Home Front: Culture Wars
Revenge of the Dark Knight
2007-04-30
Nice piece in the LA Times on Frank Miller, author of the 300, Sin City and The Dark Night Returns. Not a conservative, not a liberal, but he understands the fight we're in today. Money quote:
"What people are not dealing with is the fact that we're going up against a culture that finds it acceptable to do things that the rest of the world left behind with the barbarians in the 6th century," Miller said. "I'm a little tired of people worrying about being polite. We are fighting in the face of fascists."

#6  Batman's Ra's al-Ghul was the perfect cross between an eco-nut socialist and a Salafist fanatic. He mostly wanted to wipe out most of humanity to restore nature to pristine desert.

He was an Earth First! Wahabbi with a cape and goatee.

#4  This War is the seminal issue of our time and we should elect a US President based on how he/she outlines how the war will be waged. The rest is simply white noise.

#3  Fighting barbarians isn't the only thing you can apply a solid philosophy like that to. Trade issues, the UN, domestic crime, ect, ect, ect.

#2  "His [Miller's] political view is: Don't mess with me."

A good view to have when dealing with the barbarians.

#1  I recently noticed that Miller acknowledges the writings of Victor Davis Hanson in the reference list for 300 (the book).
