Disrupting the Narrative of the New Left, its allies in Academia, Hollywood and the Establishment Media, and examining with honesty the goals of cultural Marxism and the dangers of reactionary and abusive political correctness.
THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
“Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.”-George Orwell
Prepare yourself at 9 p.m. ET for the magic that only a seventh-year State of the Union speech can create. Every SOTU is a political Groundhog Day but tonight's looks to be more repetitive than usual - tax hikes on the rich, some whining about the Citizens United decision, a few studiously vague sentences on "progress" made in negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, etc. Seventh verse, same as the first. What's novel is the new reality in Congress and Obama's reaction to it.
Having just seen Democrats obliterated in an election which he himself sold as a referendum on his policies,The Oneis going to greet the Senate's Republican majority by…doubling down on the policies that got obliterated. He calls that "playing offense." Conservative commentators, recognizing that Obama's proposals are going nowhere legislatively, aptly call it trolling. The more he irritates the GOP by pushing bills they want nothing to do with, the greater the chance that they'll engage him in a war of words, supplying media oxygen for those bills. Better to have them preoccupied with rejecting his proposals than pushing popular ones on him, like Keystone approval, that he'll be forced to reject.
So that's what you're in for tonight, a solid 60-75 minutes of the most powerful man in the world essentially trying to irritate his opponents because he now lacks the votes he needs to actually get his agenda passed.David Frum asks an interesting question, though: What if the GOP isn't Obama's only target tonight? When you look at the redistribution ideas he's offering, like funding "free" community college by taxing the 529 savings accounts that middle-class Americans are using to pay their kids' college tuition, it's hard to imagine the public turning against the GOP for opposing him. But it might set a progressive benchmark that a certain not-so-progressive Democratic frontrunner might be reluctant to defy...
There was a line before the theater even opened. All bought tickets for #AmericanSniper. Can't wait to finally see it!

Shocker? It's directed by one of the greats, stars one of the most popular actors, and is about an American hero. pic.twitter.com/0vDLjaZcu4

@Matthops82 I think what they meant is that "Hollywood and the Democrats" were shocked. Everyone else not so much.

By the time Oscar polls close 2/17, AMERICAN SNIPER could well surpass the box-office totals of the other 7 Best Picture nominees combined

AMERICAN SNIPER's fourth top-grossing theater in Manhattan, top-grossing state California. So clearly not just a Red State phenomenon.
— Lou Lumenick (@LouLumenick) January 18, 2015
I don't think it's mathematically possible to get to a $90M opening from just business in the flyover states.

I'm absolutely thrilled that the ass-kicking success of American Sniper is chapping the anti-American hides of progs like @MMFlint.
— SFK (@stephenkruiser) January 18, 2015
It's OK, @MMFlint. So what if American Sniper beat Fahrenheit 911 by a 4:1 margin on their respective opening weekends?
— Nathan Wurtzel (@NathanWurtzel) January 18, 2015
You think maybe @MMFlint's insult might have something to do with @AmericanSniper obliterating Box Office records right now? Lol
— el Sooper Ù† (@SooperMexican) January 18, 2015
Chris Kyle was a sniper so you could spew vile, untrue, pathetic words like that @MMFlint. You're welcome. You should be saying THANK YOU.
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) January 18, 2015
YOU are a coward @MMFlint, you wouldn't dare say those words directly to any U.S. sniper, you hide behind a computer screen #AmericanSniper

Comparing AMERICAN SNIPER to the fake Nazi propaganda film from the end of INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard
