Have you seen Avatar? Did you enjoy the movie? If so, consider yourself just another subliminally indoctrinated liberal that hates America and is helping to fund the destruction of the country and the support of a one-world government.

Or so some on the far conservative right would have you believe. Hilarious, isn’t it? Below are some of our favorite batshit insane quotes from reviews of the films by conservatives:

“The conclusion does ask the audience to root for the defeat of American soldiers at the hands of an insurgency. So it is a deep expression of anti-Americanism-kind of.” – John Podhoretz, WeeklyStandard.com

“Think of “Avatar” as “Death Wish 5” for leftists. A simplistic, revisionist revenge fantasy where if you freakin’ hate the bad guys (America), you’re able to forgive the by-the-numbers predictability of it all and still get off watching them get what they got coming.” – John Nolte, BigHollywood.com

“AVATAR and Copenhagen are both successes because they are part of the never ending propaganda movement to “save the planet” from you and me, the evil human beings. Just as AVATAR is science fiction, human caused global warming science is a fraud. But both live on in spite of bad reviews, scientific facts, and negative public opinion. AVATAR is pure eco-propaganda designed to subtly and not so subtly force the environmentalist agenda on us all.” – Dr. Richard Swier, RedCounty.com (BTW, the title of his review: “Recruiting Film For Eco-Terrorists?” I kid you not.)

“Yes, “Avatar” is cinema for the hate America crowd.” – Debbie Schlussel, debbieschlussel.com

Good news! Avatar has now become the third-biggest grossing film of all time, with a worldwide haul of more than $1.1 billion! The above must surely be thrilled!

    I can’t wait to see it with that buzz!

    Interesting that you should call names (“batshit insane”) those you disagree with but offer no rebuttal to the points they make. I’m not sure exactly what you find wrong about at least the first two. The movie does ask you to hate that militarist fool every time it puts those cliche ridden lines in his mouth and destroys when he has other options. And it does make you cheer when they lose. The other two are way over the top but one aludes to the anthropomorphizing of nature much like some environmentalists do. The other makes the point that forcing you to cheer for the defeat of Americans is, almost by definition, anti-American. Isn’t it?

    I saw the movie and liked it. But I found the lefty preaching and cartoon characters to be distracting from the weak but serviceable story line. Let’s agree that most people will like the movie and it will make lots of money but it won’t be a classic. Conservatives like me have to ignore the obvious slant of the politics and I’m just not sure what the point of that is if it isn’t trying to force views on people who are just looking for some entertainment.

    Great posting, I saw it coming on the eco angle, have yet to see the movie due to choosing clay spinning over movies for a little while. However when I saw the ads and saw the army going to destroy or do something to paradise I did see the eco influence in it.

    Great site, I read you on my blogline feeds,

    Keep posting,

    Your blogging friend Dawn

    I finally saw Avatar, loved it, but I thought coming out of the film, wouldnt movie goers get themselves into a tizz if the aggressors in the film were depicted as a different nationality.
    Favourite part of the film all the fluoro vegetation.

    I did read the entire article and understand the meaning of your words and what you have written, although being accused otherwise by some obsessed fans of mine HAHA

    I have not seen the movie and I am wondering did they want to cultivate the paradise?

    I have seen a commercial where they are holding up a piece of the rock or property and focusing on greed and money that they could sell it off? When you cultivate to many minerals and so forth it causes an ecological damage to the environment, you are aware of that right Michael?

    I am wondering is the writer of this article not aware that farm lands are being cultivated at the risk of the environment?

    Is that not what the army was doing in the movie? or am I misunderstanding the commercials and ads?

    I saw the movie – and I really didn’t think of the humans as Americans – so it is kind of strange to look at it that way. I just saw them as humans that ran a large company that had enough cash to have all those weapons. Kind of like if Apple and Microsoft merged and decided to take over another planet to mine some metal that powers their computers.

    O My Gosh! That movie was terrible. For me this movie was one of the biggest waists of my time only coming in second to Titanic. All those who see it will probably be blinded by all the cool graphics and sound effects. The truth is that it is total propaganda. I am convinced that there is a hidden agenda in this movie. The idea is that these “peaceful” people respect life. So how is it that at the end of the movie they can’t wait to go out and kill the military people invading their planet? Also we are all one and connected in some big network? What the heck? I admit that our ecosystem is a careful balance but this is taking it way to far. This movie is a perfect example of left-wing Hollywood trying to seduce the audience with their flashy movies into believing their leftist ideology. No thank you. I think for myself and no movie will change my mind because I know that it is not REAL.

