Star Member DemocratSinceBirth (48,075 posts) Just saw "Selma"Random observations -Thank God for the early matinee. I see about two movies a week and it's a lot easier to sate my desire at $7.79 a show. -Dr. King was a great man, not a perfect man but a great one. - The martyred Kennedy brothers, Dr. King, and Muhammad Ali were my heroes when I was thirteen years old and they still are now. -LBJ gets treated a little rough in the movie. He certainly was more forward looking than all but a handful of southerners during that era. - In LBJ's defense presidents aren't autocrats. They have to work within a system that was designed to thwart fundamental change if not make it very difficult. And leaders in democratic countries have to keep their eye on the next election, lest they lose to the very people who are trying to thwart them right now. I think that gets lost on some. -The movie does redeem LBJ a bit at the end. They show him in a discussion with George Wallace and LBJ asks him to think of how history will treat him. Wallace basically says he doesn't give a rip about history. LBJ answers that he cares and "I don't want to go down in history with the likes of you."
LBJ was a total piece of crap. He the reason for a lot of the problems today.http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026064196
History? More like revisionist history from what I have read about Selma. One person pointed out that Selma was LBJ's suggestion for the purpose of creating an incident. He was looking for a legacy. As an aside, every time I think of LBJ I cannot help think of his official biographer Doris Kern Goodwin. LBJ was as randy a dude as JFK and I would imagine Doris had more than a little Johnson Juice, sweet young single impressionable thing that she was.

I remember listening of the tapes of him talking to Jackie K. Industrial strength creepy right there.
"Like riding a wire fence."Classy.
- The martyred Kennedy brothers, Dr. King, ... were my heroes when I was thirteen years old and they still are now.
"Martyred"? For what cause? By whom? Is it Conspiracy Theory time? The Kennedy brothers whose philandering was an intrinsic part of their lifestyle? The Kennedy brothers who sicced the FBI on MLK and had him bugged? The Kennedy brothers who couldn't see which way the wind was blowing on Civil Rights when even the N-word using LBJ could?What a !
$7.79 is the discounted rate? What blue shithole does this guy live in?
I just saw Signs. Aliens are real.
That must mean raccoons can talk, fly spaceships and fire really big guns. It must be true. I saw Guardians of the Galaxy.

Response to upaloopa (Reply #1)Fri Jan 9, 2015, 07:18 PMStar Member Kablooie (10,810 posts) 27. He has a great place in my heart because of his concern with his bung hole.
After LBJ left the WH with his tail between his legs, he returned to his ranch on the Pedernales and proceeded to drink and smoke himself to death. He died of a heart attack, his 4th, in Jan. 1973.
IIRC, it wasn't long after President Truman finally died.
Within a month,I remember seeing the funerals on the old Philco TV.LBJs legacy was the corruption of the democrat party and its complete take over by the marxist sympathizers.
