I wonder if this brave admission helps him sleep better at night, knowing that he and his war cheerleading ilk were directly responsible for shattering tens of thousands of American families. Actually, when we consider the costs of that war, he and his ilk shattered MILLIONS of American families, who will suffer when the US can no longer make the interest only payments on the national debt and either 1) devalues the dollar due to hyperinflation, a la Zimbabwe, or 2) the US defaults, and China, Japan and a bunch of little old American widow women find that their T-bonds are now worthless.

Them bonds made worthless by the GREAT SOCIETY welfare shit going on for near 50 years now.....allllll else is bullshit.....

BUT, yes, I was against iraq 2 myself.....because I knew sadass was running a scam game PR stunt on the weapons shit......

Yes, The Lego Movie.

I'm not one of the "Best Picture" people, but I sure as hell think it should be up for Best Animated feature, and Best Original Screenplay.

I mean, tell me this isn't the clearest, most intelligent display of liberal/PC kook/tolerance culture hypocrisy you've seen in cinema lately...



No consistency indeed.

Yes, the liberals are the good guys in this movie, but look closer. They're also morons, with no leadership, no commitment to an ideal outside of themselves and no plan for a future beyond right now.

The movie is actually smarter than most of the people that saw it.

Haven't seen it but want to. What was the reason he died at the range?

He was murdered by a fellow vet whom he brought there for therapy.
He took fellow vets to the range for lessons as therapy for vets with PTSD..

And you are willing to turn to violence with those you disagree with.

On a crazy train?

This is one of those movies that I want to see, but I don't want to see...because I know I'll be depressed at the end.

Forrest Gump was a movie that I thoroughly enjoyed, but had a horribly sad ending and I have never wanted to see again.

I feel like this will be the same way...great, depressing movie.

I saw Taya Kyle speak at the 2013 NRA convention in Houston. Such an amazingly strong woman. That touched me in an amazing way. And her husband, Chris, was such a great hero.

In most a thread hijack is something one is shamed for... here, it's a popular sport.

Saw it in IMAX tonight. The battle scenes are pretty intense.
Movie is very well done and I doubt there were too many dry eyes in the house with the way Clint handled the end of the movie.

This is one movie everyone should see

I'm a big fan of military movies/books. Saw American Sniper and I didn't like it. Give it a C. Will have to read Kyle's book. If he did hit Jesse Ventura, a man 23 years older than him and probably drunk, I have no respect for Kyle. I was a fan of Jesse in his Governor years, then later he got freaky and lost respect for him.
