I will say that when I was told who was going to play Snake Plissken, my initial reaction was ''Oh, man!'' [Russell winces]. I do think that character was quintessentially one thing. And that is, American... messing with Snake Plissken is a whole different level of heresy... People come up to me and say, ''You played Snake Plissken.'' I didn't play Snake Plissken, I created him! ...What if they asked you to do a cameo in the new Escape from New York, or play the Ernest Borgnine role?
F--- that! I am Snake Plissken! It's like Sean Connery always watching someone else do their version of Bond.... He's a fascinating character. In fact, he's the most complex character I've ever played.

Certain roles = certain actors. Steve McQueen = The Blob Kurt Russell = Escape from New York This is CRITICAL for sanity. Right? Right!!

Hell, even McGyver made a better Jack O'Neil.
Kurt was also the weakest link in Tombstone.
Grindhouse looks promising, however.

However, I think banning Kurt Russel from playing Snake again might be fitting punishment for the "surfing" scene from the Escape sequel.
What's an even bigger horror is Will Smith playing the Charlton Heston role from Omega Man. What's next, Jack Black playing the Alec Guiness role of Col. Nicholson in a remake of "Bridge on the River Kwai"?!?!?

But I don't agree with his philosophy of ethics.
Myself, I cann't imagine "correct" ethics without belief in the Supremacy of the Almighty.
[Incidentally, the God that I believe in doesn't have to bribe me with promises of 72 virgins and such. His grace alone suffices me in both this world and the next.]

Indeed, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the oath of allegiance in your country does invoke the Name of the Almighty; does it not?
And would it not be fair to say that the spirit of Citizenship and Duty flow from the spirit of that oath?
Sorry, I don't mind to sound preachy. I'm just a moralist.

"God shed his grace on thee" I'm there. Honestly, God is the most powerful force in any case. Having given us free will, he has left us to make responsable choices, and he has also left us responsability to protect ourselves, and the gifts he gave us. Whether you believe in God or not, a wolf will likely eat you if you are not strong enough to kill it. Likewise a tyrant will enslave you if you are not strong enough to disuade him. Likewise, self destructive, delusional hedonists will drag you down with them, if you do not break thier grip upon you. God helps those who honor him, by helping themselves in the first place. it builds our character

Although KSM's voluminous confessions on high-profile terrorist acts have received plenty of coverage, I was a bit surprised to see that the reports omitted several of KSM's more surprising claims.
Most stories failed to mention, for example, KSM's claims that he... more...

Wait till they find out this is a picture from Roosters honeymoon....... Enough publicity for this f*cker ( judge darth encounter astrick...lucky he takes bribes!) all ready. That's a mistake. Even with this rooster glamor shot, he shouldn't get the face time, it encourages others as a reward for murder. And that's just in our own part of the world. Remember that many of the drones can't read and rely on pictures. It shows how being educated carries with it an obligation to present the truth to those unable to learn for themselves. Must be nice to be as care free as the Rooster......runnin around the barn yard, little wings flappin and crowin at the moon.....of course here on Grand Isle, we don't have any chickens so we use sea gulls and broken down old white pelicans......

#3 on his greatest hits against the great satan, right after WTC93 and 9/11. Which stands alone in being redacted by the Pentagon when clearly bullshit (Bali), previously undisclosed, and nuclear-reactor-scary plots were not.
So I'm guessing you could probably add TWA-800 to your list or one of the 90s ME bombings attributed to a different foe. Less funny.

I don't generally don't go in for conspiracy theories. But Peter Lance's "Triple Cross" account of the one-man al-Qaeda superman is a pretty far out there conspiracy theory tale until you verify that Ali Mohammed did precisely everything he said.
100% of anyone would call that conspiracy theory bullshit till they learn it isn't. Thing is he wrote about Yousef organising TWA-800 from prison too.
2 guys with a hobby of putting bombs on planes. One goes to jail and tries to use TWA-800 for a mistrial. What else would the 2nd guy rate that high and the Pentagon not want to have to deal with discussing.

