Red Skelton and the Pledge

Whistling in the dark for the good old days that never existed? There's a good reason it's rarely heard. It's a pile of steaming turgid dross, tall as its mercifully dead author. Let it lie.
 
The attitude of anti-American Liberals is that ours is a Country Obama needs to destroy and then turn into their idealistic Utopian Socialist/Marxist 3rd world nation where it's a race to the bottom.

This world did ad does exist in the hearts and minds of real Americans who have values and still respect the Constitution and the principles out Country like no other in history was founded.

Our undoing will be the wacko leftist with no values but lots of false caims to make and names to call others.

Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.
 
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?

It was probably before your time but it existed my left wing friend....We had our problems but it did exist.....
 
I had the pleasure not long ago of seeing a PBS special on Red Skelton. For any one who has not seen his comedy, I strongly suggest that you check it out. The man was hilarious, and clearly loved his work. It's also important to remember that that is what Red Skelton was, a comedian.

He was also a true patriot who loved this country........
 
Which has exactly what to do with what I said?

Not sure that was your point more to the fact that he is just a comedian... Of course I could say the same thing about most of the comedians in Hollywood today that think they are hot shot politicians..........

What rock did you call out from under? If you don't like the post, ignore it and move on. IMO, your statement shows what you think of America, and its not much.

Why would anybody ignore a post in a forum dedicated to debates and arguments? If this post doesn't need to be debated, then it should either go to the "off-topic discussion" board or not be posted at all.

Your right. It is a debate forum.

Guess I should have said. MS why do you think it is "It's a pile of steaming turgid dross, tall as its mercifully dead author. Let it lie. "

IMO, Red was a great example of what Americans should be.

My stance of MS statements says alot about him stands.

The poster made no debate type comment. Other than to, imo state trash.

I don't think he was stating any trash. He was pointing out that Red Skelton was feeling nostalgic for an era that wasn't nearly as good as he believed it was. And I agree with him that it wasn't all that great.

An older rock than the OP. My statement refers to the debasing of Skelton's politics into feelgood rose-tinted trash. How do you debate trash without referral to trash?

Ok. However I disagree with you. So how much respect do you have for America and how do you show it?

I bet if Red Skelton was black, homosexual, and a woman he wouldn't have nearly the respect for America that he did as a straight, white man.

Good luck finding a post on this forum where I've stated my support for anything Barbara Streisand has said.

Just so you know, I don't listen to her either.

Striesand is just and example.... I could name a hundred more lefty stars that are always running their mouth and are clueless about what they are talking about....
 
Skelton certainly fits that demographic, his career peaked in the 1950's
