… seemed on the superficial level to offer continuity, it was actually an ideological reversal, back to the Liberal wing of the Republican Party. Though he lambasted his opponent Michael Dukakis, tarring him with the “Liberal” label, which Reaganism had turned into a dirty word, Bush himself was every bit a Progressive. His admitted trouble with “the vision thing” prevented him from continuing with Reagan’s unfinished work: shrinking government, e…
…e Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said in an e-mailed statement. Labor unions and Republican lawmakers have urged President Barack Obama to approve the pipeline, which would carry 700,000 barrels of crude a day from Canada’s oil sands to refineries on the U.S. Gulf of Mexico coast, because they say it will create jobs and help the nation become more energy independent. TransCanada said the project may add 20,000 jobs. TransCanada fell 6…
… of these circumstances, the use of the word hero is trivialized. A deeper problem is that ides of myth, legend and story hold a society’s culture together. The concept of the hero is central to these. By misapplying the hero label and refraining from using it when needed takes our culture in the wrong direction. I hope we can recover the sense of propriety about who we call a hero and what they did to be considered brave before it’s too late. A …
…of the Obama Coalition”, Thomas Edsall, by pushing “takers” into a non-working, entitlement, nanny state, socialistic philosophical ideology. Republicanism is not lost but it is certainly a candidate for a “Progressive Lite” label….or what as “Congress is Useless” all about? http://www.hollywoodrepublican.net/2011/11/congress-is-useless/ And all that is supported in academia today is under the myth of “academic freedom”.

… while you are reading that these problems are prevalent in all of the industries mentioned above, as well as others, not just the film industry. Independent films and many studio films are now shot mostly in Eastern Europe, Canada, South East Asia and/or South Africa.

…rgy from our friends to the north, not our enemies overseas. All he had to do was approve the Keystone XL pipeline to bring Canadian oil south to Texas for refining. Oh, but that would be dirty energy, taken from oil sands in Canada, and our radical hippy Commie environmentalists demand that all our energy to be clean with a refreshing lemon scent. Where’s the commitment to renewables? “Barack, you used to be cool!” “I’m still cool,” says the Pre…
…ones that can actually act. SAG has jurisdiction against producers only within the boundaries of the USA. They are not recognized outside of the United States and hence have no controls. Many other countries such as the UK, Canada and Australia have their own actor’s unions which are considered sister unions of SAG. Because of this lack of jurisdiction, SAG cannot force producers to shoot movies outside the USA under its collective bargaining …
… demand, net US imports of oil and petroleum products increased by 400% from 3.16 million barrels per day in 1970 to 12.04 million barrels per day in 2007. The largest net suppliers of oil and petroleum products to the US are Canada and Mexico, which supply about 30% of the US daily oil demand. Another 28% of this demand is supplied by other countries, including OPEC nations such as Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. This means that the US domestic prod…
…rael. Obama’s policy shift which no longer supports Poland-based US missile defense plans for Europe. Our embarrassing presence at the UN during the rants of Chavez, Ahmadinejad and Kandfi while other nations, including Canada, walked out. The unprecedented rise in Fox News ratings as virtually all of the other television media ignores or marginalizes significant conservative stories, including the March on Washington.
