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.

The all-night movie marathon at the Ferguson 10-Plex:
Selma
12 Years a Slave
Django Unchained

$7.79 is the discounted rate? What blue shithole does this guy live in?
-
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. :rotf:

Translation: Thank God I could get to see it when the theater wasn't filled with people of color. :-)

Oh yeah, those were very creepy.
Now, look up the audio of LBJ ordering pants. That is downright funny.

"Like riding a wire fence."
Classy.

I also find the fact that he belches at least once very loudly amusing. Amongst many things in that audio clip.

"Martyred"? For what cause? By whom? :stoner: Is it Conspiracy Theory time? :stoner:
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 :loser: !

That right there tells you exactly what the blacks mean to liberals......votes.
When civil rights came home to Boston, all hell broke loose.

What I was thinking.
What a bargain.
Why didn't he take at least 10 homeless with him to "spread the wealth" ?

That must mean raccoons can talk, fly spaceships and fire really big guns. It must be true. I saw Guardians of the Galaxy.

27. He has a great place in my heart because of his concern with his bung hole.
Coinkydink?

Question: In Selma (the movie) did they mention that George Wallace and Bull Connor (along with most of the segregationist power structure) were both Democrats? Or that MLK was a Republican? Or that, despite LBJ pushing it, The Civil Rights Act of 1964 had more Republican support than Democrat?

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.

A legacy of which I am sure they are quite proud.
I just read an article about that very topic...

The Media Research Center is doing a lot of research to combat the forces of the owebumaManiaMedia.
