I don't necessarily dislike Avatar just because of the politics, but they do help me to hate it. I do not like that they portray the "villainous" army to be "Marines" who happen to dress, look, and act like our U.S. Marine Corp. Put on top of it that it is pretty much "Dances in Wolves in Space".

For me, as a Conservative, I am absolute sick of almost every medium being unabashedly anti-conservative. Most every movie made these days have an anti-conservative tone to me, not all, but most. Then I turn my TV at night and see Letterman proclaiming conservatives as stupid, Jon Stewart displaying conservatives as neanderthals, SNL hating on us, so on and so forth. And almost every interview with mainstream actors eventually ends up with the "intellectual" movie star proclaiming conservatives as morons. Despite the fact that conservatives are the clear majority in the United States, the media and Hollywood would have you think otherwise. It's quite aggravating that my side is constantly demonized for our beliefs. I could go on and on, but I'll stop for now.
