Stallone on O’Reilly Discussing “The Expendables” & American Movie Heroes (VIDEO)

Stallone appeared on O’Reilly’s show last night, and Bill asked him what he thought of some liberal elites slamming the movie as too “pro-America” and too rah-rah cheering for the United States. Stallone quickly dismisses that, saying “The Expendables” is a movie about American heroes – that’s it. If someone wants to skew that to be off-putting, then so be it. But nay-sayers should be weeping at this point, as this upcoming weekend looks to have “The Expendables” remain at #1 at the Box Office.

Here’s a portion of the transcript, courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter:

“I’m innocent. I didn’t do nuttin,” Stallone joked Thursday night on “The O’Reilly Factor.”

Stallone was responding to an assertion in the Los Angeles Times that “Expendables” was exploiting patriotism in order to put American-made butts into movie theater seats.

All that pro-American schmaltz where right is right and wrong is wrong should be left to country music and Fox News, not Hollywood, suggests Steven Zeitchick in the Times article. He writes, “When times are confusing, we want movies to reflect that confusion, and even to make sense of it. But we probably don’t want to pretend that confusion doesn’t exist.”

The article prompted host Bill O’Reilly to ask Stallone: “There’s no, like, subtle promoting-America message to the people of Pakistan” in the movie?

Apparently not.

“It’s pretty straight forward,” Stallone said. “You’re bad, you gotta go.”

Stallone compared the Times complaint to similar ones he fielded after making “Rambo: First Blood Part II.” It was “blasphemous,” he said, to suggest the fictional John Rambo would want to refight the Vietnam War and actually win it this time.

Stallone, though, doesn’t apologize for creating characters that are proud Americans and offers the observation that: “America apologizes too much.”

You know, you just can’t keep a good American-Hero movie down, no matter how hard your sad little liberal bleeding-heart tries to dismiss it.

Stallone is DA MAN, as are the other “expendables.” I pine for that day when American Heroes are no longer something to apologize for. Amen, Sly!

Glenn Takes on His Newest Critic, James Cameron (VIDEO)

Apparently James Cameron doesn’t care so much for Glenn. At least that’s what he said in an audiotape obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

Today on Glenn’s show, he responded to Cameron.

By the way, I agree with Glenn on the Celine Dion song. ARRGGGH!

“Law & Order: SVU” Continues Bashing Conservatives (VIDEOS)

Geez, where to begin? Last week Law & Order skewered O’Reilly, Beck & Limbaugh as crazy-town loons who incited people to kill. Then last Friday’s SVU show, they tackled every single current issue important to American patriots. Nothing was sacred, as it took up a whole episode of L&O.

The gamut ran from Tea Parties, ACORN, Hannah Giles, James O’Keefe, the alleged Fed census-worker murder, Bush voters, Town Hall meetings, “militant conservatives,” etc. They were also cast as “Jerry’s kids,” and ACORN was portrayed as a group called the “Rights Alliance Foundation” (whose sticker/poster looks eerily similar to one of the MoveOn.org Obama/Biden stickers).

The Libertarians/Conservatives were portrayed as someone called the “Patriot Rangers,” and depicted as “big-brother-hating,” gun-toting separatists who go to NYC holding “Don’t Tread On Me” signs while protesting to garner support for their newly-released-from-jail “fellow patriot” and his work for freedom. Only problem is, the rifles slung acros the shoulder don’t resemble anything that happened in real life.

Hell, much of this episode resembled nothing that happened in real life.

The bad guy of the episode is apparently a Bush-voting, Fox News-viewing, militant conservative, who masquerades as a liberal bed-wetter who possibly killed a peaceful “community organizer” when he really meant to kill a fed-loving lib. This “patriot ranger” also tries to bust the ACORN group by trying to punk them, posing as one of them, capturing undercover video of misdeeds.

The whole thing wound up as a messy and ugly story, which made little sense to anyone of any intellectual prowess. I would say I’m shocked, but with NBC’s corporate and social structure, I’m not surprised at all. Indeed, it’s par for the course for them, and probably one of the reasons why their shows are tanking in the ratings.

