The
article below is written by Eric Allen Bell, a filmmaker who was
recently banned from blogging at the “Daily Kos” because he wrote
three articles that ran afoul of the mindset there, specifically naming
“Loonwatch.com” as a “terrorist spin control network.” This article
first appeared in our Feb 7 issue and we have decided to rerun it due
to the massive interest and reaction it received. [FRONT

As I looked at a
sea of Palestinian flags and college kids banging on drums I felt a
certain frustration – frustration based on a series of events that have
changed my world view.
In the Summer of 2010, having recently escaped
Hollywood, CA to take a much needed break from my profession as a film
maker, I was driving in my car listening to a story on NPR. It
seems the people in my new home of Murfreesboro, TN were up in arms
over the proposed construction of a 53,000 square foot mega mosque, to
be built in their small town in the middle of the American Bible Belt.
I listened carefully, to the sound bytes, of those who had shown up to
a town hall meeting to voice their opposition and, as someone who was
rather new to the South, I was surprised by what I was
hearing. “America is a Christian nation and there is only
one God and his name is not Allah and his son is Jesus Christ” and
“America is a Christian Nation” and “These Muslims do not share my
values and I don’t want them in my backyard”. Growing up in
Southern California, I had never heard anything like this before in my
life. And I started to follow the story with great interest.

Everything I have told you up until now – this
version of my story – is exactly how I was seeing things up until
something changed. I went home to Los Angeles ... [Full].

The scales have fallenfrom his eyes.
ReplyDeleteThere is hope for some.
Interesting he noticed the youth indoctrination, just what we've been saying for a generation.

I feel the same way. Some at least are figuring things out. When that somebody makes movies, it's very good news.
ReplyDeleteIt's a damn shame that no one will get to see his movie because of the leftists and the peaceful ones.
ReplyDeleteGood article though & one can only hope his awakening spreads to others.
That was an excellent series. Thanks for posting that, Rodger.
ReplyDeleteI often get disheartened about liberal control of the education system. Then I run into youngsters who are fully aware that what they are being spoon fed is 100% BS. Thank the gods for truth like this available on the internet.

Reading this guy's article, I see that his head is still stuffed with liberal lies:
ReplyDelete"Have I become a Conservative out of all of this? Not really. I still oppose the invasion of Iraq. I still feel that all wars should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. I still think that George W. Bush was one of the worst things to happen to America in my lifetime. I still support marriage equality. But I’m also still pro-life. Do you see a trend here? I support human rights and oppose anything which I perceive to be in violation of human rights."
As far as I'm concerned none of that precludes him from being a conservative. Some might say that being pro life does but some of those ideas are solidly conservative (He capitalizes it. Outside of GB I have no idea what that means). That's how I came to conservatism - I slowly realized I always was one.
