There'll Never Be Another Like the Big Man in the Battered Hat

Sometimes I think I must be one of the last of a dying breed - a fan of the old movies and actors like John Wayne. I know I will probably make someone mad with this post, because it is about something trivial. Oh well, fire away.

Actually, I found out recently that a couple of teenage girls at school like the old Westerns, especially the John Wayne movies. Maybe I'm not part of dying breed after all.

Getting to what this post is all about.....

This month, Rio Bravo (trailer below) turns 50. It seems like this anniversary is being ignored. We have more important things to talk about, such as President Obama appearing on The Tonight Show. Oh, boy.

They haven't made movies like this in a long time. If I have time, I'll dig my copy out and watch it again this weekend. Walter Brennan always did make me laugh.

In these old movies, the good guys weren't perfect like everyone claims they were portrayed. No, the good guys were actually a rough crowd, just doing the best they could to protect their families, friends and way of life. Sounds like real men to me.

Oh, and if you don't like John Wayne or Rio Bravo, it's probably because you're a Communist. (If that don't make you mad nothing will.)

INTO THE DEN OF THIEVES

Anatomy of a Scam
GetLiberty.org

The bill is called GIVE – standing for "Generations Invigorating Volunteers and Education Act". It’s the kind of obviously contrived moniker most grown adults would be too embarrassed even to admit having remotely considered. But, not the Criminal Class. In their rarified world of sheer self-indulgence, it’s well-nigh considered a stroke of genius. Almost Shakespearean. And one can’t help but wish they just would have settled for "Gee I’m Vacuous and Empty-headed."

MISSOURI SCRAPS M.I.A.C. REPORT
By Chuck Baldwin/NewsWithViews.com

If we can continue to probe the details of the MIAC report, I am absolutely convinced we will find that this report actually originates with Morris Dees and his ultra-liberal Southern Poverty Law Center. And if my hunch (a very educated hunch, I might add) is correct, it means that the DHS and various State police agencies around the country are allowing a left-wing special interest group to use them to harass, intimidate, and profile people with conservative political opinions.

Gov. Sanford has been predicting for years what will happen if the U.S. continues its present course: In virtually every public speech he makes, he includes this timeline of nations, learned from 200 years of history:

1. From bondage to spiritual faith
2. From spiritual faith to great courage
3. From courage to liberty
4. From liberty to abundance
5. From abundance to complacency
6. From complacency to apathy
7. From apathy to dependence
8. From dependence back into bondage
