John Wayne's Parents Lived in Waterloo, Iowa
American Spectator ^ | 6.29.11 @ 4:50PM | By Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 06/29/2011 3:33:32 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

Michele Bachmann says "John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa" and the media goes nuts. Ohhhhhhhh what an idiot, she confused John Wayne with John Wayne Gacy the serial killer. Ha ha ha.

Now comes word that… yes indeed… Clyde Morrison and his blushing bride Molly got married in…. Waterloo, Iowa. And settled there.

Later moving to Winterset, Iowa. Where they had their bouncing baby boy ...Who grew up to become -- yes indeed -- John Wayne.

Not John Wayne Gacy.

John Wayne was born at the northwest corner of East South Steed and South 2nd Street in Winterset, exactly 146 miles from downtown Waterloo.

The word ‘uniter’ is one to avoid, esp. after 2008.

Love political partisans twisting to declare "Comrade Napoleon is Never wrong"

Should form a club with "There was no mistake. Or if there was the Queen made it. Anyway maybe we should do it this way in future, since Obama's way is better. He's so dreamy, he couldn't possibly make a mistake." Obama gaffe? Orchestra premature? Her Majesty rude?

Sure. This was discussed at BACHMANN PLAN SLAMMED BY VETERANS' GROUPS (American Legion v. Tea Party?)

Again, for your perusal.

Elected president I believe that either Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman could do what this amazing woman did in Australia. I received this a few mornings ago:

“NO” - The Second Time she has done this !
AMAZING You must read it !!!!
She’s done it again..
She sure isn’t backing down on her hard line stance and one has to appreciate her belief in the rights of her native countrymen..
A breath of fresh air to see someone lead. I wish some leaders would step up in Canada & USA.

Australian Prime Minister does it again!!

This woman should be appointed Queen of the World.. Truer words have never been spoken.

It took a lot of courage for this woman to speak what she had to say for the world to hear. The retribution could be phenomenal, but at least she was willing to take a stand on her and Australia’s beliefs. The whole world needs a leader like this!

> Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation’s mosques. Quote:

‘IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.’

‘This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom’

‘We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society. Learn the language!’

‘Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.’

‘We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.’

‘This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, ‘THE RIGHT TO LEAVE’.’

‘If you aren’t happy here then LEAVE. We didn’t force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.’

Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves in Canada & USA, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

If you agree please SEND THIS ON and ON, to as many people as you know .

I've Told you before. Red Julia did not do this. would not to this.

Stop spreading disinformation

And for Pities sake Google: "angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying" and see how many different Prime Ministers the exact words are atributed to.

It's an Urban Leg End

Unfortunately, you’ve been “pwned”. That quote is an internet hoax. It’s been floating around for several years with attribution to various Australian Prime Ministers, beginning with John Howard, and later Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard.

The only one who would have plausibly uttered something like this was Howard, and there are other statements from Howard that do convey, collectively, some of the same sense. But not this dramatic version.

Kevin Rudd is a leftist muslim appeaser, and Julia Gillard is a hardcore moonbat leftist. Neither of them would ever say anything like this.

The American press corps has gradually become a national disgrace.

Not only do they get it wrong half the time, they seem to enjoy getting it wrong, never correct themselves, and never apologize.

And John Wayne Gacy was born in Chicago and moved to Waterloo as an adult.

I want Palin to be President. All Palin supporters should only sing Bachmann praises, so when Michelle gets out of the race and supports Palin, her supporters will get on board, also.

PALIN WILL ONLY BENEFIT BY BACKMANN!

Greetings TwelveOfTwenty:

Welcome to Free Republic.

Said that because you ought to know Military Times is just another Gannett USA Toady propaganda rag. Helps explain why FR can't post stuff from Gannett's Marxist tools.

So we have to read between the lines in a quest for truth. And paraphrasing the USA Toady spin: The impact of Bachmann freezing veterans’ health care funding cuts veterans benefits.

Bachmann's proposed spending freeze becomes a cut in USA Toady propaganda speak.

Next, Veterans for Common Sense, the USA Toady source, is just another Soros shell group. But why take my word for it? Go to their cheezy website and check it out for yourself.

Your welcome,
OLA

The political Left's readiness to pounce on anything they think might be a gaffe or an embarrassment for conservative GOP candidates gets them into trouble on a weekly basis. They just can't help themselves. ....thankfully.

In psychological terms it's called transference. The Left doesn't want to admit or own up to the gaffes of Dear Reader ('cause he's so great) so it gets transferred to others even though the other person is right and they committed no gaffe.

In a stuffy, over-decorated office somewhere a therapist/psychologist is licking their chops at the prospect of so many potential clients.

Bachman did support the cuts until the DAV and other vet groups got on her. I am a life member of MOPH and DAV,and a AMRA and SOA member.

Bachman best tell this nation she means no Vet cuts, other then admin cuts, or call her MELBA.

It looks like she has.

I'm glad she backed away from this, because she's among my top three or four choices.
