naming things for people is often problematical.
As George Orwell noted, those who control the present, control the past. We must stop these leftists from erasing history.

Is it true that John Wayne always had an apple pie in his saddlebag?
1984 anyone?
One of these days one of these snowflakes in CA will discover Saint Bernardine’s teachings on gays. Then, what poofter will they rename the city of San Bernardino to?
Perhaps these Marxists can name the things that don’t offend them.
After every last road, bridge or building named after Robert KKKBryd is renamed, then we can talk about John Wayne
Hypocritical much?

Wonder what American icons he is going after next...Audie Murphy, Jimmy Stewart, Florence Nightengale, Bob Hope, Babe Ruth, George Patton, Ike, Bugs Bunny, Amelia Earhart..?
What pukes these liberals are.
Critics call for John Wayne Airport to be renamed after interview resurfaces
—
It didn’t “surface”. It was dug up.
The real question is who did the research to dig up this article from a half-century ago and why.
It's time.
Rename it, how bout BJ Smollett airpark
“Wayne, who was 63 at the time of the interview, said he believed in “white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility.” “
Wasn’t this the reason Democrats gave for backing the communist Viet Cong and NVA?
“Those little brown people aren’t educated enough yet for Democracy!”
“Critics call for John Wayne Airport to be renamed after interview resurfaces”
Resurfaces? Was it banished and just recently smuggled back into the country?
Or is somebody just trying to stir something up because Democrats are always ready to attack American heroes and Republican politicians will run away three times before the cock can crow.
I have never seen either of these films and I have no plans to do so. I'm pretty sure "Midnight Cowboy" is about midnight, but it's probably not about a cowboy.
well let’s just have a war on John Wayne, shall we? after all, almost all of America’s culture, heros, landmarks and notables are all under attack in a febble attempt to start another civil war..
But for giggles, let’s just walk back in time a few decades and see what people thought about, oh, I dunno, gays:
“The mother’s conduct is illegal and immoral and renders her an unfit parent,” Judge Buford M. Parsons Jr., of Henrico County Circuit Court, said in 1993, endorsing a decision earlier that year by a juvenile court judge to give custody of Ms. Mattes’s 2-year-old son, Tyler, to her mother, Kay Bottoms.
The Virginia Court of Appeals returned custody to Ms. Mattes in 1994, but the next year the Virginia Supreme Court, in a 4-to-3 ruling, gave custody back to Kay Bottoms.
“We have previously said that living daily under conditions stemming from active lesbianism practiced in the home may impose a burden upon a child by reason of the ‘social condemnation’ attached to such an arrangement,” Justice A. Christian Compton wrote in the majority opinion.
“We do not retreat from that statement,” the opinion added.”

Someone should take these “critics” through a cancer ward, particularly a children’s cancer ward. After they see what gruesome horror these stricken patients have to deal with, then let’s hear them gripe about “how awful” a 50 year old remark in a magazine really is and how actually important. These people are as shallow as a piece of paper, utterly vapid and self-absorbed. Why should such mental defectives get to rename an airport named for an American icon? They need to dial back their hyperbole about a lot of nothing and get some perspective.
This latest round of destroy Americans monuments, flag, icons, and history, suddenly surfaced at nearly the same time it became obvious in the national news that Smollett was being exposed as a black racist, liar and complete fraud.
Funny how these things just pop up.
