Superman doesn’t have time to stop beheadings.
Went and watched a boring movie titled Superman tonight and thought some dialogue and thoughts should be shared.
Editor of the Daily Planet: I want to know everything about Superman including his politics. Does he still believe in truth and justice?
Does the filmmaker equate truth and justice to modern liberal/leftist politics? If he does than he is truly living in an ideological fishbowl. The only truth and justice being served in the world today is by the classical liberal/conservative activists. It is sad how the leftist ideologue has lost all ability to reason and see truth. Worse is how moral relativity has blinded them to true evil in the world. Justice to the left today is about not going into Rwanda, Sudan, Iraq, North Korea and every other hell hole on earth where people are suffering at the hands of truly evil despots. The truth is the left would rather go into Serbia to kill some Christians or the Sudan after all the Christians are dead. When is the last time a leftist has said lets cover Africa with DTD so that millions of African babies live each year? Never, instead we hear of science lectures where a University of Texas Biologist advocates killing off 90 percent of the earth’s population to a standing ovation. The last thing these people on the left want is millions more living each year.
The movie had a lot of flying. That is Superman flying around. The following scene is where Superman does his impress the girl routine by taking Miss Lane into the clouds. What a way to pick up the ladies.
Lois: The world doesn’t need a savior
Super Man: Do you hear that?
Lois: No
Superman: I hear everything. You say the world doesn’t need a savior, yet everyday I hear someone crying for one.
At this moment Daniel Pearl’s head being sawed off came into thought. There must be Islamofascist’s sawing people’s heads off right now Superman. Stop trying to impress a woman who could care less about you with glasses on, but gets hot and bothered when you put on the rubber suit. I also thought of Nick Berg, but dismissed him because Superman wouldn’t hear his crying till it was too late. Nick you see was a true believer. He believed right up until the moment they began severing his head from body that his executioners were his friends.
During one scene the filmmakers did show a montage of places around the world where Superman was off to save the day, yet surprisingly nowhere in the Middle East was mentioned. I guess the Middle East in Superman’s world is the only place on Earth where the people are safe and need no savior. Either that or he like the filmmakers is a moral relativist and sees nothing wrong with the beheadings. Or maybe just maybe, Superman doesn’t have time for 90 percent of our population. They are intended to die after all. _________________ "An activist is the person who cleans up the water, not the one claiming its dirty."

The article ‘Superman doesn’t have time to stop beheadings’ had two main thrusts.
The first was relevancy in our times such as where is Superman when beheadings take place. Debbie Schlussel in ’Sensitive Superman Returns’ points out, “In World War II, Superman's comic book inventors had him fighting the Nazis. Today, they won't dare show him fighting contemporary Nazis--Islamofascists. Lex Luthor working with Al-Qaeda terrorists, with both evil forces getting defeated--that would have been dynamic and exciting, a great plot. But, unfortunately, too politically incorrect, current, and exciting for the Hollywood culturatti.”
The second was about truth and justice as the filmmakers see it. Lost on me was the absence of the American Way. Not lost though was the filmmakers view of truth and justice. Tatiana Siegal in ‘Superman eschews longtime patriot act’ writes, "We were always hesitant to include the term 'American way' because the meaning of that today is somewhat uncertain," Ohio native Dougherty explains. "The ideal hasn't changed. I think when people say 'American way,' they're actually talking about what the 'American way' meant back in the '40s and '50s, which was something more noble and idealistic."
Popular culture and the way in which it forms opinion are very important for the continued health of our nation. Two out of three citizens will receive their world outlook from the comic, sports, lifestyle and op-ed section of their newspaper. Every day those same people will receive more and more of the information they absorb through the choir of their choice on the web. If we as a Nation are to survive then the battle of ideas must be fought on all fronts and with two out of three people receiving their outlook on the world through movies such as Superman, then yes the caped crusader is important.
Our country is currently at war against two nihilistic enemies, the Islamofascists and ideologically far left. These two enemies have allied and wish total defeat for the ‘American Way’. _________________ "An activist is the person who cleans up the water, not the one claiming its dirty."
