Default The Borne Ultimatum as a critique of the Bush administration

Pretty obvious.

Bourne is the opposite of Jack Bauer, from 24.

Bourne seeks to end torture and black-ops. Bauer revels in the commission of it. Bourne series endorses checks and balances. 24 sneers at them.

I'm surprised that some of you were not more upset with this liberal propaganda.

I read something on that a while ago in National Review. Bourne is the left-wing's only real action hero.

Recently, Matt Damon was trashing James Bond calling him a mysoginist and imperialist among other things.

in Bond movies, women are sexual objects.

In Bourne movies, women are the hero's only trusted allies, who are occasionally sexual partners.

James Bond would kick Bourne's ass and not even break a sweat doing it.
