Yeah, it really is.

Do I want to see the government stepping in and trying to censor movies? No, of course not. But Hollywood has, for many years, been turning out an absolute cesspool of filth, both in terms of violence and in terms of sex. It’s time for it to stop.

Honestly, what planet do you people live on ? This IS.NOT.HAPPENING.

I agree, but it’s ironic that some of the greatest movies ever were made during a time when there was pretty strict self-censorship at any rate. How much sex was there in Casablanca?

Yeah, it really is.

Ok ? Do you get that ? How about we use our efforts on something 1) that is actually important, or 2) has ANY chance of happening ?

Or, hey, lets rail on and on about movie “filth” in the downtime between our wars on “low life” sperm donors and “mentally ill sexual deviant” lesbians.

Hollywood isn’t anymore responsible for the Sandy Hook shooting than the gun manufacturer who made the weapons used. The person wielding the weapons or trying to live our their fantasy movie is responsible.

The discussion is important because it follows the exact same logic that liberals use against guns. Blame the vehicle of the violence, instead of the actual source. Notice how Hollywood is quick to distance themselves from responsibility. Sorry, the logic don’t add up.

We should also have a cultural discussion about why the lives of the children who are killed from drunk driving are not quite as valuable as those who were killed by guns. How about the children who have had their lives taken from car accidents? Don’t they deserve the kind of national attention we are giving guns?

But naturally, a majority of liberals (I wager) drink alcohol and own cars which they could not live without. They don’t, in a majority, own guns so it is easier to write that off because it doesn’t impact their life.

Like it or not, the constitution protects the rights of everyone. Not just liberals and not just conservatives but everyone. It prevents one side from running over the other when government power changes hands.

So sure, I’ll give up my guns when the liberals surrender their alcohol and vehicles. Deal?

It’s time for Hollywood to shut up and sing.

I have a signed copy on my bookshelf. Laura is fairly bitter these days – basically unbearable. She’s like Swalker except she can probably get a date.

No it isn’t.

No, it really isn’t. But the true-conservatives out there push faux-outrage and base-resentment as patriotism. If somebody claims to be a truecon these days, watch out. They’re just haters and are almost exactly like the liberals they supposedly detest.

As soon as Hollywood elites are compelled to change they will compel us to change – with legislation. Get it? No? OK, try this:

Would you like Ted Nugent silenced? He’s on the board of the NRA. Think about the fallout from him being essentially censored. His views would then be susceptible to sanctions. If you think they’re going to go after the guns of rappers, you’re wrong.

Johnny Cash’s I shot a man just to watch him die will be the object. Ted Nugent’s Motorcity Madman moniker will the target.

Hollywood is a marketplace. Starve the market to tame the beast. All other attacks on personal-freedom are un-American regardless of which side levies them.

Don’t send your kids to the movies you find objectionable. How hard is that? Don’t let them listen to gangsta rap, gangsta rock or watch gangsta films. If your’e not going to be consistent please pick another team.

I’m on Team America. F*ck censorship. My morals are stronger than their lack thereof. My voice will never soften.

There is no doubt they have influenced this nation over the last 30-40 years in a negative fashion overall.

Now they have the right to free speech and the government should not be banning anything, although I am open to taxing the heck out of the entertainment industry, mostly Hollywood….after all they were ones screaming about raising taxes on Americans…I say give it to them.

Yeah, it really is.
