It's a bird! It's a plane! It's disinterest in patriotism!
With Independence Day weekend upon us, CJ reader and occasional contributor Elaine Williams is admittedly in rant-mode, and she isn't pleased with Superman's new slant:
"Look up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman!" Those words thrilled us kids growing up in the 1950's. And when Superman defended "Truth, Justice and the American Way," we knew we were safe and secure. Sure, Superman is just a story but what this hero represented meant a great deal to a great many people. To learn that today's PC remake of "Superman," the movie, will not include the idea of the "American Way" doesn't really come as a surprise, but rather just another silly effort at placating our so-called friends in other countries. While our military was defending the American Way in WWII, they were also defending these same countries whom we are now so afraid of offending with anything remotely suggesting pro-American language. Well, this person, for one, will spend her American dollars in American theaters, buy American popcorn and watch a film whose producers aren't afraid not to be PC. Happy Birthday, America! And God Bless you!
Truer words never spoken, aye?
