And if left-wing Hollyweirder Griffith were still around, he would’ve campaigned for the Butcheress of Benghazi to the hilt.
Yeah. The original Yellow Dog Democrat.
It’s a shame that Andy Griffith never learned anything from Andy Taylor’s down to earth, small town persona.
Who could watch “A Face In The Crowd” and think he was a conservative?
Lonesome Rhodes was the REAL Andy Griffith.
Griffith and Ronny Howard’s lefty “real” life make it hard for me to watch a show I loved growing up.
To me, they Dixie Chicked themselves before the Dixie Chicks were a name.
I could ask the same about Salvage 1.
I couldn’t have said it any better...
Return to the 50s.....check
Jobs moved to Mexico....check
Bible.....check
That was just the first two paragraph
andy griffith was the greatest actor of all time, to so wonderfully play the part of a conservative small town sheriff masterfully, even though in real life he was a leftwing lunatic!
Personally, he was also as big an asshole as any! He actually stopped in at Mayberry Chrysler in Monroe once and demanded at threat of a lawsuit that they “CHANGE” the name of their business. Bob Mayberry responded that HE was a Mayberry long before andy stole the name and to hit the bricks!
Visited there for a bit this past Summer. Beautiful country at the Virginia NC line!
Good for Bob Mayberry.
Well, that explains the pervasive tourism of that town - they have no other employment, I guess. Sad. I did buy some Barney Christmas ornaments, though!
No, that was Arthur Godfrey.
The movie was Andy Griffith as Lonesome Roads.
Yes, written by Budd Schulberg and based on Arthur Godfrey.
I used to live right at the foot of “Mt Pilot” in Pinnacle, NC. Mt Airy was an agricultural, furniture and textile based economy best I could tell. The foreign competition killed them. It was kindof a depressing place. About all they had left was ag and milking the old Mayberry gig last I remember. I think there may have been 1 or 2 furniture mfg’s still running.
This article is as meaningful as one measuring San Francisco as the future home of Star Fleet Academy.
If I were from this town, I’d be embarrassed that its know as the hometown of Leftwing Obamacare shill Andy Griffith. Griffith destroyed any positive reputation that he had when he became an Obamacare spokesman. If he were still alive, I’d ask if he thinks all those middle class people in your home town can afford 100% premium increases that resulted from Obamacare? Did he even care?
