The acrimony surrounding health care reform, stoked up to white hotness as the 2010 midterm elections draw nigh, seems to have claimed another victim, albeit an odd one: Andy Griffith, the long-living television and film star.

He was probably well-paid and does not care about his popularity anymore. He might be laughing all the way to the bank.

"He might be laughing all the way to the bank."

And walking over the bones of the seniors he duped on the way there.

Well it does show what a great actor he is as for many years he played a decent honorable person that loved America. Something he has never been personally.

Being from NC originally I always loved the man, now I hope he rots in h*ll forever.

If there was ever any doubt about his political ideology, just look at how his boy Opie turned out;)

What the left doesn't understand is that conservatives have values at the core of our being. That means we put principles over personalities and don't let ourselves be swayed by a slick-talking hustlers.

A bad idea is a bad idea no matter who says it.

Yeah, I hear he was up for the lead in the new Spider Man, and was first choice for Brad Pitt’s next role. Now it’s as if he’s just an old guy who hasn’t been in anything notable in years.

Were there any conservatives in Mayberry? Andy? Nope. Barney? Probably not. Howard? Wasn’t he a Gov bureaucrat? So nope. Andy’s girlfriend Helen? School teacher - not a chance she’s conservative. Don’t ask don’t tell Floyd? No way. Gomer? He at least joined the Marines so probably met conservatives like Sargent Carter. ;-) Goober? He did run his own business and didn’t work for the Gov like Andy, Barney and Howard so maybe he’s a conservative. So surprise, surprise... all those liberals in Mayberry and they were almost all white. But of course only a liberal would place people in groups and count them. Maybe that’s what Howard’s job was. ;-)

“Goober? He did run his own business and didn’t work for the Gov like Andy, Barney and Howard so maybe he’s a conservative.”

I always wondered why the Goober’s gas station was way out of the city. Now I know. The liberal’s in Mayberry didn’t want that Eeeeeeevvviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill OIL Magnate (Goober) to destroy their Utopian dream city! It all makes sense NOW!

Poor bitter Goober, out in “flyover land” clinging to his guns and religion. All the elites of Mayberry mocked him while they kept raising his taxes. ;-)

Please "lock" this thread so no one will go to the link and notice the "high speed rail poll" and alert a certain FReeper.

In an ironic twist, one of the polls confirms that a majority of voters feel passenger rail travel was faster in the 1940's than it is today.
