<DIV>Thank you for your comments. I am certain that the liberals in this country are as brain dead as in yours. The only thing that will wake them up issomething catastrophic, like aterrorist bomb going off in their own home town. Then they will be squealing like stuffed pigs for the "good guys" inour military or yours to come and save them.</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>God Bless Texas!!!

To My American Friends:

Don't be fooled by the "divide and conquer" rhetoric out there. This is the classical tactic of the Saul Alinsky - liberal - socialist left wing propagandists. Look at the ridiculous comparison this poll is making. Of course, only 21% of Canadians supported George Bush in 2005. It was the bottom of the so-called war in Iraq. Things were going badly. The insurgents/terrorists were "winning".
But if the same poll using the same 1018 Canadians were taken in November 2001, the results would have indicated overwhelming support and approval for George Bush. American support for George Bush was strong for most of his first term in office. But as the war dragged on, there was a drop in public support on both sides of the border. No surprises here!!! What the liberal wonks in Canada want to do is to detach Canadian policies concerning the war on terrorism from America completely. How practical is that, assuming its even possible? We have a common enemy in the radical terrorists that would destroy our two nations and our common freedom.

According to government statistics, approximately 3 million Americans have lost their jobs since the recession began in December 2007. The question is, how much of this unemployment is attributible to Bush's policies and how much is attributible to Obama's policies? The honest answer is we don't know yet because President Obama has not been in office long enough for the full effects of his economic policies to have taken hold. Yet in the first nine months of his presidency, there appears to be little or no improvement in the employment picture for most Americans. The official unemployment statistic is still rising and is expected to continue to rise above 10 percent. My question is: will the race baiters like Jimmy Carter yell "foul" or "racism" if this situation prevails and the majority of the American people reject Barack Obama in the next election cycle of 2012. To put this in context, would African Americans be legitimately labelled as racists if they rejected a white president who had promised them more and better jobs, but didn't deliver?

I just lost my respect for Bill Cosby. He is a talented comedian and actor, but I just lost all respect for him. I thought he was smarter than this. Jimmy Carter is demonstrably the worst president in American history and a race baiter to boot. Carter has demonstrated over the years his hatred of Jews. He supports Hamas and other terrorist organizations. Now Jimmy Carter thinks that when a white congressman disagrees with the President, who happens to be black, or more correctly haf-black, that this constitutes racism. Nice try Carter, but the vast majority of Americans are not going to buy into it. Take your warped racist philosophy somewhere else and try to peddle it Jimmy Carter. No one is buying that crap here!!!!

<DIV>Well, you have certainly piqued my curiosity with your comments about IB. I may have to go see it after all ... maybe tonight in fact.</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>I agree that Tarantino's films are anything but snoozers.The fast paceand action sequences are usually enough to keepanybody pinned on theedge oftheir seat.</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>I assume that Hans Landa is an actor in IB. I never heard of him before, but I look forward to learning more about him. By the way, before I went on the "Intense Debate" website, I wrongly assumed that IB was just a remake of an earlier 1978 war movie by Enzo Castellari called "The Inglorious Bastards".</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>Not so. I looked it up on Wikipedia and apparently IB is a completely different.Tarantino has written a completely new script, and the story location is different and so is the plot. So I guess I will have to go and see it tonight.</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>I do admire the fact that Tarantino is a "risk taker". He doesn't just sit onthe "success" of his earlier work. He is courageous enough to strike out in new directions and try new ideas, even if mainstream film producers and critics are left gasping for air.</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>Mighty2Mouse</DIV>

<DIV>I am glad that you enjoyed it. I was merely expressing an opinion. I have seen most of Taranteno's other films and they were for the most part,predictable. I liked "From Dusk til Dawn" and "Pulp Fiction" best.His trademarkgrafic depictions of stylized violenceare getting a little 'thin' for me.Perhaps he tends to overuse it. </DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>

Quenton Tarantino is the "shock jock" of Hollywood 'B' filmdom. Most of his flims are pithy auto-erotic violent trash, but I still enjoy them as they are usually highly entertaining. That said, I will not likely go to see Inglorious Basterds at the cinema. Instead, I will wait for it to come out on blue-ray HD and then either rent or possibly buy it, depending upon the mood that I am in. Seeing dozens of Nazis getting splattered all over the screen may seen like worth while viewing, especially for those puffheads who enjoy such gratuitous violence, but it loses its shock value rather quickly once the first dozen or so are killed. This type of film has little redeeming value once it has been seen for the first time. On the other hand, Oscar winning films like "Schindler's List" are so much more gratifying to me, because of the humanitarian life-giving relief from the death camps that was given to hundreds of innocent Jews by a Nazi profiteer who had not just a change of mind, but of heart too. The fact that Schindler's List was based on a true story only serves to reassure me that perhaps there is hope for the human race after all.
