Even a Academy Awarded actor, no less.....

Gee, is he done acting, or what?

DREYFUSS: I have withdrawn from partisan politics. I am a constitutionalist who believes that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights must be central and the parties must be peripheral. What's most important for me is what you just mentioned haphazardly, we are over 30. Civics has not been taught in the American public school system since 1970. And that means everyone in Congress never studied the constitution and the bill of rights as you and I might have.

And that is a critical flaw because it's why we were admired and respected for so long, it gives us our national identity, it tells the world who we are and why we are who we are, and without a frame that gives us values that stand behind the bill of rights, we're just floating in the air and our sectors of society are not connected.

What's really important is that the assumptions of the left and the right are all skewed wrong. We have t find areas of agreement and areas that we share. And we do share the notion that education accomplishes certain things. One, it turns students into citizens. And, two, it teaches students how to run the country before it's their turn to run the country. And, three, it teaches the values of this nation.

People come from all over the world or are born into this nation without the values that we have here. That's why they came here, to get them. And what are they? You can put them in opportunity, rise by merit, mobility, and freedom. That's what we sell. And if you don't want that, you've chosen the wrong place. And you don't get a pass by being born here, you have to learn it. Even the Ten Commandments are not known at birth. You must learn them. And we must learn our values and if we don't, we are fatally, fatally wounding ourselves. We will not have any way to really combat the ideas behind ISIS because we won't know our own. And we have to.

Too little, too late. His career is basically over so it's easy for him to play the role of black sheep now. Hollywood, like universities and national media, have choosen their team and you're f'd if you go against them.

Really, it was utter nonsense then?

I guess we will have to wait and see the reaction he gets.
Be it scorn, shunning, or minimizing, like you did.

This explains why no matter how perfectly something demonstrates the librul position is nothing but an illusion it is walked past as if it didn't exist.
That anyone can read that and just Say it's nothing is proof that they only see what suits them.
