That was back when the men (yes M'ette, women too) in hollywood were men and Americans first and actors second.  Today they are a VERY rare breed.


Today most of the Hollywood Elite seem to be charter members of the Blame America First Club.

Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. - George Washington

He was above all, everything that is American.



Fewer and fewer of "todays" actors will never measure up.

That's truly sad.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

One of the nice things about my new job is that I have entertainment as I work in the office.  Many changes in the day's plans, and I'm working from home today.  Back on track ... My favorite Jimmy Stewart movie is on today - "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance."

With Jimmy's birthday today, and the Duke next Wednesday, this movie and many other good ones ought to be shown for a couple weeks here  ;D

This is why I've always thought that Jimmy Stewart, rather than the Duke, should be the model for American manhood. On screen and off, he played it like he lived it. Quiet, polite and thoughtful, and willing to laugh at himself. But, when the chips were down, he was there. No swagger, no BS, just a quiet guy who was a good neighbor, but would shoot your ass if he had to, then get on with his ife. I know its heresy, but I would rather more folks saw us as Jimmy Stewart than John Wayne. To my mind, he embodied the Gadsen flag. Easy to get along with, but dangerous when crossed. We all have our childhood heros, Stewart was always one of mine since I saw "The Man that Shot Liberty Valance", and my grandad, whose brother died in the army aircorps, told he was a bomber pilot in WWII..

I don't think that we'll ever see George Clooney, Brad Pitt, or the Jonas Brothers ever stand up to such a calling as Jimmy Stewart did.

I am sure Paul Harvey would approve...and I'd not be surprised if he didn't do just such a story.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
