Who Would Think To Make A Comedy About Assassinating A Current National Leader?!

Instead, the over-hyped film "The Interview" is now a blockbuster, with theaters packed by jingoistic bozos, while "Kill the Messenger" is relegated to a handful of art houses.

Useful idiots. Cheerleaders for empire of death.

It's even worse than that....if one knows the words to this song and this pledge - very sick. I heard last night this horrible film [by any standard] has now earned Sony more money than the release of any of their films, ever...in only four days.

.....viewers who flocked to one theater to see this over-hyped move kicked it off by collectively pledging Allegiance (to the United States of America) and singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee.'

In a 'serious' discussion of this matter on Al Jazeera, one 'expert' posited that N. Korea, after all, was structured as a kind of 'cult' with leadership worship and unquestioned belief in 'country'....I'd perhaps not argue this, but would argue that America is, as well!

The Pledge of Allegiance

I pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all.

(which almost ALL grade school and high school students in America pledge EVERY morning in class with their hand on their heart!)...and woe be to those who refuse [like I did!]

My country tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrim's pride!
From every mountain side,
Let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love.
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture fills
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song.
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
Our father's God to, Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King!
