In other words, idiocy from a Hollywood director. As a commenter asks, who would he rather be in a room with — a hundred white “right wingers” or a hundred Jihadis? I too would hope he’d be true to his beliefs. I wouldn’t make book on the state of his neck afterward, though.

“Well, you have to keep in mind that in Leftist Hollywood comparing 100 million or so Americans to terrorists is what-you-call a resume enhancer. (If you just say that about the Marines, it’s called ‘Avatar.'”
Ironically, the blue jungle aliens have a lot more in common with the Tea Partiers than they do with the party(ies) James Cameron had in mind. We’re fighting against Obama’s own brand of eminent domain.
Dad, you’re the most dangerous thing on the political landscape because you’re a sixty-year-old white conservative,” and that’s more terrifying than any jihadist.
What? That’s a perfectly reasonable state of affairs. If when I reach 60 my son thinks I’m far more dangerous than a jihadist, I’ll be pleased. I fully intend to be.
I can see crediting the man’s political philosophy; being a conservative does tend to push you in the direction of the self-reliance and independent thinking (not to mention proficiency in small arms) that make Hollywood film directors and jihadis nervous.
But I don’t get this bit about crediting his race. I mean, if anything, I’d expect a black 60-year-old conservative to be still more tough-minded, given the still larger amounts of hostility and vicious accusations of Uncle Tommery from the hive mind of modern liberalism up with which he’d have had to put.
It’s just more of that soft bigotry of low expectations, isn’t it? This poor fool can’t imagine a gray-haired black man could aspire to squint down the barrel of his .44 at some whippersnapper goofball wanting to lift his Social Security check, key his Ford truck, or bring down an airliner with a home-made bomb and growl through his dentures: So, punk..do you feel lucky?
Many of them say this kind of crap knowing that their core audience will never see it, but it keeps them in good graces with their peers. The folks I know that really like Smokin’ Aces are my gun-toting, 2A loving buddies. Much like Megan Fox talking about how if alien robots tried to invade, she’d try to bargain with them by giving them the “anti-gay, bible loving part of the country.” That would be the part of the country that made her a millionaire many times over for Transformers.
One of the commentors on my weblog noted that among his liberal friends, they would rather have the underwear bomber as a seat mate on an airplane than Sarah Palin. I thought it was suicidal devotion to principle but he says it’s because the idea that bad consequences can result from (their) good intentions is inconceivable.
My guess is that Benedict XVI had in mind the part in Genesis which states that “Male and female created He them,” thus proclaiming distinct maleness and femaleness are part of the Divine Plan of Creation, and any blurring of the distinctiveness of the sexes is destructive to that Plan. Also, I think that it is more hurtful to allow sodomites and people who self-mutilate to continue in their self-destruction without pointing out that such behavior has an impact on all of Creation. But, that would be “truth,” a concept which militant homosexuals and their mutilated allies apparently find abhorent.
