Or was he being serious?

Since when is rejecting elitism a liberal ideal? Look at the academic and social pedigrees of the Democratic leadership. Or, for that matter, those who are running the universities. Doesn't get more elitist than that.

Tolerance? One word response: Christians.

As for interracial dating; Libs seem to obsess over what categories people belong to. Is that how they choose their partners too? Silly me for wasting my time dating women I found interesting.

Since HBO is not part of basic cable and satellite packages and Disney is, couldn't we also argue that The Sopranos would have drawn 3x what they did, when you compare Disney's market penetration?

FIRST of all, I'd like to point out the fact that being a 'movie critic' is only for the superficial, self centered, and arrogant, and should hardly be considered a profession. Agreed?  Ok. 

Now, what did he say again?  Roeper who? 

The American Revolution Continued

Nothing like a bold definitive opinion that includes "it could be argued." It's also cowardly to hide your own opinion behind a "parent and certified Disney-phile" (which, I suppose, bestows absolute moral authority). Look, if you want to make a statement about conservatives or religious people, make it plainly. Don't take a cheap shot and hide.

I'm disappointed. Roeper even had a decent argument going, before he ruined it by choosing liberal sarcasm instead of analysis. Hollywood has room for family-friendly movies, as well as adult movies, and there's no reason why we can't have both. That argument fails, of course, because conservatives don't dislike adult themes. However, we do oppose targeting adult themes at children and families, which Hollywood does all the time.

BTW, did you catch that the Disney-phile contrasted "family-friendly" with tolerance and interracial dating? What does that tell you? 

I kind of think that someone that makes their living working for a think tank is an elitist.

Hmmm. Evidently stereotyping is a liberal theme as well.

Roeper's comments got a bit out of whack, there, but I think he's responding to Bozell's annoying tone more than anything else.

Yes, there's an audience, but HM is an exception, not a rule. If it was, then 7th Heaven would never go off the air, nor American Dreams, etc.
