John Sullivan, co-director of Dinesh D’Souza’s popular documentary films, is suing the producers of God’s Not Dead claiming that he and actor Brad Stine originated the plot of what became one of the biggest Christian films of the modern era. In a lawsuit filed Friday against Pure Flix Entertainment and co-founder David A.R. White, Sullivan and Stine allege they co-created and wrote a comprehensive original treatment for a faith-based film similar to what eventually became God’s Not Dead and negotiated its production with Pure Flix, which then cut the two out of the equation.

Conservative Christian comedian Brad Stine has been described as "a clean Denis Leary," which basically means that he Yells A Lot but only yells words Without Four Letters. As such, he was the Perfect Guy to send Cpac attendees off before the day's big dinner. To close off His Set, he explained that the Only Thing missing from the conservative movement right now was "the Comedy Factor," as people like Jon Stewart and Bill Maher were spreading liberal messages far and wide. He told the audience that they needed To Rally Together to spread the truth about the Liberal Wussification Of America. Some examples of wussification that Stine attacked were Air Bags and Children's Bikes That Aren't Clearly Designed For One Gender Or Another.

Santa Claus doesn't just drop off presents for kids -- he also encourages the soul-crushing of generation after generation of Christmas-reveling children. Or says one author, at least.
Appearing on Fox News, author and special ed professor George Giuliani asserted that St. Nick's behavior in the classic stop motion cartoon, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is tantamount to bullying, and sends a wrong message to children watching the family favorite. As such, he's written a new book, "No More Bullies at the North Pole," which re-tells the story of the triumphant reindeer.
"Santa has ten policies that are very unfair, and Mrs. Claus sets out to correct those policies, and what you just saw, where Rudolph is being treated very very badly, and that should never happen," Guiliani said.
When challenged with the idea that Rudolph is overcoming and proving bullies wrong, Guiliani was unreleting.

Zany conservative comic Brad Stine appeared on Monday's Fox and Friends to rag on "lazy Americans" who should feel "ashamed" they're unemployed. Anchor Gretchen Carlson asked Stine if Americans were willing to do tough jobs. "Are Americans too lazy to do that? The answer is yes!" Stine exclaimed. "...We used to make it shameful not to work. We called people that didn't work hobos! What happened to the hobos? We need to bring these people back and make them feel ashamed but political correctness came in and said we don't want them to feel bad about not working. Yes, we do! Get to work! The ideology that told people that we don't have to work hard, we'll subsidize people and make high class hobos by taking money who work and give it to people that don't work. Effectively, they bought them off."...

On Monday's edition of Fox and Friends, conservative comedian and Alpha male proponent Brad Stine spoke out against the "wussification of America" and how entitlement programs were turning men into boys, taking a swipe at the Occupy Wall Street movement. "Conservative concepts believe in little government -- take care of yourself, and that makes men who invent things like the constitution! Liberal thought has big government -- we'll take care of you -- and that creates boys and they create things like Occupy Wall Street!

There you are, all curled up on the sofa, holding a mug of hot cocoa with one hand, knitting an unsightly reindeer sweater with the other. Your tree is twinkling, your fireplace is glowing, and your neighbors are caroling semi-competently on your snow-dusted lawn. Is there anything that could make this scene more festive? You bet your sweet chestnuts there is. The holidays aren’t officially the holidays until we gorge ourselves on the buffet of new Christmas TV movies served up around this time of year. Are they corny? Like an Iowa farm. Predictable? You can set your watch...
