Conservatives Are Boobs When it Comes to Pop Culture
” Now that we are descending into nanny-state soft tyranny under the sure and certain leadership of our beloved Not-A-Dictator, we are going to need a Minister of All Cultures and my nominee is John Nolte of Breitbart’s Big Hollywood. First of all, I know Nolte so even under the new regime, I should be able to score copies of movies with all the offensive scenes still intact. And second of all, I’m beginning to think that he is the last sane man discussing pop culture in America except for me. And I’m not too sure about me.
Last week, the Noltenator ran a terrific piece defending funny man Seth MacFarlane from both left-wing and right-wing attacks on his off-beat, politically incorrect and also very amusing Academy Awards performance. Especially under fire was a song called “We Saw Your Boobs,” which named which actresses had exposed themselves in which movies. Critics on left and right called the song sexist, offensive, puerile, etc, and Nolte explained to them: shut the hell up.
” What strikes me as wrong-headed… is all this taking of offense and hurling of “ists.” I fear we’re becoming a nation of well-intentioned (sometimes) “Footloose” dads who see danger in harmless fun; where we cry “ist” to put a stop to things that make us uncomfortable; where — so “we don’t offend” and “for the good of others” – we build restrictions. And what happens in the process? We lose our own capacity for joy and that very healthy exercise known as laughing at ourselves.”

Andrew Klavan reviews the latest Batman flick and finds a libertarian statement , intentional or otherwise .
” There are, after all, no socialist filmmakers in Hollywood. There are only capitalist filmmakers (Michael Moore, for one) who make socialist
films. Likewise, none of the coiffed corporate multimillionaires who anchor the network newscasts can honestly support the Occupy
movement which, taken to its logical conclusion, would result in their being hanged from lampposts.
Yet while repeatedly tainting the free-market tea party movement with a racism it doesn’t espouse and linking it to violence it doesn’t
commit, many creatives and journalists lend moral support to the socialist “occupiers”—
underplaying the widespread vandalism, lawlessness and grotesque anti-Semitism characteristic of their demonstrations. “
We here at YouViewed tend to think the same as Andrew Klavan about Mr. Romney .
He strikes us as a man of integrity as well . Of course by way of comparison , his opponent makes most people seem honest and upright .
” Which may be the biggest point of all. I’m beginning to suspect Mitt Romney is an actual real live man of integrity. This is no small thing.
In fact, in light of his openly conservative agenda, it may turn out to be everything.”
Andrew Klavan has a great post over at PJmedia about NBC’s bogus 911 tapes and the attempted coverup that is must read material .
