Themes

• movies with Americans as the good guys vs. bashing America and our troops
• culture of lies, e.g.,
  • that America is evil and that Islamo-fascism somehow has a moral equivalence to Western values
• Islamo-phobia
• “The one place conservatives in the arts fall down is in building a body of reviews, awards and creating our own grants. Writers and filmmakers are part of the arts community and we all crave recognition. That recognition is what will help us reclaim the culture, and that’s where the real battle that matters is.” [1]
