Comments on: Santa’s In The Air And The Sap Is Running http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/12/09/santas-in-the-air-and-the-sap-is-running/ Summum nec metuas diem, nec optes - Marcus Valerius Martialis Tue, 02 Aug 2011 22:27:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Mwalimu Daudi http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/12/09/santas-in-the-air-and-the-sap-is-running/comment-page-1/#comment-72292 Mwalimu Daudi Sun, 09 Dec 2007 17:06:25 +0000 http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/12/09/santas-in-the-air-and-the-sap-is-running/#comment-72292 I think that the <i>Washington Post</i> got it flatly wrong. Given the current flood of PC-saturated movies and TV shows that Hollywood is trying to shove down our throats, it is not surprising that older, non-PC stuff is being watched over and over again. Or is there anyone who would seriously argue that <i>Rendition</i>, <i>Fahrenheit 911</i>, <i>Lions for Lambs</i>, <i>The Golden Compass</i> and the rest will be seen by anyone other than historians studying the bizarre leftist paranoia that cast such a shadow over the first decade of the 21st century? In the former Soviet Union people would ask foreigners for any outside newspapers and magazines. These would be read and re-read for years. Our MSM is heavily invested in secular-oriented groupthink (just as the Soviet Union was), and most people are yearning for any relief from this drab and dreary worldview.

Well, okay, I would, but I wouldn't enjoy it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Awww, Gaius ...

It is worth watching if for no other reason than to see Linus quoting scripture when explaining to Charlie Brown the true meaning of Christmas. That scene is the highlight of the show and is well done, in my opinion. Amazing that someone would say that they would have to be held at gunpoint to watch that. It's a scene that would likely get censored out of a modern Christmas special. I will step up and defend A Charlie Brown Christmas.
