It should be considered as enemy propaganda, and the people who produced it should be prosecuted as traitors or terrorists.

When producers of a show put on people like that, I stop watching the shows altogether. I won't even give the show my viewing contribution. Sure I know one person doesn't matter, but it's my little way of speaking my peace.

I'm at the point where I've almost stopped watching TV altogether. I'll watch the news for an hour or so and maybe a ball game if I'm interested, but I stopped watching network TV ages ago.

Anyone remember The Day After Tomorrow's villain in the White House?  Dead ringer for Dick Cheney, down to the bald head and wire-rimmed glasses.They think they are being cute and witty and intellectual, when they are only showing the majority of the nation how out of touch with the mainstream of the country that they are supposed to be entertaining.  They've stopped selling their product (their performances) to us and begun trying to force some other unwanted product on the American public.  If you like Whole Milk and then the store starts putting Butter Milk in the Whole Milk bottles and tells you that it's Whole Milk and you'll get nothing else from the store, it's time to start shopping somewhere else.  Ticket sales from the last 20 years prove this out.  They are panicking and this is the extreme left's only remaining recourse - propaganda for the Left.  They've all but given up on simply entertaining us.  They started feeling they had some right to use their position as an entertainer to preach to the rest of the country what values to have.  Unfortunately they, like many shallow philosophy holders, have underestimated the depth of the values of most Americans.  Leftist, libertine-ism, and neo-Marxism aren't any of those American values.  And the money, or lack thereof, not flowing into Hollywood shows this.The argument you always hear is that they are only giving America what the box-office says they want.  That is a lie because the ticket sales of G and PG rated family movies has dwarfed most R rated movies and has all but erased the anti-war movies that have come out in the late several years.  If they keep making anti-war anti-American movies that bomb financially, then it can only mean one thing if they keep making them - they have an agenda that we fly-over bumpkins just haven't bought into yet.  So they'll just keep pounding them out until the attitudes begin to change in their direction.  Propaganda 101.The Hollywood-ite attitude is very close to the attitude that the nobility of old Europe had towards the peasants, in times past.  They know what's best for the "people" even if the people don't want it.  It's partly our own fault for elevating Hollywood actors to the level of "American nobility" in our culture.  How else could this have played out in any other way? A bunch of egocentric, shallow, insecure, millionaires, who have more adulation and money heaped on them than they warrant, with very little to distract themselves from their sycophantic groupies; have an entire information industry built up around their every action and word, who then turn their inordinate amount of leisure time coupled with large sums of money to indulge themselves to no end, acquire a messianic attitude toward whatever their personal charity or cause is, and then feel that they must make everyone else feel the same toward that particular charity or cause.  Couple that with the deterioration of the news media into nothing more than news tabloidism that blends with the Hollywood tabloidism and politics tapping into the misplaced affection by voters of these Hollywood-ites and you have a small segment of the American culture with a huge amount of power over what information gets to the people and in what form.Read the Communist Manifesto and the Communist Goals (1963) [Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35] if you want insight into the political philosophies being pushed by these groups.  Also if you want to get a refresher in the true American Ideals rooted in the founding of our country, check out The Twelve Basic American Principles.  I wonder if any politicians these days know any of this directly?

Lifetime Network is so five years ago.  This brand of subtlety is more like ABC's Boston Legal, Desperate Housewives, Brothers and Sisters, and Grey's Anatomy.  The loathsome, overbearing, uncaring lout is always a conservative or Republican.

Just last week, on Grey's Anatomy, a bratty teen girl "prayed to God" and found that He would want her to be PomPom captain while the other  PomPom girl captain lay injured.  Thanks, ABC.  I'd've never been able to see that Christians are always selfish, loutish people without your keen insight and witty writing.

candance,

Well that certainly fits in with the news that Linda Elerbee (sp) does for kids on that network. Disgraceful!

KC, you may find it surprising, interesing, or perhaps dubious, but I am acquainted with several liberals--and I suppose, if the term is very broadly defined, the label may also be fairly attached to me--yet not a single one of them, nor I, harbor even the slightest sentiment inconsistent with an unwavering love of this country and a profound respect for its military.

As such, it's especially distressing...galling...that this [reportedly] repellent piece of celluloid trash, aside from all of its other malignant influences, may serve to fraudulently "authenticate" the conservative vision of the stereotypical liberal--an America-hating, military-hating force of evil.  That is a fiction.  That is a lie.  DePalma's movie is indeed a sick fantasy.  But it is not "liberal".

Over the years I have seen "Scarface" ... A couple times in full ... most times post-chain saw in the motel shower scene ... {UGH!}

I do believe DePalma is privately into S & M ...

Anyhow, I have always gotten the impression "Tony" really wanted his younger sister for himself in that movie ... And I think she figured it out too by the end ... just before getting gunned down.

Sick. Sick. Sick.

One: Sitting in their energy-wasting giant mansions, they feel guilty about being well-off Americans and don't know how to deal with it.

Two (more importantly): No marine is going to show up at their house or at a red-carpet event to frag them.  Abdul will.  (Or rather, he would if that marine weren't there preventing it.)

He's nothing but a wuss. He isn't allowing anymore comments on that particular posting and there are only 45 comments. I'm sure he got a lot more and just deleted them and blocked comments after that.

He is definitely feeling the heat if he is blocking comments, which proves that he is just a whiny baby. I did contact him though.
