Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor Michael Moriarty recently endorsed fellow Law & Order star Fred Thompson for President of the United States.
During a telephone conversation with this writer, Moriarty said:
“Whoever does occupy the White House will not overturn Roe v. Wade, nor will he or she put the dictatorial Supreme Court in its place.
“However, I will personally vote for Mr. Fred Thompson and help his campaign as best I can, but I don’t believe his entrance into this campaign ever carried enough pro-life commitment to do the job that has to be done. In addition, since the Republican Party has been so corrupted by the Nixon/Kissinger years, such corruption is too profound for one Republican as President to overcome.
“Contained in the human rights paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, the one beginning ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident,’ are the very essential ingredients to the meaning of America. Anything that veers or attempts to deny the self-evident truths contained therein is to my mind un-American. Therefore the Clinton Democrats, better known as Progressives, and the Giuliani Republicans, Progressives incognito, both have, to my mind, become profoundly disloyal to the meaning of their own birthplace.
“As a Declarationist, I declare unequivocally that all men are created equal. They are not gestated as possible candidates for abortion. They are no more eligible for abortion than African Americans are automatically eligible for slavery.
“The fundamental rights contained in that human rights paragraph are ‘inalienable.’ Nothing a Progressive Clintonite can say or do will ever re-write the human rights paragraph of the Declaration of Independence. No dance that Rudolph Giuliani may want to perform around his ‘strict constructionist’ alibi for not really being pro-abortion, none of his high stepping can re-write his proven record as a pro-abortionist.”
...and it wasnt very nice either.
“Therefore the Clinton Democrats, better known as Progressives, and the Giuliani Republicans, Progressives incognito, both have, to my mind, become profoundly disloyal to the meaning of their own birthplace.”
Is this guy equating Trudy with the Clinton mafia? That going to make some RINO heads pop.
Sorry Michael. One more conservative justice on the SCOTUS and good chance Roe is history when the opportunity comes around.
ping!
Oh, he’s no more crazy than... say, Ted Nugent?
LOL!
Wow, I love this guy! I had no idea he was a fellow “Declarationist.” In fact, I didn’t even know I was one until I read the term in his statement. Go Michael!
I never knew anything about this guy, except cover stories on those stupid “newpapers” they sit out on the grocery store check-out line. If I recall, they were about his being a drunk, etc. I can see how those stories got there if he got Hollywood-types mad because he didn’t like Clinton. He’s right, especially about the Rooty/Hilary comparisons. The only difference between the two is that one is supposed to wear a dress and the other one just does it anyway.
From 1990 to 1994, Moriarty starred as Ben Stone on Law & Order. He left the show in 1994, alleging that his departure was a result of his threatening a lawsuit against then-Attorney General Janet Reno, who had cited Law & Order as offensively violent. Moriarty criticized Reno’s comment, and claimed that not only did she want to censor shows like Law and Order but also such fare as Murder, She Wrote. He later accused Law & Order executive producer Dick Wolf of not taking his concerns seriously, and claimed that Wolf and other network executives were “caving in” to Reno’s “demands” on the issue of TV violence. Moriarty published a full page advertisement in a Hollywood trade magazine, calling upon fellow artists to stand up with him against attempts to censor TV show content. He subsequently wrote and published The Gift of Stern Angels, his account of this time in his life. (Moriarty, Michael (1997). The Gift of Stern Angels. Exile Editions. ISBN 1-55096-183-7. )
It is true that Moriarity starred in ‘Law and Order’ in its early years. It is true that nearly a decade after Moriarity left the show Senator Thompson became a featured performer on the show. That is the sum total of their association. I doubt they ever met on the set.