As you know, I wasn't going to see the movie for fear that it would be a 2 hour advertisement for joining the gays. You know, something about a bunch of guys prancing around in banana hammocks that creeps me out. To quote Sarah Silverman: it doesn't really matter if you're homosexual or bisexual--both are equally gross.
But watching Sout al-Kuffar's mash-up today, I said to myself, self, let's go see that movie. You are on vacation, after all. And it was a kick ass mash up. So I went. I wasn't disappointed.
I know enough about history to know that the movie was terribly inaccurate. I also know enough about both Sparta that if given the choice of living under the Persian yoke or the Spartan yoke, I'd gladly take Persia.
But this movie was fiction. No, more than fiction. This movie was propaganda.
But longtime readers know how much I believe in the necessity of propaganda. Propaganda is neither good nor bad. Propaganda is about adding purpose to ideas. It is only when either those purposes or those ideas are bad, that propaganda becomes a problem.
There was no hidden agenda in "300". It was not a "metaphor" about Western Civilization standing up against the Asiatic hordes. There is no Rorschach effect here as I thought going into the movie--Leftists and Islamist apologists seeing the Persians as a metaphor for U.S. imperialism, while those on the Right and Liberals of all stripes seeing Sparta as representing the U.S. fight against Islamofascism.
Not hidden, but explicitly stated. The characters come right out and say that Sparta is protecting Enlightenment principles of reason, freedom, and liberty from the "Asiatic hordes". They actually use those words--"Asiatic hordes".
And, what did the "Asiatic hordes" look like? Muslim jihadis.
And, no, I'm not reading anything into the movie here. That is exactly what they looked like. Not the leaders, but the warriors. All except the Persian "Immortals", who were obviously modeled after Japanese Samurais--down to their swords.
The vast majority of Persian warriors looked like this:

You're telling me I'm "reading something into that"?
Or how about these guys, with more than a passing resemblance to Hamas fighters or any number of would-be shahids about to commit suicide?

And the dialogue? Puh-lease! It's absolutely thick with the notion that the Spartans are fighting for freedom and liberty defined exactly in the Western Enlightenment sense of those terms. The dialogue consists of only three themes: liberty, sacrifice, and gay jokes. And the monologues are strictly about the first two.
Any Leftist, Islamist, or other hater of Western values who saw this as a "metaphor" for oppressed people around the world fighting against the vastly superior power of the U.S. is simply deluded.
Sometimes a rose is just a rose. And sometimes the rose is a metaphor for something else. But I got news for you: a picture of a giant penis isn't a metaphor for something phallic. It is phallic.
I'm not even going to explain the larger point of this great piece of propaganda. It is simple and straight forward: Western civilization is worth fighting for.
There are some more subtle messages in their, too. Like: Professional warriors fight and die so that people like you and me can become philosophers, artists, and politicians.
Oh, there's more. Much more.
The propaganda, it is oh-so-beautiful. It rivals anything put out by Republic Pictures or Warner Brother's animation during WWII. Heroic Americans fight the Hunnish/Asiatic hordes (many seem to forget that it wasn't until after WWII that our movies redeemed the "Germans" by separating them from the "Nazis"---part of the Cold War propaganda effort).
In fact, I'll go out on a limb and compare this to Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible, Part I--that classic piece of Soviet propaganda which artfully legitimized the Stalinistic purges as an effort to consolidate state power in the face of a foreign menace (Ivan as Stalin, the boyars as anti-revolutionary forces, and the Turks as the Germans). And who would argue that Eisenstein's masterpiece wasn't needed to help the war effort? Or Bugs Bunny? Or John Wayne?
No, "300" brings us back to the good-old days of propaganda. When propaganda was produced in support of our country. When propaganda was produced to remind us that we are the good guys and that our ideals are better than the ideals of our enemies.
Go see "300". If you don't like it you probably hate America. That, or you're gay.

When Spartan males were first sent off to battle, their rite of passage was that they were given a shield by their mothers, who told them to return victorious or return as a corpse. Spartan men who refused to fight for their city state were killed as traitors.
In other words, Spartan culture was entirely centered on patriotism and strength. They killed off their weak and celebrated the strong, and so these 300 should be heroes because they were strong.
If only America had such patriotism.

The "spartans did bad thing 'x,' so therefore we shouldn't emulate them in any aspect" makes as much logical sense as "Hitler was a vegetarian, therefore we should not be vegetarians." Makes for useful snark, but it isn't an argument.
Tell you what "Warrior," why don't you pick one culture or nation in history that accomplished something or just exhibited some particular characteristic trait YOU think we should emulate, and then we'll all make sarcastic comments about the repugnant aspects of that culture, without uttering a single word actually rebutting you.
Then QC and I will engage in a week long circle jerk, and all will be right in the universe.

The West has traditionally demonized Sparta and celebrated Athens for being enlightened, but I think they had it wrong. Athens was weak and politically correct, and their "philosopher kings" were unrealistic. Leo Strauss reminds us that righteousness is really the ability to impose your will upon others, and that sometimes we need to lie to achieve our ends.
So I say that this should be a lesson to the traitorous left. They say that Bush lied - I say we should thank Bush for his lies, because if they are lies, they are rallying us to victory over the enemy.

