Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

This is No Paradise

From IMDB.com:

'Paradise Now' Sparks Oscar Uproar

Academy Award-nominated movie Paradise Now is under attack from Israeli families who lost children in Palestinian suicide attacks, and they are urging Oscar officials to disqualify the film. The bereaved relatives claim to have a 32,000 signature-strong petition against the movie's nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. The movie charts two West Bank friends hired to be suicide bombers in Tel Aviv. Yossi Zur, whose teenage son Asaf was killed in a bus bombing, says, "What they call 'Paradise Now' we call 'Hell Now', each and every day.

It is a mission of the free world not to give such movies a prize." The controversial film, which won a Golden Globe award for Best Foreign Language Film in January, explores the perspectives of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation, and whether their frustration justifies resorting to violence. Steven Spielberg's multi Oscar-nominated movie Munich, about 11 Israeli athletes massacred at the 1972 Olympic Games, has also met with controversy. Film industry experts claim an Oscar nomination has never been withdrawn since the awards began in 1928.
Why doesn't Hollywood just give Osama bin Laden some kind of award and get it over with? We all know the Hollywood denizens simply adore him, his cronies, and their mission: to do away with the Great Satan, the United States of America.

After all, most Hollywood people and al Qaeda people have the same attitude about the US. Namely, the US is the most evil, wicked, horrible, terrible, wrong nation ever on earth and deserves to be wiped off the map . . . and replaced with a Liberal, Muslim commune.

Except, Liberalism and Islam don't mix. That's right. Muslims hate gays, hate pornography, and hate all sorts of things that Liberals so favor. Not to mention that Osama and friends don't care if an American is a Conservative or a Liberal; they just want to blow us all away, with the most destruction, bloog and gore as possible.
