Do you have the ability to watch a movie without thinking about politics?

I'm saying that that's such a recurring theme in STORYTELLING, that to cite this movie as Liberal commentary of the "current political environment" is... convenient.

Really? Do tell... If we're going to go there, you can make the case that libertarians and liberals have very similar beliefs as well. But I see we're playing the liberal mantra of acting like a Sith "if you're not with us, then you're against us."

I am a Libertarian. Maybe you should look up a couple posts again. You certainly aren't fooling anyone.

Why are you so easily amazed? I remember when the Empire and the Jedi were compared to Satin and Jesus. Humans tend to compare such things, like seeing faces in clouds.

Remember Steve... the progs think that anyone who doesn't agree with them, and doesn't go along to get along is against them, and is really just another republican. You mean you didn't hear???

Anyone that gets overworked over a movie has way too much time on their hand.

The only time get upset over a movie is when it sucks , I feel like I wasted 2 hours of my life.

Yes, and I will watch this movie and enjoy it. It is somewhat foolish to not recognize the politics in this one though.