Let's not create a caricature. If we're to interpret this as propaganda, and compare America to the Spartans, it's that only the strong can succeed in America. People who were failures, outcasts, cast-off remnants of other nations came together to form the strongest nation in existence.
America has a collection of all the misfits, anarchists, communists, and others who have had to flee their home nations. Those who were strong survived, those who were not moved to Canada (A joke, I don't want to attract any Canadian death-squads).
On the other hand, let's not pretend this aspect was immaterial. It was the foundation of the Spartan ethos. However, it has little to do with the story.
This is about an Ethos that is so powerful to capture warriors who have been hardened from Birth on. It is an Ethos that has captured the strongest, the hardest, the most vicious and the most terrible as well as the wisest. This Ethos is Freedom, Liberty, Honor, and Glory. The Spartans, who kept slaves, compared themselves to the Persians, where every man was a personal Slave to the Tyrant who ruled. In Sparta there were few Free Men (All free men were in the military, everyone else were primarily slaves), but in Persia there were no Free Men.
THAT is the difference. This can truly be a story between America and the Mujhadeen in this sense: America is not perfect. America is not utopia. But America is damn, DAMN better than they are.
We may have few Free Men, but they have none. And Three-Hundred gives them a face to go with the souls that worship death.
Posted by: Berkeley Non-Conformist at March 14, 2007 01:33 PM (djoRJ)
not only are you confused about that, but also the spartans were largely responsible for extinguishing the world's first democratic government and turning it into an oligarchic tyranny. so i guess it is fitting that the jawas would engage in spartan cock worship...y'all dont give a damn about democracy...only war as a spectator sport.
sure...enjoy this pro-america propaganda...if it makes you feel like men for an hour and a half by all means watch it. i thought it was a good movie too...but it condemns bushxerxes more than you want to admit.

Really. You're not even a good Moby Troll.
My knowledge of Strauss' specific writings is extremely limited, so I'm not going to challenge your claim that Strauss actually thought this. Assuming he actually said that, I can't think of a single prominent "neo-con" Strauss fan who would actually embrace that notion. It is certainly elitist and morally reprehensible.
"By any means necessary" is a concept I only hear coming from the left at the moment. If you truly are a Strauss follower, could you identify some prominent leader who actually fits your model of righteousness?

Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. Both leaders used "noble lies" that saved millions of lives.
I can't think of a single prominent "neo-con" Strauss fan who would
actually embrace that notion. It is certainly elitist and morally
reprehensible.
The fact is that political leaders must necessarily tell a convincing story, sometimes a false one, in order to gain support for what is necessary. Themistocles, the commander of the navy that gave Leonidas cover, knew that the Persians were going to invade, but his people would not support a naval build-up. So he LIED to his people and told them that another city-state was planning to fight them for resources, and as a result he got the ships he needed.
Plenty of supporters for the liberation of Iraq argue that it doesn't matter why President Bush SAID that we went to war, only that we DID go to war. Do you disagree with that?
Posted by: Warrior at March 14, 2007 02:38 PM (HXMaW)
So necons lie to achieve their ends, just like you're lying right now about being a rightwinger to achieve yours. You see, Leftards lie all the time to achieve their ends. No wonder they always cite Strauss.
Posted by: Jesusland Carlos at March 14, 2007 02:44 PM (8e/V4)
No, I just think that the story of the battle at Thermopylae shows that sometimes we have to fight dirty. It vindicates the Spartan culture. Strauss, along with Carl Schmitt, remind us that when we face great challenges that winning is the most important thing. The war against Islamo-fascism is the greatest threat that America has ever and will ever face, and yet people are afraid to say that we need to do what it takes to win. Even supporters of the war SAY that we should do whatever it takes, yet they do everything they can to say that we don't torture people. Perhaps we do engage in real, unrestricted and brutal torture, not just the stuff that people pass off as "frat pranks," and perhaps the government is lying about it to keep support of the war up. Is that a problem?
Posted by: Warrior at March 14, 2007 03:05 PM (HXMaW)
The Spartans didn't fight dirty, so it shows nothing of the kind.
Nor do we have to fight dirty to win this war. We just have to fight. But so far your Lefty pals have shown no willingness to do so.

And Warrior, you consider the left traitorous(a lot of them are), when there are those in the administration that spread Nazi, fascist values. Are they not traitors? Or should we point out a famous traitor, namely Prescott Bush? Let us not forget that he was doing business with Fritz Thiessyn throughout WW2? Should we support the grandson of a traitor, who has blood money in a trust fund set up for him by his grandfather?
Or are you saying we should support the nation state, regardless of who is in power, as Sparta would have been?

