Americans 1, CBS 0, continued

They had the gall to call it a love story when what it turned out to be was a hate crime.

And as loud as CBS president Les Moonves - a great Clinton and Castro chum, by the way - whines about how unfair and inaccurate the end result turned out to be, he was there from the very beginning, knew what it was all about and the extreme liberalism of those he hired to create it, and backed their sorry production to the hilt. He only "discovered" that it was a piece of junk after the American people rose up and cried "enough of this garbage."

Ronald Reagan's greatest crime to Hollywood and the elite media is that even though he came out of Hollywood he wasn't like them. And they are right. He was one of us, a decent, hardworking American who came from a humble background and clawed his way up the ladder by his own efforts.

Moreover, as I have written, he is as big hearted a man as ever rose to become President of the United States. He has what Hollywood and the leftwing media scorn - a bedrock respect for his fellow Americans. He was a product of the great heartland of America - that vast area the elites of the East and West coasts dismiss as "Flyover Country."

Well, Flyover Country rose up and reminded its detractors that we Americans have a lot of fight left in us. Hollywood, CBS and all those snobs in the elite media who look down their noses at us had better remember that old American cry of defiance: "Don't Tread on Us."

We've just seen the sun rise; it's morning in America again.
