America's Wild West Was Super Gay? Wut.

Original Article

Posted By: AltaD, 3/1/2022 2:36:17 PM

Western film icon Sam Elliot might be next on the regressive left’s list of “people to cancel this month” because he expressed some wrongthink about the American Wild West and gays. I know this sounds confusing. Let me explain. On a recent episode of Marc Maron’s podcast, Elliot made some scathing remarks about the film The Power of the Dog,(Snip) Elliot is of course trending on Twitter, with the usual woke suspects calling for his head because no one is allowed to say “Hey, not everything is gay,” or criticize a woman for trying to force gay stuff into a western.

Comments:

If you're offended by f-bombs, do not read Sam Elliott's comments.

Bear in mind Elliot is not a "conservative" in any way shape or form, he is solidly Liberal/libertarian. Earlier in the interview he trashes conservative Texas politics/politicians. While his family roots are originally from Texas, he was a Portland Oregon/Sacramento Ca kid. His part starts at 11:30...http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episode-1309-sam-elliott

Makes sense in a way. How many women who weren't married would venture out west a hundred and seventy or a hundred and sixty years ago. My bet, not many. The gold rush had something to do with that.

I agree with Sam Elliot! Gay was not acceptable in the 1800’s! It shouldn’t be today!

Actually watched this "movie" out of curiosity. On a scale of 1-5, I give it a 0.5. Didn't really like the plot, tempo, acting, or subject matter. Other than that, I was a "good" movie (s/o).

It's not just Westerns. Netflix's Vikings Vahalla went racial equity. Despite historical evidence, Kattigat is now ruled by a "black" female Jarl. No offense, but rewriting history is what authoritarians do. Dont be afraid of history. History is what history is. Learn from it. But get it right or don't do it. Jeesh, Hollywood has gone fubar.

Haven't watched the "The Power of the Dog" (almost typed the "Hair of the Dog"). Haven't missed it. Cumberbatch likes to do gay parts so I knew that was in the movie.

In the re-make of All Creatures there is a mixed race couple. In the mid-30's. in rural England. Don't think so. It was a stupid re-make of the original and I didn't watch the second season so I suppose they managed to get a homosexual couple in there somewhere also. ( to be clear, I have absolutely nothing against mixed race couples. It's just that it didn't happen the way it's being portrayed at that time in that place.)

As a part of the rewriting of American history, the LGBTQ community and lifestyle must be inserted and play a prominent part of every rewrite. It is a requirement. There are probably a required number of Black and other minority characters, some in prominent roles who must be written in. Historical accuracy be damned. Equity and diversity is more important to the story than accuracy. I bet the gay cowboys rode unicorns too!

The only flaming gay western figure in the real wild west was Billy Breckenridge in Tombstone Arizona being a real rough lawman during the Earp era and after. He was known to 'tug a rope' but the book about him is an interesting read. Not a fan of Sam Elliot so I'm not interested in his Hollywood tough guy persona responses.

In "Tombstone" there were two sommat Gay characters, "same sex attracted/attractive" characters, neither blatant, nor was that a major part of the story. The STORY was the story...in too many recent films/TV shows being GAY is "The Story" and everything else is just a "Setting" for it.

Sam Elliott had just finished filming 1883 when he made this interview. 1883 comes as close as any tv show/movie about the trials and tribulations pioneers went thru settling the west. The story is not sugar coated. I take some exception of the story line with Elsa but it is done for dramatic effect. (been thru a tornado and don't know anyone who kissed all the way thru it...) I think what he is saying, after all the westerns he's done, he now has true respect for the ranchers and their ranching families who have worked the land for generations. And, having made much of the show in the Ft Worth/Guthrie, Tx (6666 Ranch) Elliott has a new found respect for real cowboys and lack of respect for anyone doing a western in New Zealand.

In order to destroy the American culture, you have to destroy the old west. What quicker way to do that than to make it sound look like a Fire Island queebie party? No wonder I dont watch movies, and limit my TV to Bugs Bunny.

A senior foreign correspondent at CBS News apologized Saturday after he said on air that the war in Ukraine can’t be compared to those in Iraq and Afghanistan — because the Eastern European nation is more “civilized.” Correspondent Charlie D’Agata was reporting from Kyiv, Ukraine when he said Friday that Ukraine “isn’t a place, with all due respect, like Iraq or Afghanistan, that has seen conflict raging for decades. “This is a relatively civilized, relatively European — I have to choose those words carefully, too — city, where you wouldn’t expect that or hope that it’s going to happen,” he continued.

European Union foreign ministers have discussed banning Russia from the Swift payment network, which is pivotal for the smooth transaction of money worldwide. According to diplomatic sources, the move is being considered as part of further sanctions on Moscow following the invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine's president Volodymy Zelensky said an ban should be immediate to tighten the screw on Moscow. But several countries are reluctant to act.(Snip)Removing Russia would hurt companies that supply goods to and buy from Russia, particularly Germany. Russia is the European Union's main provider of oil and natural gas, and finding alternative supplies will not be easy.

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin took to Twitter Friday to mock Pope Francis' attempt to halt the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. "[A]s empty gestures go, impressive," the left-wing columnist tweeted, responding to NBC News reporter Richard Engle confirming a report that the pope had made an effort to sue for peace directly with Russia. In an unprecedented gesture, Francis visited the Russian embassy in Rome earlier on Friday to express his concern over the war. According to the Associated Press, officials at the Vatican said they knew of no previous initiative by the pope to end a conflict in such a way.

Craig Richardson, managing owner of Lincoln Park’s Batter and Berries, has followed the advice of experts throughout the ever-changing dynamics of the coronavirus pandemic. When the state initially shut everything down, he listened. (Snip) While the state is getting rid of its most recent indoor mask mandate — which has been in place since August — the city is also dropping a proof-of-vaccination requirement to get into restaurants, bars, gyms and some other businesses after less than two months in effect. Since the city will still allow individual businesses to implement their own rules, it’s probably best to keep a mask and vax card in your pocket.

Palo Alto, California, resident Brian Hamachek was looking over a government website listing payouts for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) last year. He immediately noted many businesses listed either didn't exist or greatly exaggerated their number of employees. He said he recognized fraud that an investigator in Washington would have no way of knowing, "such as, a restaurant that went out of business a couple of months before they got their loan, and they've never come back." Hamachek is a software engineer. He designed a website to help others identify PPP fraudsters. A user entering a state and town can see local businesses that got loans.

Ever since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the western public has been carpet bombed with the claim that Russian president Vladimir Putin is some sort of unhinged madman. This notion is being feverishly spread by the establishment and those in its pay: the political class, the media and the commentariat, career diplomats and technocrats as well as those connected to the security and intelligence communities. The most remarkable thing about the Mad Vlad claim is that it is obviously false. Whatever Vladimir Putin may be, he is certainly no irrational madman.