Two other movies come to mind that didn't get the same response but had a similar thread, Lord of the Rings and Conan the Barbarian. (Not to be confused with Gonad the Conehead starring Grey Rooster & Queen LaTeffa) Both could be interpeted as a stand against islam. Both made the point that is relevant and that being you have to cut the head off the leader for victory.

impose your will upon others,
This is the part I'm stuck on. I can see the "noble lie" under a lesser of evils justification (although the liar would still have to pay the penalty for lying - he would just recognize that the penalty was 'worth it').
But who actually think "might makes right?" And isn't that the opposite of the message in the 300, where the Persians won the battle despite being the bad guys?
You are getting your villains confused. Reagan and Thatcher were villains of the left because they are "moral absolutists." They believed in the existence of good and evil. You know, the whole "evil empire" speech which got panties twisted throughout Europe. That is the opposite of the 'Straussian' (as you describe him) notion that power is what defines morality and "righteousness."
Anyway, you seem to be honing your Moby ways, as you are at least trying to defend your position with argument rather than throwing out racial slurs (which is what most Moby's think is good 'conservative camouflage').

Okay.... you're going to quote the jefferson's to me? A spin off about a racsit who was a neighbor on another racists show? See this what I mean about it not going anywhere. I said in an old post that I thought it was kind of funny. Rooster, I don't give a rats butt one way or the other, you have every right to be as dumb as you want about race and I have that same right to laugh with or.. at you. Just try not to misquote me, if you would be so kind. Racism does not discriminate Rooster. Try reverse discrimination.
I said shake your hand or bitch slap. In other words, just as happy to get along as to kick your ass. Now, in this forum, it's all about words. It's too bad that people can't meet in the real world and share ideas about cultural things too. But, if we ever really for truesies get to play, you might want to check out some of the goodies that are out there in the playground that sambo is a very, very small part of, first. Is it that you just can't stand someone who's as black as the ace of spades has the same core values that you do about our country? Good God man, you might be wrong about things and if you base your lifes outlook on division, that's got to be pretty damn scary.

Any thoughts on the Lord of the Rings series being the same anti islam theme? Great fight scenes that remind me of the trailers of 300.

As for racism, I find no use for it. I don't like it when rcist arguements are used to attack, or injure me, and I don't like it when they are used to attack others. The reason I seldom comment about Rosster's position is that he often makes the excellent point that much of today's racism comes from "Black" organizations looking for a political advantage by pushing for more white guilt. They want to be paid off for slavery they didn't suffer under. CUTE!
I'd like to have them send me the blood money necessary to repay the cost in lives, that was paid by a whole lot of "white" people, to free the people who actually were slaves.
The slaves America freed at the cost of many hundreds of thousands of "white" lives are people decended from other people who got rounded up by thier own 'African' neighbors! They were sold at the coastline, to Muslim, and European traders. The "black" people who sold "black" people to "brown" people, and "white" people, when they didn't just keep them to be slaves for other "black" people. So it's a world of wolves! If anyone gets repairations paid for "white" crimes, I seek repairations for "white" lives lost fixing everyones mistakes, and freeing people.
wb and Greyrooster I both like. It's to bad that the ugliness of people in the past, of every "color" has to polute the dialogue of two people who agree more often than not, about the really big issues of the day.
When I was into Norse religion, someone made a racist attack against the "white supremecists" in the religion. The reply was basically, that Odin doesn't care if a man is black, white, or blue, as long as he acts like a man. Further, Odin doesn't need worship, because he is a God. What makes you think he requires your mortal validation? He has better things to worry about. We mortals also have better things to worry about then "color" of skin. Some things are really bigger than how dark your permanent tan is!
Unless someone makes thier race an issue, I say leave it off the table.
USA, all the way!

