Chuck Norris (and Michael Landon) were golden age role models for young men. Strong but thoughtful, firm but compassionate, and deeply principled but also practical. Yes, these were acting roles but they picked those roles for a reason. Rest in peace, Chuck.

"Deeply principled" really doesn't describe Obama birther conspiracists.

Chuck Norris was no role model, unless you want your young men to grow up as fascist Christian nationalist homophobes.

He was openly maga and a homophobe and a transphobe. I wouldn’t consider these qualities for a role model.
