Pulled from Lindy's thread and reprinted here (with permission of course) for those who don't make it over there. Top Ten Reasons 24 Is A Conservative Show LIBERTAS My all 24 Saturday edition continues. Of, course 24 is a conservative show. Here's ten reason why: 10. It makes liberals uncomfortable. You don't hear Laura Ingraham getting all squirmy in her chair over it. The show makes Charlie Rose and Stephen King squirmy. Now they know how we feel except for Turner Classic Movies and this single hour a week out of thousands. 9. The words "patriot," "country," and "traitor," are frequently used in the same sentence without a hint of a Jon Stewart-style-smirk. Haven't seen that since we lost The Duke. (Sorry for that pause. Gotta give The Duke his moment.) 8. Terrorism is always portrayed a bad thing, and terrorists bad people. No liberal moral relativism here. No left wing Jimmy Carter/Michael Moore/Spielberg-esque snide anti-semitic blaming of Israel allowed. You commit terror, you're going down. Jack brings you to justice with a pliers and an extension cord. If Jack Bauer had been in "V For Vendetta" Natalie Portman would've been slapped around aplenty until she gave up V's twenty and then V would've been ridiculed Abu Ghraib-like for his sense of style and a bullet put through his brain. If Jack Bauer had been in "Matrix III: The Suck" there would've been no negotaitions with the machines, he would've simply pulled an EMP from that handy dandy bag (which no one dares make fun of, at least when Jack's around) and put those machines to bed. If Jack Bauer had been in "Syriana" he would've… Well, like the audience, he would've been asking "What the hell's going on?" a lot. If Jack Bauer had been in "Munich," let's just say that during the bonding-with-terrorists-over-a-song scene there'd have been blood. Buckets of it: "I just kill innocent women and children because I wish to return to my father's olive groves." How 'bout in a body bag? 7. Long-haired, petulent, cry-baby, unemployed liberals who blame America for terrorism are ridiculed for buying into Michael Moore's "crap," and then deliciously tortured at the personal request of the Secretary of Defense — even though it's his son. And who plays the SecDef? A guy most famous for playing Kennedy! (You know, the president who got us into Vietnam.) 6. No one recycles. Six seasons and not a single shot of separate garbage cans. 5. People who are not white commit acts of terrorism. Who knew? 4. Have you ever heard Jack bark, "You have the right to an attorney, dammit! If you can't afford one, one will be provided for you, dammit! Now tell me you understand these rights!" 3. Have you ever heard Jack bark, "I'm in a flank 2 position and need that search warrant sent to my PDA, NOW!!!!!" 2. A black president had his chief of staff tied to a chair, his feet soaked in water, and electrocuted. It's simply the single most illiberal thing ever put on television. I haven't seen anything that politically incorrect since that Bob Hope special where he did a group sing of "God Bless America" and wished everyone a "Merry Christmas." 1. Chloe. Good grief, if anyone would be the hippie cynical spoiler in the show it would be Chloe. If anyone would be the voice of liberalism in the show it would be her. But the girl's true red, white, and blue. And hot. Please don't kill Chloe, Joel. Fine, you got me whining now, but please don't kill her… Pleeeeese….. libertyfilmfestival.com
