Paint It Black

I see a red door and I want it painted black

oh so it really is the Santa Barbara International Film Festival ....any black films playing I wonder...any black actors being honored I wonder?

American Flags draped on buildings is against the flag code

Flag Code: The flag should not be used as "wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery", or for covering a speaker's desk, draping a platform, or for any decoration in general


black..that's an interesting word....blacklist....blacklisted...there wasa time when the film industry joined  Sen Joe McCarthy's witchhunt for commies in the film biz..actually held hearings to ask actors if they've ever read Karl Marx...this was in the 1950s and if you were suspected of being a communist, they blacklsited you and killed your career in film..producer writer director actor..whatever...

the Screen Actor's Guild (SAG), which included Ronald Reagan, sided with Joe McCarthy for a time...destroyed some lives because of cold war paranoia...

now the Screen Actors Guild was a union of sorts...but it was a lame one...Reagan was twice elected as President of the Screen Actors Guild, the labor union for actors, where he worked to root out Communist influence.  now how did Reagan work to "root out Communism"....one thing he did was become a snitch for the FBI...giving names of actors within the motion picture industry he believed were communist sympathizers...Reagan was snitch for Sen Joe McCarty and J Edgar Hoover, two of the sickest-minded Americans in history!!

Prayer in schools and a moment of silence

In 1981, Reagan became the first president to propose a constitutional amendment on school prayer. The school prayer had previously been banned by the supreme court in 1962, and Reagan's election reflected an opposition to the courts decision. Reagan's 1981 proposed amendment stated: "Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to prohibit individual or group prayer in public schools or other public institutions. No person shall be required by the United States or by any state to participate in prayer." In a message to Congress, Reagan said that his proposed amendment would "restore the simple freedom of our citizens to offer prayer in public schools and institutions." In a nationally televised speech the following day, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson lauded Reagan's speech and said the moment of silence would "ensure that children grow up to be decent and upright." In 1984, Reagan again raised the issue, asking Congress "why can't [the] freedom to acknowledge God be enjoyed again by children in every schoolroom across this land?" In 1985, Reagan expressed his disappointment that the Supreme Court ruling still bans a moment of silence for public-school, and said he had "an uphill battle." In 1987 Reagan again renewed his call for Congress to support voluntary prayer in schools and end "the expulsion of God from America's classrooms. During his term in office, Reagan campaigned vigorously to restore prayer to the schools, first as a moment of prayer and later as a Moment of Silence.

just check the Constitution, Ron

ok...so Ronald Reagan was a pretty strange guy...Red Scare, joining forces with J Edgar Hoover, a cross dresser, and Joe MCarthy an alcoholic whacked out Bircher whose has been reincarnated as Ted Cruz....

 

take a close look at the picture of Reagan riding a horse with an unknown fellow...his lover perhaps? the English saddle, the gay boots, the capri pants....it's a side of Reagan that needs to be exposed
many of these anti-liberal-Hollywood sentiments still exist among conservatives...we see more blow-em-up films and less black actors...more fluff and less real acting...less art...more propaganda

so is the film industry getting lazy? pandering to teenage girls and white old conservatives like Wendy and Fox News....

is Wendy in the closet with J Edgar Hoover....is this why she has a monument to President Reagan...the evidence is clear Wendy McCuckoo has used tactics that Edgar would tactics used to smear her enemies...and her fixation with Reagan has turned the News-Press into a Christian rag...

Reagan pushed for gov't sanctioned prayer in public schools? I thought he said he was for less gov't in our lives? or is that only when it fits their agenda...

so in reality, the Reagan Ranch Center on lower State Street is a place where lost conservatives worship their dead idol, Ronald Reagan...here they seek solace from the black man in the Whitehouse

their world is a still-life of a dead president, easy money.... and dead dreams
