Fox Business Network's Lou Dobbs Blasts 'The Lorax': Hollywood Is 'Trying To Indoctrinate Our Children' (VIDEO)

Dobbs said “The Lorax” was about “a woodland creature that speaks for the trees and fights rampant industrialism.” He replayed a clip of the Lorax demanding to know who chopped down a Truffula Tree.

He compared the movie to the Occupy Wall Street movement, which he said “forever tried to pit the makers against the takers,” and President Obama’s calls that “everyone should pay their fair share.”

See, this is just a simple misunderstanding. Lou Dobbs thinks this is about a liberal agenda. The Lorax was just trying to make the Onceler understand that if he chops down all the Truffula trees, he wouldn’t be able to make anymore thneeds.

If the dumbass would have listened to the Lorax, he might have been able to create a sustainable business model that wouldn’t have forced the brown Barbaloots to move elsewhere. But no, the Onceler got greedy, ruined his business by overextending himself and ended up with no money, and no family either.

Why Not Declare War on Iran?

Right now the polling shows: 1. That most Americans support a strike on Iran…and 2. That most Americans think Iran already has a nuclear weapon. Which is to say, most Americans don’t know what their talking about.

Personally, I’d like to see a debate over a declaration of war on a country that has never attacked us. I don’t always agree with Ron Paul, but I do here. Stop talking and start doing, if you’re going to spend so much time being hawkish, let’s see if you have the balls to declare pre-emptive war on another sovereign nation.

I will go so far as to say that the modern conservative faith is the direct opposite of what the Judeo-Christian Bible teaches: modern conservatives argue that everyone should take what they want and devil take the hindmost, that we are all on our own, and that if you are rich it means that a Darwinian selection process allowed you to succeed, and that you owe nothing to anyone else. Modern conservatives are far more faithful to Ayn Rand, who openly rejected Christianity because of its values of helping the poor and caring for others. Give her credit for one thing: at least she was honest. Conservatives like Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich celebrate we’re all on our own selfishness, and are happy to let the poor starve and the ill die from lack of health care, yet they proclaim their Christian holiness and denounce Obama’s theology. As Jesus would have put it: you have to take the log out of your own eye before you can take the speck out of your brother’s, you hypocrite. Mr. Santorum, if you don’t know the Bible any better than you do, you should be careful calling other people anti-Biblical.
