People need to treat this as entertainment.....not fact. It’s like watching a movie about WWII and knowing it’s all fiction. Someday, these people will say that Star Wars was history. Maybe we should start saying the Mickey Mouse is actually historical.

Right.

And we need to acknowledge that the propaganda from the MSM just isn't true, so let's not worry about and try to point out its falsehoods. And those anti-Iraq war films were just entertainment, too.

And, no, fiction doesn't get a free-pass.

Conspiracy theories always pull elements of history out of the past. Their damage is in their attempt to weave a new “truth” out of those historical elements. It is that weaving that needs to be pulled apart by cogent analysis.

We know it's fiction. We're just tired of the fact that it's always open season on Christians while other faiths, particularly Islam, are treated with kid gloves. When they made The Sum of All Fears into a movie, they changed the terrorists from Muslims to white supremacists. In V For Vendetta, the bad guys are Christians and their victims are Muslims and homosexuals. One homosexual character has preserved a copy of the Koran, risking his life to do so since the evil Christians have ordered the death penalty for anyone owning one, because of its beauty and grace.

It just gets old after a while. And then the people making these movies pat themselves on the back and boast about what courage it took for them to take on big, bad Christianity, while cowering at the thought of taking on Islam.

“Someday, these people will say that Star Wars was history.”

But it was history...it happened “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away!” Who said wasn’t history, hunh...I’ll bet it was the Flying Spaghetti Monster people again...trying to say the “force” isn’t real...sheesh!(sarcasm on)

I've seen Kelly's Hero's many times and I do so for the historical content. Then again with the state of education in this country today maybe Donohue has a point about having to point out the flaws in the movie.

Look, while this is “entertainment” there is also no doubt that the author harbors anti-catholic sentiments. Just because something is “entertainment” does not mean it is not also propoganda. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was “entertainment” but it is also one of the most successful works of propoganda in the last 200 years.
