For a president who once said the U.S. shouldn't get in dumb
wars, it's insane for Obama to engage in saber rattling over the
international controversy involving a motion picture company, although
he does seem to have walked it back some according to recent news
reports. Why did the motion picture company make the particular stupid
movie that started the controversy in the
first place, thereby provoking a nation with nuclear weapons? Why
is Obama defending a company whose executives insulted him because of
his
race behind closed doors, and probably insults a host of other people
of African descent? It's not even clear who started the cyber attacks
on this company, and besides, this motion picture company, that's not even an American company, should have
to stew in their own problems and messes, which appear to have been
created by their own arrogance. The government
shouldn't get involved in this matter at all other than if there were
or are credible threats
against public domestic security. This whole mess that the motion
picture company started is pathetic, though at least it could start a
wider philosophical discussion about so-called
"entertainment" and degenerative movies that have no redeeming value,
and the coarsening social climate that comes with them.
This is Not "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" by Any Stretch of the Imagination Despite a recent council campaign, I have plenty of energy to continue a different campaign for U.S. representative that will bring the people's constitutional rights to the forefront, among other matters.
