Oscar winner, soldier, NRA hero, and American legend Charlton Heston died Saturday at the too young age of 84. Like his friend and ally Reagan, he suffered Alzheimers in his twilight years.
Reuters quotes Steven Gaydos, executive editor of Variety Magazine, saying what we all know is so ... "They don't make them like that any more." It goes to show how he was beloved even by those who didn't share his point of view.
"Political correctness is tyranny with a happy face." - Charlton Heston
Heston swaggered through life as man's man; he didn't take any crap or suffer any fools. A President of the NRA and activist in the Civil Rights movement, he always stood for liberty and fiercely loved America. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2003
Charlton once famously said you could have his guns when you pried them from his "cold, dead fingers." Forgive me for contradicting, but I doubt they can take them from you even now. Rest in Peace.
