For most of the American Revolution, the bold patriots who demanded liberty were at a disadvantage. It’s easy to look back now and talk about how we won our independence, but we must always remember that the outcome was not certain for those who actually lived it. Up until the battle of Saratoga, people like Jefferson, Washington and Franklin didn’t know if they were the founders of a great nation or the next batch of traitors to die at the end of a noose.
Similarly, it is difficult at times to know if we are winning the great battle that faces our nation and world right now. We think we make progress, then a poll comes out indicating that a ridiculous number of Americans don’t like Capitalism. And hey, who are those 4 in 10 people who think Obama is doing a great job?
But we are winning. Every day, the tide shifts a little. The fight over Hollywood and the media is the first and biggest battle that we must win. The conflict over information and public opinion is paramount to securing a prosperous and free America.
Culturally and economically we are proving our superiority and dominance. Sites like Big Hollywood and Newsbusters that point out the leftist idiocy in the media are indispensable and growing exponentially. Wisely, conservatives are finally speaking with their wallets, allowing publications like Newsweek to die a slow death while the latest Sean Penn stupidityfest languishes at the box office.
Look no further than last weekend. Iron Man 2 spanked the politically murky Robin Hood. Do you think angry rich guy Russell Crowe’s calls for more taxes for the middle class had anything to do with that? How about the fact that the Robin Hood legend is perhaps the greatest libertarian fable ever created and yet the producers and studio opted to distance themselves from making a “Tea Party” movie? That’s not just leftist idiocy, it’s criminal negligence. Have these knuckleheads, working for a publicly traded company, never heard of “fiduciary responsibility”? In our political climate, a film about a bunch of bad asses sticking it to “the man” who is trying to tax them to death would have crushed at the box office. But we can’t have that. What if, gasp, tea partiers started wearing Robin Hood hats to their protests? How embarrassing!
Almost on cue, Dr. Natalie Wilson from Ms. Magazine posted a leftist diatribe against Iron Man 2 that makes my head hurt. When something conservative resonates with millions of people around the world, there is only one thing to do. Attack it! This psycho tosses in the kitchen sink. Sexist. Racist. Homophobic. Oh, and Tony Stark is “greedy.”
Her 1500 words are simultaneously sad and laughable. So much gender studies training and faux intellectualism stuffed into so few words. At first I thought it was from The Onion. It is indicative of the last gasp of a dying age, a baffling piece that borders on self-parody.
Let me drop the bass and rock the mic for you Dr. Wilson. If, instead of wasting your time obsessing over your superficial observations of the film (and the culture that it represents) you applied even a modicum of thought into what the film actually portrayed, you probably could have saved yourself some embarrassment and me a headache.
–The only character who doesn’t hide behind a mechanized suit of armor to kick ass is a woman, Black Widow. She uses the superficial appearance of a sex kitten as a cover to her true identity: a highly dedicated, well trained, super-powered warrior for justice.
–Despite being surrounded by cheesy hot girls who would drop their panties at the, well drop of a hat, Tony Stark choses his soulmate Pepper. Why? Because he’s the hero. That’s what heroes do. They look beyond the superficial and look to the spiritual and the intellectual. Natalie, you are not a hero.
–Heroes and real men do think the “liberal agenda” is boring. Because it is. Example: your article.
–Black actors are not interchangeable. Actors who make ridiculous financial demands, are difficult on set, and don’t get along with the director, are.
–Boy Scouts are cool. Get over it.
–All the “academic” talk of the weaponizing of the male body as some sort of gender thingy doesn’t make a lot of sense. Maybe if I had a degree in “boy culture and masculinity” I would understand. Instead, I got a real job. Sorry.
The awesome awesomeness of this unintentional comedy is maximized by surfing around the entire Ms. website. Remember my article last time about what “feminism” really is? Well, if you want to read the battle plan of the enemy, here you go. The whole thing is an affront to the real empowerment of women as individuals. It’s an entire website dedicated to articles about eating disorders, rape and abortion. I will give them a tad of props for a couple of articles about the plight of women in the Middle East, but then the clowns lost me with the subtle Jew hating articles mixed in.
Despite their attempts to prove their intellectual superiority, leftists must confront the harsh truth. They are not, nor have they ever been, at the top of the intelligence food chain. They are comfortably in the middle. They have always masked the shallowness of their intellect with the depth of their vocabularies. They have sought refuge from real world experience and accomplishment in the sanctuary of academic institutions.
Great minds and thinkers, people who can understand and contemplate the intricacies of human existence and society have always been the libertarians and conservatives. Oddly enough, our allies also live at the bottom of the intellectual spectrum. This may appear to be a contradiction, but it actually makes sense.
When you attempt to develop systems of equality and fairness, when you try to truly provide people with a means to better their living conditions, and when you actually seek diversity, you arrive at the conclusion that any system or structure that works must be based on the individual. Free markets make sense. Blocks of people based on race, gender and sexual preference do not.
As for the dumb guys, well they just want to be left alone. And good for them!
There was a time when our system wasn’t fair. We weren’t true to our principles. Much, if not all of that has been fixed. Perhaps there was a point when things like “gender studies” and “diversity training” were useful. But that time has passed. They are as useless and outdated as pay phones.
As society progresses people like Dr. Natalie Wilson shift from useless to dangerous. Their ideas are a poison that hinders progress. Their ideas create needless conflict and work to oppress millions around the world. Spiritually, economically, and creatively, they are a drag on society.
Natalie Wilson stole ten minutes of my life with her silly regurgitation of 1960s culture models. Her ideology tries to steal something much greater from others; their self-respect and their individuality. Ladies, run, do not walk away from Ms. magazine and any college class that pollutes your brain with superficial observations of society. Let’s let their little club of victimhood close down like the offices of the New York Times entertainment department.
And yes friends, we are winning. Expect to see many more cry baby rants like this one as we continue to roll back 50 years of leftist dominance over Hollywood and the media.
I’ll bet General Burgoyne cried at Saratoga too.
