I guess after watching the emasculation of America by The Left, a few of America's masculine movie stars have come out of Hollywood's Conservative closet to voice their views...

"The Expendables"

What would John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart think of this?

Sylvester Stallone has been defending his movie "The Expendables" from the dastardly charge that the movie is... too American.

"I'm innocent. I didn't do nuttin," Stallone joked Thursday night on "The O'Reilly Factor."

Stallone was responding to an assertion in the Los Angeles Times that "Expendables" was exploiting patriotism in order to put American-made butts into movie theater seats.

All that pro-American schmaltz where right is right and wrong is wrong should be left to country music and Fox News, not Hollywood, suggests Steven Zeitchick in the Times article. He writes, "When times are confusing, we want movies to reflect that confusion, and even to make sense of it. But we probably don't want to pretend that confusion doesn't exist."

The article prompted host Bill O'Reilly to ask Stallone: "There's no, like, subtle promoting-America message to the people of Pakistan" in the movie?

Apparently not.

"It's pretty straight forward," Stallone said. "You're bad, you gotta go."
