ALSO TOTALLY CONSERVATIVE: THOSE DELICIOUS BALLPARK FRANKS.
You knew it was coming -- from John Boot at PJ Media:
5 Core Conservative Values in the New Jackie Robinson Biopic 42
Among these:
2) There’s no substitute for a strong, loving nuclear family.
Demonstrated thus:
Robinson never knew his own father, who left his mother and her five children when Jackie was still a baby. In 42, when he gets the good news that the Brooklyn Dodgers want to give him a shot at being the first black player in the major leagues (in reality, there were some black players in the early days of baseball back in the 1880s), Jackie phones up his girlfriend Rachel (Nicole Beharie) and asks her to marry him right away. Later in the film, Jackie is seen cuddling his newborn son Jackie Jr. and telling him, “I’m going to be with you till the day I die.” Robinson, who along with Rachel raised two other children as well, was as good as his word, remaining a family man until his too-early death at age 53.
I'd like to see an extended version, in which scenes of Robinson eating prove the conservative value of nutrition.
UPDATE. In comments, Doghouse Riley: "The part about how Robinson -- who called himself an independent, but supported Republican candidates -- left the party after what he witnessed of the '64 convention and became a Democrat? Demonstrates the conservative value of voluntary deportation, I suppose."
