[Valin]

Ping.

[DManA]

Just a little too coincidental that he would choose this particular moment to make a move casting the LDS in a very negative light.

[alicewonders]

Good for Jon Voight - nice to see a few brains that are working in Hollywood.

[scratcher]

bttt

[RedCell]

Ping for later. Saw him in an interview a couple of weeks ago and was impressed with what he had to say.

[johnny7]

“ …there’s not much time to wait, if I’m going to say anything.”

That goes for all of us as well.

[Huck]

Another actor talking politics. Gag me.

[Valin]

Mountain Meadows Massacre ping

[Marysecretary]

Wow. Just wow!

[Fawn]

Wow...he described Bush and Cheney exactly how I see them.

~~~

HH: And what has impressed you the most about Bush in the six and a half years he’s been in?

JV: I think this strength of character, his fortitude. I think he sees, he understands things, and I think he’s, by the way, I think he’s extremely gracious. When you seem him introducing Nancy Pelosi, or meeting with other members of Congress who are, who have set themselves against him. He’s always a gracious figure, he always speaks kindly and nicely of people. He never stoops to name calling or any of that. But he holds the line. He knows what has to be done, and he stays with it. He doesn’t seem to…I mean, you have to have extraordinary strength of character, I would say, but you know, to take the blows that he has taken in office, you have to have an extra reserve of strength, and he has it. It was one of the kids in Walter Reed said, and he was one of the fellows who said I’m not going back, I won’t go back. And almost everyone else to the man said I want to go back and be with my buddies, and if I can’t do the things on the field because of my injuries, they’ll find a place for me, and I’m very grateful for that. I’m going back, Jon. This fellow said no, I don’t think I’m going to go back. That’s it for me. I said well, what do you think about our President? And he said he is strong. This guy is a strong guy, Jon.

HH: What about the Vice President? You also refer to Cheney in this Radar interview.

JV: Well, I referred to an aspect that was, that people very little know, we see a certain kind of face on Dick Cheney. And people make jokes, and try to demean this fellow, but he’s got a great dignity, he’s very bright. And also, he’s very sensitive. He goes to Walter Reed every six weeks, and goes to every room. And when I see, when somebody talked about…people review a speech as if they would review a movie or something like that. They said well, his tie was this way, and he was looking around at this point, and I saw at the State of the Union, Dick Cheney’s face, and I know what he’s carrying in terms of the responsibility and his caring for this country and for those guys, too, and that’s what I see in his face.

[DesScorp]

It's amazing how 9/11 really opened the eyes of some people that had previously been primarily leftists. Christopher Hitchens. Dennis Miller. Gene Simmons. Ron Silver. Frank Miller.

However, there's always going to be the Useful Idiots that want to help our enemies.

[Unknown Pundit]

I listened to Hugh’s show last night and heard the entire interview. Voight came across as a really good and thoughtful man. Kudos to him a Hugh.

[b9]

I heard most of this interview yesterday ~ fantastic.

Voight skewers the ACLU, warns of non military enemy tactics polluting American society, and many other ‘conservative rebel’ notions.

He praises Bush, religion, prayer, children, Pygmies and is well-read and thoughtful.

[Gritty]

Very interesting interview.

[Tolik]

Interesting!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.  

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

People can “read into” this whatever they want... but what I read was a man who saw what we see in our President and Vice President, and in our troops! He see’s HERO’s as do we!

It was a great read.

Thanks for posting this!

The President, Vp and troops deserve to have the truth get out there. People who are high profile are the only way to get it out there.

Truly, I didn’t see much fault in the story.

Goodnight...
