Any connoisseur of quintessential American comedic culture has seen the film Animal House and is intimately familiar with the exploits of Delta Tau Chi House at Faber College. As the, "worst house on campus," the fraternity is an assortment of slackers, misfits and childish sorts more interested in debauchery and partying than learning. Because of this the Deltas run afoul of the College administration time and again and are expelled.
This leads up to a climatic, impassioned but ultimately ignorant speech by John "Bluto" Blutarsky in which he tries to rally the Deltas to go out with a bang. During that speech is when he utters the iconic phrase of stupidity, which sums up so neatly why the Deltas were being expelled, "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!" Bluto then charges out of the Fraternity House and half-heartedly the rest of the members eventually follow. They then proceed to wreak havoc during the College's annual homecoming parade destroying property and committing mischief.
This scene resembles remarkably well the way liberals act in real life and nothing illustrates this better than the recent case of McDonald v. Chicago where the onerous gun ban imposed by the City of Chicago was successfully challenged and struck down by the United States Supreme Court. The reason the city of Chicago lost the case is obvious to anyone more interested in the truth and who has not spent their time seeking out in debauchery while partying on the tax payer's dime. Mayor Richard Daley however is not such a person.

On what date did the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor.
"hoping they don't hire them to feed me"
this is my favorite movie of all time....
I know all the classic lines....
“the Negroes stole our dates.”
“Fat and stupid is no way to go through life.”
BTW, The Belushi character, “Blutarsky” at the end of the film it says he”became a US Senator”...ha.
"I don't drink Coke and eat Klondike bars"
Did you flinch when it went right over your head?
Bluto: "Seven years of college down the drain! Might as well join the f@#&ing Peace Corps!!"
The line is “Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”
I agree, great film. I love the scene where Belushi is moving the ladder across the house “BANG, BANG, BANG” to peek in on the undie-clad coeds. Then he turns and smirks at the camera. LOL
Only liberals are privvy to that information. You don't need to know when, you just need to know that liberals have good intentions with their f'ed up thinking and they have YOUR best interests in mind.
So therefore, all of their policies should be embraced, revered, followed and never questioned.
Fat,drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
Or more apropos to (now former) obama supporters: “You f****d up, you trusted us.” Boy, did they ever.
LOL!
this movie was soooo AHEAD OF ITS TIME!
Blutarsky at the end of the film it says hebecame a US Senator.
Blutarsky was modeled after the college career of Ted Kennedy.
You are correct!
this movie foreshadowed how worthless us Honkys were considered to be to the Equal Rights cause 30 years later!
“OTIS!...MA MAN!”
GREAT!!! HA!
LOVE IT...
I never thought Bluto was a liberal. Too politically incorrect. And look what he did to that sensitive musician’s guitar.
