NONSENSE

Gas Prices.          
Afghanistan.

Syria.

Wacky Winter Weather.

Israel vs. Iran.

Unemployment.

Falling House Prices. 

Super PACs.

Presidential Politics.

So much to consider. Understand.  Debate. 

Alarm.

And now it seems we must fear that Hollywood is brainwashing our kids; indoctrinating them with ‘insidious nonsense.’

So says Lou Dobbs, anchor of Lou Dobbs Tonight.

No, he is not challenging Glee, which appears on his network.

Dobbs is outraged by The Secret World of Arrietty, a film based on Mary Norton’s classic children’s book, The Borrowers, and The Lorax, a film based on the picture book classic by Dr. Seuss.

They may appear to be harmless, family-friendly movies. But actually, they are tools being used by the liberal media to “plainly demonize the so-called 1% and espouse green-energy policies, come what may.”

Gulp.

American kids are being brainwashed by Hollywood!

The Secret World of Arrietty, a film about tiny people living beneath the floorboards of an old house, “borrowing” (i.e. taking) what they need from normal-sized humans, encourages class envy and redistribution of wealth, according to Dobbs.

And that wacky, preachy Lorax is just another example of environmental radicalism.

To Dobbs, these films are a conspiracy: "The President's liberal friends in Hollywood targeting a younger demographic using animated movies to sell their agenda to children."

It doesn’t matter that The Secret World of Arrietty was made by Japanese filmmakers.

Or that Dr. Seuss has been encouraging kids to love and care for trees since The Lorax was published in 1971.
 
Dobbs disdains the Lorax, "a woodland creature that speaks for the trees and fights rampant industrialism." He even compares the movie to the Occupy Wall Street movement, which "forever tried to pit the makers against the takers," and President Obama's calls that "everyone should pay their fair share."

One of Dobbs’ guests, radio host Matt Patrick, agreed with this analysis. "What we're doing is creating Occu-toddlers," Patrick said, joking that the anti-consumerism, pro-environmental messages should be countered by moviegoers who "buy huge tubs of popcorn, ram it in your face," then leave the trash on theater floors and walk out of the movies.

Gas Prices.          
Afghanistan.

Syria.

Wacky Winter Weather.

Israel vs Iran.

Unemployment.

Falling House Prices. 

Super PACs.

Presidential Politics.

All of this.

And now Popcorn Terrorism.

Wonder if Lou Dobbs has noticed that most of the Kid Pix produced by Hollywood have blatantly brainwashed our children, indoctrinating them with insidious nonsense?

Consider the hidden message in these blockbusters:

Alice in Wonderland: Crazy is good- and gorgeous. Tall or small can be fixed. The Tea Party is Hallucinogenic.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Skip the ‘snarky’, and you’ll have all the chocolate and cash that you want.   

Megamind:  Be Blue. Be Evil. Be Happier than Brad Pitt.

How to Train Your Dragon: Be weak. Be geek. Get the girl and the dragon.

Tangled: Fall in love with a Criminal. Live Happily Ever After.

Winnie the Pooh: Honey is addictive. Watch your tail.

Parents, beware.
 
And don’t just blame the liberal media and the President’s friends in Hollywood.

It all begins with the authors of these books, plays and screenplays; writers who use paragraphs and chapters to sell their agenda - their nonsense - to children.

Sigh.

At least that kind of nonsense breeds delight.
