Red Dawn Rising

by AJR Morris November 23, 2010

Red dawn came out in 1984. Besides the first ten minutes, the film was nothing more than a chicken hawk wet dream for the cold war. It is somewhat appropriate that the film was released in 1984 since it represents a major element of neoconservative thinking. At the point that it was released the Soviet [...]

And We’re Still Alive

by Kris Romaniuk November 9, 2010

2 Years With No Chance of Parole

by Kris Romaniuk November 3, 2010
