Robert Redford: ‘I Feel Out of Place in the Country I Was Born Into’

"Our civil servants have failed us," he said in a statement.

______

Robert Redford may be done acting, but he’s not riding off into the sunset anytime soon. The actor, filmmaker, and Sundance Film Festival founder published “A Brief Statement About Big Things” on the Sundance Institute’s website yesterday, writing that he feels “out of place in the country I was born into” for the first time he can remember and that he has “watched with sadness as our civil servants have failed us.”

The overtly political speech was published the same day that Brett Kavanaugh’s ascension to the Supreme Court following a nasty confirmation process that once again emphasized how bitterly divided the country has become. Neither Kavanaugh nor anyone else is mentioned by name, but Redford citing “bigotry, mean-spiritedness, and mockery as the now-normal tools of the trade” suggests his anger probably isn’t directed at Amy Klobuchar.

So, let me get this straight:

Bob’s a good lib, who is old enough to remember the Red Scare, Assassinations, Vietnam, Watergate, etcetera.

But NOW he feels out of place because of failed civil servants? Come on, cut it out.

“Out of place” for 30 years and age and relevancy just kicked him in the head and cause a disturbance inside the vacuum.

So do I, Mr. Redford. My neighbourhood is predominantly foreign-born Hispanic now. With a good smattering of Muslims, Africans, meth heads, and native-born ferals. Things aren’t looking like they looked in the 60s and 70s, that’s for sure.

Not overrated but he sure couldn't swim. LOL

BUTCH: Kid, the next time I saw let’s go some place like Bolivia, let’s go some place like Bolivia.

SUNDANCE: Next time. Ready?

BUTCH: (Suddenly inspired) No. We’ll jump!

SUNDANCE: Like hell we will!

BUTCH: No, it’ll be okay – if the water’s deep enough and we don’t get squished to death. They’ll never follow us. SUNDANCE: How do you know?

BUTCH: Would you make a jump like that, you didn’t have to? SUNDANCE: I have to and I’m not gonna.

BUTCH: But we got to. Otherwise we’re dead. They’re just gonna have to go back down the same way they come. Come on.

SUNDANCE: Just one clear shot, that’s all I want.

BUTCH: Come on.

SUNDANCE: Unh-uh.

BUTCH: We got to.

SUNDANCE: Nope! Get away from me.

BUTCH: Why?

SUNDANCE: I wanna fight ‘em!

BUTCH: They’re kill us!

SUNDANCE: Maybe.

BUTCH: You wanna die?

SUNDANCE: Do you?

BUTCH: All right. (Unbuckling his gunbelt) I’ll jump first.

SUNDANCE: Nope.

BUTCH: Then you jump first.

SUNDANCE: (Hoarsely) No I said!

BUTCH: What’s a matter with you?

SUNDANCE: (Yelling, embarrassed) I CAN’T SWIM!

BUTCH: (stares in disbelief, then laughs uproariously) Why you crazy? The fall’ll probably kill ya!

SUNDANCE: Ohhhhh… (grabs the other end of Butch’s gunbelt and they jump) ohhh… shiiiiiit!

I have repeatedly told my wife the very same thing, that I feel like I am literally living in a foreign country (having grown up in one, I know exactly how it feels).

But he was ok with politicians like Obama, Hillary, bill biden, gore, yeah he was ok with them. There are so many utopian countries that they would love and would be welcomed into but these mentally ill cretans stay here and try to change this country

citing “bigotry, mean-spiritedness, and mockery as the now-normal tools of the trade”

This guy is sad the Soviet style propaganda show trial failed to quash Kavanaugh’s appointment. The Hollywood propaganda machine is losing it’s ability to sell BS as Truth. The Actors and Actressess squeal in pain.

Trump beats them daily, he fights, endlessly it seems, to break the grip of the Swamp Deep State Commies have on the country.

Butch Cassidy: Wait a minute - you didn't see Lefors out there did you?

Sundance Kid: Lefors? No, why?

Butch Cassidy: Thank God for that. For a moment there I thought we were in trouble.

Robert Redford: ‘I Feel Out of Place in the Country I Was Born Into’ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I’ll take Clint Eastwood over Redford any day.

Redford indicates he is wearing pampers and whining continuously while Clint Eastwood is starring in a film now being completed.

Go figure Redford. Read the Constitution and stop hanging with your whiny leftists weirdos who read only the MSM and have been Chicken Little convinced for decades that the sky is falling tomorrow if liberal fascists are not running America.

In our rescue of America and its institutions, Hollywood or Leftist television networks do not matter as much any more, including Redford. They are being left in the dust of a free people in the passing lane.

The People are back. There will not be a leftist Utopia.No more “Brave New World.” Time to celebrate.

The Red wave is building into a tsunami.

The simple-minded atheist fool.

Of course, I’m sure his criticism’s are directed at Republicans, however unjustly so.

He despised the Bush family, so he’s not all wrong. But, the problem arises when he so adamantly aligns with the Marxist Democrat party. Nobody should be very surprised at his fondness for organized atheism that communism/
Marxism is. Despite his earlier-in-life claims that he didn’t believe in organized religion, he now fully supports the organized atheism.

So, perhaps, Robert Redford “should” feel out of place in the country he was born into. We, the USA, are going to win this battle against Satan. I suspect he would feel much more at home in Cuba or China. Perhaps he could assist in harvesting the organs of the Falun Gong or he could make a documentary on how beneficial the dead baby pills are. Considering China kills 23+ million annually, Robert could be in his glory with all the subject matter.

Ya just gotta note the atheists’ despisal of anything morally sound. They act like killing mass murderers is the end of the world all the while they consider ethically good the mass killing of innocent defenseless little boys and girls to the tune of 1.3 per second, albeit executed by their own mothers. I suppose this is the “bigotry” exemplified by the Kavanaugh appointment, the possibility of a ProLife decision or two. Of course the pantywaist didn’t dare come out and say it, explicitly, because he’s been feminized far too long. A little tongue-in-cheek commentary is all it could muster up.
