My local channel is playing it twice per night. Tonight is the episode #4 of 7 total. The series pauses over the weekend and finishes up next week Sun, Mon, Tue nights I believe. <BR/><BR/>The political correct policing-of-history battle behind this series was extraordinary. Googling turns up long news stories about the minority lobbies pressuring Burns to change his work. Burns swore he would not alter the product to accommodate political interests. But from what I saw last night, Burns bowed down to the powers that be.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/visualart/333123_latinos27.html" REL="nofollow">The battle behind Ken Burns' 'The War'</A><BR/><BR/>Each episode is two hours and last night's episode included at least 30 minutes of awkward anti-white guilt-tripping. Awkward because it clashed so hard with the warrior and battle sections. Actually, it was probably more like 40 minutes (out of 120) of demonization of whites on the homefront, clumsily interspersed with white heroics on the battlefield. It certainly looked and felt like a Soviet style political re-editing of the film.<BR/><BR/>The pre-Civil Rights Era anti-white sections are truly poisonous. Although the effect was surely unintended, I believe many white viewers will come away painfully aware that the impetus of our media is the demonization of whites at every opportunity. Even in white America's finest hour -- victory in WWII to save the world from tyranny: the apex of the Greatest Generation -- the spliced-in sections were a relentless heaping of scorn on white American society on the homefront. <BR/><BR/>I think this is just a taste of the "mixing" of art & politics & history to come. Frightening stuff. <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.pbs.org/thewar/edu_overview.htm" REL="nofollow">Bring THE WAR into your classroom</A><BR/><BR/>Guess what the first "Lesson Plan" offered on the PBS website is? <BR/> <BR/>It's the History Channel as run by the campus Whiteness Studies department.<BR/><BR/>http://www.pbs.org/thewar/<BR/><BR/>Sorry, this post is long and off-topic...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-34125145774781936062007-09-26T21:38:00.000-07:002007-09-26T21:38:00.000-07:00And yet, watching Ireland hurrying toward a postmo...<I>And yet, watching Ireland hurrying toward a postmodern Euro-blandness in which it becomes so diverse that it's just like everywhere else in Europe, I fear we'll miss the Irish Ireland when we eventually realize its gone.</I><BR/><BR/>Me, too.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://hiberniagirl.blogspot.com/2007/09/steve-sailer-reviews-once.html" REL="nofollow">"Steve Sailer reviews 'Once'"</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-86214349241038713872007-09-26T19:51:00.000-07:002007-09-26T19:51:00.000-07:00Steve -- isn't it just as likely that for guys, Mu...Steve -- isn't it just as likely that for guys, Musical = gay?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-66705442566426850212007-09-26T18:16:00.000-07:002007-09-26T18:16:00.000-07:00What Ireland really needs is a Jewish/Asian elite ...What Ireland really needs is a Jewish/Asian elite along with a large mestizo underclass.

I think it's more appropriate to say that the Celts have an instinctive understanding of who does and doesn't belong in their sexual social clique and don't make much effort to get outside those boundaries of propriety. Despite the relatively low status among the "whites", an Irishman exhibits much sophistication in this matter and would never mistakenly believe that a woman who is willing to enter into verbal discourse with him also wants to see him naked. <BR/><BR/>This is in great contrast to the Brits who though cousins are nothing like their charming neighbors when it comes to sexual matters. The British sexual proclivities are much like their famous marrow peas - lumpy, tasteless, strange-looking and unfortunately green.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-36140758877002251292007-09-26T12:40:00.000-07:002007-09-26T12:40:00.000-07:00Why don't you review "Hairspray"?Why don't you review "Hairspray"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-66285933490392168802007-09-26T08:42:00.000-07:002007-09-26T08:42:00.000-07:00...we're perfectly happy with many other implausib...<I>...we're perfectly happy with many other implausible artistic conventions. We seldom scoff that a novel's omniscient third person narrator presumes a point of view that only God enjoys; that stage plays are ridiculous because normal people don't converse in complete sentences while all facing toward an invisible fourth wall; or that, unlike in sitcoms, families don't actually sit around in vast living rooms cracking wise.</I><BR/><BR/>That's very shrewd and well-put.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-66217560239699732832007-09-26T08:34:00.001-07:002007-09-26T08:34:00.001-07:00I'm not too convinced by the 'electric guitar' exp...I'm not too convinced by the 'electric guitar' explanation.
