American Sniper

God bless Chris Kyle for everything he did for us, and God dam you, Michael Moore, for all you stand for

Maybe you are one of the lucky ones who has already seen the blockbuster and one of the all-time box-office record holders, American Sniper – Clint Eastwoods’ film adaptation of the life of Christopher Scott “Chris” Kyle, released on December 2014. Kyle, is considered to be the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history, while accumulating 160 confirmed kills, out of 255 probably kills.

As a matter of record, I would also like to commend Eastwoods’ proactive choice of bringing Kyle’s story to the big screen as otherwise his legacy could have been lost in an unending compilation of unsung heroes who passed us by if yet seldom noticed or acknowledged by the rest of us; by all of us who should live forever indebted to these champions of liberty to whom we owe nothing short than our freedom – no ‘ifs’ or ‘buts’ about it.

It was just reported on Comcast News that 11 of 12 footballs were all down between .2-psi (point 2) and 1-psi, with just one football down almost 2-psi.

The originally reported "finger man," who supposedly notified the refs when the ball he intercepted from Brady "seemed soft to him..." (D'Quell Jackson, IN Colts) has publicly rebutted saying that he only gave the ball to his equipment manager to save for him so he could put it in his trophy case. He said, "There was nothing wrong with that ball."

Hmmmm. Why the lie...?

It was also just reported that the NFL League Official heading up this witch-hunt has been trying all season long... unsuccessfully... to nail the Patriots for a "ball inflation violation."

It turns out he's a former assistant coach with Belichick, and most recently spent years with the New York Jets.

Might explain why they never bothered to interview Tom Brady. The investigation is headed elsewhere.

I had a feeling that was the case when I saw how forcefully and emphatically Belichick threw this back on the League's doorstep. Get yer popcorn.

The left doesn’t care about money…until they’re not making any.

> Good point. I don’t care for foul language either but it mostly in the context of combat.

I think I’d let a few F bombs fly if bullets were flying past my head or mortars shells were hitting a litte too close for comfort...

Hahaha...it doesn’t take long to fall into it when you go in.

I had a fairly foul mouth before I joined, but when I came home for Christmas dinner directly after boot camp, I was at the table with all 30 of the extended family around, telling a story, and suddenly realized they were all looking silently at me.

I had apparently unleashed a couple of “F” bombs and had no idea I had done it. Taught me a lesson...:)

Sounds like a good movie but my wife and I decided we didn’t want to experience the “F”-bombs exploding all around this guy and the audience.

Guess we’ll wait for the edited version on TV.

Thanks for the link. Now I’ve seen all of it. Plenty of f-bombs by the way, not the best picture I’ve seen but because of these times, it’s great for these times.

It is just a word. Word(s) used while being shot at. If you had ever been shot at I think you would be no stranger to them. First time I was shot at I made up some new words.

I saw the movie today, and I loved it. Except the ending, which made me cry. I thought the movie was exceptionally well done. As for the F-bombs, heck-—you hear worse than that in a NYC high school classroom or on a subway. Just have to ignore it.

I know the message well and believe it needs to be taught from infancy. The price of freedom has never changed, but that truth is not always understood or esteemed.

God bless you and yours.

Strange how liberal Hollywood eats their own. Bradley Cooper is a liberal democrat and the older Eastwood gets the more liberal he becomes. He sees nothing wrong in sodomite “marriage” or abortion. When he makes left-learning movies like “Million Dollar Baby” they love him and give him awards. When he makes war movies he’s ignored because the majority of the Hollywood elite are anti-American.

I just saw it today.
A stunningly well done film about a solder and his family.
Being far away from those you love is always hard.

Also, we are loosing far too many great Conservatives in this conflict.
Lets try not to loose anymore.
