Mr. Tyrrell is both precise and accurate in his criticism of the radical left that controls Hollywood. I often wonder what good might be accomplished if the working class champions like Martin Sheen, Barbra Streisand, Steven Spielberg and their odious ilk would just put their money where there mouths are and set up a charitable foundation and donate to it just half of their income and worth. They might just reduce poverty's ravages in California. But I digress.

The west will not be roused until some stunning tragedy occurs in both Europe and America. Europeans are completely uninterested in any injury to America. America is not much interested in Europe either. As we saw in the 1930s, had Europe acted when Hitler invaded the Rhineland, World War II might not have happened. But instead, Europe dithered and staggered into war over Poland. By the time Europe was fully engaged its sons were enlisting in the Greater Germany SS formations to fight the Russians and partake of the "New Order" and England was freedom's only bastion.

America will not waken until the radical left, now controlling America's media, sees a threat to its supremacy. This is not unlike the model organization of today's Democrat Party -- the Communist Party of the 1930s. Few of our happy radical leftist dumkopfs of today have any knowledge of history and so for them I point out that the Nazis and Communists in Russia were allied and actually divided Poland between them. Because of that alliance the communist party here agitated in favor of the Nazis and hurled invective and venom (in a manner now practiced with great skill and verve, by Mrs. Clinton among others) at those who voiced the dangers of fascism.

p>Today little has changed except the Democrat Party. It has taken the place of the Communists of the 1930s. Its leaders ignore or downplay the threat posed by a Stone Age barbarism alive and well in the Middle East and having that hatred's creed preached in mosques all over America and Europe to day: DEATH TO THE INFIDEL. Hatred, murder and genocide have found a new home. And once again, nobody cares. br> -- Jay W. Molyneaux br> Wellington, Florida /p>

Just because some of us don't spend every waking hour thinking about death, destruction, guns and what an Army Sergeant makes in a year, doesn't mean we don't appreciate the scope of the sacrifice of armed service men and women in the U.S. America isn't just the country it is today because of war and guns (Just look at North Korea, Vietnam and Iraq). The U.S. has a culture that is loved by millions around the world. Part of the culture that the rest of the world loves mostly doesn't involve the gun-toting, violence-driven, god-bothering, red-necks that seem to be the vast readership of this magazine.

p>The main problem with Hollywood -- not that this is something most right-wingers care about -- is the obscene amounts of money they are given, for what really amounts to tripe. It was reported that Reese Witherspoon will receive $34 million for her next role. This is a kick in the guts to any ordinary American, and why would we spend our "very" hard-earned, contributing to another Tuscan villa, or sauna, for ordinary movies in return. br> --
