I don't care that Red State finds this humorous.

I do not.

What's left of Americana that hasn't been sold down the river?

What's left that the left, the media, or hollywood, or whoever hasn't turned and twisted into something that it wasn't originally supposed to mean?

Not one of the most important issues of our day but a pretty good example of how sad things have gotten in this country. I am surprised that the warmongering, imperialist G.I. Joe exists at all in this nanny state!

Proud member of the “G.I. Joe Club” which probably had a lot to do with starting me on my military career of 25 years!

I heard about this, and I'm still shaking my head. Hollywood wants its live action version of GI Joe to represent an "international force" based in Brussels (guess who?) battling against - not terrorists and certainly not Muslim terrorists (Allah forbid!!) but against an evil shadowy organization led by (get this) a Scottish arms dealer.

Apparently, Hollywood has decided that the world must be made safe from haggis and Presbyterians.

I'll tell you what: the day GI Joe puts on a Blue Helmet is the day he goes AWOL.

Even Captain America ended up getting sniped in the back.

At this point we may need a “new” hero “Anonymous” like “Gladiator” a pissed off American who decides to take matters into his own hands.

This is the one we had at our house in the 60's. Why does everything have to be erased or re-invented

No longer will G.I. Joe be a U.S. Special Forces soldier,

Never was. The likeness is to a marine, on guadalcanal, who kicked japanese butt and took names, all night long, on a crest of a hill. The clothes are contemporary.

Everybody, everybody, knows that vampires recoil at the sight of a cross.

At some time in the last thirty years, it mutated into "well, it is your belief in the cross that they recoil from" and then into a cross has no effect at all on a vampire. When Hollywood changed that, I washed my hands of them. Frank Capra is dead.

And people wonder why I never go to the movies, and never watch TV.
I saw this trend after that recent Pearl Harbor movie changed it from a, “Sneak Attack,” to a, “Suprise Attack.”

Last movie I’ve seen was on a DVD, and I got it because I’d read that the producers received complete cooperation and assistance from the US military during filming.

That movie was: Transformers.

I just heard this on Glenn Beck.....I am LIVID.
