Veteran crooner Andy Williams lambasts ‘Marxist’ Barack Obama

“Don’t like him at all. I think he wants to create a socialist country. The people he associates with are very left-wing. One is registered as a Communist. Obama is following Marxist theory. He’s taken over the banks and the car industry. He wants the country to fail.” Andy Williams

From 2009:

Veteran crooner Andy Williams lambasted Barack Obama today, accusing the US president of “following Marxist theory” and “wanting the country to fail”.

Williams, a lifelong Republican, told the Radio Times he thought President Obama wanted to turn the US into a “socialist country”.

The 81-year-old, whose hits include Moon River and Music To Watch Girls By, was a friend of the Kennedy family during the 1960s and was present at the Los Angeles rally where Robert Kennedy was assassinated in 1968.

“I was very close to Bobby and he asked me to be a delegate for him when he ran for president,” he told the magazine.

“He knew about me being a Republican, but just laughed and said, ‘Sign yourself in as a Democrat and then change back afterwards’. Sadly, I never got to do that.

“I was very close to Teddy Kennedy, too, and his death recently brought it all back. What a tragedy. Had he lived, I think Bobby would have been a great president.”

Williams has a rather less favourable opinion of the current President.

Christopher Mitchum and John Wayne

Finally, I got an interview for Steelyard Blues. The casting director took one look at me and said, “Oh, you’re THAT Chris Mitchum. I’m sorry, I can’t interview you.”"Why?”"Because you’ve starred with John Wayne.”

[...]

Q: In the early 1970s, you went to work in Europe (Italy, Spain, France…) and appeared in many “B” pictures directed by the likes of Tulio Demichelli or Aldo Sambrell. What motivated you on this career change? Did you ever feel that it could have a negative impact on your image?

CM: Of course it had a negative impact on my image. After I filmed Big Jake with Wayne, I received a number of awards. NATO and Box Office Star-to-watch. Photoplay Gold Medal Award Best New Actor, and so on. While on the PA tour for the release of Big Jake, I received a job offer to shoot a film in Spain with Olivia Hussey, Karl Malden and a great international cast. I was the star. I took it. When I got back, I didn’t have a job interview for 11 months. Finally, I got an interview for Steelyard Blues. The casting director took one look at me and said, “Oh, you’re THAT Chris Mitchum. I’m sorry, I can’t interview you.”

“Why?”

“Because you’ve starred with John Wayne.”

Duke was very visible standing up for our troops in Viet Nam. Hollywood saw that as “supporting the war.” It wasn’t. Still, anyone who starred with Duke was blackballed. “They” didn’t want to chance another star having a political voice with which they disagreed. So, I was blackballed in some circles. I had another job offer in Spain. When I went there, my first film, Summertime Killer had been a big hit. Ran for a year on the Gran Via. I was a major star there and immediately upon arrival, I was offered another film. I had a family to feed. Europe was where the work was, so I moved to Spain. Of course, once you become a “foreign star,” you’re regarded as a “B” actor and fall out of the loop.

Chris Mitchum for Congress.

In 2008, Progressives took control of our government. They immediately began an aggressive agenda to enlarge government and gain more control over our lives. In doing so, they increased our National debt by over 50% in just three years, sentencing generations to come with a massive burden. For the first time ever, more than 70% of Federal spending goes to Dependence programs.

Walt Disney Startles Red Hearing – October 25th, 1947

Lists Women Voters Among Communists; Says National Labor Relations Board “Used” at hearings on Communism in Hollywood by the House committee on un-American activities.

WASHINGTON, Oct 24 – Walt Disney told congressional investigators Friday that Hollywood labor leader Herbert K. Sorrell, whom he “believes” to be a Communist. had boasted of using the National Labor Relations Board “as it suited him.”

The daddy of “Donald Duck” and “Mickey Mouse” movies testified at hearings on Communism in Hollywood by the House committee on un-American activities.

Disney sent a gasp through the audience when he included the League of Women Voters among Communist front organizations.

Actress Is Named

1. Oliver Carlson, who said he was once a Communist and now teaches in the University of California extension division, testified that Actress Karen Morley and two lawyers, who are keeping an eye on the congressional inquiry, taught in what he described as a Red school in Hollywood. He also said that Communists had attempted to take control of Los Angeles public schools and in a recent school board election there polled 24,543 votes for an unsuccessful Communist candidate.

Who stole our culture? – An excerpt Pat Boone’s book: “The Culture-wise Family”

It is no accident that the entertainment industry is now cultural Marxism’s most powerful weapon.

From 2007:

Editor’s note: This column is an excerpt from Dr. Ted Baehr and Pat Boone’s new book “The Culture-wise Family: Upholding Christian Values in a Mass Media World.” In the book, entertainment expert Dr. Ted Baehr and legendary musician Pat Boone urge people to make wise choices for themselves and their families so they can protect their children from toxic messages in the culture.

