Republican?


Is the Novel Republican?
It has heavy republican connotations.

reply

The novel or the movie? I didn't see many specifically Republican connotations of either, but the character Paul Kersey wasn't. His work colleague obviously was: "put them in concentration camps, Paul you're such a bleeding heart", "we need more cops than people". The character Paul we know was a conscientious objector. Now obviously he changed after the attack and went crazy and became a vigilante. However he doesn't change into a Republican.
The director Michael Winner was British and a Tory originally, however to switched to Labor to support Blair.
Charles Bronson himself never mentioned politics, however we do know that he changed his name from Buchowsky because he was scared under McCarthy to be thought a Communist. And this film was done during Watergate, so they wanted distance from that evil party. In any case if they knew what the Republican party had become they'd have distanced themselves even further from it.

A stronger case can be made that Clint Eastwood is, however he didn't like blank and said he wanted Bloomberg.

Yeah, it must be republican to get upset at people assaulting your family and the law doing nothing about it. The left/democrats , of course, would give the rapists a medal of honor and a statue and demand they have a national holiday on their behalf.

Yes, we call that the "George Floyd Program for Honoring American Heros"

How little the media thinks of the black community--George Floyd is held up as a saint while millions of black men and women go to work every day, provide for their families, and never have the urge to pass counterfeit money while high on dope. But the only "hero" the media can find is a man of exceptionally low character.

reply


Not just the media, but all leftists. They don't realize just how racist they are down deep. They don't think blacks can act civilly with police, purchase a home with a down payment we saved for, or manage to acquire an ID for voting purposes, or pay our mortgages or rent on time, or ... - at least not without their beneficence.

reply

It's almost as if leftists are just trying to get their slaves back.

The Dems think they own us right now -

Just imagine a republican saying something like that...

No, not necessarily. Back in the 70s, Democrats were actually *strongly for* law and order and maybe a bit of street justice when the legal system failed to protect innocent people. It's only really been in the last decade that Dems have moved so far left as to actually call for the defunding of police. If you told a Democrat back then (I used to be one in the 70s and was always strongly for law and order) that any elected official would call for defunding police today, they'd be incredulous.

reply

The Democrats were attacked on law and order in the 60s.

?

It's a movie about a man who loses his family due to a brutal crime and he uses vigilante tactics on criminals.

It's a Batman story with guns.

reply

You're a joke and not a good one

reply

No. In the novel, Paul Benjamin (they changed the name for the movie), is a secular Jew who believes in all the liberal causes: socialized medicine, welfare, regulation of business, etc. etc. and he continues to believe in these things, he just had a road-to-Damascus conversion on the issue of crime. In the novel, when he goes out to Arizona, he notes that the area is heavily conservative, and he still feels contempt for their views on most social issues -- contempt is the exact word -- but he just finds himself now in agreement with conservatives on the issue of crime and criminals.

reply

He supports leftist ideas and policies until one of them affects him, then he sees common sense. If socialized medicine destroys his health care insurance, welfare losers ruin his neighborhood, or he is regulated out of business, the scales will fall from his eyes on those issues, too. In the meantime, like a good Democrat, he will insist others live according to his liberal beliefs, as long as they don't affect him.
