The Came for John Wayne

Just damn.  I hate democrats.

Funny when did this become the communist republic of Nazifornia where shit people said 50 years ago as a free citizen is a fucking problem?

“… I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people,” he said in that interview nearly 50 years ago.

What he said directly before this might sound bigoted, keep in mind that there were no civil rights for non-whites for many years after it’s creation.  You can thank the NRA for combating the KKK, by trying to empower the blacks at the time, to own rifles and pistols, and defend their families, when many others would not.

Amerindians did not really have a concept of land ownership like Europeans had and what we have today in the modern USA. Plus Amerindians conquered and enslaved rival tribes and territory by themselves before Westerners arrived to the New World.  In any case they weren’t all peaceful pacifists either wandering around with a spear and fig leaf.

“I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people,”

Whether or not Wayne’s comment was racist or not is one thing perhaps,  however I think overall he was  right looking at the Black Socialists/BLM/ Black Panthers ect running amok from the 1960’s to the present day . But White Liberals/Socialist are not any better though. Wayne used to be a Socialist during his college years then he became a Conservative later on.  Heston used to be a big time Liberal too, then he saw the light.

But this act is just trying to go after another powerful White figure and part of our American history.

I know there’s a song named after him, any buildings or monuments?  I can’t think of any.  I don’t recall Clint Eastwood saying anything objectionable, but he’s an outspoken conservative, so he’s guilty by existing.

Here’s an excerpt from an Esquire interview reported just before the last presidential election (2016):

Eastwood’s advice to America: “Just fucking get over it. It’s a sad time in history”.  Trump, the actor fumed, is “onto something, because secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up. That’s the kiss-ass generation we’re in right now. We’re really in a pussy generation. Everybody’s walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff,” Eastwood continued.

“When I grew up, those things weren’t called racist…when I did Gran Torino,” Eastwood told Esquire, “even my associate said, ‘This is a really good script, but it’s politically incorrect’. And I said, ‘Good. Let me read it tonight’. The next morning, I came in and I threw it on his desk and I said, ‘We’re starting this immediately’.”

A genuine, bona-fide backbone. Clint Eastwood is an endangered species, too few like him.

Oh so you are a pussy. Got it. Let me know when you want to learn how to adult.

I  hope nothing is destroyed, only relocated.   I’m not a fan, but I do appreciate his prolific contributions.

“Orange County Airport” was the original name of the airport; the proposal is to rename the airport the original name, once again — not after an activist or a “victim”,  just simply the original historical name.

There’s nothing here for me to take issue with.  No destruction of art or other memorabilia, the new name itself is historical and perfectly benign, no one is advocating burning effigies of JW, no digital streaming company is removing his movies from their library, and no one is revoking/recalling his academy awards — as far a I know?
