"Some years back I contributed a short squib to National Review’s roster of the 100 best conservative films out of Hollywood on behalf of Ghostbusters, not merely for making the bad guy a buffoon from the EPA, but for noting that the private sector, unlike government or universities, “expects results.”
Lo and behold, along comes Thomas Frank, the lefty author of What’s The Matter With Kansas for Not Voting Like Thomas Frank Thinks They Should (or something like that), writing at Salon.com about the doleful legacy of Harold Ramis’s movies, including Animal House, Caddyshack, and Ghostbusters. Frank thinks these “subversive comedies” were mostly subversive of liberalism, and helped pave the way for Reaganism and “Wall Street greed.”...
Isn't it evident? I have to agree with this Thomas Frank. Slimer had to be a lefty. He left his crap on everything. (everyone misses the sarcasm in 5,4,3,2,1...)
I never realized that Ghostbusters was the new Atlas Shrugged but there are some good comparisons. Americans on their own creating a service that the public wants and the government wanted.
Obama's Response? "Egon, you didn't build that!"
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
