on this GI Joe film. If they keep GI Joe as a tool of international interests, not only will I skip the film, but I'll tell all of my friends that they shouldn't go (frankly, I may just skip this one altogether, just to protest the initial idea). Hollywood sees itself as anti-establishmentarian. Well, it's time that we normal people started fighting the Hollywood establishment. Sometimes, bucking tradition can be a good thing, but there is a line. It is possible to go to far. And Hollywood crosses that line just about every time a new film is released. There's no reason we should put up with it.
