If all “Conservatives” were as loathsome as Jimmy Stewart was as a human being, this would be a sorry world indeed.

Please explain the reasoning behind your comment. Perhaps you are confusing Jimmy Stewart with some other actor; I’ve always thought Jimmy Stewart was a saint on many levels, and I’ve never read or heard anything to suggest otherwise.

You really need to get educated on the truth about Stewart. He was NOT what the left tries to say he was. James Stewart was a patriotic American who left Hollywood to become a pilot over Europe. He was a Colonel who flew B-24 Liberator bomber

Stewart was a staunch conservative, a friend and supporter of Ronald Reagan (and a frequent White House guest during his presidency), who also actively backed Richard Nixon (if he can be called a conservative) and Barry Goldwater. Like Goldwater, he served, as a brigadier general, in the Air Force Reserve.

For his war service, among his many honors, he received the Distinguished Flying Cross. One of his sons, Ronald, a Marine officer, was killed in action in Vietnam in 1969. Stewart was awarded the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by President Reagan in 1985.

During WWII, Jimmy became a colonel who flew bombing missions over Europe. He already a big star who had already done films like “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and “The Philadelphia Story” when he joined the Army Air Corps.

Stewart was a conservative Republican long before being a Republican was cool. When other big stars were supporting the likes of socialist like Roosevelt, Truman and others, Stewart supported politicians who believed in America's greatness.

His close and personal friend of Henry Fonda, but they agreed to disagree in politics and never discussed them because they disagreed so vehemently when Jimmy tried to convince Henry about who the Democrats really were. I am convinced that if Fonda were alive today he would become a Republican while apologizing to his good friend Jimmy for being so blind about who the Democrats were.

The charities he supported with his money have been responsible for helping many things we take for granted today. Like most great honorable men, he never tooted his own horn. He did what was right and went on without bragging like all the leftists Hollywood stars who were doing things for show. Jimmy Stewart was a great American, and I would have been proud to have known him.

You need to get educated and as i said, quit listening to the communists who despise him and his American values.
