Truth, Justice, and All That Stuff???

New Superman eschews long time Patriot Act

That is the line pronounced by the "new" movie Superman. Quite deliberately according to its writers, "We were always hesitant to include the term 'American way' because the meaning of that today is somewhat uncertain," Ohio native Dougherty explains. "The ideal hasn't changed. I think when people say 'American way,' they're actually talking about what the 'American way' meant back in the '40s and '50s, which was something more noble and idealistic." Rea-He-He-He-Heaaaallly Mr Dougherty? Well, he is right about one thing, America has changed. The problem with his statement is our ideals have not. A statement like that of the above polarizes the view of certain groups of Americans who frankly do not believe in "The American Way"unless it includes social welfare programs, gay marriage, a state run health care system and abortion on demand. People who have been born of parents that worked their hardest to destroy it and raised them up to believe that our country, rather than being a force for justice, truth and goodness in the world, is a corrupt, self seeking invader, complete with stolen elections, unjust wars and attempted theocracy. Idealistic is the $10.00 word in that sentence. In fact it is not the American Way ideal that has changed, it is simply that Mr. Dougherty and people like him do not accept "The American Way" as the best way, the right way or the most humane way of government or nationality. The American way still means the same thing it did when Supe first dawned the American Flag during the cold war, when he beat up on Nazis in the forties. But because their liberal ideal will not draw a moral equivilent between Hitler, Stalin and Bin Laden or Hussein, because certain in our generation will not call sin by its name, because these same people view the masculine, ass kicking Superman as a cavedwelling thug who's image is not only politically incorrect, but as Mr Dougherty infers, even obsolete...

We get this, pansy metrosexual looking guy, saying "Truth, Justice and all that Stuff"



















Instead of This "Man", saying "Truth, Justice and the American Way!!!"




















Debbie Schlussel also has a good article along these lines
