Instead of a less powerfull America, he should have wished for more powerfull Rogaine. That's what I would have done if I were him.

Opie has obviously made too much money...

So, Opie Cunningham has a better perception militarism because he has worked with European crews and actors.

Wow.  I'm awestruck.

Now, if he will explain what being progressive means and toward what we are progessing, I will sleep better.

It looks as if every "male" out of Hollywood is about as yellow bellied as you can get.  Do they give estrogen to the men in Hollywood? 

This coward thinks that the U.S.negotiated for everything we have.  We negotiated with the Germans (twice) and the Japs.  Not to mention the British.

Well, he is safe to spout this nonsense because stronger men then him have made it safe for him to do so.  However, if "men" like him continue with this attitude (obama) stronger men will come and take what is rightfully ours.

I've actually spent a lot more time in Europe and working with crew members and actors and understanding how they live and how they think and they grow up.

I guess he means BRITISH CREWS -- certainly for The Da Vinci Code.

In that case, I can say he's a deluded idiot when it come to the "working-class" types who work as Grips, Foleys, Set Builders, et al on British sound stages and on location. (And yes, I do know what I'm talking about being a working-class lad who shot a TV ad at Shepperton Studios)

Although heavily unionized, these guys (invariably men) are typical "working class" Tories (conservative). As they are in Australia. The older onhes voted for Maggie Thatcher to a man.

If he really understood them, he'd hear their talk about how the UK was being ruined by socialists. How an orgy of unrestrained immigration into a country slightly smaller than Oregan was destroying their national identity. How crime was out of control. How their taxes were going through the roof.

Oh -- little stuff like that. The SUPER-RICH actors, on the other hand. Well, they love Obama.

Oh and Ron -- do you REALLY think that some lowly stage hand is going to "argue" with you about "politics" -- or just nod and mutter "whatever you say, guv."

This is Pauline Kael Syndrome -- the dimwit who didn't know ANYONE on the Upper East Side who voted for Nixon.

What a elitist jerk Howard is to even say this rubbish.

When filming in Pinewood for months, I bet you and Tom and Sir Ian didn't actually go to dinner parties in some bigwig's Buckinghamshire house with the CREW. Or take lunch at the Savoy, or Langan's with the Gate checker.

Opie’s hair and brains fell out at the same time. See, his hair was directly connected to his brain and so you can now see the results. Shame, he seemed to have so much potential when he lived in Mayberry as a young boy.

I thought Opie was a fictional character.

Where is Aunt Bea when you need her? Opie needs a good scolding and should be sent to his room! It just goes to show you the influence the Hollywood Commie Libs have. He, no doubt, is now affecting young minds the same way his was infected by this progressive, aka communist idealism. Where does anyone get the idea you're safer by being weaker? Most of these libs subscribe to the Evelution Theory of which the number one tenet is "Survival of the Fittest!" This is the hipocrisy of these loons. They taylor every thought to satisfy their beliefs. A good example is:

     Capital punishment is cruel and unusual punishment, killing  animals for fur is cruelty at its worse, but partial birth abortion is OK becomes a woman has a right to choose!

There is no logic with their reasoning. Reasonable thought usually has a logical path to its conclusion.

Since Aunt Bea is no longer alive, perhaps Sheriff Andy can give his rebellious son a butt kick or two!     

I yearn for a less dependent America one "not driven by celebretism"

Liberal: remove all that's Right, and this is what's Left.

I hate this 'progressive' nonsense. I believe that to many liberals it is a code word for socialist and socialism. The socialist group in Congress that many democratics belonged to was renamed the progressive caucus, an acknowledgement that they didn't want the label socialist. Yet they retain their links to the DSA, Democratic Socialists of America, and their mother group, Socialist Internationale.

On the other hand if you look back to the early part of the 20th Century at the original Progressive movement, it was more fascist than socialist. Liberals would have nothing to do with the word if our government education system taught what that movement was about.

For the less informed voter it's nothing more than a vague touchy-feely happytalk word, like motherhood. Liberals try to equate 'progressivism' with other kinds of progress that are generally good, like technical progress. Like Obama himself, it allows believers to see whatever they want in it.

“at a certain point I don't think we'll be so consumed with being
the pre-eminent super-power and, you know, driven by sort of militarism
and this need to export, you know, democracy.”

Ron, there is always going to be a country that is considered the "super-power".  The "go to" country when another country is in need.  Just who would you rather that super-power be?  Russia?

Ron Howard said, "...I don't think we'll be so consumed with being the pre-eminent super-power and, you know, driven by sort of militarism and this need to export, you know, democracy." 

In my humble opinion, Mr. Howard is a dolt.  The reason we export democracy is so that we never have to import tyranny.

Last Monday, I was lucky enough to talk to Dennis Prager on his radio show.  I said that Lefties view the projection of American power as bad & provocative and the projection of American weakness as good & NOT provocative.  Well, we here in Japan don't see it that way.  Kim Jong Il is taking Obama's Jimmy Carter impersonation as a direct invitation to push boundries and escalate hostilities.  And as he does this, sales for fallout shelters continue to climb.  Hey!  That means that Obama is actually helping a private sector industry grow and prosper.  Who woulda thunk it!?

Anyway, Mr. Prager's response to my comment was very interesting.  He compared the geo-political world to the natural world in that they both abhor vacuums.  As we become LESS "consumed with being the pre-eminent super-power" others will naturally become MORE consumed.  When we forfeit the reigns of power, people who are less good and less moral will be the first to take them from us.

