. . BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN'S Everyone seems to think that Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" is about promoting gay marriage or unpromoting heterosexual marriage, but I really don't think that this is true. Ang Lee is part of the Hollywood anti-American "in" crowd that thrives on national and international forms of recognition being bestowed on those whose work destroys every USA mythology that ever existed, especially that of the American Man who has nevertheless remained a much-admired and envied image of heroism to most men and women around the globe. In spite of the real-life fact that US military men are feared by every other force and by every terrorist piece-of-garbage anywhere, Hollywood nevertheless makes film after film in which they are portrayed as cowards, ruthless killers, or incompetent fools. Other films and TV shows have successfully destroyed the images of US law-enforcement agencies, our founding fathers, our thinkers, our brilliant IT inventors, and all the other creators of the greatest nation on earth, which Hollywood likes to portray as the world's most oppressive "phallocracy". Spike Lee (a classmate and personal friend of Ang Lee, by the way) portrayed all black thugs as America's heroes, and all white guys as America's thugs. Oliver Stone portrayed all Indian warriors as America's heroes, and all white guys as America's genocidal murderers. The list of movies defiling American men, is endless. The list of ugly, feminized actors willing to take part in this disgusting offensive, is also endless. The list of authors and academics seeking to pander to this fanatical mission of destruction, is bottomless. SO WHAT WAS LEFT TO DESTROY? That last remaining American hero........the cowboy. And how to best begin to ridicule this gun-toting, horse-riding, boot-wearing image of total masculinity? You make him be gay, that's how. I can just imagine Ang Lee laughing his head off at the thought of doing it. And I guess that just being gay in itself, was not enough of an attack, so he added adultery and betrayal to the mix. And now, the magnificent cowboy of everyone's imagination, has become a cad, a liar, a piece of phallocentric garbage. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. +++++++
