4th of July: Five Patriotic Movies That Piss Off The Left
http://www.breitbart.com ^ | June 3, 2015 | John Nolte

With the fascist left on a fascist rampage, why not add a little defiance to your 4th of July by watching five patriotic movies that piss off The Man. The Man of course being the dominant Left-wing political culture that is currently banning “The Dukes of Hazzard” and hoping to get its tyrannical hands on “Gone With the Wind.”

The Green Berets (1968)

Because he loved America and freedom and didn’t want to see either lose a vitally important war, John Wayne spent a lot of his movie star capital directing and starring in “The Green Berets” for Warner Brothers. Critics blistered him in ways unseen until Mel Gibson dared bring the Gospels to life in “The Passion of the Christ.” Audiences, however, showed up in droves, and were treated to a marginal but entertaining movie, and most importantly, a prophetic one.

In the film, Wayne predicts that if the Left wins and America abandons Vietnam, other countries will fall to communist tyranny, and our Vietnamese allies will be murdered and tortured.

And that is exactly what happened.

John Wayne was 100% correct, he had their number, and that makes the Left angrier than anything.

BONUS: Watch racist George Takei sell his left-wing soul for a small role in a right-wing propaganda film.

We Were Soldiers

The BEST Vietnam war movie.

How about Gods and Generals. Panned by every critic in Hollywood because it showed Confederate victories. I thought it was every bit as good as Gettysburg. And Robert Duvall made a hell a lot better Robert E. Lee than Martin Sheen.

For me, Lone Survivor was like The Passion of Christ.
I wanted to see them, and when I saw them, I didn’t want to see them.

I haven’t seen it. I’ll have to give it a look.

Unless ... I am a squishy female and don’t like to put too much war stuff in my brain. There’s enough of that in the real world. I want escapism in my entertainment!

They were both very tough to watch.

I don’t care who you are, you can’t watch “The Passion of the Christ”, and not be changed by it. Especially if your a Christian to begin with.

I am so proud that I got to shake Gen. Hal Moore’s hand at a Veteran’s Day ceremony a few years ago. I’m even prouder now since my son is Special Forces.

I didn’t see The Passion of Christ. I’m too squeamish.

Every lash, I winced and jumped in my seat. I’m not necessarily squeamish, but this on hurt my heart and my stomach.

For patriotic movies, it's hard to beat "The Best Years of Our Lives" starring Fredric March, Dana Andrews and Harold Russell.

The film is about three United States servicemen readjusting to civilian life after coming home from World War II.

Released in 1946, won seven Academy Awards.

I thought it was cool when I was a kid but some of the characters seemed so disgruntled which is fine but it causes me to not put it on the patriotic list.

Look at “LONE SURVIVOR” “ZERO DARK THIRTY” and “AMERICAN SNIPER” vs the leftist dreck put out against Iraq War

I like the “Combat” series quite a lot, but indeed, it oftentimes maintained a certain downbeat and world-weary mindset that was actually more emblematic of the time it was made in the 1960s (akin to many other 1960s-era semi-anthology series like Route 66, Gunsmoke, Naked City, etc.), as opposed to the wartime 1940s. All great tv-shows, but that whole “psychological character study” approach to scripts at that time was very postwar and modernist, and ultimately rather discordant to the social-cultural vibe of the 1940s.
