    Nothing. But Wayne lived near the airport in Newport beach. Several years ago a Republican assemblyman wanted to make John Wayne's birthday a state holiday. :roll:

    No kidding, the Democratic Party was the party of slavery, the KKK was basically the military arm of the Democratic Party.

    So disingenuous. Southerns who hate Lincoln lost their welcome in the Democratic party. Nixon capitalized on gaining their votes with his 'Southern strategy'. To suggest otherwise is clearly dumbing down. And I know you can do better, pal.

    He entertained two generations. That's something the lefts' posts on this forum will never accomplish.

    I agree. I for one would never fly into Reagan national . Somehow knowing that the air traffic controllers work in a place named for the person that broke their union is disquieting to me. It only takes one to go postal...

    I think this is different from the confederate monuments, which we ought to take down. John Wayne didn't fight to keep blacks enslaved. He just had some dumb views about blacks. No reason we should define his legacy that way.

    Like absolutely nobody takes you people serious when you people label others as racist, and all the other isims, since you have no credibility, and it comes second nature to leftist, like breathing.

    (Shrug) The Left's mania for finding a perfect human being is amusing since time after time they proclaim someone perfect only years later to discover that he or she was actually less than decent after all. I dare say that even their holy and sacred living saints -- Barack Obama and Michelle Obama -- are somehow -- gasp! -- less than pristine and perfect. Oh the humanity! Hahahahaha!

    Be fair now. Look at his target audience. It's not as if he had to work hard to pull the wool over their eyes. Hell, they helped him do just that. In my younger day I might have been offended by the Left deciding to deep-six John Wayne over his private views; but now I just shrug and say . . . WTF. Crap happens.

    It's a time of either beta males or fantasy super heroes. There no longer seems to be an in-between.

    It goes like this. Whites discover a nice piece of land to call home, put in the water, sewer, electrical, roads, schools, hospitals, etc. white picket fences, manicured lawns, etc. the along come the Mexicans, bring their crime and trash, driving property value down and the whites out. Pretty soon San Diego, and Orange County are just like Tijuana. If you are living with Mexicans, out are living in a barrio.

    What did Bob Hope do that would deserve having an airport named after him (Burbank)?

    Let’s say that’s all true, if very few people still alive give a **** about him now, why not rename it?

    This political correctness PC taliban BS has gone to far.

    Always judging history and people to today's standards.

    It's cultural-marxism

    It's revisionism and talibanism

    The Democratic Party Taliban are also demanding toppling the John Wayne monument at the airport.

    Trump I would raise a phallic skyscrapper and name it the super trump tower.
    A monument to virility.
    The border wall could also be a phallic monument to the greatness of trump sexual capability, but it would be at rest compared to the giant phallic skyscrapper which coulbe the highest phallic representation on earth.
