Sorry to keep you waiting, DB, but I’m one of those people who has a job who’s going to pay for Obama’s grand spending plans. So I can’t spend all day on the Internet. Of course there’s a quite simple answer to your question. Contributions to one’s church are most certainly a selfless act of charity. By definition, if you contribute to something, with no expectation of getting anything in return, and in hopes that the money will be used to help others, that is a selfless act of charity. Now you, DB, can argue that my donations would be better spent on some other charitable endeavor, and you might even be right. But it doesn’t change the motivation of donation without expectation of benefit in return. Capisce?

The liberal media was never that powerful, and the whole thing was often used as an excuse by conservatives for conservative failures.

STAR WARS!

Also a very conservative type of movie. Rebels fighting against an oppressive communist style of government run by evil dictators. You have a free trade rebel, Han Solo, who has to smuggle goods to and from other star systems and at the same time you have a Princess who fights for a free republic. Woo Hoo can’t get any better.

THE DARK KNIGHT!

Without a doubt this fantastic blockbuster is a great conservative movie. Warrantless wiretapping, beating up criminals, whom libs love to protect, large corporations, etc. I’d love to see Batman punch out people like Al Gore, Keith Olberqueer and many other pansy libs.

Goober! Where have you been? You’re such a Goober. Don’t be a stranger. You always have something amusing to say. Which reminds me, the quote of the day is “Don’t take yourself so seriously, nobody else does.” I forgot who said that. Oh well, I better get back to work. The boss is coming.

“…unable to free himself from the selfish mindset that makes him unpopular with others, until finally, after repeated rejection, he decides he has to change and actually tries to help people. Why would conservatives relate to that, I wonder?”

Right…because conservatives are against the concept of helping people. Believe it or not, conservatives like the concept of helping people. We love it in fact. However, we believe philosophically that government is clumsy at most of the things it undertakes to do. So we disagree over how far the government should intrude in arenas you might characterize as “helping people,” because “helping people” clumsily often has the opposite effect. Most conservatives are not the white, angry misanthropes your straw-man argument presumes. We simply disagree with you over the role government should play in our everyday lives.

It’s hard to definitively label certain movies “conservative”. All in all, I’d say many of the Duke’s films were such…especially uber-hawk “The Green Berets”.

Bill @ 7:22 am – Interesting analogy to D. W. Griffith’s classic “The Birth of a Nation”. When it was released (1915), I’d definitely say it was “conservative”. Now (politically), I’d say it would be considered more of a White Nationalist film.

This might be a fun time to point out that the ajc/dnc troll was lecturing me the other day about how I allowed pundits to do my thinking for me.

If that seems like longer-ago than it really was, perhaps it’s because ajc/dnc has posted about twenty gazillion copy/pastes from the American Spectator since telling me he didn’t need no pundits tellin’ him how to think.

gots to run. Later, all.
