The strong central theme of the film is that a peaceful and nature loving people will inevitably be called upon to fight and protect themselves. This is a new plank in the liberal mindset, and may come as a surprise to those accustomed to the surrendering posture of the left. Essentially, the message is that it’s crucial to keep your guard up, because you never know when those nasty Americans might cross the borde . . . I mean, you never know when they might come across the galaxy, expending tons of carbon into the universe, just to rob an indigenous population of it’s closely guarded, but unused, resources. And, yes, in case you’re wondering, apparently Cameron does see war as the answer! I’m telling you right now, if there are aliens in the universe who see soiled diapers as a resource, come and get ‘em cuz we ain’t using ‘em! No need to hit me with a death ray!

But the most comforting message from Cameron is the setting of the film in the year 2154, a clear indication that he see the arguments of so called “expert climatologists” as pure bunk. Although, setting the film in, say, the year 2014 would have been useful to get Barack Obama’s face in front of the Na’vi and give him another chance to apologize for American exceptionalism, we did, afterall, master interstellar travel even if we are a warlike species! There could have been a fadeout ending with the Na’vi moving into public housing and Obama receiving the Intergalactic Peace Prize he so deserves. Who knew there were so many peace-loving species?

I think the most disappointing aspect of Cameron’s message is the inherent weaknesses of a peaceful and nature-loving species.  And, history repeats itself when victory is achieved only after a noble white man rises to stop the surge.  But hey, maybe al-Qaeda will see the movie and begin kidnapping white non-combatants to act as something other than a sacrifice in the name of peace!

So what should we take from this film? Live a peaceful existence or be ready for pirating aliens out to scoop up our scarcities? Maybe we should look deeper and understand that even liberals are conflicted with their own vision of the future. Though they loathe us, they want us on that wall, they NEED us on that wall. While stopping short of apologizing for liberal attempts to dismantle this, the world’s greatest nation, this movie goes a long way towards reinforcing the idea of “speak softly and carry a big stick.”

Theodore Roosevelt would be proud, now if only we could bag one of those Na’vi for the Smithsonian.

Now, that wasn’t so bad was it, did you get your number? That’s right, your number, you got one right? You’re gonna need that because this is THE gift of the year. Yes, yes, I hear your objections but give me a moment because while Harry Reid’s vision may not be out on shelves yet, make no mistake, demand is going to be strong! You’re going to be impressed, you’re going to love it, there’s nothing like it, you’re kids are gonna thank you for doing the right thing!

Why do you need a number? Well, anything worth getting at this time of the year requires a number! You know that! You can’t go out and just pick up this sweet of a deal without getting a number! Besides, only the first 31 million people get a number and you didn’t see anything in that vision that restricted anyone on this planet from getting this sweet deal, now did you? No, I didn’t think so, you’re a smart one, yes you are! And we gotta count up these 31 million somehow. People are getting in their cars, their boats, their balloons even as we speak to get down to their closest Federal office to get this deal.

So, back to your number, you know it’s gonna hold your place in line, but even better, it also gets you a place in next year’s line as we begin doling out procedures. You need a mammogram, that number gives you a shot of receiving one outta the budget for 2010. Sorry, only one per family til we know if everyone got one. You need an MRI, line up right away, because they’re going fast. You need an abortion? Exercise your reproductive rights and head to the front of the line. After all, it’s not reproducing if you don’t keep doing it!

But you need to start thinking about your choices now because some people, not you or your family of course, will be denied, it’s first come first served and if you wait, you will be charged!

And I got one final benefit you’re gonna love, it fits right into your tax bracket! That’s right, in fact, if you’re one of the lucky 31 million newly insureds, this gift just keeps on giving. Not only do you get subsidized healthcare paid for by your neighbors, but you also get to help lower the deficit, it’s like money’s growing on trees! It’d be criminal not to take this healthcare, you wanna leave your kids with higher debt? C’mon now, let’s get this thing rolling, let’s get you signed up, and just let good ole’ Uncle Sam take care of you!
