Reagan was friends with everyone in Hollywood it seems. Lots of friends on the left, yet they really liked the man personally.
Lloyd Bridges was a “World Federalist” not a Communist. There is a difference. Keifer Sutherland’s mother and father, Donald Sutherland, are/were communists.
“I will never be able to figure out that paradox.”
It makes sense, really.
The answer is that communism (progressivism) is a lie, through and through. Every claim of communism is in fact the opposite of the truth.
The policies of progressivism accomplish the opposite of what they claim.
Karl Marx was apparently a satanist, so I wouldn’t expect anything else.
What? Are Republicans supposed to be fat? Adolph Menjou and Ginger Rogers were Republicans too.
Not likely. He was a decorated pilot that served in WW2 and Vietnam, rose to the rank of Brigadier General. Staunch Republican who supported Reagan. About the most leftist thing he did was call for support of LBJ's 1968 Gun Control Act. But then so did Charlton Heston. Heston of course later made up for this indiscretion by becoming President of the NRA and giving his famous 'from my cold dead hands' speech.
Wasn’t Marx an athetist?
Jimmy Stewart was a lifelong Republican as were many/most of the golden era Hollywood stars.
In several biographies, its mentioned that she registered as a Communist to please her grandfather (one said it was her grandmother, but her grandfather was the adventurous type) that she lived with after her father died. She apparently wasn’t involved in political activities and forgot about it until McCarthy started ferreting out the Hollywood Reds. She apparently convinced the McCarthy committee that her registration was just that.
Jimmy Stewart was an Air Force General as well. I am pretty sure I have some official photos of him by military photographers stashed somewhere. Pretty sure he retired in the early 60’s. That SAC movie was not far from the truth.
The Ox-Bow Incident is about an angry mob of vigilantes who capture and hang three men who end up being innocent.
Fonda's role in that movie is as the defender of due process.
His role in Twelve Angry Men is as the lone hold-out on a jury deciding whether or not to find a young man guilty of murder. He again is the voice of calm in an ocean of vengeance and retribution.
Both of these movies are excellent and Fonda plays the most American of roles in both - the man who stands for upholding the law and considering all of the facts presented and the rights of a murderer to get a fair trial.
In both of those movies, Honda defends the pursuit of truth and is vindicated.
There are still innocent men convicted in real life by the emotion of those seeking retribution.
If I’m not mistaken, Duke Wayne was friends with Henry Fonda.
Sorry, for misspelling Fonda as Honda.
Well, those are your interpretations, and you’re certainly entitled to them. I’m sure Henry, Jane, and Peter would share your interpretation. I simply don’t.
How does 12 Angry Men impugn decent Americans? Keep in mind that it was originally a TV drama that Fonda had nothing to do with. He simply produced and acted in the film version.
Your question potentially introduces a somewhat lengthy discussion, at the end of which I would conclude that “atheism” is in fact a tool of satanism.
But here’s more specific, though maybe not conclusive, evidence of Marx’s satanism in his writings:
“The hellish vapors rise and fill the brain,
Till I go mad and my heart is utterly changed.
See this sword? The prince of darkness sold it to me. -
For me beats the time and gives the signs.
Ever more boldly I play the dance of death.”
“With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world,
And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor.
Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world
And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator”

I would advise against reading much at all on this topic, because it should be shunned and rebuked. I post this only for the sake of seeking truth.
Glory to God, and may he have mercy on us all in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
That’s sounds more like inflated rhetoric more than anything else.
