Thank God an expert in the field has decided to weigh in on the whole American flag-Cinco de Mayo-Latino students feeling dissed-thing.
Kids who wear American Flag t-shirts on 5 May should have to share a lunchroom table with those who wear a hammer and sickle on 4 July.
— Roger Ebert via Tweetie
Since films in the countries that utilize the hammer and sickle philosophy are only greenlighted (and later promoted) with government approval, they wouldn’t have much need for film critics, would they Rog?
So that would mean that most, if not all, liberals/progressives would have to be marked with the hammer and sickle throughout the year. Maybe we can just stamp “moron”… I mean Marx on your foreheads.
The regressives are just homesick. How cute and pathetic. It is unfortunate that the Soviet Union collapsed and we are now forced to share this nation with history’s leftovers.
So, regressives, will you play the role of communist “elites”, their supporters, or the supremacists who classify people by their ethnicity, religious affiliation, or geographical origin? Will you too manipulate people’s lives through legislation and regulation, or just opt for the coercive path? Maybe a little intimidation? That’s always been a highly prized tactic of the lunatic left.
I don’t even get his logic there…sheesh
That statement is beyond stupid, but what do you expect from a man who has made a living pretending to be an expert in an art form he was a failure in. That faux arrogance translated into other areas, I guess.
I think Roger should talk to someone who actually experienced the original Soviet Union, or, at least, read THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO.
Yo, Roger – nobody’s in school on July 4th, you twit!
What a maroon/buffoon…
Igor
Check Roger’s closet, chances are good you will find several hammer-and-sickle shirts in there…
I know this will enrage the left…but physical and heartbreaking disability aside, a good chunk of the time, Roger’s opinions still suck…
And any leftist wearing a Che shirt should be bussed in and abandoned in the middle of Little Havana.
