Teabaggers say "screw you" to Hollywood with their high production values, good writing, and talented actors. And make their OWN movies without high production values, good writing, or talented actors. Good plan!

From the Hollywood Reporter:

Those who belong to the conservative movement known as the Tea Party are acutely aware of the power of popular culture, so they have been cautiously delving into the creation of entertainment that promotes their values. It usually manifests itself in snippets of online political parody. Coming Sunday, though, is perhaps the most ambitious effort yet: A “TV show” created by a couple of Tea Partiers who have formed their own production company.

The one-hour drama is called Courage, New Hampshire, and it premiers Sunday at a movie theater in Monrovia, Calif. Co-hosting the red carpet activities are Saturday Night Live alumna Victoria Jackson and radio personality Tony Katz, both of whom regularly speak at Tea Party rallies.

Courage has the pacing and feel of a soap opera, though its set in Colonial America. While its creators are making it as a TV show, there’s no distribution partner, so it’s going straight to DVD after the premiere. The company, Colony Bay, is also trying to strike deals with conservative online TV outlets, like Glenn Beck’s GBTV and Kelsey Grammer’s Right Network, and are seeking a television VOD partner.

In other words nobody will touch this pile of festering pigshit with a ten foot pole, but hell let's just put it on DVD anyway!

You may think you are capable of visualizing just how bad this Colonial American "soap opera" is, but you really have no idea.  Here is just a sample.



See?  What did  I tell you?

The first episode of Courage is subtitled “The Travail of Sarah Pine” and stars Alexandra Oliver as a colonial woman who accuses a British soldier of the crime of “bastardy.”

Riley said that realism was paramount because "Hollywood tends to make over the past in its own image – 18th century women become raging feminists; statesmen become agnostics or rakes."
Their goal of accuracy is best reflected during trial scenes that include oratory that might not past muster with your modern-day TV executive.

In other words they took out everything that would  make it accessible to modern audiences and keep them from passing out face first into their popcorn bowls. Brilliant!

The prosecutor, for example, begins the trial with: “Bob Wheedle, he not having the fear of God before his eyes but being moved and seduced by the instigation of the devil in his own wicked heart, did willfully seduce and thereby obtain carnal knowledge of an innocent, chaste girl with promises of marriage -- and he has sired a bastard child born of her body, and now refuses its care.”

I think the above is the Colonial American version of what Bristol claims that Levi did to her in that tent when she was fifteen.  In other words it is poorly written bullshit!

When I first read about this "soap opera" I thought that it MUST be a parody.  But nope, these idiots are serious!

The bad news is that these assholes are trying to rewrite history in the puritanical image of what they want to believe it must have been like.  The good news is that nobody will be able to stay awake long enough for the propaganda to work on them.

Hell, I passed out twice just watching this YouTube video!
