Andy Griffith Has Died

We were not docile idiots! But, back then, we COULD believe what we were told - people told the truth, and considered other people's feelings before they spoke. And it didn't need to be "legislated" or PC-correct.

Children were taught by their parents that if they were lost or scared they could find a policeman to help them, and it was more than likely he'd be gentle and kind like "Sheriff Taylor".
Compare it to the police now, who all dress like The Terminator with morals to match.

Neighbors looked out for each other, and each other's kids. Youngsters could go out to play after breakfast, and other than checking in for a quick lunch (we always seemed to know when it was lunchtime) be gone until dusk, and parents knew they were safe.

I wish the World were more like "Mayberry" now. Back when we were growing up, it WAS like Mayberry. Sad that today's kids won't ever know the pleasure of a long, lazy summer afternoon, going down to the "swimmin' hole", or dropping by the drugstore for an ice cream soda or a root beer float.

Goodbye, Andy, we'll miss you. Maybe you saw what a crap-hole this World has become and decided that you just didn't want to be here anymore.

CNN now confirms it as well. CNN.com

They were just being drama queens as usual.

I hope he (Howard Morris) wasn't a bleeding heart democratic jewish. They give much the Jewish Race a bad name, as much as Chabad, and much Rabbi's, who haven't stopped jewish people from marrying Cousins and 2nd Cousins. Stop the practice of Rabbi's allowing jewish people to marry Immediate relatives. This must be stopped!


plus the following jewish people give jewish people a bad name:

1) Kapo jewish people (many work for USDOJ as Federal Judges and Federal Prosecutors)
2) Sell Out jewish people (many of #4 too!)
3) Non Stand Up jewish people (many of #1 too!)
4) Welfare Crap System Parasite Sucking jewish people (Many Hasidic/Russian/Religious jewish people)
5) Liar jewish people
6) Con/Fraud jewish people.


plus cousin marrying jewish people of 1st and 2nd cousin Marrying jewish people.
Give jewish people a bad name.

Same Socialigical Climate of Germany (1932->1945), now in Amerika especially in the Long Island/NY metro area.

I spent many hours watching him as Andy of Mayberry. Many great memories. He will be missed!

Does anyone remember the Hallmark special he was in, about an elderly black man who refused his Medal of Honor because of something that happened in his WWII service?

It was really interesting and dramatic, Andy Griffith was a guy who had been taught to shoot by this guy when he was a kid, then this old man was so bitter in his old age about WWII, that Andy Griffith researched and looked up the incident and found out it was German soldiers dressed in stolen American uniforms that had insulted him and shot him.

Also the elderly black guy had been a sharpshooter super marksman but only allowed to work as a cook by the Army.

I only saw it once but thought it was really good.

Very sorry to hear he is gone, he seemed like a real guy, people were different when I was a kid, much more substantial in their interactions it seems.

george lindsey died this year too;

So sad.

We'll miss him, along with Goober, who also passed away in May:

Fair thee well.

A very good human being.

can somebody please post Mayberry by Rascal Flatts? I can't get to it right now, and it would be so appropriate.

Andy Griffith had some interesting political views.

lib or conservative, The Andy Griffith Show iteself was one of the most important pieces of the 20th Century.

Symbolic of the horrors we are facing today, Mayberry really is gone, and the America that went with it.

Amen to that....

loved that show....When Family meant something....

Aunt Bee, Opie, Barney and Sherrif Andy was a simple time when people truly cared for one another.....

great ones are leaving this planet who is being flushed down the drain into a sewer...

may Andy Griffith RIP...

Checked in to see all the ugly comments here, and to my delight and surprise it appears EVERYBODY LOVES ANDY.... bravo GLP

I understand that "Gomer" isn't doing too well either. He always came to the Kentucky Derby to sing "My Old Kentucky Home" but this year they just played a recording of him singing and said he couldn't attend because of health reasons. Apparently he lives in Hawaii nowadays.

yes he has been a macadamia nut farmer for many years. I have his entire collection of hymns. I would recommend Jim Nabors Reader's Digest collection for anyone who appreciates one of the greatest voices in the WORLD. It has everything from The Holy City, to Rock-a-Bye My Baby (with a Dixie Melody.)

It was No Time for Sargeants on stage where Griffith met Don Knotts and performed with him for the first time.

Thanks grew up with show! Rip Andy.

He would come every year to the Indy 500 to sing "Back Home Again In Indiana". They had to play a recording of him singing that this year too.

Aww. Well he was one oldass motherfucker, so he had a good run!


:candleligh:

A true American.....

Knee to your face would be nice........

Andy Griffith died already...

We already know that! (why is there always one of these on line?)

The thread is about Andy Griffith!

RIP Griffith

Don't worry some smart Hollywood exec will probably launch a new series based on the Andy Griffith show. The "new" show will be called Mayberry and it will be a gang town with a high crime rate and crack houses with a tough new sherriff in town. The new Andy Taylor played by Stone Cold Steve Austin and Barney played by the Undertaker. Opps. I shouldn't give them any ideas.

very sad.rest in peace sir.

omg omg omg the jersey shore will never be the same without its lead cast member! DOOOOOOOOOOM

Yeah I see he was a liberal Democrat ,I didnt know he was ,he was a big supporter of obamacare also [link to firstread.msnbc.msn.com]
