John Wayne under siege
He may as well have been a Confederate. Since this is happening in Kalifornia it should not take long to rename that airport. This BS has no end in sight.
John Wayne Airport should be renamed, some say, after screen legend’s 1971 Playboy interview sparks controversy

Meanwhile Byrd gets a pass on everything he did related to the KKK.

Beautiful airport with a great statue of the Duke, but Orange County is no longer run by conservatives.

That Playboy interview is going to bite him in the ass when he runs for office.
...now that this top secret interview has been uncovered, it will probably keep him from ever getting another lead role - his Hollywood days are OVER
I hope the SJW fruitcakes that push this kind of shit choke on a clump of kale when they have their next baby shit colored hippy smoothy.
Meanwhile, I am going to out and buy a new Winchester Model 92 Saddle Ring Carbine with the Larger Loop Lever.

Sad because Orange County is one of the last conservative holdouts in Kalifornia. They'll probably try and rename it after Cesar Chavez.

Per the last election results, it was. Nothing like the "Inland Empire" part of SoCal of my youth. The ballot-box stuffers probably just drifted south & came ashore in the night.

They probably wouldn't want to hear what John Wayne had to say today either.

John Wayne, Confederate statues, banning a Stars & Bars band logo from kids' clothing, explosive demolition of ancient buddhas... all part of what you do to conquer from within; erase one history for the rewriting of another.

I watched a marathon of John Wayne movies on Sunday.
The way he objectified women in North to Alaska was disappointing. His reckless firearms use and willingness to promote violent themes by singing about "streets soon running with blood" in Riders of Destiny fired the opening salvo in a string of movies that featured Mr Wayne performing as a gruff misogynistic huckster. His openly racist treatment of 'Pompey' in The man Who Shot Liberty Valance made me sick to my stomach. Last of all, the way that John Wayne unfairly portrayed comancheros in his movie The Comanchero's was just another example of those on the bigoted right trying to demonize groups that are just trying to live their lives. By portraying the Commancheros as nothing but a large criminal gang that smuggles guns and whiskey just to make money and keep the frontier in a state of violence is unsatisfactory. Its just like the POTUS suggesting that undocumented persons are just illegal aliens from MS-13 involved in human trafficking, drug running, and gun smuggling for profit.
CBS clearly addressed this over the weekend with their special on the heroic nature of human coyotes helping migrants survive Central America's grueling Darien Gap jungle. The Commacheros were peaceful traders, helping the oppressed Comanche Indians feed their children and fight back against the oppressive land grabbing pale-faced Europeans that had came to America to force native Americans onto reservations.
...don't even get me started on that war movie John Wayne made about the CIA backed secret Army unit in Vietnam that ran around kidnapping innocent Vietnamese soldiers - and that lying thieving 'Peter-San' guy
I am boycotting all future movies starring John Wayne.

In today’s world he would have had his boy ripped from his arms by CPS for taking him to a movie set filled with racist privileged white males dressing up as Native-Americans (also once referred to a “Indians”) complete with artificially reddened skin tones and forced to act as savages hell bent on killing women and children.

Ha-ha. You funny. Ha.
Be fair now, that kidnapped guy was busy "objectifying" a poor innocent girl.

Wait! You completely overlooked Wayne's worst, over-the-top misogynistic movie "The Quiet Man" with all those unwanted advances on a defenseless and strongly independent young lady. The barbarism depicted in that film is nauseating. The young lady, after being forced (sold/traded by her brother like chattel) against her will into a relationship with Mr. Wayne's character, is chastised by one of the white male patriarchs of the village (also the town drunk) that she has no right to strike the man until they are married because then he will have the right to hit her back. Good God! And the worst is the part near the end where one of the locals offers Mr. Wayne a stick "to beat the nice young lady" after retrieving the oppressed bride during her attempt to flee and escape his evil clutches!
Oh, the humanity!
