Hating Breitbart

Hating Breitbart

It’s been over a year since we lost Andrew Breitbart, although it seems much longer, and his departure is just as piercing today, as we confront an administration unencumbered by the rule of law, overseen by a politically neutered Congress, and whose actions are facilitated by a press whose slavish devotion to the left’s...

Most of you are aware of the horrific murder which took the life of independent actor and filmmaker, as well as loving wife and mother, Adrienne Shelly over six years ago. We’ve chronicled the struggle her widower Andrew Ostroy has waged in order to bring to account the negligent employers who allowed criminal alien...

Libertyfest

Libertyfest

As someone who had never attended Liberty Fest-this was its third iteration, as the banner onto which the shadow of radio and television personality Lionel is projected indicates-I didn’t come into the event with any preconceived ideas or expectations. Even though I had been to events organized around similar principles, an eight hour-long seminar/concert/bull session...

I’m not sure what...

Dissecting ‘Machete’ (Part II)

Dissecting ‘Machete’ (Part II)

As I noted in my previous post, one of the problems you face in analyzing “Machete” is the multi-pronged approach taken by its director. While obviously trying to exploit the intensified feelings surrounding the debate over what to do about illegal aliens that was engendered by the passage of SB 1070, Robert Rodriguez had...

My Critique Of ‘Machete’ (Part I)

My Critique Of ‘Machete’ (Part I)

I should probably preface this post with the caveat that it does contain numerous “spoilers,” so if you wish to see this film untainted by the disclosure of any plot lines, characterization, thematic development or surprise twists, I suggest you depart before the jump. I myself am not a fan of spoiler alerts, and...

The Hollywood Right

The Hollywood Right

Occasionally we like to take a break from the seriousness of current events and look at the lighter side of the immigration debate, which in this case involves the arrival of The Incredible Hulk to a state besieged by illegal aliens, the Obama Department of Justice, foreign governments, and self-righteous liberals.

Gatecrashers And Hollywood Double Standards

Gatecrashers And Hollywood Double Standards

  Doug McIntyre, whose nationally syndicated radio show Red Eye is one of my favorite late night diversions, has written a brilliant column exposing the hypocrisy of the Los Angeles entertainment community and their supporters within the California state legislature.

Immigration In Popular Culture

Immigration In Popular Culture

The eternal lure of migration and the appeal of the immigrant story writ large is something that Hollywood knows how to exploit with some degree of panache. American popular culture is filled with stories of exile and struggle and the Horatio Alger path to success that we presume most immigrants to this country want...
