Anyone who denies the liberal slant is either stupid or dishonest.

The problem with liberals is that they equate their position with normalcy to the point that when they see a pro-liberal film (like this one) they can't even recognize it as liberal. They think it is fair and balanced. And when people call these films out on their liberal bias, the liberals respond with the same old, tired, and previously refuted defenses.

Hollywood is overwelming liberal. Leftists can name all the "conservative" actors they want. The proof is in the films that are actually released every year. Can anyone even name a "pro-conservative" film that has come out in the last two years?

"Funny how conservatives always equate "liberal" with "ethical.""

Actually, yes. It's amazing how the most basic shred of morality can be jettisoned if you simply call it "liberal."

Heard a story from an embedded journalist a while back who accompanied U.S. forces on a house raid in Iraq. As it turned out, the house had no military-age males; the people in it were rounded up outside and restrained anyway with bonds that were tied hard enough to draw blood. After everyone in the house had been accounted for, the journalists pointed out to one of the soldiers that the restraints were, in fact, drawing blood and could be loosened a little without causing trouble. The soldier just looked at her and went "You're one of those liberals, aren't you?"

Actually, she was an Israeli Defense Forces veteran (doubly to her credit since she was born American, not Israeli, and didn't have to serve) and as far as I know, politically apathetic to neutral. But hey. She has a basic shred of humanity in her, which makes her a goddamn liberal and means you can't listen to anything she says.

Same thing all across the board. Vietnam veterans like John Kerry, John McCain and Max Cleland who served their country at huge personal cost while most of today's neocons were dodging the draft via college classrooms with all these New Left elitists? Well, they disagreed with the neocons, so they're goddamn liberals, and you can't listen to anything they say. That policy of treating terrorism as a law enforcement issue and treating terrorists as common criminals, because if you acknowledge the political dimension of their crimes, you're giving them an honor they don't deserve? That was REAGAN's policy, back when international terrorism was first getting off the ground; now, it's the very definition of liberalism, which sucks, just in case you didn't hear us the first and second times.

So yes, there really is no inconvenient ethical objection that you can't overrule at once simply by calling it "liberal." But, of course, we're the ones with the bias.


Keep flying, son. And watch that potty mouth!

You're onto something. Not all conservatives fall into this classification, but there's a good amount who feel like they're being persecuted by what they perceive as the "liberal media". These people also tend to be straight, white males. (You know... the demographic that has historically been persecuted the least over the course of history. For the record, I am also a straight, white male.) They also seem to be completely oblivious that they themselves persecute the very people they claim to be persecuted by. It's super awkward. There are liberals who act similarly to this as well, but they tend to be minorities, and as such, it makes their perpetual wallowing in societal-inflicited victimhood exponentially less ridiculous. All in all, the constant whining is a plague on society and it should *beep* off.

Amen MedoSaber!! Someone who calls it like they see it. These 3 can say what they want with no repercussions because they are not in the political circle. They can sit back and rake in the dollars while their words stir this country into a tizzy. The world is crumbling around them and they're feeding off of it. It's disgusting!

"What the *beep* have you done lately?"

The great point in the movie is that the gov't trains them, and the private military corps kill them for a profit. The scariest things about private military is that they are not bound by the US constitution. At least the american militiary and those controling them, have restrictions set for in the constitution. These private militiary groups can do whatever they want, and are not answerable to anyone.

That's why they say reality bites.
