.....if you’re feeling down, lend your ears to the hardscrabble words of John Wayne.
These excerpts from a 1975 interview — nearly 40 years ago — sound like the Duke could have uttered them today, as he digs into liberal political tactics and fiscal policies.
Here’s Wayne’s take on those who lean left all the way back in the Ford presidency: “They never listen to your point of view, and they make a decision as to what you think, and they’re articulate enough and in control of enough of the press to force that image out for the average person.”

Well Pilgrim, someone oughta bust you in the mouth.
Now just change that to “the low-information voter” instead, and we HAVE A WINNER!
GOP blew it but the Tea Party is re-energized and many people are thinking beyond the hapless and duplicitous GOP. That’s the silver lining in the cloud.
The America I grew up in is long gone and my descendants will never get to experience the things we did.
Maybe the goal all along was to smoke out the RINOs who are little more than double agents and make them visible as the Quislings they are.
John Wayne westerns are some of my favorites IMO. Didnt start watching them until a few years ago.
I loved the Duke growing up. Our “Duke” now is Clint Eastwood. I always wondered how these two never made a movie together. If they did, I can’t think of it.
By and by, I could see the Duke interviewing an empty chair at the Republican national convention and it representing Jimma Carter, just like Clint did in 2012...
This is so good that I’m going to burn this on a CD clip:

No wonder the Duke and Reagan were such close friends!
“Life is hard, but it’s harder when you’re stupid.”

Pithy!
Fill your hand, you SOB.
John Wayne as Sgt Stryker....
Well ahhhh think I’m-a-gonna wrassle me a grizzly, an’ kiss me a purty gal
The Shootist was one of the best movies ever.
When the young town bully yells at the ‘old man’ to get outta his way Wayne looks at him and says “Wellllll, pardon me all to hell~!” in a way only he could do ... that sounded more like “f*** you very much”
I need a video clip of that
......or was it McClintock?
And This clip shows how Bob Hope felt about democrats

One of my favorite John Wayne stories is from an interview I heard on Moody radio (WMBI) years ago of a husband and wife team writing about Jewish life in 1930’s Germany. They had this private conversation with the Duke and were asking him whether they should even take on the project. His response was classic, “Well, you’ve got to. It’s the Jewish Alamo.” They then asked him if he thought people would get the point of what they were trying to say, and he came up with this little gem, “You can tell people anything you like, as long as you tell them in a story.” So true. And so John Wayne.
