We wondered what would happen to Phill Kline after his flame-out in Kansas politics. After he lost the Republican primary in the Johnson County District Attorney's race to Steve Howe, Kline left Kansas for to teach at Liberty University in Virginia.
But now, after seeing his latest missive on Free Republic, it looks like Kline is an aspiring movie critic -- and a crotchety one at that, as he panned James Cameron's sci-fi epic Avatar. Kline sees "Al Gore environmentalism" in the film's theme of protecting the planet from destruction, and he definitely sees a fault in Cameron's use of the United States and Marines as the "bad guys."
Kline has no problem playing spoiler to the film's ending.
Nature prevails and evil capitalism and man is defeated. Eywa(That last line is his interpretation.)thereby expresses the only truth respected by the left, a truth worth
choosing sides for -- a truth worth killing for, mother earth. China's

earth. Every living thing on planet Pandora is a god. And so, the new
left has reached back in history to leap ahead of the scientific age.
In the new religion, man is not god as in the age of reason and
science. Rather, all is god and thereby nothing is god. But at least
we're spiritual.

Call it what it is. It is a liberal view of the world and how all progress is evil. Nonetheless, it is a great movie.
It seems Kline was too preoccupied with framing the movie into his predictable rightwing distortions to notice that none of the "soldiers" were wearing US military uniforms. They were, in fact, private mercenaries, hired to drive the local residents off their land (so much for his respect for private property rights). There are only two characters that we know were former Marines, one of whom is the hero of the film. Maybe the amazing popularity of this movie shows that people aren't afraid of taking a new look at things. Ranting, rigid ideologues like Kline and Limbaugh can fill their hot air balloons and drift off to oblivion.
