One more reason to dislike Hollywood

I like to be entertained just like any regular joe. Hollywood is good for that. They are good for making movies that are over the top with emotion and action or adventures. The have some really good ones for entertainment value. My problem with Hollywood or any film producer is when they produce something that they base off of real life but yet can't or won't use the real fact but still try and pass it off because they want to get the "real story" out.

Let's get one thing straight - if you can't or won't you the real facts you can't get out the "real story"!!

I read about a film called "Redacted" that is being release at a Venice film festival. It is based on the rape and killing of an Iraqi girl and her family.

Reuters wrote the article and to tell you the truth they guy who made the movie, makes me sick to my stomach. The crime that the movie is based up on happened in 2003. He is coming out with a movie about it now and he said he got most of his information from the internet.

He wanted to produce this movie because:

"The movie is an attempt to bring the reality of what is happening in Iraq to
the American people."

He goes so far as to say:

"It's all out there on the Internet, you can find it if you look for it, but
it's not in the major media. The media is now really part of the corporate
establishment."

So this guy wants to take the true, twist it (because he can't tell the truth), and then try and pass it off as the truth. Doesn't the media already do that. Apparently, it is not twisted enough for him. There is nothing like taking an isolated incident that happened in this war and trying to say the whole war is like that. Sure - cause there really aren't soldiers or Marines out there dying and saving men, women and children in the process. They are all heartless thugs.

All his info he got from the internet - huh, he found enough material for one movie - I think I could find stories of the good things that have happened and make a helluva lot more than just one movie.

Not the pink jumpsuit, anything but the pink jumpsuit...

In a South Carolina prison, if you commit a sexual act infront of an officer the prison dresses you in a pink jumpsuit. I saw this artical on Fox. This particular prison is an all male prison and get this - they are being sued by an inmate that has never worn the pink jumpsuit but thinks it wrong. The pink makes you a target.

You are in jail - anonymity of any kind is pretty much out the window when you live communally. Accenting a gentleman's feminine side, sounds like a good deterrent on weeding out those that are "gay for the stay". If you are afraid you are going to get your a** kicked because you got busted doing something you are not suppose to be doing - hello, genius - maybe you shouldn't do it! Isn't that what gets them where they are at in the first place - and that little message just doesn't seem to sink in.

Don't break the law and you won't go to jail - don't have sex with another inmate in jail and you won't wear the pink jumpsuit. It's not rocket science.

My solution - make everyone where the pink jumpsuits and the ones that get caught having sex have to wear a pink w/yellow polka-dots.

When will they learn - it can ALWAYS be worse.

Letters from Home project

Jim from Thinking Right has started a project in which he is trying to gather 1,000 letters to send to the Marines and Sailors for 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment. 1,000 letters means that each and every Marine and Sailor would receive their own letter.

I have already sent mine. Go over to Thinking Right and send him a letter.

Illegal Immigrant story

I have so many problems with this story on so many levels!!


Read about it here Fox news and here Breitbart.


To give you a summary: Elvire Arellano came to the United States illegally in 1997. Was deported and came back, illegally, in 2000. She began working at the Chicago's O'Hara airport and was arrested in 2002 for using a false social security number. She was suppose to turn her self in to the authorities last Aug in 2006 and instead began living at a church instead. At some point in time she gave birth to a child who is now 8 years old and is a US citizen. She left the church in order to speak out (and now she is called an activist) against the raids that break up families by sending the parents back to their original country while the children stay here. So now Arellano has been arrested and deported back to Mexico and her child has stayed.


I have major problems with the system and major problems as a parent when it comes this situations.


First off, she was deported and came back. Obviously, deportation does not deter. Nor do those that get deported care that they have broken the laws of the United States. Why - Alrellano says it herself "I only have two choices. I either go to my country, Mexico, or stay and keep fighting. I decided to stay and fight." Fight? Fight for what? To stay in a country you came to illegally? Let me guess, fight to stay with your son? You came to the US and had been deported - you came back and had a child knowing you could get deported but what? figured we are so nice we would never make you go back once you had a child?


Moving on - so it has been established she doesn't care about US law because her actions have spoken for her. And nor does it matter whether she gets deported or arrested she will continue to ignore the law and then have a child knowing she can be deported. Does anybody else's head hurt from the logic (or lack there of)?

I am no mathematical genius but if her son is 8 years old like the stories say - for argument sake lets say he just turned 8 this month - that means he was born in Aug. of 1999. She was deported "shortly" after being caught in 1997. She moved to Illinois in 2000 but she was in the country prior to that because her son is a US citizen. If he was born Aug. of 99' and I am giving some time here, it is quite possible she wasn't out of the country more than a year, year and a half tops.

Here is the other side of the beef - She was deported the first time. The second time she got busted she was arrested for using a false social security number and she was in the country illegal but was allowed to turn herself in at a later date rather than deported right away. Anyone else see the flaw in that? She choose NOT to turn herself in and instead "fight" against the law.

You are here ILLEGALLY, you are here not in accordance with our law - and you haven't been in accordance with our law for about 8 or 9 years now!!! Longevity does not keep you here - proper paperwork does!! It really does suck that families get torn apart but the thing is - they choose to be here illegally. This is what goes along with it. They want to give their kids a better life, fine, just accept that when they get caught they won't be able to watch. Any illegal immigrant would have a serious problem if someone did something illegal against them and I am sure would want them punished but yet for some reason they should be untouched by simple laws like whether you are here legally or not. Tell that to the people that had their families lives ripped apart by someone who was here illegally. They will tell you that law is not as small as others would like everyone to believe.

Fit for country broadcasting....

If you have not heard what this Marine is saying you really need to. He has gotten a lot of attention on-line by way of Fox News. Just watch the video and you will see why - I have to worn you- side effects of watching maybe but not limited too: tears welling in eyes, goosebumps, lump in throat and the most patriotic feeling! If you don't have any side effect - check your pulse and consider moving out of the country because you don't get it anyway.

Go now and watch:

You can go here for the words.

Fox put up the video and the next day put out that they are searching for this Marine but they were beat out by Blackfive who found out who he was and got an interview with him.
