California Democrats are looking to change the name of John Wayne airport in Orange County over bigoted remarks the actor made during a 1971 interview with Playboy magazine.
In the piece — which has stirred controversy in the past — Wayne said he believed in white supremacy adding “I don’t feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago these people were slaves.”

What some people seem to be searching for is perfect innocence: somebody who has never said or done anything wrong. There are actually more Americans like that than you might think— the new airport name could be Preborn Children of Orange County Airport. They are not and never have been racists, and their initials would forever be “P.C.”
John Wayne’s not dead - he’s frozen. And as soon as we find the cure for cancer we’re gonna thaw out The Duke and he’s gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well multiple that by 15-million times, that’s how pissed off the Duke’s gonna be. I’m gonna get the Duke and John Cassavetes...
(Hey)
and Lee Marvin
(Hey)
and Sam Pekinpah
(Hey)
And a case of Whiskey and drive down to Texas...

In 1944 eighteen year olds were storming the beaches of Normandy; today eighteen year olds are clutching their pearls because they heard a word.
Let’s rename Kali! Since it is a State that hates all things American, let’s just rename it too!
We're all FRiends here but please, don't even kid about that or some a-hole on the left will say "I know a good name...." They have no shame, integrity or taste, you know.
Of course, naming happens after the honored person has "passed away." Adds a dimension.
GPS to airport: "On Malcolm X Road make a right turn on Ho Chi Minh Parkway. Take Hugo Chavez East Terminal Drive...."
“I’d like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.”

Fill your hands ,you son of a bitch
A “word” which didn’t seem to bother them growing up when they listened to Gangsta Rap in their White privileged suburban bedrooms.
This country needs a ginormous enema delivered by God.
Lee Marvin, one of my favorites! A Marine I believe who got wounded in the Pacific during WW2.
As long as we are thawing our people, don’t forget Ted Williams. He was pretty good with a Louisville Slugger.
"Fenway Pahk on it's feet for Teddy F'ing Ballgame.....He went yardo on that one, all the way to F'ing Landsdowne Street!"
Neither do I.
If you dig deep enough in anyone’s family history, you are going to find a slave.
If we accept that prostitute is the oldest profession, we should accept that slave is the second oldest.
Robert E.Lee Airport sounds nice.
If they are going after Woodrow Wilson, then just about anything is fair game to them. They want to rewrite history and abolish almost anything remotely affiliated with the past.
The line in the sand!
Lucy and Ethyl would try and stick it under their beds.
Clutching their little red books too. Charles Bronson will be the last straw
And a case of Whiskey and drive down to Texas...
Don’t take the Duke to Mexico!
He’ll get married again.
Every time the Duke went to Mexico he got married. (so it seems)
best movie fight ever..
John Wayne.
George Washington.
They are attacking the heroes of my youth.
