... and I found it amazing how his views had changed from his early to his latter days. It was almost as if Vidyadhar Gadgil had morphed into Rajan Parrikar (if something like this is at all possible). Please read what he had to say in latter times (of course, I think he's just playing a rhetorical game):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston_Heston In a 1997 speech, he deplored a culture war he said was being conducted by a generation of media, educators, entertainers, and politicians against: "...the God fearing, law-abiding, Caucasian, middle- class Protestant-or even worse, evangelical Christian, Midwestern or Southern- or even worse, rural, apparently straight-or even worse, admitted heterosexuals, gun-owning-or even worse, NRA-card-carrying, average working stiff-or even worse, male working stiff-because, not only don't you count, you are a down-right obstacle to social progress. Your voice deserves a lower decibel level, your opinion is less enlightened, your media access is insignificant, and frankly, mister, you need to wake up, wise up, and learn a little something from your new-America and until you do, would you mind shutting up?"
