The March of the Left VS the March of the Penguins

By Lee Ellis

Are there any good movies today? My wife and I finally found one that was awe-inspiring. But it took a long while to find one!

With the Cultural War capturing most of Hollywood and the entertainment industry, our TV shows and cinema houses are now sending out many destructive messages.

Fed to us constantly are the views of the Cultural Left that instant gratification is an accepted and normal way of behavior. Expected, as a result, are sex as a right on the first date, profanity in mixed company, rude behavior, lack of manners or etiquette, and, of course, grossness and violence. The music on CDs and videos teach these and worse such as the killing of police and demeaning of women. Nothing is left to the imagination anymore!

The daring teen costumes in music videos have moved into retail stores and from there into the schools and the business world. Parents have either lost control of their children or have been propagandized by the cultural left to believe that their kids are miniature adults and therefore their judgment must be respected. Propaganda teaches us that we must always be politically correct which really means that we must tolerate all bad behavior and never be judgmental over anything, no matter how bad.

Consumers are upset by the way they are treated in stores and other service establishments by new employees who believe what they see on television or in the theaters. As a result, business people are now rushing to buy Jacqueline Whitmore's new book, "Business Class," just to learn how to behave in the business world.

My wife and I have not been willing to see many new movies or even able to enjoy most TV shows anymore. So it was a joy to see a great moving picture come into the mainstream of the entertainment industry this past month --- "The March of the Penguins."

Actors - None! It is a reality show of the life of the Emperor Penguins who live in the cold water and icy land of the Antarctic. This NOT animated, but actual beautiful photography! It was created by the photographers of the National Geographic, who had to brave the icy blasts of one of the cruelest winters I have ever seen. How they did this without losing both lives and cameras is amazing. To learn about nature, history, geography and also witness extraordinary photography, see and enjoy the life of a family of penguins and how they practice monogamy, true family life and the nurturing of their children.

In addition, take your own blow at the Cultural Left by refusing to pay for or help advertisers with any entertainment which promotes the continued deterioration of our society. Help shut down this propaganda mill.

Remember, too, that in addition to destroying society by lowering the standards of behavior, the C.L. also dumbs down America by lowering educational standards as well. This makes it easier for the enemies of the Republic, as created by our founding fathers, to take over our federal and state governments and establish a different type of control similar to what has happened in Europe , England and Canada .

There are some signs that we are beginning to fight back and turn the corner.

The Ninth "Circus" court ruling against a cross on a war memorial in San Diego was just overturned and a vote was allowed by the residents of San Diego . The War Memorial will now stay there on Federal Land as approved by over two thirds of the voters. {mosgoogle right}

Also, the Senate voted this week, 98-0, to allow U.S. military bases to continue to host Boy Scout events, responding to lawsuits and a federal court ruling aimed at severing relationships between the government and the youth group. Senator Frist said it "removes any doubt that federal agencies may welcome Scouts to hold meetings, go camping on federal property or hold scouting events and public forums" on government property.

This is just in time because in 1999, the ACLU of Illinois filed a lawsuit claiming the Pentagon's sponsorship of such Boy Scout activities violated the First Amendment. Cultural Left advocates have assailed the Boy Scouts organization because it compels members to swear an oath of duty to God.

So, niches are beginning to appear in the armor of those who are attacking American values as inherited from our past.

Can we win? It depends on where you stand in this battle? Are you willing to let the Cultural Left take over this country or will you speak up and work against those who wish to destroy our values through the courts or through the propaganda of the entertainment world?
