‘Dukes of Hazzard’ star John Schneider explains why Hollywood won’t make patriotic films
The actor is starring in a new film titled ‘To Die For,’ which he said has been resonating with veterans feeling overlooked in America.


John Schneider refuses to back down.

The actor, who famously played Bo Duke in the hit sitcom “Dukes of Hazzard,” is starring in a new patriotic film titled “To Die For,” which was directed and produced independently without major studio backing.

The storyline follows reclusive veteran Quint North (Schneider), who takes a public stand for his personal freedoms after receiving a court order to keep his American flag-flying El Camino truck away from a local high school. The 62-year-old told Fox News Digital the film defends patriotism, freedom of speech and the American flag.

“I had been made aware of an article where a man had been put in jail because he refused to take the flag off the back of his truck,” said Schneider. “I read the article, and it said he had a restraining order against him, so he couldn’t drive within a certain distance from the [local] high school with the flag on his truck… [My wife and I] are big supporters of our military and our law enforcement. And I thought, now is the time to make a movie about this guy. I don’t know about you, but as I drive around the country, I see more and more people with the American flag flying from the back of… their pickup trucks.”

“I wanted to make a movie not about that individual guy, but that kind of guy who is willing to go to jail in order to continue to express his First Amendment right of free speech,” Schneider continued. “The second notion was this movie has got to come out before the midterm elections in 2022… so that it will urge people who are, for some reason, timid or quiet to speak their mind… No matter what, the movie had to come out on Oct. 20 to give enough lead time so that people could see it before voting in November.”

Schneider, a proud conservative and Trump supporter, shared that the film has already made a bold statement among viewers.

“A friend of mine said all the right people are aggravated,” he chuckled. “But all the right people are also encouraged and enthused and invigorated by it. So as we say in the car business, ‘It’s firing on all eight.’”

According to the star, “To Die For” was made with a crew of under 10 people over the last 10 months. He also never approached Hollywood directors with the script.

Urgent: Open Letter to A.G. Sessions

Dear A.G. Sessions:

I’m not too pleased with you or your department, Sir, and that is saying it nicer than I am thinking it. Far nicer. You see, I’m starting to feel like strong words are necessary. It comes from the sense of being betrayed. That’s right. Betrayed. Betrayed by you and your department.

Are you even remotely aware that while you and your department are doing whatever it is you are doing, you have “literally” left an entire portion of society vulnerable to an insane and volatile citizenry?

Have you paid any attention to the news or the pleas from people like me that have sought your help?

The Mueller investigation is dividing this country. The radical libs seem to think it is their excuse and permission to attack Trump and anyone even suspected of being a supporter. Trump supporters are accused of being Nazis, White Supremacists, homophobic, xenophobic, bigots, racists and anything else they come up with at any given moment.

Maybe you don’t think it is “that” serious. If so, you’re quite wrong. It is serious. It’s beyond serious. It has become dangerous enough to be lethal. Which leaves us with a very important question.

How many Trump supporters must be seriously hurt or die for the situation to finally get your attention?

Maxine Waters said something to the effect, “”If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. You push back on them. Tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere!”

What has been done about her promoting such harassment? After all, what she was calling for can readily lead to violence and I have no doubt she is well aware of that fact.

Kirstjen Nielsen was run out of a restaurant by a group that included Allison Hrabar – an employee of the DOJ.

What have you done to address such inappropriate behavior?

Protesters actually went to Secretary Nielsen’s home.

What have you done about that?

Sarah Sanders was asked to leave a restaurant because she works for President Trump. The family was then followed to another restaurant and shouted at.

What have you done about that?

The Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi was accosted at a theater.

What have you done about that?

Peter Fonda said that Barron should be yanked from his mom’s arms and put in a cage with pedophiles. He further stated they – whatever group he was encouraging – should surround schools of children of ICE agents and scare the ____ out of them.

What have you done about that?

Antifa physically attacks Trump supporters. They falsely claim that Trump supporters are Nazis, White Supremacist, fascists etc and that allegedly makes it okay.

What have you done about that?

Man attacks teen wearing ‘MAGA’ hat is a title that says it all about a recent attack on a kid.

What have you done about that?

A great deal of our media, and numerous politicians, have been guilty of propaganda that ranges from outright lies to sly innuendoes. All of which is wrongful information that is utilized to “incite” the masses of radical, out-of-control Trump haters into a false sense of righteousness and blinding rage.

