    Re: Syriana

    I heard that it was all liberal propaganda. Read it in the paper today.
    "The choices we discern as having been made in the Constitutional Convention impose burdens on governmental proceses that often seem clumsy, inefficient, even unworkable, but those hard choices were consciously made by men who had lived under a form of government that permitted arbitrary governmental acts to go unchecked." INS v. Chadha, 462 U.S. 919 (1983) (Burger, C.J.)

    must be true then
    In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

    Re: Syriana

    It's just a bunch of George Looney crap.

    "Big Oil" = Bad

    I'll tell you though Syriana isn't nearly as bad as Good Night and Good Luck about that homosexual piece of s**** Edward R. Murrow and the left's attempt to smear an American hero.

    Joe McCarthy has been a hero of mine since I was in 6th grade. I wanted to join the John Birch Society by age 12.

    They got McCarthy BUT GOOD, too. In fact, just about any casual observer to politics will say McCarthy has a bad name.

    And I'm not a casual observer of politics. It's not only my major but my passion and my life. And I'm telling you Joe McCarthy was as an American hero.

    He does have a bad name but only because of the systematic slaughtering of his name since he became the first boogeyman of the left.

    Did Clooney even graduate from H.S.?

    most of the actors haven't, it's almost like a bunch of kids with money got turned loose.

    Sounds like you have a very accurate paper up there.

    The paper in Tulsa called Michael Moore's 9-11 movie "an unbiased masterpiece".

    Just the fact that he had to include "homosexual" in his denigration of Murrow. You'd think "piece of ****" would be bad enough, but I guess that just didn't get his level of disgust across.

    Re: Syriana

    Syriana is #2 of 5 or 6 movies that are designed to undermine the war effort, according to an article I read, about a year ago, I think.(Wish I had kept the article, but I didn't) It listed the movies, and "Jarhead" was the first one, "Syriana" the second, and I believe 2-4 more will come out before either the mid-term elections this year, or surely before the '08 Presidential elections. Hooray for Hollywood!

    That's a pretty broad generalization. Got a link?
    Sometimes I think I drink alot, then I see, like, the Motley Crüe behind the music, and realize I'm a huge *****.

    Re: Syriana

    I recall an interview with Tim Blake Nelson in the Tulsa World recently where he tried to validate this film as being something like a study in corrupt governments and oil blah blah blah.
    How about a study on why the entire world is dependent on oil and how about a study on why its better for ours guys to have it than it is for theirs guyssssss?

    I'd rather carve figurines out of hickory than watch that flick.

    Dumbest post I've read in a while.

    Makes Nick look like a Rhodes scholar.
