    I don't know what you're thinking about, your link isn't valid.

    Everything I have ever heard about him was better than your average Hollywood type ....

    That was a bad thing to say and at least He did apologize. He had other faults also and He hated all Presidents I think so not just Trump. Not sure that misspeak should define His life and make Him a total piece of filth. Loved that movie as a kid!

    I agree 2wheels' .... Everyone let's their emotions run wild at times. We can't condemn a person for something they said in the heat of the moment and latter regretted.

    Wyatt/Blade will ride on through history.

    I think if you go back tough time he has not been the best example of
    a patriot all the time. His sister and he seem to have there heads in the same place
    when it comes to our country.
    He got away with saying just dumb shit because of Easy Rider.

    And let us not forget.....in addition to the above, he also advocated that protestors invade the homes of ICE agents and drag them forcibly into the street to be beaten to death.


    No, while I am old enough to remember the Peter Fonda of the Easy Rider days, I am also wise enough to remember that he came from the same place as Hanoi Jane.....and that for the past great number of years he has been nothing more than a worthless ass and a disappointment.

    This one hit has-been also said Sarah Huckabee Sanders' kids should be kidnapped. You say stupid, irrational things when you're young, we all do, but with age SHOULD come wisdom, however, that was not the case here. I guess the insecurity of being known for just one movie, and nothing else, for 50 years wears thin plus your sister is a Vietcong loving whore you want to be known for something else, anything. Well, he will ever be associated with advocating abducting little kids and having them thrown in a cell full of pedophiles. Somehow, being a has-been actor for the last 49 years, with a Vietcong loving whore sister, doesn't seem so bad. He carved his own millstone.

    I got this from a buddy of mine. (I don't know where he found it).

    As I came out of the supermarket that sunny day, pushing my cart of groceries towards my car, I saw an old man with the hood of his car up and a lady sitting inside the car, with the door open. The old man was looking at the engine. I put my groceries away in my car, and continued to watch the old gentleman from about twenty five feet away.

    I saw a young man in his early twenties with a grocery bag in his arm walking towards the old man. The old gentleman saw him coming too, and took a few steps towards him. I saw the old gentleman point to his open hood and say something.
    The young man put his grocery bag into what looked like a brand new Cadillac Escalade. He then turned back to the old man. I heard him yell at the old gentleman saying:'You shouldn't even be allowed to drive a car at your age.' And then with a wave of his hand, he got in his car and peeled rubber out of the parking lot.
    I saw the old gentleman pull out his handkerchief, and mop his brow as he went back to his car and again looked at the engine. He then went to his wife and spoke with her; he appeared to tell her it would be okay. I had seen enough, and I approached the old man.
    He saw me coming and stood straight, and as I got near him I said, 'Looks like you're having a problem.'
    He smiled sheepishly, and quietly nodded his head. I looked under the hood myself, and knew that whatever the problem was, it was beyond me. Looking around, I saw a gas station up the road, and I told the old man that I would be right back.
    I drove to the station and went inside. I saw three attendants working on cars. I approached one of them, and related the problem the old man had with his car. I offered to pay them if they could follow me back down and help him.
    The old man had pushed the heavy car under the shade of a tree and appeared to be comforting his wife. When he saw us he straightened up and thanked me for my help. As the mechanics diagnosed the problem (overheated engine), I spoke with the old gentleman.
    When I shook hands with him earlier, he had noticed my Marine Corps ring and had commented about it, telling me that he had been a Marine too. I nodded and asked the usual question, 'What outfit did you serve with?'
    He said that he served with the first Marine Division at Guadalcanal, Pelieliu, and Okinawa . He had hit three of the worst ones, and retired from the Corps after the war was over. As we talked we heard the car engine come on and saw the mechanics lower the hood. They came over to us as the old man reached for his wallet, but was stopped by me. I told him I would just put the bill on my AAA card.
    He still reached for the wallet and handed me a card that I assumed had his name and address on it, and I stuck it in my pocket. We all shook hands all around again, and I said my goodbye's to his wife.
    I then told the two mechanics that I would follow them back up to the station. Once at the station, I told them that they had interrupted their own jobs to come along with me and help the old man. I said I wanted to pay for the help, but they refused to charge me. One of them pulled out a card from his pocket, looking exactly like the card the old man had given to me. Both of the men told me then that they were Marine Corps Reserves. Once again we shook hands all around and as I was leaving, one of them told me I should look at the card the old man had given to me. I said I would and drove off.
    For some reason I had gone about two blocks, when I pulled over and took the card out of my pocket and looked at it for a long, long time.
    The name of the old gentleman was on the card in golden leaf and under his name was written: 'Congressional Medal of Honor Society.'
    I sat there motionless, looking at the card and reading it over and over. I looked up from the card and smiled to no one but myself and marveled that on this day, four Marines had all come together because one of us needed help. He was an old man all right, but it felt good to have stood next to greatness and courage, and an honor to have been in his presence.
    Remember, as we approach another Memorial Day, OLD men like him gave you, and all of us, FREEDOM for America ..
    Thanks to those who served and still serve, and to all of those who supported them, and who continue to support them.
    America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war. America is at the Mall.
    If you don't stand behind our troops, PLEASE feel free to stand in front of them! Remember, Freedom isn't Free. Thousands have paid the price, so that you can enjoy what you have today.
    LET'S DO THIS: JUST 19 WORDS:
    GOD OUR FATHER, WALK THROUGH MY HOUSE AND TAKE AWAY ALL MY WORRIES; AND PLEASE WATCH OVER AND HEAL MY FAMILY; AND PLEASE PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS, AND WATCH OVER OUR TROOPS, WHO ARE DEFENDING THOSE FREEDOMS. AMEN
    This prayer is so powerful.


    Ride safe and thank a Vet.
