Ben Stein Reminds Young Conservatives To Be Thankful for America
| Quote: | Stein pointed to movie stars of the past such as James Stewart, Clark Gable, and Charlton Heston-- who all fought in World War II before beginning their acting careers. Yet very few, if any, current American idols are willing to fight in Iraq.
“How many of today’s incredibly buff, muscular, well-toned, super-healthy muscle men stars do you think volunteer to fight terrorists in any part whatsoever” Stein asked a group of 200 students. He considers American soldiers to be the real stars.
“The real stars are wearing body armor on top of their battle dress uniforms in 130 degree heat and they do not have stunt doubles to come in for them when the going gets rough and the bullets and the shrapnel start flying,” said Ben. “They are the real stars, fighting terrorism and trying to free a nation.” |

| Everytime I hear another comment from Ben Stein my admiration for him grows. He would certainly have a bright opportunity in the political arena should he ever decide to take the plunge. |

If I'm ever on 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire', he's gonna be my phone-a-friend. 
I think he must have written all the Trivia Pursuit questions.
