Real World Address
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished
Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.
— Van der Leun

He was not funny at all. Gross.
Rest in peace, Mr. Lewis.
All of France is in mourning over Lewis. Did he own a white flag company?
He certainly wasn’t funny. Well, maybe in a “Peewee Herman” sort of way he was…..
I used to go with my older brother to the movie theater and watch 50 cent double features every Friday night as a kid. Jerry Lewis had quite a few of them out, and we found one of them so funny that we went back 3 nights in a row. First time for that.
Genuinely sad to see his passing. RIP.
I’ve seen him in his non-funny role playing and it wasn’t nice.
Quite the asshole actually, and his type of humor wasn’t to my liking.
I do though, as a child, remember seeing him in a movie titled “Way, Way Out” from the back window of a station wagon at the Silver Springs Drive-In theater on the Mechanicsville Pike (Rahal Country!).
He raised a lot of money for kids. That was nice.
I didn’t care for his movies. Shrug.
Had a lot of respect for the man. He had the right attitude about life, tried hard to contribute to society, and did a lot of the time. Only had a couple of wives; practically monogamous for Hollywood. Saw enough M&L on early TV to know I could never learn to appreciate his comedy or acting. Never saw a movie with him in it.
I prefer to remember him by his later Youtube videos.
What a dick.

If all of us could only be that righteous.
