HP6 Fun Movie or Evil Movie
I saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last week. I have been a Potter fan for many years now, read all the books and enjoy the movies. Potter much like Jurassic Park is a much better book but the movies are fun. Now to the titular question. Is Harry evil exposing kids to witchcraft or what?
I'm going with or what. It's no secret I am a Christian and have been involved with Churches working with youth for half my life. So with that knowledge I think I am in a good place to say Harry Potter is not going to drive kids to witchcraft. I see Harry Potter and I see a story of the importance of friendship and family. The struggle between good and evil and the internal fight we all have inside us to choose the good. If you look closely you even see how govt intrusion hurts society and the importance of freedom.
The witchcraft in the movie is no different than the wizardry used by Tolkien in The Lord of the Rings or C.S. Lewis in The Chronicles of Narnia. Now I understand that J.K. Rowlings in no C.S. Lewis but that doesn't change the fact that Harry is wholesome story that will at the most have a small child waving a stick like a wand saying Aloha Mora (a spell to open a locked door {I think}).

Megan Fox; Shut Up and Act!
This is couple weeks old but it deserves some screen time. I was hooked till this leftist dirt bag opened her trap. Where classic Hollywood mostly held their activism to advocating for their causes, too many of today’s classless breed defines their activism through the hurling of rhetoric at the other side – at 50% of the customers. They do it up on the screen and they do it while hiding behind a Hollywood media-machine owned and operated by nut roots who mostly agree. I can live with passion, humor, disagreement and debate, that’s what Big Hollywood is all about, but ad homonym that dehumanizes is the tactic of a new generation eager to fit in with the A-list.
Today we have “Transformers” star Megan Fox, joining a growing club — spouting this hateful nonsense:
“Transformers” bombshell-cum-uninhibited philosophizer also contemplates — reluctantly — what she would say to Megatron to keep him from destroying the world. “I’d barter with him,” she muses to the July, issue Total Film UK, “and say instead of the entire planet, can you just take out all of the white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super bible-beating people in Middle America?” (H/T- Big Hollywood click the heading)
Um, those so-called white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super bible-beating people in Middle America are the ones who dole out $12 to see your films, you bimbo.
Well, they used to, anyway.
Any consequence is predictable. Worse case, if it looks like her display of ignorance might become a distraction in the coming “Transformers” hype-machine, Fox will apologize/explain on some venue like the “Tonight Show.” But the bottom line is that there will be no consequence within a community that finds that kind of talk about “those kinds of people” all okey-dokey. Will someone please tell Megan that pretty people should be seen and not heard? Besides, if she “thinks” too often, she may suffer an aneurysm where her brain should be. Of course this wouldn't be the first time I've been disappointed an a hot starlet... Jessica Alba!

Quick Point
"Nazi ideology sought to subjugate, humiliate, and exterminate. It perpetrated murder on a massive scale, fueled by a hatred of those who were deemed different and therefore inferior. It was evil." -TOTUS (Obama's D-Day speech)
But doesn't this also fit? "Radical Islamic ideology seeks to subjugate, humiliate, and exterminate. It perpetrates murder on a massive scale, fueled by a hatred of those who were deemed different and therefore inferior. It is evil."
I just had to point out while wildly different there is a parallel between then and now. But, somehow the POTUS can't see it.

Stop the Apology Tour!
If you go down the list of countries that hated us during the Bush years compared to the countries that hate us now you would find NO CHANGE. Obama's "We Suck" tour is not helping in any way, shape, or form. I have his top 10 mistakes linked to the title, from the trip to Cairo. He bows to foreign kings and makes us look weak all over the world. I get so frustrated watching the news wondering how he can top himself today? I saw a old speech given by Ronald Reagan today and it reminded me why I am a Conservative. From the time I was 6 or 7 years old President Reagan amazed me with his words and ideas. We are a shining city on a hill, for the world to look up to. We brought down the Soviet Union without firing a shot. President Reagan gave us real hope, real change. He never apologised for America and never stooped to the level of some sweaty mid-east king. Reagan built us up, while Obama tears us down. Reagan lowered taxes and spawned economic growth never seen before, bringing us out of Carter's nightmare. Obama is raising taxes like never seen before, telling us hard days are still to come and we need to tighten our belts while he goes on half million dollar dates with his wife on our dime. Creating a new nightmare that will dwarf Carter's. Reagan once said; "Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves." Obama's government grows at a rate we can't imagine and everyday he steals away a little more of out freedom. So go back read some of Reagan's speeches than think of how backwards Obama is doing things. Remember this Reagan line?; "Man is not free unless government is limited."

Why save them?
The main stream media (MSM) or dinosaur media as I've come to call it consist of TV, magazines and newspapers. All out of touch with the people and or democrat lapdogs. Even foxnews who is called the right wing news station seemed to back Hillary Clinton during the primaries.
Anyway the newspapers who have been loosing reader and subscribers for years are getting to the point where they are gonna start going under... out of business. But just like the govt. is bailing out insurance companies, banks and the auto giants, newspapers want a bailout. The problem with that is the reason the newspapers are failing is no one is reading them. A bail out won't change that. Talk about throwing money in the garbage. If newspapers stopped printing mindless dribble and leftist talking points maybe people would read them again. I had the paper delivered to my house for years but more and more I was frustrated by what I read. With that came the cancellation. Now I know with Obama nationalizing everything else (slowly buy surely) it seems like the next logical step, but the newspapers are already his spin doctors what more could he want from them.
The Internet has proven itself to be a far superior way to follow the news. If the papers wanted to survive they would change their ways to do so. It is time to let them fail. Goodbye New Yuck Times, Los Aimless Times and San Fransicko Chronicle. Your services are no longer required!
