Good Grief, all you PC people...

I think some of the comments about The Patriot are just a reflection of the politically correct, brain washed, ignorant times that we live in. And also a reflection of the majority of people in this country who have NO appreciation for what our founding fathers died for.
Does every person living in this century KNOW beyond a doubt that EVERY black slave suffered horribly and had a miserable life? Isn't it a possibility that some of them could have been treated well? Isn't it a possibility that every Indian on the frontier wasn't slaughtered by the big, evil white man? Isn't it a REAL fact that many, many Indians SLAUGHTERED, needlessly, white men who immigrated here?
Do you people not know that African slaves were sold into slavery by their fellow Africans, that many of them who came here were criminals? And that it was the Spanish who created the slave trade, not the Americans? And that the Africans had their own system of slavery in Africa? And that the Indians brutally tortured and killed each other in times of war, and also took white men as war prisoners?
I don't understand what all this PC stuff has to do with a movie about a war that CREATED this FREE country.
It's sort of like American citizens biting the hands that feed them. And in that time, war was considered a fact of life -- a means of survival.

It's almost like some of these reviewers wish that we had never fought, at least in their unrealistic PC minds, the American revolution. Then they wouldn't have had the opportunity to live in the greatest country that has ever existed. I guess it's not PC to talk about history at all, unless it's degrading the evil American white man, who in their cloistered minds, is the only race that has ever done anything wrong in the history of the universe.

All you PC'ers are TOTALLY missing the point!
