Right on!! We need a hardworking patriot like George W. Bush...ya know the guy who used his dad's connections to get out of serving in Vietnam and also used his dad's connections to get 4 consecutive jobs he got FIRED from..and then of course was handed a succesful oil company his father founded and he proceeded to run into the ground...fast forward to him doing NOTHING until he received a share of the Texas Rangers...you're correct we need hard working people like that.

I was always annoyed Tim Robbins never allowed a soundtrack for this movie to be released.

Jeez, even presaged the crazy Tea Party costume guys.

Tim Robbins was sadly prophetic with this movie.

@crabman66606 ok, he accomplished nothing good.

Got any credible evidence to support that (Fox "News" doesn't count, since they're not a news organization at all)? I'm no Obama fan, but he did a whole lot more in a year and a half than any of his predecessors did in that time period.

@bigbossman999 Or Obama who accomplished nothing

Yeah, its just that nobody with a brain would believe anything which a liberal says. So when you write you may as well tap keys blindly, because nobody of any shrewdness will believe you anyway.

Love this film, and everything about it. But you have no content for more than 50 seconds. I send this to my friends, they're not going to wait for more than 10 seconds. Sorry.

The first song here sounds like Pete Seeger - "What Did You Learn In School?" I wonder if they meant it.

Did Robbins have a say in the soundtrack? What a controlling man,

Neoconservative refers to anyone who follows the idealogy of Irving Kristol. You're correct in that they have a hawkish, expansionist view of foreign policy but it's not limited to that. They differ from traditional conservatives mainly in the area of economics. Neocons are generally not pure, free-market capitalists. They believe in a limited welfare-state. Sorry, I was bored when I wrote this. Wasn't trying to lecture.

Oh come on, they might work as part of the film but do you actually like these songs? If you really want a soundtrack, get a copy of the film and make one yourself!
