Few people in American life stood astride these issues and identified them with such clarity.
This speech was delivered to Harvard Law, the alma mater of Barack Obama.
Gob bless him...I made a few deliveries to his house in Beverly Hills where he had a sandbox for his grandchildren. In that sandbox stood the staff that he used in the “Ten Commandments”.
Wow..Go forth and do.
I miss Mr. Heston already.
Thanks for posting. Great speech from a man who held great principles.
A TRUE American HERO.

We’ve lost another good one. I think I’ll go watch Omega Man in his honor.
LOL....reminds me of my hometown, where Jimmy Stewart displayed his Oscar...in the front window of his dad's hardware store.
Thanks for the post!
I’m sure that despicable communist wench Randi Rhodes is rejoicing at the death of Mr. Heston.
God bless you Mr. Heston, all true Americans will dearly miss you.
As Heston said once about Bill Clinton: “America doesn’t trust you with our 21-year-old daughters, and we sure, Lord, don’t trust you with our guns!”
bttt
I am running for Congress is 2012. I will be hated and reviled in Washington for being a Patriot and saying and doing what must be done. I have a friend running for Senate this year doing the same thing. My staff will probably also dislike my 14 hour days and staying at my office when others will leave for recess. It’s going to be some hard years coming our way. We had all best remember we are all America Patriots first and gay, white, black, straight, married, etc. second. No more PC bullcrap! I am already feeling the pain but as Mr. Heston talked about Jesus, Ghandi, Dr. King. They were all willing to die on behalf of freedom and the brotherhood of man. We must all adopt this attitude and fix our nation and quick, because the whole world hates America and after our internal struggle, we can expect a worldwide struggle. Our Speakeasy, loose forefathers of the Roaring Twenties fondly were remembered as the Greatest Generation when WWII wound down. Let’s remember that human nature always stays the same. We need not lie down in defeat.
That speech was one of the best in history. I read it awhile ago, and it’s always a pleasure to see it again.
One of the greatest lines every uttered in American politics.
I think this speech by Mr. Heston merits a Moral Absolutes ping.
And one for the ‘Public Education’ ping list.
The public education list is held by Amelia, SoftballmominVA, and gabz. You can ping any one of them for that list.
Potential Public Education ping?
This list is for intellectual discussion of articles and issues related to public education (including charter schools) from the preschool to university level. Items more appropriately placed on the “Naughty Teacher” list, “Another reason to Homeschool” list, or of a general public-school-bashing nature will not be pinged.
If you would like to be on or off this list, please freepmail Amelia, Gabz, Shag377, or SoftballMominVa
