No War Horse

No, I won't view the new film, "War Horse." If lies from liberals who claim the tea party "occupies the fringe of American politics" (new Republic editor) and Obama is imposing "passive austerity", according to Paul Krugman, do not inflict enough pain to deter me, the truths about the "unspeakable bestiality of war and the nobility of wordless beasts" (movie critic Joe Morgenstern)certainly clinch my decision.

Time surely tells us that nobility of service evidenced by God's silent beasts (horses ridden, worked or starved to death) acts as a sad counterpoint to man's inhumanity to man and his inhumaneness to animals.

Happy New Year, 2012.