I just happen to be of different pigment and..... I live farther south than probably all of you. In a trailer, with a broken down 4rd pinto in the front. Now how bout sending your daughter on down to me? If you want to blast the rooster, don't shoot yourself in the foot to do it and don't pull me into your bullshit as I can start my own battles where and when I so choose. You see, I may be ignorant but I just happen to live in the south, it's not a requirement anywhere. But thank you any way, WB.
Posted by: wb at March 15, 2007 07:12 PM (2g5nL)
John Dork, as long as your for this country, and not against it, you go right on hating whoever you like.
For my part, I feel our situation is bad enough that warts like racism may not be as bg a concern as cancers like Jihad. I do not approve of racism. I do not approve of casual abortion. I do not aprove of teaching creationism as science, but I do approve of teaching it as a philosphy relating to science.
Except for the fact that I do equate abortion to the taking of human life, the rest of these things are warts. They are ugly, but they won't kill us. Cancer will kill us! Islam, traditional, fundamental, or radical, will kill us.
If greyrooster wants to argue with wb, it doesn't change that I like them both. it doesn't change the fact I'd trust either of them to watch my back against the greater enemy we all face. I'd expect them to stand side by side against that same enemy, even as they cussed each other out! In America we are suppossed to accept some differences, as long as in the end, when the line is drawn, we are Americans.
The people you despise, are Americans before anything else. I may find fault with things they argue for, but I do accept them as genuinely devoted to the nation, and it's well being.
If you John Dork are willing to put the USA before it's warts, and fight the existential foe, you and I are allies, even if we quibble about details. I welcome assholes of all kinds to come fight for his nation, against our imperialist enemy. We can all get drunk and fight about our little problems after we defeat the big one together.
I hope that clarifies things a bit.

For the record, another name for Arthur, King of the Britons, is "Wart", so put that in your pipe
I do believe in diversity, but not the leftist strangling kind. If we all disagree among each other as family, fine. But when an imperial enemy is sneaking across our border, its time to stop bitching about who did the dishes last, and pass out the kitchen tools! Work your way to the gun cabinet, and trade up. Get rid of the bandits in the night. The go back to fighting over the remote.
As I said once before, if I could aim Michael Moore in the right direction, I'd put him to work on my team. I'd even consider forgiving him. I think everyone knows I hate Michael Moore. By comparison most the lefties here are pretty nice guys. I don't think most of them consciously lie, like we know Michael Moore does.
After 9-11, there isn't much I won't do to our enemies, if it will stop them. There are few I wouldn't work with, if I knew it would hurt our enemies. We are at war. We can't be squeamish. Racists and Blacks fought against the Nazi's during WW2, so I see no reason they can't fight today's fascists together also.
If anyone here is a wart, it's me. I'm still cleaning up my life after all these years. Being an 'asshole' was a badge of honor in my old, old crowd, so I'm not going to casually condemn anyone who is at least OK. I'll happily blast our common enemy with Ann Coulter and anyone else who is at least swinging in the right direction.
So it comes down to "United We Stand!" Warts, assholes, and whatever. We are still better than those we fight against. And what we fight for is better than the sum of it's parts. So here we stand warts and all!

this deficit in his character. People will never be able to come to terms with themselves and for that matter each other as long as they are in denial as to who and what they are about. There comes a point where bad behavior is just simply that, bad behaivor. I don't resent Max for disliking me, I don't think he's less than deserving of common decency but I do know that until Max owns up to his ignorance, he will never grow as a person and that takes some very destructive forms in our world. This islamic onslaught is a good example of what happens when people don't question the equality they seek to deny others. There are some who clammer for reperations and those, such as myself, who simpily want to be treated the same way as anyone else when they take equal responsibility for the equal rights to which we as Americans are all entitled. So with that being said, let me close with... fuck you max, the better part of you dripped down your mamas leg. Cheers!

I'll be seeing it again, in the theater, and that's saying something. 99% of the movies I watch, I wait for the DVD.
I won't debate the historical accuracy at all. It's a movie based on a graphic novel. Period. It's not a film adaptation of the works of Herodotus.
I give it two thumbs and a big toe up.
Rumor has it Rusty saw it today as well, and came away with the same opinion.

also. the ONLY thing i dont like about that movie is that it made the spartans look kinda.... stupid. the victory was far more intelligently strategical than this movie makes it out. but yeah, historical accuracy and whatnot. i just think they could have made this movie about any random battle and it would have done just as good.

Yes, they could have made this about any battle, but the creators chose this battle, which has significance to our current situation in the world. Did they chose it specifically as a comment to that affect? I don't know, but timing is everything.
For all of the faults that will be found with this film, I think it will remain popular with the American people for the allegory it poses.

