…United States; not Eastern Europe or Asia. Unfortunately, this is not the case with IATSE in Michigan and with the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) anywhere. SAG does their best to stop movies from being made instead of helping the independent producer hire their mass of unemployed. I will now give some examples of how SAG harms the independent. My first look deal is with Nu Image, Inc., one of, if not largest independent production companies in the b…

…de of America. Why? The answer is simple: cost. Because of the ridiculously high labor costs and other production costs in America, it is just simply not feasible to make a movie in America anymore; especially a lower budget independent film. And, unfortunately, this is a symptom of the entire economic problems facing America today. I would love to work in the United States and be home with my family, friends and my little kitty Sidney. I cannot…

…nd could hardly be called conservative, despite tax reform and an unflinching commitment to winning the war in Iraq. Now, four years after running a Progressive in (tattered) Conservative clothing, who would be “acceptable to independents,” the GOP finds itself lining up the circular firing squad to choose a nominee. As the Bushes before them, all the candidates, regardless of record or core belief, are giving lip-service to being Conservatives a…

…s best? Friedrich August von Hayek offers a profound negative argument. It is hardly ever worse! So experiment with this essay. Replace the “words” Liberal/liberalism with, Conservative/conservatism, Republican/republicanism, Independent/independentism (sic), and Libertarian/libertarianism. Is there not a certain “sameness?” That is until radicalism raises it ugly head. Is it radicalism that supplies the wedges of dissatisfaction, the hour of our…

…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”. Collectivism and totalit…

… 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 …

…orne Michaels, in which it was said, “Those impressions leave a mark.” It goes on to say that Lorne Michaels couldn’t be happier if his sketches have an impact on Presidential races. He may be a registered Independent, but the tone of his show is adamantly anti-Republican. And, evidently, he wants his anti-Republican show that leave voters with an impression that hopefully impacts elections. Just contrast the treatment of Geo…

… attacking Mormons like other Christians is politically okay. The goal will be to depress voter turnout among evangelicals for Romney if he is the nominee by emphasizing his Mormon background while throwing uncertainty among independent voters. The left and the media play by different rules and the media will forgive things with their chosen candidates that they will attack GOP candidates for. For 2012, we should not allow the left to control…

From this point, Europe has very few good options but Europe may be forced to a more decentralized union which based on each nation determining their own f…
