In order to distract myself from the, as Spencer so eloquently put it, “America Sucks Tour” I have been thinking once again about all the awesome movies I have seen.  I love movies.  But sadly some of them I will not see any more unless they are on TV because of their R ratings.  What movies do I long for?  Well, here is my top-ten list of movies that tempt my natural man.

10.  Blackhawk Down

  9.  Predator

  8.  Dirty Harry

  7.  The Untouchables

  6.  The French Connection

  5.  Saving Private Ryan

  4.  Terminator

  3.  T2

  2.  Die Hard with a Vengeance

  1.  Die Hard

 

And finally, the best definition of liberalism I have seen.

“Yes, something very ugly has surfaced in contemporary American liberalism, as evidenced by the irrational and sometimes infantile abuse directed toward anyone who strays from a strict party line. Liberalism, like second-wave feminism, seems to have become a new religion for those who profess contempt for religion. It has been reduced to an elitist set of rhetorical formulas, which posit the working class as passive, mindless victims in desperate need of salvation by the state. Individual rights and free expression, which used to be liberal values, are being gradually subsumed to worship of government power.”- Camille Paglia 2009
