Bill complains in Phil Bacharachs rather brief interview story (Real Time, red state, March 16, Gazette) about how so very tough it is for liberals to survive as a minority in Oklahoma City! Try being a conservative in Hollywood I know that turd-rich environment from nine years effort, in the process finding conservatives aplenty, who are existing and earning a living by keeping their mouths shut.
Maher likely doesnt know any conservatives since they keep their head down; he may employ some at his HBO boys club, yet not know it. In Oklahoma, the liberals you know, that poor, poor minority blather without restraint in every venue where I encounter them (especially on Sunday at one library branch, their favorite watering hole), knowing its safer to be a liberal in a red state than to be a conservative in a blue state.
Add
Lotts March 13 movie review slam on a go-go actioner Battle: Los
Angeles (LA UFO, OMG!) that gives blue-boys a hint of what would be
required if Marines were called upon to save the anti-military brats of
the Peoples Republic of Santa Monica, and its larger left-wing environs
of Los Angeles, and the Gazette continues to shun any
understanding of conservatives, the military, the tea party movement,
(oh, wait, they are the tea baggers so much for civil discourse from
the left) or the vast environs of red America.
Lott
believes in his managing editors heart that BLA has no story its
rich with story and theme and plot and emotion, but not to the snarling,
snarky, snotty lefties who doubtless are like those who slammed
Charlton Heston for his gun ownership, until, that is, they frantically
phoned him during the Rodney King riots, begging him to help them
shortcircuit the waiting period by loaning a gun for self-protection.
They wanted guns, and they wanted them now. Chuck reminded them of their
pre-riot theories, and let them protect themselves without his
hardware.
Battle:
Los Angeles gets it, as does its audience; Maher and Lott dont. Thus,
all the whining about why cant we all get along and other Santa
Monica/ Malibu Kumbaya mentalities get a realistic view in BLA that
only patriots can see. When the nasties come ashore, youll all cry
Where are the Marines? and demand they come to your neighborhood
first.
