California Democrats are pushing to rename John Wayne Airport because of racist and homophobic remarks made by the actor. Wayne, who died in 1979, once said that he didn't feel guilty about slavery, claimed Native Americans were 'selfishly trying to keep' land for themselves and used homophobic slurs. Democrats in Orange County now wish to drop the film legend's name, statue and other likenesses from the Santa Ana airport because of the bigoted comments.(Snip) He said: 'I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don't believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.'

Fine. California's gone to H in a handbasket anyhow. Let them name it "Black Lives Matter Airport." If they want to embarrass themselves further, let 'em do it.

A shame, really, but the Cali destroyers are on a rip.
Can't have electric power year round any more, and all the history is being erased by these leftist thugs.

And a hell of a lot of them haven't met his reasonable critierion, have they? Out in the street burning and looting and killing isn't any kind "a point of responsibility". Look at the talking heads on TV and most of them don't qualify, either.

Geez, even John Wayne isn't exempt from these commies. There's truth in the adage "give them (anarchists) an inch, and they'll take a mile". All brought to us by demonrats. Elect any of them in Nov and the whole country will experience the American Revolution again.

Doubt the context of these quotes...
No matter, OC GoP, hope you learned the insidious sickness of OC Dems and their ‘ballot-harvesting’ after the 2018 mid-2 terms.
Time to man-up, and women. Never let OC dems win again! Keep SNA loyal, and willing to work;44

If California ever revolts against the crazy Democrats, I'd put money on Orange County being where it finally starts. Not smart to keep rattling the Big Dog's cage.

Change the name to George Floyd Aerodrome or some clever leftist slang to see what Orange County residents will do.

Everybody in John Wayne's era used homophobic slurs because gays and lesbians were still in the closet and their lifestyle was seen as disgusting as well as humorous. Stars like Rock Hudson hid it well. Even Playboy magazine that eventually came around to embracing the gay lifestyle published many cartoons about gay people and their activities. None of the popular comedians like Johnny Carson, Eddie Murphy, Archie Bunker, etc. were caught up in the homophobe dragnet. John Wayne and Clint Eastwood were the last of the real men in Hollywood. Today's pretty boys are unwatchable and a disgrace to the male gender.

Well, I recall Cape Canaveral's name was changed to Cape Kennedy, and is now back to Cape Canaveral.

Take a look at any of his movies like Rio Bravo or Big Jake. He mixes with, lives with, deals with Mexicans and Indians peaceably, respectfully, and great politeness. In Big Jake, he prefers his Indian guide over his kids and makes his kids come into line and be respectful. In Rio Bravo, he plainly treats the hotel owner as an equal.
What crap.

I hate that term "homophobic." It's a trick to imply normal, sane, moral people have the illness, not the twisted, degenerate homosexual. Turn it around and call homos, "heterophobic," and see how they incline toward that moniker. Homos are psychopathic sexual deviants.
Heterosexual people can be "celibate," remain virgins until marriage, can be monogamous their whole lives even after the death of a spouse.
Homosexuals cannot do those things.
Homosexuals will never be celibate, are licentious from the moment of their "sexual awakening" and can't turn it off, and will also mate with anything at any time, e.g. the homo bathhouse phenomena.

If there is a John Wayne movie on TV (cable or streaming), I'm watching! Best star ever!

If at first you don't succeed, try try again. The Democrats note that the demographics of the region are much different from when the Duke lived there, adding that simple reminders of Outmoded Americans produce trauma, and lasting physical and psychological stress in People of Color and other Oppressed-Americans. Still think they'll let us keep the remnants of our culture after we've been demographically replaced? Turns out all that cheap labor wasn't all that cheap.
