"Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I'm not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be."

Lenny Bruce had the same criticism of the Left.
Here's the trend: It's been chic for a long time for liberals to identify with Stevenson and hate Nixon, for example. But how liberal are they if they can't be liberal with Nixon? Truth comes to all of us at different degrees and levels; those we love and those we hate are actually a part of us. Every reader knows, if he searches his soul, that he is part McCarthy, part Stevenson, part Krushchev, every antithesis combined. And, knowing this, you will hate sometimes. I will hate, have hated, and will continue hating. But I have come to the realization that I am certainly not superior to those I hate.The Violent Liberals by Lenny Bruce (collected in The Almost Unpublished Lenny Bruce)[ snip ]
To tie it up, has Eisenhower and his Administration been corrupt? No. Has Eisenhower and his Administration purposely done damage to the country? No. Eisenhower and Administration are not mean, corrupt men - they are merely inadequate men who have proven their lack of leadership by popularizing the phrase "Yankee Go Home!"
John Wayne is on AMC right now in the “The Quiet Man”, one of my all time favorites!
Happy Birthday John Wayne. We miss you Friend.
I dont go to the theater any more. There is nothing worth seeing.
Watching Tom Cruise a 5’6” Simpleton try to play a hero just doesnt get it for me.
“John Wayne is on AMC right now in the “The Quiet Man”, one of my all time favorites!”
2nd best Duke movie.
Does that include The Quiet Man?
100 hours of John Wayne films on the Western Channel now.
What do you think is the Duke’s best movie? “The Searchers”?
Which channel is that?
Where is John Wayne? He is on a couple of different movie channels on cable this week!!! Have had most all his greats on there. “In Harms Way” is one of my all time faves. “Quiet Man” is on right now.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
The Searchers is in the top five.
Good movie! There are so many that he made. Another one of my favorites that I remember seeing as a kid at the theater was the “High and the Mighty”. I’m glad that Turner Classics has been showing it lately.
John Wayne was a unique human being. I even loved him in the two “I Love Lucy” episodes he appeared in!
Yes, it’s hard to choose. I’m awful fond of Eldorado and The Sons of Katie Elder.