The following is Chapter 10, written by historian Williams S. Lind.

Sometime during the last half-century, someone stole our culture. Just 50 years ago, in the 1950s, America was a great place. It was safe. It was decent. Children got good educations in the public schools. Even blue-collar fathers brought home middle-class incomes, so moms could stay home with the kids. Television shows reflected sound, traditional values.

Where did it all go? How did that America become the sleazy, decadent place we live in today – so different that those who grew up prior to the ’60s feel like it’s a foreign country? Did it just ‘happen’?

It didn’t just ‘happen.’ In fact, a deliberate agenda was followed to steal our culture and leave a new and very different one in its place. The story of how and why is one of the most important parts of our nation’s history – and it is a story almost no one knows. The people behind it wanted it that way.

What happened, in short, is that America’s traditional culture, which had grown up over generations from our Western, Judeo-Christian roots, was swept aside by an ideology. We know that ideology best as ‘political correctness’ or ‘multi-culturalism.’

Real Hollywood Heroes: Charlton Heston v. Ice-T’s Cop Killer

“What I did was against the advice of my family and my colleagues. I asked for the floor. To a hushed room of a thousand average American stockholders, I simply read the full lyrics of “Cop Killer” — every vicious, vulgar, instructional word: ‘I got my 12-Gauge sawed-off. I got my headlights turned off. I’m about to bust some shots off. I’m about to dust some cops off.’ It got worse, a lot worse.” -Charlton Heston

HESTON TAKING ON TIME WARNER’S PROMOTION OF “COP KILLER” ALBUM (Conversation between host Tony Snow and Charlton Heston)

SNOW: “You have one of the great voices in the entertainment world. A few years ago, you showed up at a Time Warner stockholders meeting and started reading the lyrics from a rap album and just froze everybody in their tracks.”

HESTON: “That was that terrible album by Ice T called ‘Cop Killer.’ And I’m very proud of this, I really am. I owned some Time Warner stock and I went in and confronted their full board meeting and read the lyrics. I can’t repeat them on television.”

SNOW: “No, you can’t.”

HESTON: “And I shamed Time Warner, the largest entertainment conglomerate in the world, into firing Ice T and dropping the album. Now, he threatened to kill me. He hasn’t done that yet.”

SNOW: “I believe your quote was something like ‘Let him try.’”

HESTON: “Well, maybe I scared him. And I haven’t gotten a job from Warner Brothers since or a good notice in Time, but I’m as proud of that as anything I’ve ever done.”

Real Hollywood Heroes: Race and Gender – Politics’ New ‘Third Rail’ by Pat Sajak

The Left’s obsession with politically correct speech is pushing us into a extremely dangerous corner where the very acknowledgment of race or gender is, on its face, proof positive of the speaker’s racism or misogyny. However, the plain fact is, race and gender do matter.

Al Sharpton, that paragon of tolerance and measured response, is angry–incensed, actually–with Pennsylvania Governor (and Hillary Clinton supporter) Ed Rendell, who dared suggest some white voters were probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate. He’s also angry/incensed with former vice-presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro for saying, “If [Barack] Obama was a white man he would not be in this position,” adding she would not have been chosen as Walter Mondale’s running mate in 1984 if she were a male. For her sins, she has been ousted from her position on Hillary Clinton’s finance committee and forced to go stand in a corner of Democratic purgatory.

So what’s the problem with these remarks? Does Sharpton believe not one white voter out of the 72% who voted for Clinton in the recent Mississippi primary did so because he simply wouldn’t vote for a black man? And does he think not one black voter of the 91% who voted for Obama did so solely because of that same fact? If he really does believe those things are true, then Rendell and Ferraro are wrong, all is well with race in America, and the good Reverend can close shop and go back to whatever it is he used to do. Don’t hold your breath for that one; I suspect the leases on his offices are long-term.

The Left’s obsession with politically correct speech is pushing us into a extremely dangerous corner where the very acknowledgment of race or gender is, on its face, proof positive of the speaker’s racism or misogyny. However, the plain fact is, race and gender do matter. They matter in ways both large and small, both admirable and repugnant. All aspects of a human being matter in all walks of life. It helps to be a Mormon running for office in Utah. It helps to be tall if you’d like to be an NBA center. It helps to be loud and outrageous if you want microphones thrust in front of your face every time you open your mouth in front of your offices with the long-term leases.

Real Hollywood Heroes: John Wayne on Liberals (Video)

“I have listened to everybody’s point of view that I have ever met, and then decide how I should feel. But this so-called new liberal group; Jesus, they never listen to your point of view. And they make a decision as to what you think, and they’re articulate enough and in control enough of the press to force that image out for the average person. For some reason … they have not been able to do that to me.” John Wayne
