Haven't learned their lesson, have they?


An American Carol tanked at the box office and Expelled had to be shown at private showings to get its numbers up.

Reich-wing propaganda films always perform like *beep*

But the Christians gobble this junk up, and that is all they care about. They preach ignorance to the choir, who nod their heads like sheep and agree with every word no matter how incorrect and ignorant it is.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

Yeah this is different from an American Carol and Expelled. Those films were conservative display pieces. The idea with those is that they'd have people like Rush, Beck, Hannity and others would get behind them giving them free press and push their audiences into seeing them. But their expected audience has usually already spent their money to see a Larry The Cable Guy movie instead.

This however isn't really a political film. Yes it has a conservative slant to it but the film isn't about being Republicam/Tea Party. It's a Christian morality film like the schlock Kirk Cameron is turning out. It'll fly under the radar of the majority of the movie going audiences but it'll be on the shelves of every Christian book store in the country. It'll probably sell enough copies to turn a profit because, "it's a wholesome family film with good moral values... [and blah blah blah boring]."

It seems like it does have a decidedly political tone to it, as it deals with the separation of church and state and the supposed "War on Christmas."

While it seems to deal with the "war on Christmas" to me it seems to deal more with the separation of church and state. It just happens to use decidedly religious Christmas decorations as the focus. Why do Christians think my opinion that the govt money and land should not be used to promote religion a "war?" I enjoy Christmas and particularly like churches, homes and even private businesses that promote the religious aspects of Christmas. But I don't want taxpayer dollars/govt resources going to promote Christianity...or any other religion for that matter.

The resolution was practical, reasonable and correct. They got to display their stupid graven images (which they aren't supposed to make to begine with)...afterall.

I saying that it seems that the conflict is framed using the conservative "War on Christmas" theme that they trot out every year around the holidays, at least according to the trailer.
