Thumbs Up for Expelled

Here is a post that I found in a movie review group. I like it although I
am sure many in the atheist groups will not. You do not want to know what
your "enemies" are saying? It seems many atheists think creationists are
worse enemies than Muslim terrorists! Here is the post - I anxiously wait
for your rants >

I'm sorry, but....what?

...is wrong. It is based upon out-of-context quotes and just flat-out
wrong claims.

If you feel I'm wrong, please provide portions of the movie that you
feel cannot be debunked.

George Orwell (born Eric Blair) was one of the most logical, rational and

He wrote eloquently and often about the importance of precision and
correctness in the use of English. Possibly his most important contribution
(out of many many MANY important contributions) is the essay "Politics and
the English Language" which can be read here:
http://www.george-orwell.org/Politics_and_the_English_Language/0.html

The idea that he could be in any way connected with or responsible for the
misspelt, ungrammatical, illiterate and illogical ramblings of the idiot who
wrote the rubbish in the post that started this thread is simply depressing.

Well, creationists do more damage to the well-being of your country.

Looks like the producers fell for one of the classic entertainment
blunders
-- the most famous of which is "Never get involved in a legal
fight with Disney lawyers," but only slightly less well known is this:
"Never depend on 'fair use' when a Beatle copyright is on the line!"
