Charlton Heston: October 4, 1924-April 5, 2008


The Heston family issued the following statement:
"To his loving friends, colleagues and fans, we appreciate your heartfelt prayers and support. Charlton Heston was seen by the world as larger than life. He was known for his chiseled jaw, broad shoulders and resonating voice, and, of course, for the roles he played. Indeed, he committed himself to every role with passion, and pursued every cause with unmatched enthusiasm and integrity.

We knew him as an adoring husband, a kind and devoted father, and a gentle grandfather, with an infectious sense of humor. He served these far greater roles with tremendous faith, courage and dignity. He loved deeply, and he was deeply loved.

No one could ask for a fuller life than his. No man could have given more to his family, to his profession, and to his country. In his own words, "I have lived such a wonderful life! I've lived enough for two people."

I wouldn't normally post such a disgusting comment except to illustrate what passes for liberal sensitivity and compassion.

Heston made liberals' lives hell. For that alone he will have my eternal gratitude. Take time to read his biography,though. Do you realize that Heston used to be a gun control liberal?

Just listen to this: "Pop!" I've uncorked another one. The closest I'll get to firing a weapon. What a merry day! To better times!

Another snapshot of how putrid the liberal soul, or what passes for it, can be. Rejoicing over the death of someone who disagrees with you politically reveals your lack of character, compassion and courage, grasshopper.

I will say a prayer for you tonight. May you find a soul, a therapist who will help you manage your anger and bitterness as well as a 12-step program to help you overcome your addiction.
