MOVIE REVIEW: TO THE FOURTH POWER (2013)
TO THE FOURTH POWER (2013) – This film may be the sleeper hit of the year. You’d think it would be impossible to do something creative with the mock documentary format at this point but To The Fourth Power proves to be a thought-provoking and inventive piece set “just a few years from now”.
The movie depicts a near future in which the Continue reading
ANTHONY WEINER: MOCK CAMPAIGN SLOGANS
Carlos Danger
Only in this land of political fanatics could a Democratic Party candidate in the New York Mayoral race be a disgraced Congressman forced to resign for sexting women, including at least one who turned out to be under-age according to reports. That’s the degree of deranged partisan mindlessness in the 21st Century. If Weiner wins the Democratic nomination political zombies will convince themselves to vote for a man whose candidacy would be a joke if stripped of a major party’s label. And they’ll do it because of their paranoid frenzy over the supposedly eeeevillll things a candidate from the opposition party MIGHT do.
In the spirit of my Mock Campaign Slogans for Obama and Romney from last year here is a list of mock campaign slogans for the forever-creepy Anthony Weiner.
ANTHONY WEINER: Under his administration his left hand WILL know what his right hand is doing!
ANTHONY WEINER: Continue reading

LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES ARE ALL JERKS
Welcome back to Balladeer’s Blog, the only site on the web that truly criticizes all of those shrill fanatics called Liberals and Conservatives.

LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES ARE THE EXACT SAME KIND OF PEOPLE
The ruling class enjoying a moment together far from the chaos they’ve mired the rest of us in.
This week we got another reminder that the Democratic and Republican party office-holders consider themselves “the ruling class” and the rest of us mere peasants. In Congress there was at last some bi-partisan cooperation – BOTH parties now admit what a disaster Obamacare is and introduced legislation TO EXEMPT THEMSELVES AND THEIR STAFF MEMBERS FROM IT!
If Obamacare is so wonderful why do they want exempted from it themselves and why do they feel it will attract quality employees to their staffs to have the PERK of being exempt from it? Sounds like those demagogues hate Obamacare as much as the rest of us do and as much as EVERY doctor that I and everyone I know has spoken to hate it.
Let’s look at other reasons why Liberals and Conservatives are the same kind of people:
Liberals think they are the country’s official “intellectuals” and that they possess “the one true world view”. They feel that this qualifies them to use the apparatus of government to rule every aspect of our lives. Dissenters from this view are so routinely labeled “racists” and/or “uneducated” that such labels have become virtually meaningless.
Conservatives think they are the Continue reading

MOVIES NOT COMING SOON TO A THEATRE NEAR YOU
Hollywoodland
Welcome back to Balladeer’s Blog, the only site on the web that is truly non-partisan in its criticism of those irrational zealots called Liberals and Conservatives. As I have often pointed out in the past there are no such things as right and wrong, there are simply things that a culture finds acceptable and things that a culture frowns upon. Six decades ago Hollywood films conformed to the tired Conservative cliches of Eisenhower’s America and earlier years. Today Hollywood films conform to the tired Liberal cliches of the Political Correctness Police.
In the 1950’s a movie depicting a gay (or black or female) character in the same positive way that the straight (or white or male) characters were depicted would be frowned upon. Today a Hollywood movie depicting a white, straight or (gasp) Christian character in the same positive way that the black, gay or Muslim characters are depicted would be frowned upon.
As always fringe filmmaking is where the courageous storytelling is to be found. The gutless, pandering Hollywood studios all make cookie- cutter movies lacking any sort of diversity in their worldview. Long ago it was uniformly mindless Conservative films being churned out by the dozens. In recent decades it’s been uniformly mindless Liberal films being churned out by the dozens. So let’s proceed with this light- hearted look at movies no Hollywood studio would touch today.
Not Coming Soon – THE CRIMSON IMAM – A heroic Muslim woman dons a red costume and mask, then takes to the streets of her Muslim community punishing men who physically abuse women in the name of the outdated dictates of their religion. Calling herself the Crimson Imam she becomes a nationwide role model and inspires a large-scale feminist movement within Islam. Eventually women and gay people are embraced by Islam, with female clergy and gay marriages commonplace and with abortion rights a new Muslim priority.
What You’d See Instead – THE CRIMSON NUN – A heroic Christian woman dons a red habit and mask, then takes to the streets of her Christian community punishing priests who molest children and Continue reading

THE FOUR MOST INCOMPETENT U.S. PRESIDENTS IN HISTORY
Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at the four most thoroughly incompetent presidents in American history. The list features two Republicans and two Democrats but naturally Liberal fanatics will accuse me of being a Conservative and Conservative fanatics will accuse me of being a Liberal. It’s all part of living in this land of partisan zealots.
Benjamin Harrison
4. BENJAMIN HARRISON
Party Affiliation: Republican
Background: Benjamin was the grandson of President William Henry Harrison, who was famous for dying barely a month into his term.
Presidency: Harrison lost the popular vote to incumbent Democratic President Grover Cleveland but won the Electoral College so Cleveland was out and Benjy was in. Harrison’s campaign virtually sold every possible presidential appointment in its desperate bid for the presidency, so Benjamin had almost no leeway on who he could nominate for positions from Cabinet level on down. The confirmation hearings provided ample fodder for political humor as some of the most unqualified nominees in U.S. history paraded before the Senate.
Harrison proved to be in over his head on the Continue reading
WHY AMERICAN LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES ARE EQUALLY ANNOYING
“First George W Bush and now ME! You people will reelect ANYBODY!”
Welcome back to Balladeer’s Blog, the only site on the web that is truly nonpartisan in its criticism of the walking caricatures called Liberals and Conservatives.
Like other adults here in the U.S. my own views are a mix of “liberal” and “conservative” attitudes. That’s why the rest of us find Liberals and Conservatives (with capitalized L’s and C’s) to be so outdated and laughably partisan. Enough preamble, here’s a list of some of the reasons we despise American Liberals and American Conservatives equally:
1. Liberals think they’re fit to lecture the rest of us about “diversity”. / Conservatives think they’re fit to lecture the rest of us about “family values”.
2. Liberals are pretentious fools who actually think they’re the country’s official “intellectuals”. / Conservatives are nationalist fools who actually think they’re the country’s official “patriots”.
3. Liberals mindlessly take sides against their own country no matter what the circumstances. / Conservatives mindlessly side with their own country no matter what the circumstances.
4. Liberals actually believe Continue reading
