Brian Fitzpatrick over at Human Events calls The Dark Knight “pornography of violence.”Batman has also been compared to George W. Bush and Rudy Giuliani. You can decide on the latter, but the former claim is balderdash.  Batman tries to save the innocent in the film and is faced into grave moral choices. As for the violence claim, evil does not come in sunshine and lollipops. If we used Kirkpatrick’s arguments about violence in film, Patton and Saving Private Ryan would be unacceptable for displaying graphic images, regardless of their messages. I mean, if good must make tough choices when combating evil, we had better not show it. This movie is conservative because it rejects moral relativism of the Left and shows a character willing to take the burden of leadership on behalf of truth.

I thought the President going to China was the wrong thing. I made a mistake. He socked it to the regime.

We speak out for a free press, freedom of assembly, and labor rights not to antagonize China’s leaders, but because trusting its people with greater freedom is the only way for China to develop its full potential,’ Bush said in perhaps his last major Asia address.

The regime whined of course-how dare you suggest we actually care for human rights!

In other news, the Communist regime revokes an Olympic gold medalist’s visa. Ironically, the article is hosted by Google. Interesting.

…and oil drops by $9.

Interesting.

This writer in the Atlanta Journal Constitution has it right. I don’t type that sentence very often.
