Once the STUDIO SYSTEM collapsed and the damned lefties took over, then it was they who have and still attempt to cut out the GOP-Conservative actors, actresses, directors, etc.! They kept Elia Kazan from getting an Oscar for decades!
Cruz hasn't done ANYTHING at all for the Conservative Movement, except to claim that he is one, whilst voting for TPA, the Corker Bill, going to the border with Glenn Beck to "WELCOME" the damned ILLEGAL ALIENS, etc., belies his "conservative" claims.
No, Ted doesn't believe that he is running as god, but he believes that he is running as "ANOINTED BY GOD" and is "THE FACE OF GOD"; neither of which things mean that he's worth a hill of beans. OTOH, he is NOT eligible to be president!
see Alan Ryskind’s book “Reds in Hollywood” or a similar title. His father Morrie led the fight in the Screenwriters Guild against the Communists and was partially successful.
The blacklist of anti-communists long preceded the blacklisting of Communists. Just a historical fact.
Unfortunately Kirk Douglas, a hardcore liberal, helped to break the industry’s blacklist by helping Dalton Trumbo get credit for Spartacus (which Douglas starred in).
I think today, in his final years, he has begun to regret what he did. It was just a little noticed comment he made late last year or early this year about Russian aggression in the Ukraine that caught my attention. Unfortunately I have no idea where I saw it unless it was in the Wash. Post’s Style section where anti-communism has been banned for decades.
Re Cruz. At least give him credit for believing in God. On the Left, you don’t hear that from Hillary or Bernie or the covert Indian Fauxchohantus Warren.
By the way, Cruz took Trump to the cleaners today in his condemnation remarks about the ISIS-claimed attack in Brussels. Donald didn’t do too badly but he just can’t express himself the way Cruz does. Something to work on, The Donald.
