Hot Air Blowing in the Windy City

The following excerpt is found at this link http://hughhewitt.townhall.com/ to the Hugh Hewitt website. I suggest you read the whole story. My comments follow this excerpt. Yesterday the City of Chicago successfully pushed the German American Chamber of Commerce to drop New Line Cinema's The Nativity Story as a sponsor the traditional German Christkindlmarket. City officials said the new film --segments of which were going to play on televisions at the market-- "might offend non-Christians." Chicago, the windy city. Seems like a lot of hot air is blowing out of the mayors office in Chicago. This is ridiculous to drop a sponsor because a few people might be offended by the images of the story of Christs birth. Nobody is complaining about the offensive material we see daily on our televisions or that run in our movie theaters. Where were these people when the movie Saw III was been shown in theaters or for that matter trailers of that movie on TV. Aren't the horrific im...

Chick Flick or not Chick Flick

Chick Flicks, the bane of every man's existence. Granted many of these so-called "chick flicks" do have quality acting and beautiful scenery. They are however wrapped in frustration and sprinkled with teasing romance. Men need to feed their thirst for movies on the action and speed that is represented in such fine movies as Mission Impossible or any Bond movie or any movie that contains car chases and blowing up of buildings and vehicles. Sure men like a good love story but it needs to be raw passion and not repressed love. I however don't recommend a movie full of nudity and promiscuous sex, these scenes are worthless and unnecessary . I admit it! Yes I have sat through my share of chick flicks. Some much better than others but I would never recommend a chick flick to my friends or relatives. Instead I like to recommend those with suspense, action or humor. With that said here is a list of 10 all time got to see movies. Some of these are old and some more recent t...

Rosie O'Donnell

When Rosie O’Donnell said “radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like the United States,” she generated a lot of controversy. Various segments of the population – especially those who are conservative Christians – had a strong reaction to her words. To learn how Americans react to a television personality challenging the nation’s most widespread faith, read the latest Barna Update. To get this free, brief report, click here on the link below or go to www.barna.org and click on the main story. Please read the full story of the above excerpt from the Barna Group. I would like to comment on those words spoken by Ms. O'Donnell. These words were likely spoken out of hate and based on the images that the dinosaur media projects about Evangelical Christians. Statements like these from celebrities are generally shallow and based on no foundation of truth. If Rosie O'Donnell were to really dig deep and read both the Bible and the Koran she would sh...

Mel Gibson

All of hollywood is screaming that Mel Gibson is an Anti-semite because of racial slurs he made while drunk. I do not at all condone his behavior and it is absolutely wrong for him to make such comments. But it is interesting to note that those who scream and call him names are the very ones screaming for the United States to not support Israel. Seems to me they are the true Anti-Semites. They don't want Israel to protect themselves from terrorists instead they want them to stop the protecting and sit back and get killed themselves. Those in Hollywood should look at reality and stop hiding behind the fictious world that they live in and have created for themselves. Mel has apologized and I hope he makes amends for his words. Now it is time for Hezbollah to apologize to Israel and make amends for their actions.
