Back off! There's nothing puerile or unamerican about Rod Serling. He was a paratrooper in WW II who earned a purple heart and a bronze star. As far as I'm concerned he set the bar for television scifi back before anyone else even realized what was possible.

Yeah, I know, you've seen it all before... but Serling was there first. Further, he wrote and awful lot of those shows himself. Modern televison's scifi stands on his shoulders.

Sterling led the way, and he was as All American as they come. You leave Rod Serling alone. p>

During one of SCIFI's holiday marathons, we introduced our 16-year old son to the Twilight Zone. He LOVED them! We TIVO'd the best of the best.

It was sheer bliss to watch his face at the end of "To Serve Man." He nearly fell off the sofa!

These are classics. I wish the schools would show them as examples of good SF tales without the flash of modern FX.

Rod Serling, John Kerry, Oliver Stone, Jack Muthra, they all won metals
in the end, they turned into Benedict Arnolds !

Cultural Terrorism, begins with Rod Serling and that sleazy writer of his, Charles Beaumont .

Rod Serling is the first of Television Cultural Barbarians
He also wrote that anti-American movie Seven Days In May, by that other well-poisoner John Frankenhiemer !

Just because you fight in some war, does not mean you love your country .

So you fight and kill strangers because you were sent by the goverment to do so - back in WW2, they did not have the option to say no !
(FDR draft was reinstated in 1938)

Does that give these men the right to poison our well ?

NO ! ! !

Liberals and Lefties(here and abroad), fought with America in WW2,
but did they fight for America ?

By the way, Rod Serling ripped off Alfred Hitchcock's far superior ALFRED HITCHCOCK: PRESENTS
(like that Night Gallery episode of Miracle of San Camefeo)

Rod Serling had more in common with Charlie Chaplin than with Audie Murhpy . .

And that is my judgement on all Liberals, of that past 100 years !
