The Conservative Movie
In other news... the College Republicans (yes I still get email from them) have decided they need to plug the new democrat bashing film An American Carol, which you might have seen advertised on CNN if you were watching the debates last night. A right wing lovefest of Bill O'Reilly talking points and Rush Limbaugh medicated wanks, the film is filled with all the juicy bashes conservatives seek.
I say power to them. Its about time they get their own movies outside of Mel Gibson's films and al Qaeda videos. Fiction can be fun, and given the buttwhopin they are about to receive, I think its the least Hollywood Liberals can do to provide them with a fantasy world in which they can revel in their own conservative glory. Just clean off the seats after its over...
I, however, will be joining the rest of young America by seeing Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist... omg!
Without further ado, I give you the latest CR email from Mr. Jack St. Martin
"WHY, AS A CONSERVATIVE,
YOUR MOVIE TICKET MATTERSThe courageous conservative comedy from David Zucker opens in theaters nationwide this weekend. Everyone is watching to see what happens.
Hollywood. The media. The Left. Yes, even Micheal Moore.
Will the pro-American, pro-military, and pro-faith movie AN AMERICAN CAROL beat Bill Maher's anti-Christian RELIGULOUS or Oliver Stone's anti-conservative W. in theaters?
Only you and I have the ability to answer that. Why? Because our decision whether or not to buy a ticket to AN AMERICAN CAROL will determine the outcome.
If we show up to the theater this weekend for AN AMERICAN CAROL, then more conservative movies with conservative actors will be made.
If we stay home, well, then more movies by Oliver Stone and Bill Maher will be at our local theater.
It's that simple. If you love America, support her men and women in uniform, and want to join like-minded people at the theater for some fun …
Then buy a ticket for AN AMERICAN CAROL at www.americancarolers.com
And laugh like your country depends on it.
Thank you for your support.
