This shit isn’t that hard to figure out.
Tupac H. Christ. Even by WSJ op-ed standards, this is one stupid fucking article.
There seems to me no question that the Batman film “The Dark Knight,”
currently breaking every box office record in history, is at some level
a paean of praise to the fortitude and moral courage that has been
shown by George W. Bush in this time of terror and war.
That’s because you’re a fucking idiot with only three functioning neurons.
Like W, Batman is vilified and despised for
confronting terrorists in the only terms they understand. Like W,
Batman sometimes has to push the boundaries of civil rights to deal
with an emergency, certain that he will re-establish those boundaries
when the emergency is past.And like W, Batman understands that there is no moral
equivalence between a free society — in which people sometimes make
the wrong choices — and a criminal sect bent on destruction. The
former must be cherished even in its moments of folly; the latter must
be hounded to the gates of Hell.
George W. Bush is Batman? Really? And these people say that we on the left have a hero-worship problem with Obama?
Why is it, indeed, that the conservative values that power our defense
— values like morality, faith, self-sacrifice and the nobility of
fighting for the right — only appear in fantasy or comic-inspired
films like “300,” “Lord of the Rings,” “Narnia,” “Spiderman 3” and now
“The Dark Knight”?
You conservative dickwads are really grasping at straws, aren’t you? Look, fucknugget: black-and-white morality is a fantasy. Thus, it can only exist in fantastical stories. When you try to put things in real-world terms, shit gets fuzzy really fast.
And did you actually see any of these fucking movies? Batman and Spider-Man are constantly agonizing over the morality of their situations. To call these “conservative” movies is just ridiculous. But, then again, ridiculousness is a hallmark of the American right-wing. Also, take a look at this sentence:
Like W, Batman is vilified and despised for
confronting terrorists in the only terms they understand.
Again, did you see the same movie I did? Everybody in Gotham City fucking LOVES Batman. There are a bunch of copycat Bat-people running around trying to do the same thing. And George W. Bush isn’t vilified for confronting terrorists. It’s more likely that he’s vilified for failing to capture Osama bin Laden, running around shitting his pants during the worst terrorist attack on American soil, fucking up two wars, destroying the economy, dicking around while a whole city drowned, alienating the rest of the world, and generally being the Worst President Ever.
If Bush actually did something to confront terrorists, I’d be the first one to cheer for him. But that would have required doing the right thing in Afghanistan, and not embarking on the bizarre and wasteful invasion of Iraq. Which, you know, made the whole terrorist problem much, much worse.
Does this douchebag really believe the shit he’s spewing?
Fuck this. It’s Friday, and it’s damn near shot-thirty. All you peeps have a good evening.
