And American Pickers - a show with a skank and two numb nuts searching for oil cans in people's barns who have mental illness hoarding problems.

Actor R. Lee Ermey, who died at 74 of pneumonia Sunday morning, was Exhibit A in the New Hollywood Blacklist. After criticizing Barack Obama in 2010, Ermey’s thriving film career dried up. Even after apologizing, he was ostracized, fired by GEICO insurance and never did another commercial. After disappearing completely for a few years, he managed to appear in a couple of reality shows in the last few years of his life. Iconic and talented, Ermey was a walking-talking example of left-wing Hollywood’s intolerance toward those they condemn as thought criminals.
Ermey, who was known to his friends as “Gunny,” enlisted in the Marines in 1961 when he was only 17, and spent 14 months in Vietnam before earning a honorable discharge after 11 years of service.
Ermey’s career exploded in 1987 with Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket where Ermey was unforgettable (to say the least) as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, a drill instructor who pushes a recruit (Vincent D’ Onfrio) too far.
Ermey was only supposed to be a technical advisor for Kubrick, but he asked for an audition and not only nailed the role, the famously finicky and precise director went so far as to allow Ermey to improvise.
Ermey says he voted for Barack Obama in 2008, but in 2010 he was blacklisted in Hollywood (no one disputes this) for souring on and then publicly criticizing the president. Over his personal political opinion, he was also fired as a commercial spokesman for GEICO insurance.
Ermey is survived by his wife of 43 years, Nila, who he referred to as “Mrs. Gunny.” They had four children.
Ermey is also survived by a second-to-none performance in Full Metal Jacket that will be remembered long after the fascist monsters who blacklisted him are worm food.

and buffet loves “insurance companies,” they provide him with huge amounts of cash-flow and known risks.
And they even occasionally get the Federal Government, to force everyone to buy their products and use the IRS to enforce it, at the barrel of gun.
(let us not all forget... the SCOTUS ACA decision still stands, Trump can choose to not enforce one tiny bit of it, but it’s still a precedent setting decision, and we haven’t seen the last of it. The Feds still control “healthcare,’ make no mistake.)
Yes...I will watch it.
Give me one Gunny Ermey over any thousand Homowood cretins every single time.
“Ermey says he voted for Barack Obama in 2008, “
This can’t be true. No REAL marine would have voted for that scumbag contents.
Oh! Those wonderful, tolerant, inclusive Lefties. /sarc
I hate them, I hate them so much the leftist commie trash that wrecked our country and wrecked our lives.
What film was that?
May they find out what it’s like to lose their livelihood over expressing a SEDITIOUS and TREASONOUS thought. Which they currently do every day with impunity. I dream of a day we can go back through all of the recorded media and pick out the nasty, vicious, anti-American things they say and DESTROY them with it. [No One Escapes]
You know, I have to agree.
And that includes the GOP Establishment working with the Democrats in the Uniparty.

Thanks, I never saw it.
Thanks!

I’ll ping the list in case anyone is interested.
It has some cheesy parts to be sure. But, given that most of the world doesn’t know this stuff is coming, well, here it is.
Of course, Scripture always is the final word on the subject.
Ah we both found it! Yeah, had to pull the ping list so I was slow.
There is no person on earth more intolerant than a leftist screaming for tolerance.
Remember the amazing scene in Jaws where the old Scottish-American fisherman describes in harrowing detail the plight of the men in the water after the sinking of the USS Indianapolis..?
You know, how they got EATEN by sharks over the course of 3 days..?
"A shark has dead eyes, like a doll...I pushed over my buddy in his lifering, and there he was --no legs. He'd been bitten in half..."
John Milius, a rare right-thinking Hollywood guy, wrote all that.
He was once almost as big a name as Steven Speilberg, etc.
AND THEN he wrote, "Red Dawn". He was so enthusiastic about the project that he paid for the whole film.
Hollywood couldn't brook someone warning America about the Soviets; they totally destroyed him. NO ONE would pick up his scripts or do any project they knew would carry his name in the credits.
The only way he could later afford tuition for his law school son was that one of his former colleagues took mercy and simply GAVE him the money.
He was destroyed.
REMEMBER THAT next time the Hollywood commies start whining for the millionth time about the Committee on Un-American Activities, and how they are all such persecuted HEROES.
