Posts from Wayne001 in thread „Liberty Valance was a liberal??“

    Well, some here think that I have some sort of hidden agenda which is to cause trouble on the message board. The reason why I posted my message was to get a mature, honest and fair minded opinions and my sole intention was not to start a frenzy.

    In response to the member who stated, “I associate with all kinds of people, and have dated liberals myself. They are fun, but they do not influence me in my political, religious, and personal beliefs.” Well I am glad that have not let the heathens influence you. There are many can be persuaded to believe the wrong crooked ideas of the far left. I say this about liberals they very good manipulators and they can draw many their side because many people who not educated about can fall their for the liberal trap.

    As to liberals being fun I imagine that in stellar activities they are doing drugs, consuming large amounts of alcohol per day is what they do best. Just ask “Robin Williams”. Another fun aspect about liberals is their indulgence in promiscuity and Former President Bill Clinton can testify to that himself. Oh, that’s right he did testify on the witness stand and got off scot free. Liberals are evil people as they have no honorable qualities just dishonorable ones.

    Rock Hudson is one who I can tolerate. In his hay day he processed all the good qualities of American male. He kept his lifestyle to himself and had no desire to display it before witness to make a political point. Rock Hudson was also a good Republican and supported conservatives ideas of the party all throughout his life. When the rise of the gay movement started in the late 60’s and early 70’s he felt that it was wrong for people of his kind to flaunt their lifestyle publically or demanded equal treatment. So it is hard to image that he was gay. From what I read about Rock Hudson I gather that he was sort of ashamed of his lifestyle and probably wished he had been straight as does many people in America wished he was.

    Well, Stumpy I agree with totally about this. Maybe Lee Marvin felt the same way as you do. "If you read Lee's mini-biography on the Imdb website, there's also mention of his [liberal] views concerning homosexuality."[QUOTE] Are to believe everything that Imdb or any other site says about. I remain skeptical about what I read. I reasearch before I believe it.

    Those who have responded to my tread I wonder if you all have read the link. I must admit that I am surprised by the laid back attitude about this topic with Lee Marvin. I thought people would respond with disappointment because they were not aware of this about Lee Marvin or other dismiss this as a bunch of nonsense. Don't get me wrong I am not trying to stir up trouble on the message board, but my intention is only to make sense of of I just learned last week. When I read the article and the subject of gay rights I came with that he libertarian on this issue. He did not specifically say that he supported their cause but felt what two adults did in their private was none of his business. There are those who would say to the contrary. It is a matter of one's own interpretation. Who ever wrote that Lee Marvin was for gay rights interpreted as such from reading the Playboy issue. “Wikipedia” is really not a creditable source of information on someone or something. I refuse to believe Lee Marvin was a true liberal but he was not as conservative as John Wayne was.

    Last, Thursday I looked up Lee Marvin on Wikipedia and to my very surpise it stated that he was a liberal Democrat who opposed the Vietnam War and was the first in Hollywood to support gay rights. Man, I was just blown away by this. Lee Marvin a WW 2 Marine would be liberal. I had always assumed Lee Marvin was a conservative like John Wayne.

    The part about the gay rights came from interview he did with playboy in 1969. I looked it up on line and was lucky someone had to view. I read the whole article and came away with mixed views. I am posting the link for people here to view. I am anxious to what reactions I will recieve.
