STRANGE and unfamiliar sound emanated from Hollywood yesterday - total silence. It now looks as if the 9/11 attacks were just meant to be a tepid dress rehearsal for the big show. The atrocities that were narrowly averted yesterday - planes bound for our shores, to be blown up in midair by men who hate - prove one thing beyond doubt:
If we care to watch our children grow up, get old enough to retire to Florida, or simply live to see another dawn, we must be vigilant. We cannot relax.
The bullet we dodged whizzed by frighteningly close. That the thousands, perhaps more, that were targeted for death are alive today is testament to the success of governments in Britain and the United States. The ones so viciously maligned by the lefty set who, if allowed to dictate policy, would destroy this nation in a matter of hours.
So it was stunning not to hear the nasal voice of Barbra Streisand, slamming the president in a time of war. Just this past January, Babs was in her usual form in her incoherent blog. She wrote:
"Is this the America we have been fighting for? The Bush administration has failed once more in their [sic] mission to make American safer.
"There is an increasing anti-American sentiment in the Middle East."
John Murtha of Pennsylvania, the House's chief voice of enemy-appeasement - he's called for an unconditional cease-fire in Lebanon and said U.S. Marines "killed innocent civilians in cold blood" in Haditha - was also not in a talkative mood.
Nor was Susan Sarandon, who declared, at a peace rally in Washington after the war in Iraq commenced, that "terrorism cannot be fought with violence."
Damn, Susan. How would you fight it?

Sorry, I hadn't counted that since it's a made-for-TV. I got the DVD for Christmas and I agree, it's OUTSTANDING.
If we include HBO, I really liked a movie they did a few years ago that doesn't get much play, The Tuskegee Airman with Laurence Fishburn.
Someone on FR noted that Hollywood was completely out of ideas, so they keep making sequels to highly profitable movies.
Right now someone is writing the script to "The Passion of the Christ: Part 2"
Probably Mel Brooks.
And the bad guys that need killing, the good guy won't kill because he's "not worth it." Only after the bad guy takes the good guy's gun and almost kills him, some desk-bound cop who hasn't pulled a gun in 20 years will suddenly find the fortitude to pull his gun and will plug the bad guy with one shot to the forehead. Then the music will start.
ROTFLOL!
"Jesus: The Revenge"
Saw it a couple weeks ago. Outstanding.
I have described the analytical abilities of the opposing sides as:
Liberals = Checkers Players
Conservatives = 3D Chess Players
There has been a battle for the benefit of generations yet to come being waged for the last 5 years. The libs don't get it.
Brings tears to my eyes. If only we would listen to Hollywood, they can solve everything.
Well if "Jimmah" Carter had kept the Shah in power...despite the Shah's questionable human rights violations, the Assahola Blowmeni never would have came into power.
Their thinking rarely goes past their own persons, how their next divorce may affect them. I doubt they are comprehending this at all.
No, the bad guy will die in an accident as the hero bravely tries to save him.
I was thinking they would do it over the ocean because they realize we are sensitive to recovering remains. It isn't just the killing, it is also the suffering they enjoy.
Liberal viewpoint: "Terrorism cannot be fought with violence, President Bush, but don't you dare try to fight it by invading our privacy by tapping phone lines or reading our private e-mails. We will trash you for taking away our rights if you try to fight terrorism with intelligence."
The terrorists are all about killing us. We're supposed to offer them flowers? Money? Candy? What kind of negotiations do these moonbats think the terrorists would accept? Weapons? Probably....then they would use our weapons to kill us. There is no other solution. It is a idealistic war. They hate us because we don't believe what they believe. Negotiations won't change that. Only if the U.S. was completely converted to Islam (which is their goal, I believe) will they stop killing us. Perhaps Ms. Sarandon would like to convert to Islam, to appease the terrorists.
Interesting that this huge attack was thwarted using wire taps and e-mail circumvention. Let's not forget that.
Of course, the fiery pit or the caulron of acid. I almost forgot.
Robert Kennedy, 1968. The Isaeli Olympic Team, 1972, Achille Laurel, 1985.
Considering both Moore's and Streisand's penchants for deep fried pickles, cheetohs and Lard a la Mode, don't they need to travel by MC 130 Combat planes?
The Hollywood morons gotta rethink their position about the justification for terrorism (America policies and Israel's existence) when you jet across the country and around the world all the time.
Hollywood nitwits were thinking..."My god, Johnny Depp or Kate Bosworth could have been on one of those planes!"
or madonna ...
quitcher teasin'
Yep, "We Were Soldiers" was good. Funnily I had a thought earlier that perhaps Mel's comeback project could be made about one of the major battles in the Crusades (one where the Europeans win of course;).
