\"\"<\/a>So, according to Ain’t It Cool News, the new G.I. Joe movie is going to feature an international fighting force rather than a \u201creal American hero.\u201d <\/a> In addition, G.I. Joe will now be an acronym for “Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity” to make all the multilateralists giddy with excitement.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Well, according to a Fox News report, \u201cThe word is that in the current political climate, they’re afraid that a heroic U.S. soldier won’t fly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now this is deeply stupid on a number of levels, and, ordinarily, I\u2019d like to take the time to rant about this. But this time I won\u2019t. OK, perhaps I will, but just for a moment.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s going to watch a movie like this? People who want to see G.I. Joe wouldn\u2019t be remotely interested in the Global Integrated Johnkerry whatever. And the John Kerrys of the world wouldn\u2019t be interested in G.I. Joe, so why cater to them? Are you really that embarrassed by your country, Hollywood, that you can\u2019t bring yourself to put a patriotic hero on the screen?<\/p>\n

End rant.<\/p>\n

Because this news report exposed something even more terrifying: a bunch of people who commented on this article are total liberal weenies who loathe America. And if there really are millions of people who think like them, this nation is doomed.<\/p>\n

Think I exaggerate?<\/p>\n

I quote from the article\u2019s \u201ctalkback\u201d section:<\/p>\n

This Liberal is really sick of the s— you conservative a– monkeys have done to this great country. Just because you’re all closeted self haters who have to think of the President to make love to your wives doesn’t mean you can continue to blame us for your f—ing up the country. You’re hyper nationalism belongs somewhere else comrade.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m not sure what\u2019s more appalling here \u2013 the ideology, the vocabulary, or the grammar.<\/p>\n

The idea that America represents all that is good, righteous, and freedomtastic is OVER. Its been over for awhile (actually, if it ever was true), but now? After Bush and his Oil Baron cronies effectively turned the US into a Theocratic Imperial Power? After the human rights disaster of the Iraquagmire? Please. In the eyes of the world, and in at least 50% of the US itself, we are no longer even remotely aligned with anything good, righteous, or freedomtastic. We are the bad guys. Period.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yikes. We\u2019re a theocratic, imperial power? I wonder how this guy would do under Sharia law.<\/p>\n

\u2026to the neocon mind, “fair and balanced” = you agree with whatever Bush says regardless of the fact that everything he has said has proven to have been either:<\/p>\n

1) a bald-faced lie resulting in the deaths of untold thousands of innocent women and children both at home and abroad or<\/p>\n

2) So far off from the real world as to represent a kind of Bizarroworld Drydrunk Narnia like affair for retardo theocratic redneck f—tards who just want to kill as many non-white, non-christians as possible regardless of the utter lack of justifable pretext.<\/p>\n

And that doesn’t even take into account the Bush regime’s monsterous incompetance. Worst \u2018president\u2019 EVAR. Seriously, how many people still support the man? Like 10% of the country? Please. Just stop it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Take note. Hatred is not a coherent argument. And learn to spell. Dumbest post EVAR.<\/p>\n

Does this frighten anyone but me?<\/p>\n

These are probably the most egregious whiners over there, but many more bellyache about how rotten America is because the whole world hates us.<\/p>\n

And when, exactly, did the world love us? When Clinton was president? When Carter was president? Golly, the world sure despised us when Reagan was the guy at the top, and then a funny thing happened.<\/p>\n

The Soviet Union went away.<\/p>\n

That wouldn\u2019t have been the case if we\u2019d all taken Jimmy Carter\u2019s advice and gotten over our \u201cinordinate fear of communism.\u201d Hey, Jimmah! We didn\u2019t get over our inordinate fear of communism. We got over communism instead! And guess what? The world \u2013 or at least the world Carter cares about – loathed us for it.<\/p>\n

The Eastern Bloc countries didn\u2019t, though. It\u2019s been said that, even today, Poland is the most pro-American country in the world \u2013 including America. They recognize that America isn\u2019t an \u201cimperial\u201d nation or a \u201ctheocracy.\u201d If it were, Iraq would be a whole lot more stable, because we wouldn\u2019t be wasting time trying to avoid slaughtering civilians or trying to get the Iraqi government on its own two feet. We\u2019d have our warlords in power demanding tribute and killing those who didn\u2019t comply.<\/p>\n

And, no, that\u2019s not what we\u2019re doing now. If you think that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing, you\u2019re probably a regular at Ain’t It Cool News.<\/p>\n

Which do you prefer \u2013 adoration or freedom\/security? Because you can\u2019t have both. Bush is making the hard choices that require something liberals don\u2019t have \u2013 the strength to endure hatred in order to be right.<\/p>\n

Fact is, I don\u2019t give a crap if the world hates us. The world respects us. The world fears us. We\u2019re in charge. And the guy in charge doesn\u2019t usually get to be loved. Deal with it.<\/p>\n

And if you can\u2019t make a good G.I. Joe movie, don\u2019t make one at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"So, according to Ain't It Cool News, the new G.I.
