And a comment like 'A guy like that should shut his face' - come on Clint, come on. He sounds like an angry old man right there."
Yeah, he doesn't sound young and rational, like the kind of cool head who would say "Shoot [Charlton Heston] with a .44 bulldog."
And "plantation"? Society rewards you with extraordinary wealth and fame, and all the doors that opens, but you're still a victim of discrimination?
Sometimes, Spike, race has nothing to do with it. Jerks come in all colors.

The Hollywood socialist elites are turning on each other. 'Bout time.
How about, if you want black faces in a war movie, why don't you make one? All the sniveling, whining and bitching in the world is not going to make people like you, and it damn sure ain't going to make you a sought- after person. They did this after the first Star Wars movie, and we got Lando Calrission as a result of Lucas's knuckling under. Big deal. You want to be liked, you want to be loved and accepted? Stop being a pain in the ass. Females in the Army whined about how they weren't being accepted and "one of the boys". I frequently reminded them that if they stopped telling us they were women and did their jobs, uh, the SAME jobs we did, the SAME way, maybe we might be inclined. Such as in, "Well, I'm a girl/woman/female, and I can't do that, so would you mind doing it for me?" So, Spike, you want to be loved and respected? Be a man and do shut up and go make your movie the way you think it should look. You've lost money on practically every other movie you've made, so why not another one? PS: The Non-Coms who taught me to be a kick-ass sergeant were black, and the way they did it was, they led by EXAMPLE. Semper Paratus.
Ol' Spike hasn't figured out a) that the military was segregated during WWII and black soldiers weren't assigned to combat. Sad commentary on the times, but nevertheless true. They were in labor battalions and support orgs.
Even Dorey Miller, who was eventually awarded the Navy Cross, when as a messman, manned an anti-aircraft gun and shot down some Jap Zeroes at Pearl Harbor was still a messman when he died when the Luscombe Bay was sunk. Not nice, not just, but true. We can't change what happened because we don't like it nearly seventy years later. We can lie about it, but we can't change it. Same for the Redball Express, brave men, did a great and dangerous job, were not assigned to combat, though they suffered severe losses. b) he also hasn't figured out that he just made it known that he thinks blacks truly are inferior. Else why would he try to cling to the victimhood of slavery that ended 143 years ago, unless he believed blacks cannot rise above that shameful chapter and succeed unless they are granted dispensations out of misplaced white guilt?
I would be furious if someone presuming to speak for me or my people said I couldn't make it in today's world because of the Trail of Tears, or the rape of Germany after WWI.
Methinks Spike doth sound like an angry, hysterical and fearful man
right there.
So what is the "Obama Highroad"?
I see Lucas is making a movie about the Red Tails--from a comment he's apparently going to perpetuate the "no bombers lost" myth. Even leaving that aside, though, there's no doubt the 332nd put up a hell of a show.

God how I hated that attitude when I was in the Navy. It was worse then, because they weren't allowed on combatant ships yet. So men in my rate had a 5 year sea/18 month shore rotation, while women had a 3 year sea/4 year shore rotation.
At least now, most of the women I deal with are smart enough to avoid jobs that require more physical strength than they have. I just wish some of the out of shape men did the same thing.
As for the original topic of this post, I honestly don't have nearly as much issue with people like Connery and Gibson being anti-gun. They weren't born in America, so it's inevitable that they'll be more leftist. Schwarzenegger pisses me off a little more, since he is at least holding office.
It's all the others that were born in this country, and still work so hard to throw away their rights, and steal mine, that really piss me off.
At least the anti-gun people I work with are just opposed to having guns themselves. They're just fine with people like me having them, and actually recognize that any gun laws only affect people like me, and not the criminals.
It's good to work with engineers. Even the most liberal one still recognizes fact and logic.
Oldsmoblogger, no myth. However when several of those old pilots were interviewed, the interviewer mentioned that they had never lost a bomber.
They immediately spoke up and said "that's ridiculous, we never lost one to enemy aircraft, there wasn't anything we could do about flak, or mechanical failure, or midair collisions between friendlies, we just didn't lose any to German fighters."
Which is true. And as attributable to their different tactics as to their skill or dedication. Which those pilots also freely admitted.
