"Terrible deeds…justified in the name of Christ."

By Ron Maxwell

  Dear Friends,

  Here we are, mere hours after witnessing Radical Islamists burning alive a captured Jordanian pilot; within mere days of witnessing the beheading of two Japanese men and within mere weeks of witnes

sing Radical Islamists screaming Allah Akbar at the brutal murders of newspaper cartoonists at their Paris office and this is what the president of the United States feels compelled to say in “the fierce urgency of now” at the National Prayer Breakfast this morning:

   “terrible deeds … including slavery happened during the Crusades and were “justified in the name of Christ.” – B.H. Obama

  Don’t worry folks! Our ancestors were just as brutal, just as savage, just as maniacally, murderously fanatic. The fact that the Crusades (whatever their historical justification) happened a thousand years ago is irrelevant to this pompous fool. Even the Inquisition and the Thirty Years War, brutal and destructive as they undoubtedly were, happened a half-a-millenium ago.  

  Furthermore, what Christian leader, pastor, priest, minister anywhere in the world is exhorting any believing Christians in the name of Biblical scripture or Christian doctrine to kill, maim, torture, confine, mutilate, imprison or hurt anyone anywhere? There are no fatwahs from Christ.

  The sophistry, the profound intellectual dishonesty of this man, his dangerous obfuscations of reality have no equal in the American presidency. Nor can it be found in the speeches of leaders of any of the Western Democracies.  Nor indeed in the leadership of most autocracies and dictatorships. No one else is this brazen in his deception and fraud.

  It is incumbent on all people of good will, regards of party affiliation or profession of faith, to condemn Barack Obama’s insulting, stupid, dangerously disarming remarks at this morning’s National Prayer Breakfast.

New Civil War Movie from the Director of Gods and Generals and Gettysburg- "Copperhead"

In the 1860s Americans fought a brutal Civil War. More than 700,000 were killed outright or died of disease caused by the deprivations of war. Wounded exceeded a million and a half. The victims of what we now call PTS will never be known. It was devastating. Not everyone in that generation thought war was the solution to the country's problems. My movie "Copperhead" is about such a man, a Northerner who loved the union, hated slavery, but was against the war. For expressing his opinion he was branded a traitor, a southern sympathizer and a "copperhead."  We could not have known, when we were filming in the summer of 2012, or even when we released the movie this past June, that America would find itself once more on the brink of war, once more about to send our sons (and now our daughters, too) into harm's way. If you haven't already seen "Copperhead," I urge you to do so now. It's available on pay-per-view at most cable TV platforms as well as on Amazon Instant Video. We tried to make an honest, powerful anti-war film. Not anti-North or anti-South -- simply anti-war. Sadly, I can't think of a better time to watch it. If it helps in even the most modest way to keep us out of the folly of another tragic war, it will have been worth the effort of the last three years. ~Ron Maxwell- "Copperhead" Director http://www.copperheadthemovie.com/see-the-film/on-demand-now

One thing I disliked about both Ron Maxwell films, Gettysburg and its prequel Gods and Generals, was that the soldiers were too fucking fat or old or both. I respect the fact that many of the enlisted soldiers portrayed were re-enactors who provided their own weapons and period-clothing, but this is about war; real-life Union and Confederate troops ate very little and marched nearly every day. They wouldn't have been overweight or old.
