Issue 38
NEWS: Ann Coulter.
Here's one person I have wanted to write about for a long time, but I must have hesitated for some reason with all the other news: Ann Coulter. She wrote several books, including two books Lies and Treason, which effectively reveal more about the content of the books than most other titles. Al Franken dedicated Two Chapters in his book Lies and The Lying Liars who tell them, to her. She has frequently criticised Muslims and Arabs,claiming that they are all "savages" and terrorists, and I know this is untrue becauseone of the guys on my academic team is Muslim, and so is one of my favorite musicians (Cat Stevens), who is becoming an outspoken activist for social justice. Her criticism probably stems from their role in 9/11, which I believe was equal parts Bush and co. looking for something to increase his polularity and Religious Fanaticism, which leads me on to my next criticism of her, she dedicated an entire chapter of one of her books to debunking the existence of the Religious Right. Any person who has read any previous edition of my blog knows that it is Very Real and very much desiring controlling the USA. Also, she has claimed that the 19th Amendment (allowing women the right to vote), should be repealed to help the Republicans consistently win, which they sadly, would have except in 1964. Another quote regarding 9/11 stated that we should have invaded all muslim countries and converted them to christianity, which, sadly, is even more extreme than the Koran and has led to more atrocities than the Koran. She also claims that liberals hate america, which we don't (we just hate its current state). I would like to use this time to point out my definition of patriotism, which I shared with Mark twain, which is remaining loyal to the principles the country was founded under, and being loyal to the government when it follows those principles only. Conservatives view it as being loyal to the principles the country was founded under, as interpreted by the Government. She has also been known to criticize the New York Times for its left wing bias, but I don't give a damn about a paper's political bias as long as it carries Doonesbury. For some odd reason, she has also said that Sweaters are a sin against God, which makes no sense. She also criticized JFK in her book Treason, whom I believe to be the last truly great president we have ever had, as well as the film Good Night and Good Luck, in several recent columns. Another thing to note is that she has been quoted as saying that we as a people underestimate the power of fascism and should embrace it, and related is a quote saying "Frankly, I'm not a big fan of the First Amendment." Sieg Heil.
Band Name of the Day: Anime Comatose Sharon. It was the most absurd name I can think of, and the image of a far-right comatose PM of Israel on some bizarre quest seems like a likely TV show idea, un Japan at least.
Film idea of the Day: WOT??!!?&,:;%${}: The Series. A TV series (probably direct to DVD), continuing the adventures of the DeMinnow Family, Schrader, and The Pyro, in varying styles.
Film Review of the Day: Blast From the Past. This is a fish out of water story of a man who lived in a fallout shelter since the sixties and emerges in the Present day. I personally found it to be very funny in showing the culture shock, and one particularly memorable scene shows him with having a conversation with his father in different languages, including French, German, and Latin.
Quote of the Day: We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men— not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular.
This is no time for men who oppose Senator McCarthy's methods to keep silent, or for those who approve. We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities. As a nation we have come into our full inheritance at a tender age. We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
____Edward Murrow.
Link of the Day: A review of the Dissertation of Kent Hovind, Chick Collaborator.
Tract Reviews: The Star: A star named Douglas Ford (portmonteau of Michael Douglas and Harrison Ford) is saved in a hospital by a nurse who tells him about the eternal damnation his unbelief and the fact that he is payed $22 mill. for a nude scene.
Also, there are new Afrocentric versions of Classic Tracts:
It's Your Life- That was your life.
Hard Times- Somebody Loves You.