Kingdom of Heaven.
or waggle to the feminists with joan of arc (being topless or something, of course)
Other than wiggling titties around, what would be the point of that one?
how about Genghis Khan's successful uniting of his people and training them as an incredibly powerful army?
Let's not forget the fact that they rampaged over the entire region, snuffing out entire peoples. I'm thinking that isn't a good equivalent for 300 and its message.
And the fact they wiped out entire peoples in their path?
or some of the fairly interesting japanese wars (had a damn lot for all
living on three smallish islands)
The Last Samurai.
the Vikings successful campaign
against the romans in britain and northern europe?
That would be an interesting one, seeing as how the Vikings didn't exist during the time of the Romans. They were a distinct pagan Scandinavian culture that developed, I believe, around the eighth century AD. So unless zombie Caesar and his undead legions were to spring out of the ground to fight them, I don't see it happening.
what i mean is you could just do it up with some brutal cgi and some dramatization and it would totally work.
I don't know if you've actually looked, but brutal violence and great CG does not a great movie make. If that were the case, Sin City would have made a lot more at the box office.
im kinda sick of hearing about ancient roman/greek civilizations, like the were the ONLY things to have existed then. >_>
Fair enough, but previous to Gladiator, which really kicked off the whole Grecco-Roman schtick in Hollywood, there hadn't been a memorable one made in decades. So, in seven years, you can count four movies made: Gladiator, Troy, Alexander, 300, and you could probably HBO's Rome series. Not really much of a glut by Hollywood standards.
you realize that i am not posting some sort of crazy liberal
contradictory view, right? i like war movies and i like cgi. i just
don't like rehashed ideas.
Let's consider this:
1. Gladiator: Telling the story a fictional general turned gladiator and his conflict against the corrupt and psychotic emperor of Rome, embodied in gladiatorial combat.
2. Troy: Recounting the Trojan War and the victory of the Greeks over Troy with their final deception.
3. Alexander: Recounting the life of Alexander the Great and his rise and fall.
4. 300: Telling a highly stylized account of the a long-odds battle of elite troops against an army of staggering size.
Those all sound like rehashed ideas to me...
theres lots of interesting graphic novel concepts that aren't even touched.
And against the backdrop of all the other superhero movies that were/are being made, wouldn't 300 fall into that category?
we dont need to do another troy/gladiator/etc movie.
As I believe I showed above, those are far from the same movie, unless you want to reduce them all the generalities. It seems to me that you've totally missed the point of the movie. Are all those other examples interesting? Sure. But all the ones you cited, save the Crusades, have neither the cultural or historical resonance to match the battle of Thermopylae. And can you cite one where a single battle was so pivotal or the odds so long (even by actual historical estimation)? All of those are interesting periods of history, but they aren't specific battles with great resonance that can be told in a two hour movie.

Well I happen to like the movies (old) about Ghengis Khan, so a new one would be cool I guess.
Yes "viking" culture was later than the single 'Roman' empire. The Northmen were getting around before that, but not strictly 'viking' which is more descriptive of the activities we associate with that word, including 'pillage'. I have read that some Northmen came down in time to help Charles Martel repel another epic invasion we should all know about. Thats a movie I'd like to see made.
I still think there is a special message in 'The 300' and that it is something from the artist in Frank Miller, striking a contrast between a war to defend, and a war to subjugate. As a rule, America isn't the one who starts wars. We aren't perfect, but our isolationist streak is a fairly strong one, even today.
If you look at how we are with even deadly enemies like Nazism, you can see we like to mind our own business as a people. We react badly when messed with. That's about it.
We are defenders. We defend the enviroment of western enlightenment. We have made a commitment to do so, even if we don't always feel like it. We could have forced the world to our mold, but at the price of some of the values we hold dear. So we wait, instead, and pray we see threats before they become to great.
Our enemy is a conquerer. Our enemy will infiltrate and corrupt us, or mass up and murder us outright, but the enemies goal remains the same despite whatever tactic is selected. Our submission is the goal. Especially OUR submission. When we are in submission, the world will fall along with us. We are the 'Spartans'.
The fact that freedom for this world, lives or dies with US, is an absolute. It is a pure truth. Someday, it may be that if we guard this responsability well, we can pass it on to a successor nation which shares our ideals, and will guard them as we have. That day is a long ways away, and will never come, if we fail in this dark time.
So without the benefit of special effects, or a cool soundtrack, here we are at the wall. Americans, at least some of us, with our allies. Aware of the true enemy, and knowing it is up to each of us to make our best effort, to do what needs done, and defend what needs defending!
Frank Miller is going on my list of everyday hero's. His pen is mighty indeed! He uses it for the good.
USA, all the way!

