Charleton Heston is getting a stamp.
The United States Postal Service has announced that former NRA President Charlton Heston will be honored with his own stamp. The stamp is part of their “Legends of Hollywood” series, and while the specific issue date has not yet determined, it will be issued sometime in 2014.
Heston was a five term president of the National Rifle Association from 1998 to 2003. He was a tireless advocate for Second Amendment rights and will always be remembered by the NRA faithful for his “cold, dead hands” speech delivered at the 2000 NRA Annual Meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The speech was directed to then presidential candidate Al Gore.
“Mr. Gore,” Heston boomed with his baritone voice, “From my cold dead hands.” Then Heston hoisted the custom-made flintlock rifle high above his head.
Some good news for a change. Heston deserves this honor and his position on the second amendment.
There is an excellent tidbit of news on Instapundit about Joseph Kennedy II praising Maduro for giving selling cheap fuel to his charity organization, while the Venezuelan people are in full revolt. I suggest that you go to Instapundit and see what is posted there. I would the have sent this lead to you via email but it is not listed on the sidebar. Kennedy is such a liberal fool. Americans seem to be far more interested in Europe, Asia and the Middle East ………….. and, don’t really care about what goes on in South America.
Oh (or woe) for the Monroe Doctrine!
What a man. If there was such a thing as pop culture gods, he and Clint Eastwood would be the co-gods of manliness. I don’t typically have a kind view of actors who act like their political views should be given credence because of their star power, conservative or liberal, but Heston really knew what he was talking about.
