Socialist Porn from the late 90's


This movie really shows you how bold liberal fascism had become after 8 years of Bill Clinton, and just how scorned the left was after their hero was brought up for impeachment. While I can deal with the laughably non-subtle endorsements for social progressives: the "teach not preach" reference, Marg Thatcher was no good, Hate Crime endorsement, dismissing all religions as "fairy tales," vegans vs meat eaters, etc... But her final speech in the film... Oh, my God...

So, let me be absolutely clear. I stand for a woman's right to choose (killing unborn children). I stand for the elimination of the death penalty (but amnesty and life for murderers). I stand for a strong and growing armed forces because we must stomp out genocide on this planet... (building a military state) I stand for seeing every gun taken out of every home, period. (Pissing on the bill of rights and subjegating citizens under said military state) I stand for making the selling of cigarettes to our youth a federal offense (because this is what our prisons should be filled with: nicotine users). I stand for term limits and campaign reform (Just like Obama fixed, right?). And, Mr. Chairman, I stand for the separation of church and state, and the reason that I stand for that is the same reason that I believe our forefathers did. It is not there to protect religion from the grasp of government, but to protect our government from the grasp of religious fanaticism. (WRONG. Jeffeson established this so that the Federal Government could not interfere with faith at the State level and vice-a-versa.) I may be an atheist, but that does not mean I do not go to church. I do go to church. The church I go to is the one that emancipated the slaves (slaves were not freed by vote but by executive decree), that gave women the right to vote, that gave us every freedom that we hold dear (the government does not give us freedom, but is charged with protecting it... We are free by virtue of our existence.) My church is this very chapel of Democracy that we sit in together, and I do not need God to tell me what are my moral absolutes. I need my heart, my brain, and this church.
(So basically she's endorsing a new religion of atheist fundamentalism, based on mob rule, with no regard to the Bill of Rights or individual liberties, and based on incorrect historical references.) CLASSIC SOCIALIST PROPAGANDA. And retarded.

Unbelievable. But then again, without crap like this, we never would have had South Park. Oh well.

You nailed it. Her speech angered me so much I could not believe it.

I also couldn't believe I wasted so much time watching this HORRIBLE movie! 😡

If anything, it was "Democracy," or "mob rule" in this sense that ALLOWED our early government and citizens to ignore and violate the Republic of Law establishing that all people were created equal and entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These idiots are priceless, claiming to have "saved" women and minorities when they were the ones subverting the Constitution to keep them in chains. It was Unionists (Republicans)putting a military boot up the ass of the Confederate (Democrats)that finally made slave states adhere to established law, not Democracy.

Oh spare me. "Liberal fascism?" And what would your beloved Evangelical Tea Party Oligarchy craving Republicants do? Gut the FDA and the EPA and the DOE and the CDC and OSHA and every other agency that protects the water, air, food supply, worker rights, researches clean energy, so the big fat military industrial complex can get richer? Five or six more needless trillion dollar wars? A pipeline that will wreck environmental disaster so two billionaire brothers can become trillionaire brothers? Keep on chugging the Limbaugh/Hannity Kool Aid.

Exactly your flaw and a typical straw-man strategy from a leftist. The post mentions the bill of rights and history, and not any of your assumed ramblings meant to assign some sort of imaginary blame that somehow affords you moral authority. You're so quick to a go into your canned rhetoric because it's the only defence mechanism you have to empirical logic. You lick the boots of the elitist ruling class because, like a sheep, you actually believe they are both looking out for you, and also have super-powers like controling the weather, and purging the evils of human nature... by giving them tax money of course (carbon credits)... or by "regulating your rights for a fee" of course (gun control). I'm a libertarian. Not a republican. I'm also an atheist. So people like you who think a "central planner" in a suit is the answer to all of your imagined problems scare me WAY MORE than Republicans, becuase you are exactly the same cancer that fundamentalist christians are: Hypocritcal, Religious Fanatics that want to rule over others at any cost. You are nothing but a lap-dog. Keep ignoring the fact that Georeg Soros is a billionaire criminal who funds the left at 4X the amount the Koch Brothers do for the the right. And at least the Koch brothers actualy employ thousands of Americans. Keep ignoring that CONGRESSIONAL mandate and a terrosrist attack begat the post 9-11 wars and that most of the intel used in the decision was from THE CLINTON ERA APPOINTEES. Keep ignoring the fact that every pipeline we've created in the past 50 yeasr has had ZERO enviromnmental impact, and in two cases, actually HELPED repopulate endangered artic wolves who live primarily on rabbits and small rodents that burrowed beneath the infrastructure. But by all means, keep transporting and procuring that oil in safer ways, like in leaky ships and from Muslim extremists. And by the way, Richard Nixon, a republican, created the EPA and the FDA. Teddy Roosevelt, another Republican, created the FDA. Go smoke another one, Marxist Scumbag. Like all structures held togther with bubble-gum and *beep* your time to crumble is at hand.

Well Said Sir.

Bravo.

What I find so hilarious about the speech is that she admits to what I've been accusing liberals of for years, which is that the state - more specifically, the federal government - is their church.
Liberalism most certainly is a religion (or cult), and its church is the government.

reply

Liberamism is a religion? 😷

What is indeed hilarious is how many more right wing nuts have actually watched this movie, or so does the comment board indicate.
The speech isn't the message of the movie but a provocation from a fiction character thrown in the ropes by hypocrites.

You have the right to your own opinion (abortion = killing children), not to your own facts, unlike what Newt Gingrich recently claimed...

🤣🤣🤣

You are deluded.

....open a window and get some air.

The fanatical leftist cultism has grown even worse since most of these comments were made nine years ago. Far worse.
