...Republican target. I do not know of a single swing voter the Democrats lost because they opposed cop-killer bullets and government intrusion in churches and libraries, and fought for a balanced budget.

Pay no heed to the fascists—Buñuel creates a work of beauty and comedy, fascinating the viewer while keeping him in stitches. A social activist as much as a filmmaker, Buñuel understood that art and laughter are the strongest tactics at one’s disposal when faced with the forces of oppression. L’Age d’Or teaches us the key to remaining sane...
