Like Rock Hudson? No, RH was a typical commie-fag-junkie actor with Holywood values. Examples of an actors with work despite his anti-Holywood values would be Clint Eastwood or John Wayne. |

I am horrified at the raping and pillaging being done by the conquering liberals now in control of the media, schools, and entertainment. That was last century, Clark. The people who own the media now would make Attila the Hun blanch with embarrassment. They're as money-grubbing, monopoly-loving, and authoritarian as any conservative you'll meet. If we could just get the conservatives back on their feet and in balance with liberals, I might side with the liberals again. But for now, the liberals are cruel masters with their commie-fag-junkie-gun control- anti family propaganda agenda. Whoa! Gun control slipped in there since we last spoke. Anti-family propaganda, too. I thought you were a libertarian? What's all this stuff about fags, junkies, and anti-family? I thought libertarians were supposed to be sort of live-and-let-live on those subjects, no? If we all got issued a machine gun, the schools taught creationism, the tax rate was 5% of GNP, and a jack booted federal thug entered each house every night checking for porno, I might vote with liberals. It's not clear whether you think these are good things or bad things. Since you're a libertarian, one would guess that you hold a low opinion of jack-booted federal thugs. So I'm assuming you think these are all bad things, right? I certainly do. But what we have is the commie-fag-junkie revolutionaries in charge of the information that children get. I gotta tell you, Clark, as a moderate Republican of long standing, if the choice is between commie-fag-junkie revolutionaries on one hand, and jack-booted thugs and teaching creationism on the other, I'm supporting the junkie revolutionaries, or whatever. As a libertarian, I must side with the conservatives until we get those machine guns, and virginity is taught as a virtue in schools. I think that virginity is taught as a virtue in schools. It's just that nobody believes it, especially the kids. However, you may be interested that there has been a very sharp decline in teenage sex in recent years. I'm not sure what decade your TV is tuned to, but it sounds to me like your tuner is stuck around 1984 or so. -- Ed Huntress |

Murphy was a poor Texas farm boy who's father had died and the decided to join the service in 1942, shortly after the Peral Harbor attack and the declaration of war. He was not, at the time, a Movie star. He became a movie star after he returned from WW II. Murphy's actions in WW II were astounding. They were actually toned down to make them more believable in the movie, "To Hell and Back". But yes, many of the movie stars out there are of poor character. Like I said, socialist APPROVED of WW II because it was the war to save Stalin's ass, and to re-install the socialist & communist in France. Hitler hated the socialist/communist. As noted by the House Un American Activities Committee after the war, Hollywood, as well as our media, schools, government, were infested with Soviet Agents and their useful idiots (Useful idiots being Stalin's term for Democrats, basically...). McCarthy, in the Senate, targeted Soviets in the government. FDR and later Truman, kept and protected Soviet Agents within our government, an act of high treason. The Soviets managed to propagandize and smear the efforts to remove their agents, and got people to believe that there were no Soviet agents in the media, the schools, and our government. But the Vennona project provided conclusive evidence that McCarthy and others were right. Now, ask yourself, if they were really there, and the American people bought the Soviet propaganda that there were none, where did they go if they were never gotten rid of? Now you see why Hollywood, college campuses, and many parts of the government are so left wing. Actually, there's nothing wrong with Communism. OTOH You probably don't even know what it is or how much of the current US government's spending ARE Communism. Proably half the world's population do well enough & are rapidly doing better. The problem seemed to be wingers grabbing power ..... BTW, Your rabid ranting stuff is long discredited. As is Nixon. HTH -- Cliff |

There's no point in using facts and logic with folks like you, so we don't even bother trying to refute your arguments anymore. So NO "WMDs"? If you could use your brain instead of letting "journalists" who publish their crap on the web think for you, it might actually be enlightening. Must be all those journalists saying "Where are the "WMDs"", eh? I know that when you wake up in the morning you need to decide whether to stay in bed or go **** (well, you could do both, but I'll give you some credit) that is actually free will and independent thought, and the relief from letting the drug residue drain from your body is a direct result of that minute decision, and you still have the option to continue to think for yourself for the rest of the day. Some of us have more experience at it than others, noted merely by the nature of our responses. I'm paraphrasing here, but someone once said "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." You seem to have failed at that then. Or can you produce: A) "WMDs". B) Saddam's Nukes. C) Those terrorists in Iraq that were such a threat. D) Assuming you CAN, any logical reason for this mess and all the winger lies? E) Failing that, you are supporting the murder of ~100,000+ in Iraq alone. F) Justify the torture. Good luck. I await your "WMDs". -- Cliff |

James Stewart Entered the Army Air Force as a private and worked his way to the rank of Colonel. During World War II, Stewart served as a bomber pilot, his service record crediting him with leading more than 20 missions over Germany, and taking part in hundreds of air strikes during his tour of duty. Stewart earned the Air Medal, the Distinguished Flying Cross, France's Croix de Guerre, and 7 Battle Stars during World War II. Both of these men had lucrative careers in the movies _before_ the war, put aside the Glamor to go into the service. Yeah, I'm sure there was a certain amount of "You're so and so, The Movie Star!, and you're _here_?" but it was their duty. I like what Niven is reported to have said on the beach at Normandy. Something to the effect of "Forward lads, you'll only have to do this once, but I'll have to do this again with Douglas Fairbanks." tschus pyotr -- pyotr filipivich "MTV may talk about lighting fires and killing children, but Janet Reno actually does something about it." --Spy Magazine |

SNIP | Cliff Communism in its _purest_ form actually does work, but it requires a strong uniting factor, such as nationalism (hence Hitler's rise to power) or religion (monasteries and convents) but when you get large groups of diverse people human nature eventually takes hold and overrides the precepts. Then folks look to leaders, who prove that absolute power corrupts absolutely, creating despotic socialism that has collapsed in the past and will eventually again (not the kind that exists in an existing democracy/republic.) George Orwell illustrated this point most dramatically on more than one occasion before it happened in the real world on a grand scale. You will find, however, that countries under communists (socialists are a slightly different breed) have not shown the system to work for extended periods, and the list is too numerous to mention. The ones remaining aren't really communist countries, they just say they are to hide the despots and keep the French sending money. People of all stripes, given the opportunity, prefer to have a choice in how their lives are determined, hence democracy breaking out all over, even in some cultures some defeatists insulted by saying it couldn't be done. The fact that this forum exists and you have the opportunity to troll on is proof that democracy is a powerful and attractive concept. Could the internet ever have been invented under Chinese rule? Now I do expect you to name the half of the world's population that is doing will enough and rapidly "getting better" under either communism or socialism. This I gotta hear! |
