Jane Fonda & the War Against the West

The List: Top 10 Jane Fonda mistakes

John Haydon, The Washington Tiimes, December 23, 2012

While she has earned rave reviews and two Academy Awards in her acting career, Jane Fonda, who turned 75 on Dec. 21, is the first to admit she has made some big mistakes in her life. Miss Fonda has written that her three failed marriages were efforts to resolve her relationship with her father. She says all three men dominated her, much as her cold father, Henry Fonda, did. “Until age sixty I never had enough self-confidence to feel validated unless I was with a man,” she wrote in her memoirs. This week The List looks at Miss Fonda’s 10 biggest mistakes. ...

2. “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” — This 1969 film starring Miss Fonda is about a dance marathon set in the Great Depression and must be one of the most depressing films you will ever see. If you have suicidal tendencies, stay away from this film. Gig Young, who won an Academy Award for his role in the film, committed suicide in 1978 after shooting and killing his wife of three weeks. ...

     Although I agreed that our Vietnam involvement was a mistake, not the fault or our brave troops, "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" came at the end of that decade when the Cultural Marxist war on the West had really begun in earnest. Just like such films as the 1970 "Little Big Man" showed whites to be somewhere between devils and idiots, and "American Indians--yes, obviously, they got a raw deal--to be unfailingly wise and saintly, "Shoot Horses" was aimed at capitalism. Of course Capitalism has its faults, as we see today only too clearly, as capitalists, in the name of utopian multicultural globalist consumerism, merrily go about destroying the United States and Western civilization. 

     By the way, the Depression Era dance marathons were not really depicted accurately, at least according to one couple I knew who were dancers in them. They said that the people who monitored those events were less like monsters and more like concerned dance "chaperones." Of course the participants danced until they were ready to drop. That was how the things were set up. Not recommending it, just noting the Hollywood Left propaganda aspect. 

     Now you see such propaganda in almost all films, the core of it being the endless pushing of an ethnic-racial moral hierarchy, which usually makes an exception for the staring white protagonist and significant other--because Hollywood knows who still buys most tickets--but then places at the tippy-top the all-wise and/or brave and/or saintly minority character, after which the hierarchy plunges down and down, bottoming out with the predictable white evildoers.  

     I will say this for Jane Fonda. Most people who are young and naive about the world do not have the fame, fortune and world stage to broadcast their bubbleheadedness, with side-fins and flashing lights, to everyone across the globe. Also, although who knows how much the later statements might have been due to canny calculations of autobiographical marketing or movie career resetting, many people, unlike Fonda, never admit to their mistakes.
