So now white children have a role model whose a marijuana smoking Olympic Gold medal winner.
While black children have a role model whose a corrupt coke-head living in the White House.
I sure miss John Wayne.

Don't you mean Marion Morrison, the guy who wore a girdle and lifts in his shoes and avoided service in WWII.
Idols are never what they seem.

John Wayne sat out World War II to make movies in Hollywood. What you miss are the characters John Wayne played, and the values they represented.

Do you know for sure what John Wayne did when the cameras were not rolling? How do you know he didn't do some boozing and womanizing? I'd bet even money he did some. I may be wrong and I don't want to smear the guy. He MAY have been a saint but the odds are against it. There are very few saints among us.
