Since we've no alternate secular history, we really don't know how they'd act, relatively speaking.)<br /><br />2- Dems generally support immigration, Repubs are more commonly opposed. Secularists are overwhelmingly liberal. Thus, w/o looking at explicit numbers, it stands to reason that secularism will do nothing to help you anti-immigration cause, unless we fantasize that the trivial secular wing of the GOP is solely responsible for any and all immigration opposition. If this wing hand any influence, the GOP would be the party of abortions, genetic engineering, cyborgs etc. This isn't the case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-65161680094077608532009-08-18T05:18:56.467-07:002009-08-18T05:18:56.467-07:00Atheism is not a doctrine preaching mass murder.

You can find any race of actor who will play virtually anything. Occasionally you will step on a "land mine" actor, someone who is all PC'ed up, but in my experience it's rare. Show people are exhibitionists and (without strict agents) will appear in almost anything that promises to be fun (and pays well).<br /><br />Also, unless you're making something horrible like The Turner Diaries, you'll find actors of all political stripes including roughly your own.

I did say to do the film in CGI like the recent film Beowulf where actors are filmed against green screen and the tailored to look like the story demands (e.g., Ray Winstone becomming the 6'7" Beowulf). CGI is getting quite good and you can make the characters look real. The Flashman novels are quite expansive and it would be much cheaper to do them this way. Additionally, given that Flashman is historical fiction, it would be nice to actually use photos, paintings, and sculptures to make the characters look like they acutally looked (e.g., Abraham Lincoln looking like Abraham Lincoln). This isn't a misplaced faith in technology, it is simply a tool to do something cheaply that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive. Additionally, if you want to film something as un-PC as the Flashman novels without debasing them, it would be easier to use CGI because that would obviate one of needing to use non-white actors who might object to playing the roles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-90757791710407279362009-08-16T15:31:36.334-07:002009-08-16T15:31:36.334-07:00"It ain't atheists settling thousands of ..."It ain't atheists settling thousands of Somalis and Nigerians in the American heartland - it's... the United States government.

The book indulges in politically incorrect stereotypes/archetypes, lampooning liberal moralism and corporate greed, as well as portraying whites and (especially) non-whites as realistic, complex characters that are neither wholly good or bad. Like many of MacDonald Fraser’s books, they portray the good, not just the bad, about white civilization and impact upon the world in the 19th century and shows that non-whites were not just victims or high minded actors. MacDonald Fraser’s books revel in the glory of the British empire/Western Civilization, while at the same time showing it ‘warts and all.’ There is a distinct message: Yeah, we may sometimes have been bastards, but so is everyone else and, since we’ve done a damn sight more in advancing civilization than everyone else, we should feel proud of ourselves vis-à-vis those other bastards. Though presented as the farcical adventures of the scoundrel, Sir Harry Flashman, the subtext of the stories as a paean to British/Western Civilization and un-PC depictions and attitudes towards race would be a good thing for beaten-down and demoralized Westerns to internalize if they want to stand up and preserve their civilization.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-87984827467433055332009-08-14T14:55:56.274-07:002009-08-14T14:55:56.274-07:00James Kabala said:

I haven't read Flash for Freedom, therefore I don't know whether it would make a good movie or not, but if it features a character played by an actor CGI-altered to look like Obama, it will be stupid regardless of whether the script, acting, etc. are any good.”<br /><br />James, condemning anything without reading it is stupid (kind of like Bubba denouncing the Bell Curve and at the same press conference saying that he hadn’t read it).<br /><br />Here’s a summary of “Flash for Freedom” on wikipedia: <br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_for_Freedom!<br /><br />Here are two reviews/descriptions from Amazon:<br /><br />Review:<br />'His best yet' Auberon Waugh<br />A portion of Flashman's followers, who have tracked the peregrinations of that Victorian rotter through European-based adventures in survival, may find this excursion on the American slavery scene a bit too strong. If there's anything that bothers Flashman about slavery it's the smell and occasional gore, to which he's introduced after being shanghaied [by his wealthy Scottish industrialist father-in-law to get him out of sight after being (falsely for a change) accused of cheating at cards with Disraeli and Lord Bentinck] aboard a slave ship captained by a piratical whip-wielding former [Oxford] don given to Latin homilies. After a trip to Africa to pick up cargo, Flashman lands in America, shifts identity, gets involved [actually is impressed into service by] with starchy Abolitionists [under the false assumption that he’s a Royal Navy secret agent working against the slave trade], finally escapes with a female slave (there's a chase across the ice before he has a chance to desert her) and is almost netted by a government inquiry. Abraham Lincoln (who recognizes another "humbug "when he sees one), appears twice as Flashman's savior, scum on the groundswell of history. Another bawdy progress with much jolly "rogering" (the sex euphemisms have a period charm) and very black humor handle with care. (Kirkus Reviews) <br /><br />Product Description:<br />A game of cards leads Flashman from the jungle death-house of Dahomey to the slave state of Mississippi as he dabbles in the slave trade in Volume II of the Flashman Papers When Flashman was inveigled into a game of pontoon with Disraeli and Lord George Bentinck, he was making an unconscious choice about his own future -- would it lie in the House of Commons or the West African slave trade? Was there, for that matter, very much difference? Once again Flashman's charm, cowardice, treachery, lechery and fleetness of foot see the lovable rogue triumph by the skin of his chattering teeth.<br /><br />The “Obama-like” character, George Randolph, does not play a major role in the book. While trying to escape custody of the US government after being arrested while crewing aboard a slave ship, Flashman falls into the hands of abolitionists who mistakenly believe that he’s a Royal Navy secret agent working against the slave trade and is sympathetic to their goals. They force him into escorting Randolph, described as a haughty and insufferable mulatto, via the underground railroad. The abolitionist leader, Crixus, makes reference to how intelligent Randolph is for a negro and then adds that he has mostly white ancestry (portraying the hypocrisy of the abolitionists (allegory for modern white liberals) who view blacks as their little pets). On the course of their journey together, Randolph is extremely unpleasant and uppity. When reading the book, I couldn’t help having a vision of the character as Obama, exuding the disdain of ‘the self-styled negro intellectual.’ Flashman eventually ditches Randolph to save his own skin when the latter is recognized by his former master on board a Mississippi steamer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-58452387507143934292009-08-14T13:20:33.222-07:002009-08-14T13:20:33.222-07:00The fact is, Christians of various stripes have be...<i>The fact is, Christians of various stripes have been driving politics in america in a leftwards direction.

Free trade, out sourcing, and open borders are the reason this recession has and will drag on so long. The low skilled jobs have been wage busted so that illegals are the only one's willing to take them and the semi-skilled, good paying manufacturing jobs are mostly gone, and according to Obama during his speech at the Getty Center in 2008 they are "jobs that are not coming back". Let's not forget about insourcing with all the visa programs importing workers to depress professional wages. <br /><br />The social issues will work themselves out, but I see nothing wrong with righting the wrong brought upon by Roe Vs. Wade. Even if it does not get overturned, it would be an opportunity to use current medical technology to show how well developed an otherwise easily abortable child really is. At least lets have it brought before the Supreme Court again if for no other reason than to replace the shoddy case law that it was established with.
