Certain people seem to think we are required to support everything a “conservative” artist does, even if it is junk. No, I am only required to support their freedom to do it.

If it turns out to be junk, I’m still going to call it junk, and not praise. To praise it would be no different than the left and their “soft bigotry of low expectations”.

If it’s a bad movie, that’s a shame. He does good stuff. Usually.

Exactly, you stated exactly what I was trying to get across.

I felt the same way about the conservative "comedy" An American Carol. I really wanted to like it. Unfortunately, it just wasn't very funny. It had a few decent jokes and a couple of touching moments. But those could not make up for the dead moments as one gag after another failed to elicit a peep from the audience.
