What's wrong

with this picture?

The supporting character gets top visual billing over the two actual co-stars. Wonder why...?

[I should say that I am sick to death of seeing and hearing Morgan Freeman. The man is worth $90 million and should stop working. After all, his bro, The Great and Powerful O, did say that "at a certain point, you've made enough money." Obviously he was not thinking of Morgan, or Beyonce or any of his other 1% pals.]

And one wonders, hmmmm, why is that?

About the Scot. It's part of a larger problem, finding convincingly manly American actors for parts like this.

3.10 to Yuma. Great American cowboy story. Starring...two Australians. Upcoming Superman...a Brit (although after the comic's owners had the Man of Steel renounce his American citizenship, why should I care?). Spartacus...a Brit, then Australian. Thor...Aussie. King Leonidas in 300...Scot Gerard Butler. It goes on.; 10:01 AM, April 22, 2013

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