They just can’t help themselves, can they? They had to pack all of this anti-conservative, anti-libertarian B.S. in one crap-tastic episode of their message-driven bilge. They even include the requisite “Fox News” bashing.

An episode of any NBC primetime show should require the same life-saving accessories as any airline flight: an oxygen mask and a barf bag.

Woody Harrelson Has an Awkward Moment on The View (VIDEO)

Yesterday on The View, Woody Harrelson was on to discuss his latest movie called “The Messenger.” It’s about a soldier whose duty it is to make the death notifications to the families of the fallen. Now, Woody’s anti-war stance doesn’t go un-noticed on The View, but when Joy asked Woody about Afghanistan, Woody does something I’ve never seen anyone else do – leave her speechless.

Watch, laugh, then stare uncomfortably at this weirdo, Woody, after he makes his “pipeline” comment. Stupid freak.

Jon Voight on Huckabee Explaining Why Obama is A Danger (VIDEO)

Tonight on Mike Huckabee, actor Jon Voight was on to discuss the over-reaching tentacles of the Obama administration into the healthcare system and other facets of our lives. He calls Obama arrogant (deservedly so), and quotes a piece from conservative scholar Thomas Sowell about the state of current events.

Jon Voight says “no man…has the consent of a God to decide that he’s God.” The audience was near silent on this one, but I don’t think the silence was in protest; I think the silence was the everyday American’s shock at someone who is speaking the truth.

Finally Voight voiced his desire that Huckabee run again for President, saying we need a virtuous man like him. Do I disagre? Not in a million years. America could do worse – and it may TAKE a staunch devout conservative like Huckabee to bring our country back to the way it should be.

God bless Jon Voight. He IS courageous to speak out even though I’m sure he gets backlash in Hollywood for his views. Truth be told, I really don’t think he cares; nor should he. The truth will never steer you wrong, and it’s a position that needs no defense.

Why is MJ’s Death More Important Than Army Lt. Brian Bradshaw’s? It Isn’t. (VIDEO)

Today on the Glenn Beck show, Judge Napolitano, sitting in for Glenn, brought up this very sentient question: Why is this singer’s death more important than that of our military men and women who give their lives to protect this very country, which Jackson so freely enjoyed? Answer: It’s not more important. And shame on the media for not doing their job.

On June 25th, Army Lt. Brian Bradshaw was killed in Afghanistan by an IED, and his aunt wrote an op-ed piece for the Washington Post asking the “why” of the importance question. Lt. Bradshaw was one of 13 servicemembers who gave their lives for all of us since that date, and they should be equally memorialized.

My nephew, Brian Bradshaw, was killed by an explosive device in Afghanistan on June 25, the same day that Michael Jackson died. Mr. Jackson received days of wall-to-wall coverage in the media. Where was the coverage of my nephew or the other soldiers who died that week? There were several of them, and our family crossed paths with the family of another fallen soldier at Dover Air Force Base, where the bodies come “home.” Only the media in Brian’s hometown and where he was stationed before his deployment covered his death.

I remember Brian as a toddler wandering around in cowboy boots and hat, not seeing the need for any other clothing. He grew into a thoroughly decent person with a wry sense of humor. He loved wolves and history. Most Christmases, I gave him a biography or some analysis of the Civil War. He read such things for pleasure.

He had old-fashioned values and believed that military service was patriotic and that actions counted more than talk. He wasn’t much for talking, although he could communicate volumes with a raised eyebrow.

He was a search-and-rescue volunteer, an altar boy, a camp counselor. He carried the hopes and dreams of his parents willingly on his shoulders. What more than that did Michael Jackson do or represent that earned him memorial “shrines,” while this soldier’s death goes unheralded?

It makes me want to scream.

I know and I realize that journalism/television news is a business and has to make a profit, but there has to be some point in time where ratings be-damned, a network says “enough” of this crap. They may suffer ratings from celebrity-obsessed nitwits in the short-term, but in the long-term, folks will start to realize what real news is. And they’ll also begin to shun fake news that has very little merit past a 5-minute segment on “Celebrity XYZ Died Today.”

Shame on ALL of us for fomenting that celebrity culture. I pray each and every day that we as a nation and culture can overcome this.
