Secular Café: Conservative fever-dream as a movie

Secular Café For serious discussion of politics, political news, policy, political theory and economics and events happening round the world

Conservative fever-dream as a movie Sep 14th 2012, 19:46 Seriously ... Quote: Last Ounce of Courage is a remarkable film. And I don't mean that in a good way. It opens and closes with quotes from Ronald Reagan that essentially celebrate war, and the movie's clear-cut message is that the rights of decent, God-fearing Americans are under constant attack (i.e. from liberals) and must be defended at all costs. ... Quote: Marshall Teague plays Bob Revere, the mayor of a small town and a decorated war veteran. He proudly sends his son off to combat, then is devastated when he dies, leaving a wife and infant behind. Fourteen years later, Bob decides it's time to become a soldier again when he sees Christianity being erased from his community. The cross has been taken down from the facade of a local church because someone found it offensive. His now-adolescent grandson gets in trouble for bringing a Bible to school. The last straw comes when Bob is told that he's not allowed to put Christmas decorations in the town square because it violates the separation of church and state. Everywhere you turn, Bob says, people are declaring war on Christmas! I'm pretty sure New York City has a rather sizable Christmas display every year, but whatever. http://aisleseat.com/lastounce.htm
