...I liked the movie,' American Sniper',but this 'you don't love America;you don't care for the troops',blackmail to make it Best Picture infuriates me.Hey,I was just as mad as the next guy when 'Saving Private Ryan' lost to 'Shakespeare In Love',but only because I believed Ryan to be the much grander movie.Forcing me to vote for something is like saying it isn't worthy of my independent analysis..which is a shame because I liked the movie.   Country music is the same way.Say you are ashamed of the president and get blackballed.Say you want to put a machine gun to the head of our president,and even-though you are a washed up hack of a former rock star...suddenly you are a redneck super hero.It's a Republican thing...you are either with us..or we take your money away and vote you out in the primary...no choice is your choice....going in circles eating your own excrement is the perfect symbol of taking away freedoms/blackmailing us to think the way they want us to think until we willingly think without thinking...you won't step out of line going in your meaningless little circles...
