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.”

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.

No, they want to bring down any white person that holds any place of honor.

That may involve abolishing history, but their ultimate goal is enslaving and diminishing the white race.

I have little respect for Wilson but being a racist and promoting segregation two of his more minor sins.

No there isn’t anything sacred, there can not be any reminder of American greatness, if it associated with white Trump supporters, that will be the line in the sand. Only be heroes who are black athletes, black entertainers, black politicians. In twenty years, there will be nothing left to remind generations to come, that white people built what was once a thriving nation and is just another third world $hit hole. We are allowing the demise by not striking back.

I have posted this in the past. The 1991 National Hockey League All-Star Game played in Chicago. Start around 20:20 (oddly enough). The best National Anthem ever sung in my opinion but the crowd’s reaction is something unforgettable. Look at the imagery. Now we have people kneeling. We may never see this again.

IIRC, SNA was at one time the busiest in the world, including all the private plane takeoffs & landings. Not nearly as many private prop planes there anymore, but still quite a few, plus scores of private jets.

However, the Airport leaders are in the process of carving out a new terminal for business jets, including international - and they'll be allowed to takeoff & land after regular hours according to an early account I read.

“”we as whites were told not to judge an entire group (blacks) by the actions (bad) of a few. That is exactly what they are doing to us now!””

I don’t recall it as whites and blacks but I sure remember it after 9/11/01. How many times were we told it wasn’t ALL MUSLIMS who were bad? HA - that their religion had been hijacked? I don’t think anyone has found the GOOD ones yet!

I remember the start of PC as not “mailmen” but “mail persons” and it went from there to everything else...

Best Ted W moment : hitting a HR in his last AB.

Worst: Losing MVP to DiMaggio because some punk a$$ reporter did not name him on his ballot.

Best TW years: serving his country as a pilot during the war.
