It&#8217;s clear that he wasn&#8217;t going to let the right sound reasonable on this issue but ridicule their point of view for the entire interview. (A good host would have let the guest hang himself with his own rope.) And also notice that he leaves out a very important part to the <a href=\"http:\/\/corner.nationalreview.com\/post\/?q=M2E2NjdhYjJiYTI4ZTBlM2IzZDFlMjZkNjg3N2Y3N2Q=\">Jonah Goldberg quote<\/a>. What a hack!(<a href=\"http:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/2008\/07\/03\/video-is-wall-e-green-propaganda\/\">via<\/a>)Well, yeah of course it&#8217;s left-wing propaganda. Who can dispute that? Even my daughters got that. There&#8217;s an evil corporation that has enticed the occupants of the planet to over consume to the point that they make the earth unlivable so they take to outer space.But that shouldn&#8217;t stop you from taking your kids to see it because it&#8217;s actually a wonderful movie filled with hope and love. Very well done and visually attractive. The animation is excellent as always (no surprise since it&#8217;s from Pixar). Eventually the humans realize that they have a connection to the planet and should return to help salvage the earth. And Wall-E is such a wonderful example of the importance of community and of love in the life of&#8230;.well&#8230;er&#8230;not necessarily a robot but a robot as metaphor for humans \ud83d\ude42 Plus there is even a conservative message that made it into the movie: the importance of not allowing the government to take over running your life. You should be in control and not allow the government to make decisions for you. And another bonus was the message of the summer for my family: the importance of diet and exercise :-)And btw, even some of us conservatives are against over consuming and know the importance of recycling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s the question of this MSNBC report:BTW, the host of this show is terrible!
