It is not so much that Ross Douthat of the New York Times disses the preachy, finger-wagging James Cameron hit piece in Avatar; few would say that Cameron isn’t perhaps the best director of his day.  His ability to tell a wonderful story and wow the audiences with amazing special effects is unparalleled.

Rather, Douthat’s criticism lies in the heavy-handed, quasi-New Age rubbish Hollywood shoves down unsuspecting filmgoers’ throats in an attempt by a small cadre of atheists and pantheists to dethrone Christianity as the cultural centerpiece of this nation.  This is not the first time in history anti-Christian forces heaped scorn on Christianity, and the religion will survive well enough.  At least he didn’t release it during Easter.

There’s nothing like hearing the cacophony of a bunch of Liberals choking on their lattes. Good for Sarah Palin, good for Fox for having the brains to hire her, and good to the haters who deserve their self-induced hissy-fit.

I’m not prepared to say that the POTUS himself hates the United States.  If anything, I find him to be a bit of a jellyfish on matters of substance, as he makes for a good marionette and little else.  However, the staffers around him either have a perverse sense of humor, or an utter hatred for the history and traditions of this country by placing on a Christmas tree the picture of a man who spilled far more blood than even Adolf Hitler ever did in Mao Zedong. Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government has more.

The ghost of the Administration of George W. Bush still haunts President Obama. The Christmas terrorism attempt seems to be the final straw for a good deal of those holdouts and hangers-on who hoped (and changed) against hope that our leader would mature into a president everyone could rally around. He has been an abysmal failure at everything he’s touched. The cat-calls from the psychotic branch of the Democratic Party have no effect, as they can’t blame anything anymore on Republicans. Their heads spin, however, at the sight of Dick Cheney rightfully criticizing this poseur of a President as he drops balls from the economy to keeping the country safe. The most amusing thing to see, however, is NOT Dick Cheney calling out the POTUS; rather, it is to watch the Left eat its own, as Maureen Dowd does to Barack Obama in her most recent column. His administration will fall the way of Jimmy Carter’s did in 1980. Will be end up with a Reagan-type leader or a “country-club” idiot running the country next? Eyes have moved forward as this president has effectively become a lame duck.

Heshmat Tabarzadi smells revolution in the air in Tehran. Pray for it.

Even MSNBC, a fringe network, is drubbing CNN. I can’t see them lasting much longer unless they have a very long-term deal with airports or other places where no one will pay attention to them.

Don’t be too thrilled with the news that “single-payer” may have died in the Senate. The radical wing of the Democratic Party will find a way to sneak it in somehow, rest assured. This, despite the fact that the majority of the populace has no interest in wrecking their insurance plans.

It’s one thing to see The Left as vicious little twerps who wouldn’t be man enough to say the garbage they sputter in someone’s face without forceful retaliation. It’s quite another for these vicious psychopaths to imply that because a Senator like Joe Lieberman doesn’t want to go along with a policy that would wreck the nation’s economy, he must be a killer. In a more sane, ethical world, Ezra Klein, the losers at Firedoglake.com and others of their ilk would be chucked out of their offices and into the unemployment lines. It’s not. Rather, the Left have become the home of self-loathing Jews who attack an actual Jew who practices as not being “a real Jew.” This will be a fun train wreck to monitor.

Like the Kyoto Treaty that no one much paid attention to some years back, Copenhagen has produced another document so that everyone can “just keep talking.” Very productive. At least the POTUS got to see a charming city.
