Thus Spake Russ

Chris Johnson of Midwest Conservative Journal links to a must-read column by conservative filmmaker Jason Apuzzo.
Hollywood has chosen sides in the war against islamofascism. It’s not our side.

“American Dreamz.” This ’satire’ from Universal Pictures deals with Pakistani suicide bombers out to kill the US president. The film stars Hugh Grant, Richard Dreyfuss, Willem Dafoe and Mandy Moore. According to writer-director Paul Weitz (“American Pie”), “The film is a comic examination of … cultural obsessions” like the War on Terror “and how they can anaesthetise us to the actual issues of our day.”

“The actual issues of our day” according to Weitz [a name the islamonazis would surely take note of] do not, apparently, include the concern that there are people out there who would just as soon decapitate everyone in Hollywood as look at them.
And that’s just one of many like-minded movies in the production sewer pipe pipeline. The movie studios have apparently decided to disregard their customers’ sensibilities (and that whole “profit” thing) for the sake of better reviews from the likes of Roger Ebert and the accolades of Eurotrash nancy-boys at Cannes (and the Eurotrash-wannabee nancy-boys at Sundance.) They prefer to make anti-American propaganda than to risk the chance that a pro-American film might be seen as supporting President Bush. One wonders what they would be doing if Kerry had been elected.
Either way, John Wayne wouldn’t have put up with crap like that.
To take the late Douglas Adams slightly out of context, people like those who green-lighted these projects are “a bunch of mindless jerks who will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.” And they’ll have no idea why anyone should be so upset.
Russell Wardlow has more commentary.

[Updated]
When Columbia was lost 2½ years ago, one of the first reactions of the insane far left was “MIHOP,” the idea being that President Bush had conspired towards the destruction of the shuttle (possibly with the intent of blaming sabotage for the tragedy) in order to raise the general patriotism and Israel-friendliness (due to the loss of Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon) of the country in the run-up preceeding Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Democratic Underground:

Now that we are sufficiently distracted by the shuttle disaster….
What’s bush up to?
I am not afraid to say this –

Heavens, why not? Don’t you know we’re coming to get you?†

I guess bush’s SOTU speech went over so poorly, he needed a disaster to distract us from his horrible actions and lies.
I am getting sick of this bull. How many more Americans must die for bush to look legit? How often will he need to kill to keep up his legitimacy?
How convenient that the first Israeli citizen was on the shuttle, too. Everybody rally behind Sharon and don’t question or speak against him, either.

Sick, utterly sick. And monstrous… and demented, in the most etymologically literal sense of the word.
Today, at least, the worst that can be said of them so far is that they’re joking about a woman driver missing the mark by 3000 miles.
So far – the day is young.
Update, 6:50pm: The infighting there is mostly about what might be broadly described as “women’s accomplishments” it’s a hoot. But I honestly expected there to be some sort of Bush/Rove-oriented conspiracy-mongering, along the lines of “well, they didn’t need dead astronauts this month for their political ends, but it’s lucky for the Discovery crew that they flew now instead of before [political event X].”
The DUmmies really are insane.

* “Made it happen on purpose.”
† The brave souls at DU repeatedly advertise their lack of fear, as if some sort of Rove-controlled hit squad was out there “disappearing” people who speak their minds. That’s how completely insane some of them are over there.

Today would be a good day to re-read Bill Whittle’s Courage.
