Apocalypto

Another great movie by Mel Gibson with many comparisons that can be made with todays world.

1, The total lack of respect for human life by the savage tribe can be a comparison to the 40 million humans killed by abortion or the hard push by the atheist left to experiment on humans for stem cell research. This kind of disrespect in the name of "progressiveness" is the beginning of the down fall of a great civilization.

2, The total denial of fear or the imminent threat by the Father of the civilized tribe in order to "protect" his village can easily be an analogy for the US government before 9/11 or the UK govt before 7/7 or the mindset of the left in Britain or the US who want us to return to a state of denial and go back on defence as was the failed policy before 911. It is the militant left in the UK who are in collaboration with militant islam who have prevented any counterterrorism measures being implemented by Tony Blair that are necessary to save lives in the UK. That last plot by the terrorist doctors in the UK only failed because of their incompetence it was not stopped by the efficieny of the UK govt or intelligence agencies.

3, Another analogy can be that the infighting between the tribes in Apocalypto kept them divided and made them weak and easily defeated by the arriving Spanish. This is like the totally polarized political climate in the US, where the democrats have put their careers ahead of US security and victory. The US democrats are completely invested in defeat in Iraq and many of them have been caught on tape saying that "success in iraq would be bad for us", this is sedition and treason of the highest order. It exposes the real reason behind them trying to undercut the effort and stab the US troops in the back, as well as the Iraqi people and moderate muslims in the Middle East. The deep division in American and British society has kept us weak and ineffective, the radical islamists know this and use it to their advantage. It is the US left who are trying to undercut surveillance and "kill the patriot act" which puts more lives in danger. Policies put in place by The Bush admin have prevented any more attacks on US soil since 911, the British have had another attack since 7/7 and more are coming, because of leftist scum collaborating with radical islam, the likes of Galloway and Livingstone come to mind.

4, Then there are the mass graves that the "chosen one" fell into while trying to escape from the savages, anyone who does not immediately think of Saddam Hussein's graves when they see this must live in a cave or be a staunch Liberal. You remember the mass graves that the European and US media is trying to make you forget? If you forget about them maybe you will believe the lies being pushed that the Iraqis were better off under Saddam. Then you will become even more anti American and anti Bush.
The common liberal thought seems to be that when Saddam was killing people quietly without a world news media watching, that was somehow better than now. Like saying the South African blacks were better off under Apartheid? HOGWASH!!!!!!

Another great bit about this movie was the fact that he did not try and sugarcoat or romanticize the ancient tribes, he showed their savagery. This is unlike many portrayals of tribes by many who paint them as peaceful and perfect and only white christian settlers are evil.