    AVATAR is not an adult film. Adults should however see it.

    If you react like a child to it, if it has a “resonance,” political, cultural, religious or other in your being, you have certainly not grown up. You are, literally as well as figuratively, a child. In other words, chronically immature. If however, you see it the way I have…..and I append other references and opinion below:

    AVATAR is The New Age Narrative of the Liberal Utopia Fantasy Fulfilled…picturing the doe-eyed, peaceful and gentle cuddly forest creatures who are displaced by Haliburton, the corporate giant only concerned with quarterly reports and giant profits reaped through EXPLOITING THE EARTH (where everything is interconnected, inter-related, and inter-dependent) — in this case on another, far more beautiful planet. It is what Earth OBVIOUSLY looked like before Carlyle, Haliburton and Bechtel sucked oil out of the ground and armed Evil America through Dick Cheney.

    Interesting isn’t it, and predictable too, that the exploiters were not depicted as Russians or French, huh? As if Russia or France didn’t suck out oil from Iraq for a half century BEFORE the US invaded and put them out of business. In sum….

    AVATAR depicts how Haliburton murdered a tree.

  • Andrew

    continued…

    Haliburton is predictably helped along by Blackhawk, American mercenaries gung ho for the killing of innocent native-American Indian-like creatures — the same Blackhawk that allegedly deliberately murdered innocent Iraqi children and women who, connected by feelers in their tails and hands, pray, chant and meditate together in complete UNIVERSAL harmony to HEAL their planet, each other, the forest, and even the two human creatures who are there to help them.

    In other words, even the healing is left up to primitive superstition, chanting and meditation over modern science and medicine that can actually heal and prevent disease and injury. The Tooth Fairy is the planet full of gentle, healing spirits. The “primitive” is of unending attraction to the New Age types…as if the American Indian were not perpetually murdering each other; as if nature itself were not cruel, as if animals are not regularly and sadistically torturing and murdering each other in the wild. In AVATAR, except for being threatened, the ferocious wild beast live in peaceful and loving harmony with each other, only to exist to cooperate with their Avatar “friends.”

    The corporate giant Haliburton (predictably commanded by a young heartless Dick Cheney-type) is regenerated with massive, powerful, impressively-threatening high tech gadgetry and weaponry meant to demolish the tree…the Habitat for Humanity of the cuddly giant forest creatures. I tried to spot Jimmy Carter in the background, but he must have joined the forest creatures as an Avatar before apologizing for defaming Jews throughout his life. He must have been there, somewhere, holding tails with the chanting cult creatures while sucking down organic juice.

    AVATAR is a cult film in the strictest sense of the word. It is silly beyond belief. One does not need to suspend one’s child-like beliefs; one needs to literally become child-like in perpetuity to admit to a psychological resonance with Cameron’s world view.

    One needs to actually believe that Che Guaverra was not an out-and-out racist and a good man, and Hitler, Mao and Stalin really didn’t mean it after they murdered 100 million human beings.

    Oh boy……just exactly what I thought……

    I suspected that the movie Avatar might have an influence on politics,and even have political fallout,and I was right.Although it’s just a Hollywood fantasy film,the kooks and nuts of both radical left and right are crawling out of the woodwork.On the one side,it’s praised by liberals as depicting how Bush,Cheny and the corporate criminals of America beat-up on small countries like Iraq for their oil and natural resources.On the flip side,Avatar is condemned by right-wingers as hidden propaganda agenda of unpatriotic,communist,socialist,anti-American tree-hugging environmentalists.Oh brother……all this nutcase politics over what is tantamount to just sci-fi Hollywood fantasy.

    I thought it was a very well done movie. I think a lot of effort and time was put into it’s creation.

    As far as it giving out messages, well, of course it does, don’t most movies try to convey some sort of message or “moral of the story?”

    In the end, though, as most have said, it is Just a fantasy movie. Watch it, enjoy it. Take it for what it is. You either like it or you don’t.

    I highly doubt that this movie is going to spawn a revolution.

    Ahhh, I can see it now. A bunch of hippies all painted in blue attacking the politicians. Now that would make room for a great comedy.
