Richard Dreyfuss seems on his way to becoming a Hollywood pariah.

Some liberal Jews have begun to notice that Obama hates Israel and may even understand that he absolutely HATES Jews.

He’s worth $55 million. Perhaps he feels he doesn’t need the work anymore and can say what he really thinks.

Maybe, just maybe, he saved his money and don't need the roles anymore.

Precisely. Anyone with one eye and a grain of sense can see by the way Obama has treated Israel and Netanyahu that he hates Jews.

Dreyfuss, while he has remained a lib, has been somewhat rational for years. I don't think what he is saying now is anything new. He has been pushing for better civics instruction for years. Good on him for that at least.

Now, he just needs to tie me a sheepshank.

Kids who grow up in a spiritual void may drift to ideological thuggery because we let go of its most powerful enemy, the mobility of mind that comes from Enlightenment values.

Actor Richard Dreyfuss wrote this? Something that makes sense? That's not logical or possible - - someone must have had a gun to his head...

He has founded the Dreyfuss Civics Initiative. He is working to bring civics instruction back into the schools. I've always advocated that, although I'm not sure what twisted view of the Constitution today's union teachers would actually teach.

Dreyfuss has for years been interested in “teaching.” Not enough to get a teaching degree but he is fascinated by teachers and that profession. Perhaps, like the wonderful Ron Silver - he has seen the light. I hope.

When I read one of his article a few years ago I too thought it must just be a conservative writer who shares his name.

At some point liberals will either have to see the light or side with muslims. There is no middle ground in Islam. The sooner they do, the better for us all.

I would imagine it’s harder for lifers like him to come around than many simply because they have a long life that they must internally reconcile has having been wrong/mistaken. Rarely one does. But with 60% of the country clinically insane, it would be 100,000 years before the rate of conversion benefited anyone enough to matter. And we are long, long gone before then.

As long as he is for teaching civics realistically as to how government truly works rather than how textbooks like to pretend how it works, good.

And a robust Thomas Sowell-based course on economics added to the mix is even better.

From the comments section after the article: Indiana Mike -

Dreyfuss is most likely just scared of the Monster he helped create. As soon as the people he despises (Midwestern and Southern men) minimize the threat to him personally, Dreyfuss will happily return to again despising them. Dreyfuss and Spielberg are smarter than most Hollywood trash like Clooney, Damon, Affleck or Harrellson, so their actions are MUCH more evil. They remind me of Albert Speer; promoting evil with the full knowledge of what that evil entails.

Indiana Mike - So Dreyfuss has finally gotten scared that his 40 year effort to Liberalize and Socialize (except for HIS money) the Country is really working. Seems he has discovered that as a Jew, he and his family are teetering on the knife's edge and those Progressive Students he promoted have no morale aversion to actually KILLING him. So now he demonstrates a "foxhole conversion". YOUR judgement and YOUR actions created the type of people of which YOU are now so justly terrified, Mr. Dreyfuss!

**************

Indiana Mike may be on to something . . .

[snip] We have eviscerated our children’s education and unconsciously treat them as people we hate, denying them any excellence or agility of mind. Western kids are reportedly trying to join ISIS; why? Perhaps because the only spiritual movement being discussed in public, however ugly its ideology, is extremist Islam. Judeo-Christian spirituality seems pallid and disconnected; certainly Americans are no longer learning the secular faith of the Constitution, the musculature of republican democracy, its values of individual worth, its religious tolerance, its embrace of opportunity and merit.