Incidentally, I'd like to say this to Mr. Howard:

I wish we weren't so consumed with being the pre-eminent movie making super-power and, you know, driven by some sort of auteurism and this need to export, you know, movies.

Opie forgets that his freedom to make movies with Europeans is because we freed the bastards over there from the tyranny of the Germans and Russians. He forgets the term "peace through strength".

So we get to find out the hard way by letting Opie and others vote in a Mutt like Obama who just wilts and will weaken us. We will get run over from other socialist and communist countries. Lets see him make a film about "whatever he wants" when they cut his head off.

Oh, we will go broke first

Opie: Pa?

Sheriff Taylor: Yeah Opie?

Opie: Remember I told you about that bully at school?

Sheriff Taylor: Yes, I hope you've been keeping away from him like I told you.

Opie: Yes Pa, I have, but there's this new kid at school, he's kinda scrawny, but when that bully tried to take his lunch money he just up and gave him a bloody nose. That poor bully started bawling like a scared cat. I think that's wrong!

Sheriff Taylor: Well, Opie, I told you to try to avoid trouble but not to run away from a fight. It sounds like that new boy did the right thing.

Opie: But Pa, that poor bully was crying and his nose was bleeding, and everybody was laughing at him, don't you feel sorry for him? I'm just mad as heck at that new kid!

Sheriff Taylor: Why Opie, I'm surprised at you. Haven't I taught you anything? Why would you feel sorry for that bully who picks on people?

Opie:  Well Pa,  our new teacher, Ms. Smith says that bully just needs our understanding and that will solve everything.

Sheriff Taylor: Ms. Smith did you say? Hmm I'm going to have to look into this. Maybe Aunt Bea was right about that homeschooling thing.

lost his mind when he lost his hair.

I love the way wealthy left wingers who never worked a REAL job can spout off about his hate for spreading Democracy.

For his information, the rest of the world has asked our military to be stationed in their countrys.

I'll never watch another movie he makes. Come to think of it, I hated Happy Days anyway. 

"Driven by militarism"?  Is he talk about the U.S. or Napoleonic France?

What 'militarism'?  MacArthur, Patton, Eisenhower and other officers dared not wear their U.S. Army uniforms in public as long ago as the 1930s and remember the fond welcome homes that our GIs got coming back from Vietnam and with Korea it was like, "What war?".  Even during the Civil War people were amazingly insulated from it if they chose to be.

This guy is living in the '60s.  Quite remarkable.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 61% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory (yep...approval for Congress now at 39%...do you believe that!?).

I often hear people say “America has seen better days” and wonder what they are talking about. We have been living in the best of times materially. Food, shelter and clothing in abundance more than any other nation in history has ever achieved period. Yes there are the have-nots but they are better off than ever also. Yes there are many improvements to be accomplished but to think there is a better system does fit any historical evidence. Someone should point to it if there is so we can all verify that it is indeed fact and no one has. To think being number one is accomplished through weakness is ridiculous. Being number one requires practicing responsibility and leadership which is difficult for human beings to practice unless there is a framework and the closest ever to exist is our Constitution. The President takes an oath of office which in part states “…and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Is that what is happening?

Howard should move to a cute little boutique country like Belgium or Luxembourg - we're not a boutique country - our size alone won't allow us to be one even if we all wanted it.

Poor Ron Howard...Like the rest of his entertainment industry and Hollyweird brethren, he's been doing the backstroke through the Kool-Aid. Some of his comments are just so ridiculous, I wonder if he actually listens to himself when he speaks...“at a certain point I don't think we'll be so consumed with being the pre-eminent super-power and, you know, driven by sort of militarism and this need to export, you know, democracy.” Oh yes, Ron...Democracy is a terrible thing to export...Socialism and Communism are much more preferable forms of government to see propagated...

Howard then goes on to share where he has attained this well thought out "wisdom"...“I've actually spent a lot more time in Europe and working with crew members and actors and understanding how they live and how they think.” Howard predicted “our lives are going to be better” because “we're going to be more progressive.”  Yes, Mr. Howard...European actors and film crew members are just the brain-trust we in America should be taking our cues from. Howard is typical of the leftist loons who believe that Europeans have the correct bead on everything, and that the European way of government and society, is the right way. I have a suggestion for Mr. Howard...I think he should leave the US immediately, so he will not have to endure our pre-eminent, super-power, democratic militarism one minute longer...He'd be much happier in, say, France.

I'd be glad to help him pack...

"Can no one imagine there's a way of life better than ours, or interesting ideas to be investigated? There's nothing to be learned from anyone else on this planet?"

 I many times fantasize about lying under a beautiful starlit sky as men run through our encampment slashing people with their machetes or boating out to tankers and seizing them. How about sitting in the plaza and watching the cartel kill each other. Oh where are "The Missing" today, just when you need them. Lord I haven't had sleeping sickness for years or had my sister devoured by a crocodile. And what could be better than being the only person in town who knows how to read.

Life is good! There is so much to learn. (Including Spanish, right here at home.)

Bal--you have lost it. Since your girly man party won, you have been less than gracious and , at times, have spoken from the rear. 

Yeah... like I want to "learn" from people who started World War 1 & World War 2 that killed easily over 150 million (counting those killed by disease as well)

It was the people in the United States that STOPPED the europeans from more killing and we have been stopping them ever since
