May I have your attention? Let’s bring out our endearing man of the hour, President Barack aka Barry Obama. “I’m just too charming, ladies, and this just might up my ratings,” he thought. Most likely this is how he made the decision to do The View rather than to visit the Boy Scouts, which has been a tradition and marks a one hundred year milestone. Hmm, what should it be? What will bring up the ratings? Not what is right, or decent.

100 years of the Boy Scouts. You would think, now that is an important event. Or is it? Do not the children and adults for that matter, need role models? What a great opportunity for our President to visit with the boy scouts as every President has done in the past. But no, let’s give the children a reason to feel unappreciated, when their own President chooses a TV show rather than showing and teaching these young men a thing or two about responsibility, their country and all those good things one can think of. And think of the pride those young men would feel, being able to say, “The President came to see us!” How excited do you think they would be?

Artist Andy Warhol’s assertion that everyone will have at least fifteen minutes of fame in their lifetime seems to have gripped this generation at the heart. Is it proof that talent has abounded in this special generation or that being like the stars is the only way to verify an otherwise insignificant existence?

I happened upon a crowd of people some years ago who were gathering by the hundreds in New Orleans famous tourist area known as the Riverwalk Marketplace. They were there to audition for American Idol and in only a few minutes the crowd of wannabes swelled to perhaps a thousand or more. The air was filled with expectation, bustle and electricity even as eyes sparkled with hope and boundless anticipation. I have pondered the sight endlessly since then and I have followed the meteoric rise of the American Idol television production.

An article by Danielle Berrin in this week’s Jewish Journal about Oliver Stone’s intention to make a documentary putting Hitler “in context” shows how far Mr. Stone has strayed into the realm of fantasy. I suspect this effort will probably illustrate just how often the bong is passed around Mr. Stone’s house, as did his film JFK, which was riddled with invention and dramatic licence of the most misleading kind stretching the ‘willing suspension of disbelief’ to the breaking point.

I do so hope that we are not going to be treated to an examination of the part that the “appeasers” in Britain and Europe played in the march towards the outbreak of World War II as if this was not already well known. The motives, activities, sympathies, and personalities of the “Cliveden Set” and their camp followers are all public knowledge today and there is little that Mr. Stone can add, other than his fanciful interpretation, that would enhance our understanding of that time in history. If, on the other hand, he made a film about the “appeasers’ of today, then he might find himself, along with many of the Hollywood glitteratti, in one of the leading roles.

This year, 2010, father’s day makes its one hundredth birthday in America. It is celebrated in over fifty five countries around the world. Television wasn’t commercialized until 1948. Leave it to TV to slam a 100 year old tradition with only a few careless and thoughtless words, before about 30 million people.

It is no secret that Hollywood and media is the right arm of the liberal apparatus. It is a rolling ball of fleshy indulgence and twisted morality that crushes everything it falls on like an Oklahoma twister. It scoffs at tradition, morality, Godliness and human dignity. It reduces everything to its lowest common denominator in personal behavior and our collective national life. Why should Father’s Day escape?

Apocalypse Now has the big movie stars. Platoon has the budget. Full Metal Jacket has Kubrick; but Forgotten Heroes has the truth. When history does what history always does best and shakes itself loose of the blistering lies told of and about America’s involvement in Vietnam, it will be Jack Marino’s Forgotten Heroes that’s first acquitted. – Review by: John Nolte

National Socialist Propaganda

By ROBERT STARK

Over the last year or so, there have been countless movies about the Nazis and the Holocaust, such as the The Reader, Valkyrie, Defiance and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. A popular new film,  Inglorious Basterds directed by Quentin Tarantino and produced by the Weinstein brothers is promoted by Hollywood and the press as a fictional tale of a group of Jewish American GI’s led by a redneck Lieutenant played by Brad Pitt, who seek vengeance against the Nazis in occupied France during WWII. Throughout the film there are many gruesome scenes of vengeance, including scalping and torture.

Eli Roth, who plays a leading role in the film as the “Bear Jew,” says that the idea of vengeance is “…almost a deep sexual satisfaction of wanting to beat Nazis to death, an orgasmic feeling. My character gets to beat Nazis to death. That’s something I could watch all day. My parents are very strong about Holocaust education.” On a similar note, one of the film’s producers, Lawrence Bender, told Tarantino that “As your producing partner, I thank you, and as a member of the Jewish tribe, I thank you, motherf–ker, because this movie is a f–king Jewish wet dream.”

Only in America can the lecherous leanings and extra-marital shenanigans of a dirty old man result in ratings gold and a national conversation.

The David Letterman Show scored its highest ratings yet as he aired his sexual proclivities in public under the guise of apologizing to his wife for betraying her with a variety of casual sexual partners. Partners, who, by the way, could have lost their jobs on Letterman’s whim if they somehow displeased him. Or if Letterman ran out of Viagra.

Under the new rules implemented by self anointed elites, if a person is a celebrity, the normal rules of decent conduct are suspended. Unless, of course, the celebrity is a conservative. If only former Senator “wide stance” Livingston were a Democrat, he’d have a restroom named in his honor. And probably his own personal peephole to boot.

Instead, as a member of the left, Letterman is accorded membership in the most valued and largest growing group in America. He is now an official ‘victim.’ And shame on those little tarts who used him in order to advance their own careers or merely to scratch a transient sexual itch.
