Don't you GOPers want John Wayne

Recommended Posts

Guys I'm a little confused here.
Help me out, in this day and age where many people are worried to death about their income, their future and are watching the value of their homes crash while those in the investor class continually be bailed out and profit ...... shouldn't you guys be looking for a John Wain type instead of a Gordon Gekko type character?

You know...this;

No. We already had John Wayne. His name was Ronald Reagan. Wayne supported the Vietnam war. Wayne was a member of the John Birch Society (look it up). Wayne was a fucking dick.

On top of that, his name was Marion.

Ponder this: how many wars would there be in the world if all world leaders were like Harvey Milk?

My mother had a friend whose daughter was a nurse in California. She dined out for years on being John Wayne's nurse towards the end:

I'm tellin ya - Stephen Colbert. He's funny, he is as conservative as they come on TV, and he's smart enough to make a lot of money _without_ having to get people to vote for him.



I don't get the impression he's conservative. I get the impression he plays the stereotype of a conservative as part of the act.

and it's a good act and good show

Which is probably why Bill said "as conservative as they come on TV". ;)

The problem is that will never happen, and the little Hitler leaders will trod all over the Harvey Milk's of the world. So if you want to survive in a brutal world, you better be tough.

Stephen Colbert is not a conservative in real life. He just 'puts-on' for his t.v. show. He's actually an 'independant'. He at one time described himself as a democrat. He says he has nothing against republicans, just their policies.

The John Birch Society is an American paleoconservative organization founded in 1958 by Massachusetts businessman Robert Welch (1900-1985). Until the collapse of Soviet Communism in 1991, it focused on Communism as the enemy of American values, warning that Communism already exerted a powerful control on the national government.
At its peak in 1964 the Society claimed to have hundreds of chapters throughout the country, 100,000 members, 400 American Opinion bookstores to distribute and sell its magazine and pamphlets, and an active cadre of speakers that crisscrossed the country.

A lot of folks supported the Vietnam War.

At the time we were fighting Communism. Why does this make John Wayne "a fucking dick?"

As to Harvey Milk, if Sean Penn's portrayal was accurate, I am not able to ponder Milk as world leader.
Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