The British Isles were populated by groups like the Irish, Picti, Scotti, Attacoti, etc. Collectively, they were known as Celts. The Saxons and the Angles came later. Try this link for more info.

something from the artist in Frank Miller, striking a contrast between
a war to defend, and a war to subjugate.
I agree. I am going to see 300 this weekend, but the appeal of the story is that a small group of men are defending freedom against overwhelming odds, knowing full well that they will never live to see that freedom themselves.
It hits the same notes as the final battle of Saving Private Ryan, the "many days" speech from Braveheart, the Alamo, the St. Crispin's day speech from Henry V, the Magnificent Seven, and on and on. It doesn't even matter if the story is 100% fictional. It still is hitting the central theme that some men, better than us, are willing to sacrifice themselves so that we may be free.
Of course, lefturds see America as an evil oppressor, and so somehow the likes of Zarqawi are "freedom fighters" on the same moral level as the 300. The 300 specifically argues that the Spartan civilization, compared to the Persians, was better and the only one worth dying for. May not be historically accurate, but voicing the very notion that some cultures are better than others is the greatest sin imaginable to lefturds.
Victor David Hanson explained it better (this isn't his review, but a short commentary on the point I raised):

BILL [MAHER]: That's right Ann, you anorexic Nazi whore. Even though we are on opposite sides of the political fence we can both agree that Americans of all political stripes need to start walking back from the hateful rhetoric that unfortunately characterizes much of our contemporary political discussion.It gets better.ANN [COULTER]: I couldn't agree more Bill, you syphillitic commie scumnozzle. Because whether they are normal patriotic Americans or mincing San Francisco fudgepackers, all citizens of this country need to think first before using words intended to hurt or offend others.

Apparently tongues were wagging in both the British tabloids and in the Great White North that Bill Clinton was getting a little action from Canadian Liberal MP, Belinda Stronach---and nobody bothered to tell me! Shame on you.
Stronach is one of the wealthiest businesswomen in Canada and, apparently, has a nack for sleeping with the rich and or the famous. This includes a couple of hockey players and a former Conservative MP.
Stronach herself was a Conservative but jumped ship, dumped her Conservative MP, and last year she' was rumored to be doing the Lewinsky act on Bill Clinton. Let's hope she's washing those dresses!
And, to be honest, she's not half bad looking--especially by Bubba's standards. For once Clinton shows a bit of taste if not any class.
The tabloids cut to the chase: they called her the "blonde bombshell" or "Bubba's blonde."The money quote from the article:Bubba, of course, is Bill Clinton. He has been photographed with Stronach several times. The sightings seem to be getting more frequent, leading to press speculation that their relationship has moved beyond official "friendship" - the description used by Stronach's PR people - to true romance.
"Bill was always more interested in her money than her breasts."
That's a first! Anyway, this may be old news to most, but the article just came up in my gmail, and it's a first to me.....and oh so predictably funny!
UPDATE: Since some of you can't read, let me clarify--this is old news, and I'm pissed that no one e-mailed me this. And you call yourselves friends.......
oops, I just realized I used the present tense in a few sentences. My bad.

What do you think would have been the case on Iwo Jima if this requirement were in place for every incident when a firearm were discharged?
I also hear that if a person attacks a GI with his bare hands, the most lethal form of force he is authorized to use is his fucking knife!
One more thing. I cannot make the trip to DC on March 17 unless I either win the Megamillions or some rich cat in the Atlanta area with a private jet can fly me out there after my son's baseball game. BTW I am willing to pay for my return trip.

Islamic law only requires that a husband repeat the phrase "I divorce you" three times for a marriage to end.
The Jawa Report suspects this is Dubai's latest attempt to attract wealthy, mistress laiden, foreigners to the country. Under Islamic law a man may have several wives. And under some interpretations of Islamic law (for Shias, especially) a man may have a "temporary wife".
We can see rich and drunken celebraties flocking to Dubai for quick polygomous marriages, and even quicker divorces! Alas, what is good for the goose is not good for the gander in Dubai. As Mike over at MEMRI notes, only the husband can drop the wife in this oh-so-convenient manner.
Sorry Britney Spears, Dubai is not the answer to your K-Fed problems. Because, as it turns out, K-Fed actually found out Britney was leaving him through a text message she sent.
But Bobby Brown might want to think about visiting the kingdom right about now.

America gives women unjust power over men.
Both systems suck.
Anybody here think having an irresponsible, sluttish, stupid and emotionally retarded woman like Britny Spears awarded custody of their kids is an enlightened attitude? That's the norm, not the aberration, folks.
Women cant even pick which shoes to wear when they leave the house, but they have undue power over men's live's in this neutered country. Women cant make up their minds on any given subject except self indulgence, but we let them make up our minds for us.
Even islam has at least one good point.

3) Why was the rebel pilot who supposedly destroyed the Death Star reported to be on the Death Star days, maybe hours, prior to its destruction? Why was he allowed to escape, and why were several individuals dressed in Stormtrooper uniforms seen helping him?More questions here.4) Why has there not been an investigation into allegations that Darth Vader, the second-ranking member of the Imperial Government, is in fact the father of the pilot who allegedly destroyed the Death Star?

