It still makes no sense to me how people can call filmmakers traitors. A traitor is someone who is hurting you or helping your enemies, but a film can't do that, and we have free speech anyways.
Say something they strongly disagree with and a lot of conservatives will throw that ideal right out the window.
You mean the like films made by the NAZIs portraying Jews as rats raping young German women? Way to go sparkey.
It's not hard to be a traitor. All you have to do is tear down our military and country and use the excuse that it's all about hating an administration but supporting the military. I've heard this crap until I'm sick to my stomach. No American shirks their duty to support their country when She needs us the most.
I don't agree with everything this President does, I didn't support everything President Clinton did, I didn't care for all of President Bush Sr.'s policies, I don't think President Carter was the best of our best, President Reagan had one of the toughest jobs on Earth when he took over a stripped military and turned it into the formidable force that it is today, President Ford was just not really Presidential material, President Nixon was brilliant and probably one of our best Presidents but not my ideal, President Johnson wavered and let our boys down in Vietnam but he was always the consumate politician, My CIC, President Kennedy had personal problems but never brought let anything sway his love of his country.
Now, that's a long list but there's one thing in common with all of them. They were all Presidents of the United States of America, an office that represents what we as a country are, good and bad. I made it a personal goal to never, never tear down the administration of any of these extraordianary men even if I had to bite my tongue. They're woven into the fabric of our past as surely as each star was woven onto our flag.
I guess I'm just dumb, electing all these people who can't wave a magic wand and solve all the world's problems. I'll die honoring these men who didn't turn their backs when their country called them to one of the most unforgiving jobs that ever existed. And I'll always remember that all our enemies have ever wanted was to cause enough doubt in us about our leaders that we turn against them and, in doing so, tear down the very foundation that our freedom is built on.
That's all I've got to say on this subject.
