I’m putting John Wayne Day on the calendar. We’ll have steaks and watch “Rio Grande.”

Great idea.

California is so freakin messed up.

Wayne told the magazine Playboy in a 1971 interview. "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," he said.

Is it racist if it's true?

[albie]

Soon we won’t be able to order coffee “black”.

[Tax-chick]

That’s the truth.

I’ll forget about it, but now that it’s on the calendar, the kids will say, “What’s this?” and I’ll say, “Aha! That means we’re going to have steaks and watch John Wayne movies and tell stories about your grandfather!” and they’ll be thrilled.

Our youngest daughter is named Kathleen after Maureen O’Hara’s character in “Rio Grande.”

I shall immediately stop using the term BLACK MAGIC.

Forget John Wayne Day.

I want John Wayne Month.

Heck, lets make it all year.

This country needs more people like the Duke and to get back to those ideals.

[Tax-chick]

There are more than enough movies to last a month.

What do they call that now, misappropriation?

[BatGuano]

Damn!

This probably means there will be no “Bat Guano Day” in California either.

The “land of the fruits and nuts” succeeds again in showing the world how truly crazy they are. SHEESH!

Giving leadership to irresponsible uneducated people hasn’t worked out so well so I guess it is true.

[xp38]

Maybe if it’s retitled Marion Morrison Day it might slip by.

[FatherofFive]

I don't believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people

That is the basic premise of Affirmative Action and Diversity programs.

[Rusty0604]

So that joke about liking your coffee the same as you like your men is out of the question.

Wayne told the magazine Playboy in a 1971 interview. “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,” he said.

Abe Lincoln pretty much said the same thing.

[Vaquero]

There's this Indian who really needs to take a cr@9. So he goes to the out house and discovers that there is no toilet paper. He then decides that he will first go and buy a roll. At the store he asks the clerk how much it is for a roll of toilet paper. “Well we got three brands, $3.00 for Charmin, $2.00 for fluffy, or $1.00 for the no-name-brand.” He decides that the no-name-brand will do. He later returns to the store and says to the clerk, “I got a name for the toilet paper you sold me.” “Oh yah, what is it?” “John Wayne, It’s rough, tough, and it don’t take no $#!+ off of Indian!”
