Jon Voight wants you to know that the only way to end the tyranny in America is to vote Trump



Good luck making it all the way through this one without your head exploding. My favorite part is the bit about how under Hillary you won't be able to have a difference of opinion, and that's a shame, because that freedom is what makes America America.

Probably the most talented celeb of any kind they have. But he's rabidly crazy and right wing as hell.

But look at the body of work from Voight. Deliverance, Midnight Cowboy, Odessa File, Runaway Train, Heat. He can act the heck out of a role, carry the film. Their usual winger "stars" are Hestons, Schwarzeneggers, Eastwoods, who are given notable leading roles and can't act worth crap. And there's almost always some skeivey propaganda angle to those other guys' roles.

I haven't seen anything like Voight since Jimmy Stewart. Every movie he was on the side of good, but his politics were Mr. Potter's.

They can't lead us in a warm, heartfelt, protestant christian prayer any more. Tyranny!!

There are a lot of "what if's". Me - I am looking for property on the Canadian border. Not to run, but for logistical reasons - I have some pals up north. If the "south" wants to rise again, I am their huckleberry. The "south" is everywhere. You have a good weekend.

Cheers!

socialist courts? Excellent news. She gets my vote.

I like Voight's acting generally, and as Joe Buck in Midnight Cowboy particularly. He's an actor, a pretty good one, IMO, and one of the striking things to this clip is that it reminds me how poor a speaker Trump is, Giuliani is, Kristina Pierson is, and so on through the gaggle of ghouls and fools comprising the Trump campaign and Trump surrogates.

Voight can talk.

Now if he could only think.

The economy is in the dumps?

I always find it ironic that their idea of freedom is their right to subjugate others.

And always with this Hillary will repeal the 2nd amendment crap. Subjecting gun purchases to a background investigation only denies criminals the right to purchase one. What are they worried about?

Unless ...

I went to the YouTube page, and my God, the whole thread is made up of his fan club of buffoon supporters. Wonder if I'll be taken down. What a clown. Fox-shill.

What tyranny is that? I'm starting to believe the "parallel universes" theory. It's the only way I can explain this bizarre election season.

tune:



"Everybody's talking 'bout me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the wackos in my mind.

People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the terror of their eyes.

I'm going where the sun ain't shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the idiots got no brains.

Banking off the right-wing winds,
Sailing on a insane breeze,
And skipping over facts just like a stone......

(MOST sincere apologies to Harry Nilsson!)