This story was mentioned, briefly, on today's Michael Medved show. Today was his "conspiracy day," where the moonbats call in with their wacky conspiracies. He gave this as an example of how any event can be questioned in the same way the the nutter "truthers" question events. I think his characterization was "very funny" or at least "funny."

With a measure of confidence, I'd suggest that McLean is not the first politician to receive lumpy criticism. Even so, there are rules regarding the transmittal of feces through the mail.
A Postal Service spokeswoman said the U.S. Postal Service prohibits sending feces through the mail except for medical or veterinary purposes, and in those instances the samples must meet rigorous packing and labeling requirements.Well, how about that? First offense means no trouble.Without some implied or written threat, however, a poop-filled package won't get the sender in trouble on the first offense.
Now, that gives me an idea. What if a few million Americans exercised a one-shot opportunity to send a loaf of wishes to Venezuelan thug dictator Hugo Chavez? It would be simple. Merely take an envelope when visiting the hopper. Fill it and make sure that the packaging is rigorous. Don't include a return address. Remember, no trouble if caught.

Osamabinstalking
You asked me why I might defend Jeff, and greyrooster. You may not know this, but a few times I also defended No Fear, who is pretty clearly a lefty. Well besides the fact I consider Jeff, and greyrooster to be on my side a lot of the time, I don't like to see anyone stalked from thread to thread, and I try to catch myself when I feel the urge to do some of it myself.
Greyrooster, and Jeff often have very good points, and even if I disagree with some of them, they do deserve as much chance to be heard as anyone. No Fear I actually seemed to get along with, and I think actually discussing the differences of opinion had merit.
I resort to name calling sometimes. If I get mad, I usually settle on some fairly simple term, like 'dork' and call my target by that. It allows me to show disgust, but it still keep the sentences free of a lot of extra garbage. Even that, I try to avoid. Sometimes I call someone ignorrant when it is uncalled for.
Now it so happens that I value the patriotism of Jeff, and Greyrooster, and for that reason alone, I would defend their ability to comment here. If only for the sake of free speech, I even value Ken Hoop's comments, though I still have an obligation to attack them.
Comments like #26 aren't argueing. They aren't necessarily funny, and they are intended to demean other commenters, regardless of the merits of any arguements made by those commenters. It isn't cool to have to sort through these on every single thread. If you can't ignore Jeff's name-game, you could handle it differently.
I admit, I don't usually care for Jeff's name calling, but sometimes it is actually funny. With Jeff, I try to read the content of his arguement. If there is no content beyond a personal attack, I ussually just skip over it. If I see two or three in a row, that are only an attack, I skip the thread. If I see two or three personal attacks, minus an actual arguement, from ANYONE, in a row ... I will usually skip the rest of the thread.
I doubt I'm the only one who does this.
So lets see ... since your squabbling with grey, and Jeff, then there is a pretty good chance that I'll get three in a row wherever all three of you are at. If we lump in some of the others who like the personal attack, well, I could just go to Town Hall and get my news fix.couldn't I?
A little name calling is OK. When everyone piles on, it gets bad, and I'm VERY AGAINST BANNING PEOPLE, so I hope nobody thinks that is my point. I'm saying, if you think your a great debator, then DEBATE, dammit!! Let the reader decide who to skip over, and stop adding jumps to the course OK???
COMMENTER! POLICE THYSELF!!! Raise the bar, don't go under it! Leave that for others.
I like Greyroooster, and Jeff just fine, and I'm not following your 'funny' links. If they do that to you, I'm not following those links either. I'm boycotting all of those links! Everyone got that?
I'm not going to post any funny links of my own about Ken Hoop either. I'm not perfect, but flinging giant monkey turds isn't that hard to avoid doing!
Since Jeff, and greyrooster may read this, may I encourage my allies to take this occassion to consider the value of thier arguements, That value may be lost when people don't read past the personal attack portion. It's something to consider.
Anyway, Osamabinnotasfunnyashethinksheis, I hope you understand this longish answer to your question, and I hope I have had some influence in raising the level of exchange. It's something WE ALL SHOULD DO.
USA, all the way!

Don't fool yourself. Nobody appreciates you.
I respectfully submit that you only swipe at people online--and any poor men in your hateful life who are subject to the misandrist lawsof your local government.
We both know you wouldn't have the guts to swipe at me in person.
My captions are still thefunniest, by the way. There's nothing funny about your intolerance or stupidity.

Heaven forbid I should be mean to a shit-licking troll who hates America almost as much as she does men and their penises.
Shouldn't you be sitting on the Naked Trucker's lap eating a glazed doughnut?
