Red Skelton and the Pledge

If by "liberal" you mean "not conservative," you're right, although I don't consider myself a liberal either, which is why I don't listen to them.

If you say so but its funny how many liberals don't consider themselve that, they even tried to hide and change their name to progressives......

I have, for the most part, always got them impression that these Hollywood celebrities, be it Alec Baldwin from the right to that Dixie Chick chick on the left, and all points in between, to be air-heads.

Wouldn't most of you guys agree?

Must be in the Hollywood water.

But Red Skelton was a sweet, passive, man of conviction who lived his life making other people feel better. He played the part of a clown. He knew his part.

Today's Hollywood clowns could learn a lesson from Red.

Well, in all fairness, I didn't see the allure in, say, Gene Autry that my father did. It's a generational thing. It's all relative I suppose.

I know we'll never get back the old days. Adapt and improvise, I suppose.

But how nice would it be to wake up tomorrow and be back in the days of Red Skelton, my 70' Ford Maverick, and sticking my finger in Debbie M's stink-hole again. Just for 24 hours. How cool would that be?

Anybody remember Laugh-In? Ed Sullivan? Hallibaloo? Shindig? Malibu U? Paradise Island? 77 Sunset Strip? And John Wayne movies. And the new weekely episode of Batman. Pow! Zowie! Jetson's and Flintstones.

It's funny you should say that, because I consider myself progressive. However, I'm definitely not a liberal. And I was thinking of writing a blog that explains the difference between the two.

I only saw Red Skelton in "Hatari," and that was about it. However, I LOVED watching "Get Smart" on Nick At Nite as a kid, and "Dobie Gillis" too. Also loved the Adam West "Batman." I would watch that after school on the Family Channel. That show made me crush on Batgirl. And Catwoman.

If the times before 1969 when Christ was in public school made the United States so great then why did African-Americans have to protest to gain their civil rights that were denied to them before then?

Ask the Democrats who were in control of Congress for years before.
