Burgess Meredith, the late actor who played “The Penguin” in the original “Batman” television series, plays the role of a conservative Christian branded as “The Obsolete Man” in a same-name episode of The Twilight Zone television series I watched on the SciFi Channel this afternoon. While watching the classic episode, which aired for the first time June 2, 1961, I couldn’t help but notice the many similarities between characters portraying representatives of an all-powerful, Godless government (a.k.a., “The State”) and the liberals who make up the current administration of President Barack Obama. Hmmm? The State oppressing a conservative Christian? Talk about life imitating art.
Click here to watch the episode, shown in three parts, and see if you agree.
