Our heroic actors. Where would we be without their shameless defiance and nacissism?

Film actress Susan Sarandon has revealed how she felt isolated and frightened by death threats and verbal attacks after she criticised US policy in Iraq.

That’s classic. Sarandon thinks she has problems. She should try criticizing the Religion of Pieces.

In spite of the lack of attempts on her life and zero persecution from the thoroughly corrupt and terribly inept Bush Police State Sarandon courageously continues to spout her negative message in public and have it echoed in the media:

“Stop supporting Bush and the war crimes,” she said. “It’s not working. No matter what you think their role is, it’s not happening. So before you sacrifice anyone else you should pull out.

In Sarandon’s world “war crimes” are committed whenever someone crosses her politically. And she’s not the only one. Sarandon’s husband Tim Robbins says:

“We have right now a media that is willfully ignoring the high crimes and misdemeanours of the president of the United States,” the star of Hollywood hits including “Mystic River” and “The Player” told reporters.

“Clinton lied about a blowjob, and got impeached by the media and Congress,” Robbins said.

“(Bush) got us into (the Iraq) war based on lies that he knew were lies. … His war has recruited more Al-Qaeda members than Osama bin Laden could ever have dreamed for … yet no one in the media is calling for impeachment,” he said.

No one in the media is calling for impeachment? Robbins and his buds certainly are “in the media” ad nauseum. Hmmm, that couldn’t be it. He must be calling on reporters and journalists “in the media” to tear off their masks and go Cronkite. Interesting but unlikely.

“Unfortunately, the book and the play is more relevant now than it ever has been,” he said. “(It) talks about continuous warfare as a means to control the Western economy, and as a way to control rebel elements within society through the use of fear, constant fear.”

“In my country we seem to be sanctioning renditioning of innocent people without trial … put them in jail without telling anyone … and torture them out of suspicion of what we think they might do,” Robbins said.

The horror of continuous warfare is an archetype of the Left. For them a cabal always scheming to cause trouble and generate fear is not difficult to imagine. Why? Consider the constant flow of cynical and hypocritical bile from the left. Fear of the Police State. Fear that your benefits will be cut off and you’ll be thrown in the street. The protests. Demonstrations for this, against that, whatever their infantile collective guilt complex tells them is the trendy bleeding heart cause to march for today. Always shrill and ready to preemtively shout down opponents. Nobody else’s rights matter but theirs. No sense of the irony. They are pacifist activist hypocrites who don’t recognize the Jihad as the true continuous warfare afflicting the world.

When jihadis attack those able to defend themselves, like the US military, what would the Gitmo gadflys like to happen? Most jihadis expect to die. They want to and many do. The lucky ones are captured, fed like sheiks, and get to pray and read the Koran all day. Give them a few black eyed virgins and they’d recognize Gitmo as their promised paradise. Should we let them go and wish them well while they plan the next 9/11? Or would it be considered torture to remove them from paradise? Gee that’s a tough one. Tim Robbins can sympathize with the bastards. I don’t.

Jodie Foster is another superstar bubbling over with love of country:

Besides slamming the general state of the nation, Miss Foster also graciously offered up her views on the country’s “miserable” response to Katrina and the way we have allegedly squandered the world’s goodwill since we went to war. Some commencement address. Perhaps for an encore, she can hand out pieces of rope to each of the students so they can form a noose and hang themselves from the rafters of the auditorium since we’re such a crummy, hopeless bully of a country.

And yet when someone who has a legitimate and powerful role on the world stage is invited to be a commencement speaker, but is a vital part of the Bush Administration, the list of protests by faculty and students is a mile long. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice might just be the perfect commencement speaker, a black woman who rose from poverty to become an architect of foreign policy and a widely respected member of a presidential cabinet. No less than two hundred faculty members signed a letter of protest after Boston College invited Dr. Rice to deliver the commencement address there. Two hundred out of approximately one thousand faculty members at Boston College have signed this ugly petition.

The most miserable thing about Katrina is that some people continue to milk it. As if any response to a natural disaster of that scale could have been flawless enough to please them. What is most miserable for them is that the US economy did not collapse because of Katrina, or Rita, or the 12 other hurricanes, or Iraq, or the immigration protests, or the gas prices, … Imagine how loud they’d whine if the economy had any serious problems. Well it doesn’t, but they whine anyway.

Now comes the time when we synthesize.

The war and US policy in Iraq is just one facet of the long-standing clash between Western civilization and Islamofacist jihadism. Raging outward and rolling over neighboring civilizations since 622 AD the jihadis have recently upped the ante. They murder innocents around the world with conventional explosives every day. They seek and will eventually use more severe weapons. This situation is so far past obvious that even movie stars looking at the world from their private jets should see it clearly by now. Instead a preponderance of these elites choose to regurgitate the pacifist and defeatist lines: America is to blame, Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11, nothing has been or will be gained in Iraq, and we are doomed to lose especially if we try not to.

You can call my view apocalyptic, confrontational, reactionary, racist, xenophobic, arrogant, nationalistic, or whatever you please. Dismiss me. That won’t change the fact that today’s leftist pacifism is worse than false, it’s suicidal. I know they imagine they can negotiate peace for our time. They will embrace their conquerors and be conquered. It is inevitable. Some will emulate the Vichy French. Unfortunately the fusion of leftism and Islam produces at best police states like Sadat and Mubarak’s Egypt or Saddam’s Iraq, and at worst Islam purges the leftism to produce an Iran or Taliban-like theocratic state.

I would like some other choices.