What have you done about that?

Many people don’t dare wear anything that supports Trump for fear of “literally” being physically attacked.

What have you done about that?

Nothing. Nothing is the answer.

By allowing the Mueller witch hunt to go on, it feeds many of the radical libs’ claims that Trump is guilty of all kinds of things.

Did you know, for example, that numerous people in Trump’s campaign have been indicted for Russian collusion and obstruction? That’s what is being claimed by many. Doesn’t matter that it is not true. And it won’t matter, until Mueller is shut down and these radicals are given a big dose of truth that they can’t ignore.

The media may be covered by freedom of speech and freedom of press, but those two freedoms don’t equal “freedom to lie.” Likewise, politicians aren’t given some special freedom to lie outright or by innuendo. Like anyone else – they are guilty of slander/libel/defamation of character if they lie about someone or something. Add that some of the lies in present day life are inciting a sense that there is a right to respond with violence and/or destroying a person’s life – it’s way beyond time for something to be done to stop this madness.

Where are you?

If you would treat Antifa as the terrorist group it is and file charges – it would be a stunning shock to the group that has thus far been led to believe it has some special right to attack others and destroy property.

If you addressed (and charged) the professors that have encouraged students and others to become Antifa members – or act in such a fashion – for the crimes those students went on to commit – it would shock the world of academia and remind them that we aren’t a communist country, nor are we going to accept their attempt to push such a mindset on the youth in the United States of America.

There’s so much you and your department should be addressing, but you aren’t. It is as though you are totally oblivious to what is transpiring. It’s as though you are completely oblivious of how much the Mueller witch hunt, FBI and DOJ anti-Trump behavior and leaks have created and fed into the wrongful and vicious mindset of the Trump haters. That’s right. The attacks and violence rests at your doorstep and the doorstep of all agencies that have allowed lies to thrive and mutate.

You have the power – and obligation – to reign in the criminal behavior that has occurred and potentially will occur since the Trump haters have been given false cause and permission to hate him and his supporters.

Yes, you have the power and the obligation to stop the coup and reign in the movement of madness that has been set in motion.

What will you do?

The Birthing of Crazy Ideas & Misinformation

David GuthAfter the September Navy Yard shooting in DC that killed thirteen people, University of Kansas journalism professor (or associate professor), David Guth, posted the following comment on Twitter:

“The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you.”

Guth was put on administrative leave.

In the following days, I read that some of the staff from UK was defending Guth’s freedom of speech, though they didn’t necessarily agree with what he said.  I likewise agree on the concept of freedom of speech.  However, along with it — he also has the right and obligation to take the responsibility and consequences that come along with saying something so blatantly inappropriate.

Today, I learned that Guth would not be returning this semester and is scheduled for a leave in Spring of 2014.  I shed no tears.  Remember that this was a man teaching “journalism”.  The field that is supposed to investigate and report the truth to readers and viewers.  Yet, this man is blaming the NRA for what happened in the Navy Yard?  Apparently truth and accuracy passed over his head, in his bias against this particular organization.

The NRA (National Rifle Association) neither promotes nor defends gun violence.  So why they are being held accountable whenever a shooting occurs, I have no idea.  Well, maybe I do.  It’s most likely an attempt to turn the nation on them and diminish their influence in the battle of more gun control vs enforcing the laws already in existence.  It’s also possible that people aren’t paying attention and just coming up with crazy ideas from misinformation.  It doesn’t matter.

For a teacher, especially of journalism, to blame an organization that was no way involved in the tragic shooting that cost the lives of 13 people, is bad enough.  (So much for gathering the inconvenient little things called facts.)  But to then wish their children to be the ones killed next?  That’s way over the line and past inappropriate.

Shame on the NRA?  No, Mr. Guth — shame on you!  It’s the vile and cruel attitudes such as you presented that create hatred and intolerance.  It’s your type of attitude that gives birth to the crazy idea that it is okay to provide misinformation and say whatever — when dealing with a person, place, thing or concept not agreed with.  It leads to propaganda — not journalism.  It is hatred and cruelty all bundled up in supposed indignation to indoctrinate and create a generation of zombies.

The NRA did not influence the Navy Yard shootings, but attitudes and words such as Mr. Guth’s might have.
