Charlton Heston - American Hero

Charlton Heston was a true American hero. He believed that our nation's diversity was the reason for its high murder rate, not the guns used in the murders. That just makes perfect sense to me. Shooting another human doesn't kill people, attending a Kyrgyz film festival does.

Heston stalked school shootings, holding NRA meetings in the same cities and towns soon after the tragedies. That is just so admirable. It's easy to claim that guns are used for killing children right after children are murdered with guns. Any coward can do that. It takes balls to spit in the face of the victims' families and claim that guns are good right after they've lost their innocent loved ones.

Charlton Heston preached the holy Commandment of: "Thou shall not kill (without a semi-automatic weapon)." Who should know the Commandments better than Heston, who played Moses in a movie. As a Jew, I'm frankly thrilled that Heston of all people played one of our most famous. It does not fill me with rage at all. I definitely don't have an inclination to pee on his grave.

They say that only the good die young. Charlton Heston died at the age of 84. After he passed on, a nurse grabbed the guns out of his cold dead hands and put 5 in that damn dirty ape’s cold dead face.
