It seems Kline was too preoccupied with framing the movie into his preconceived notions to notice that none of the “soldiers” were wearing US military uniforms. They were, in fact, private mercenaries, hired to drive the local residents off their land (so much for his respect for private property rights). There are only two characters that we know were former Marines, one of whom is the hero of the film. Maybe the amazing popularity of this movie shows that people aren’t afraid of taking a new look at things. Kneejerk reactions, right or left, are tiresome.

1. If the statements of the writer and director of a movie match the "kneejerk reactions," are they still kneejerk reactions?

2. Did the fact that all the main human characters are whites and all the people providing voices for the primitive, cornrow-wearing aliens were non-whites strike you as unusual? No possible message there?

3. Unobtanium? Really?

Revealing your true Troll colors newbie?

“Taking a new look at things” is what has placed our liberty, our society, it's shaken morality and it's future economic health in complete jeopardy.

Only moderate RINOs would see this reaction as “knee jerk”. Conservatives who see reality have correctly identifies what drives this evil force into accepting complacency and soft tyranny in the name of environmentalist fundamentalism.

This article is spot on. If you don't like the fact that us Conservatives see this as it truly is, then you might consider going back to a more Liberal blog of your choice, which better suits your philosophy.
