There are so few left -- and the new generation can't even come close.

RIP kind Mr. Heston.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

RIP Charleton Heston.  :bawl: I remember him from Ben-Hur, Ten Commendments, and Soyulent Green. He was truly a great actor. He was the American Idol.

A Touch of Evil is one of my favorites where he is in a supporting role as a Mexican policeman.

I love that scene in Ed Wood where both Ed and Orson Wells are complaining about their respective producers. :-)

Peace to you, sir and comfort to your family. 

Quote
In June 1998, Heston was elected president of the National Rifle Association, for which he had posed for ads holding a rifle. He delivered a jab at then-President Clinton, saying, "America doesn't trust you with our 21-year-old daughters, and we sure, Lord, don't trust you with our guns."
