    More than you're doing, trying to put him down. A whole lot of movie fans thought he was terrific, as they did for many other big-name (4-F) stars. They were figureheads, yes. That was an age when we still had heroes.

    Okay, dodged service. See above. You're still dead wrong. DO SOME RESEARCH!

    Leftists have no heroes and cannot conceive of having them. Wayne delivered.

    Thinking he was a terrific actor is fine. Trying to hold him up as "hero" is ridiculous.

    My grandfather was a hero. Wayne played them on film. And, back to my original point, he was a white supremacist.

    I've addressed everything you've said. And while you don't like what I say, you haven't found anything that is "dead wrong."

    I'm far from being a leftist and I have many heroes.

    If you honestly think we have no heroes today, as you seem to have said several times, I encourage you to DO SOME RESEARCH. If you can't find people today more admirable than Wayne, then you aren't trying.

    Lewis was a Democrat politician and an advocate for Big Bad Government. That's not good.
    Nevertheless, what politicians say seldom resembles what they actually do.

    The "progressive" "Leftist" movement was organized and led by white intellectuals. As, the Marxist, Genovese, finally admitted, it has been an an engine of systemic genocide, ethnic cleansing and nihilist mass extermination.

    "Those who are big on multiculturalism might note that the great majority of our victims were nonwhite. ...Reflecting on moral responsibility. I have referred to 'we'. For it has never occurred to me that the moral responsibility falls much less heavily on those of us on the American left than it fell on Comrade Stalin and those who replicated his feats in one country after another. "

    "....And I am afraid that some of the responsibility falls on the 'democratic socialists,' 'radical democrats', and other left wingers who endlessly denounce Stalinism but could usually be counted on to support - 'critically,' of course - the essentials of our political line on world and national affairs." Eugene D. Genovese, "The Crimes of Communism: What did you know, and when did you know it?" "Dissent" Summer, 1994.

    Deadly systemic institutional racism has always been all about the DP.
    The Republicans, since Reconstruction, have just been ineffective and indifferent, for the most part.

    Malcolm X pointed that out. It may take a long time for everyone else to finally really get "woke" to the unpleasant truth.

    “Both of them have sold us out, both parties have sold us out. Both parties are racist, and the Democratic Party is more racist than the Republican Party.” Malcom X, By Any Means Necessary, Malcom X, Betty Shabazz and Pathfinder Press, 1992, P 46.

    Read it: It was the answer to your question.
    Hint: ask a better question if that answer was not what you were looking for.

    And then we can change all those communist named streets. Martin Luther King Ave can become Tolerance Way. Hosea Williams Drive can become Utopia Parkway.

    Yes to both questions. He wanted to preach a doctrine of non-violence while provoking patriots to answer a call to action.

    I've worked for many a company that was scared shitless to reprimand a black, fearing charges of racism and "discrimination."

    The immigration laws that the MAGA crowd wants enforced attempt to allow people to come in "equally." On the surface it sounds fair and equitable until you figure out that whites are only 1 in 13 of the world's population and by flooding America with "legal" third worlders, it is legalized genocide against whites since they will eventually fall victim to extinction given those odds.

    Reverse discrimination has been employed, litigated and found unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. So don't tell me blacks don't employ racism; it's simply not true.

    The blacks want to tear down the Constitution by attacking the Bill of Rights. Sure that word we cannot say may not be pleasing to your ears, but censoring people who say it sets a bad precedent for the First Amendment.

    Exactly how many examples do you need?

    Okay, wrong question. I'll think of another that will get us somewhere... when the answer is - more geared to an answer others are not prepared for.

    Great. Both are racist. Who the heck didn't know that.
    The USA is racist. It was fought into existence with racism. Slavery. Moving Natives off their land onto small patches of land.

    What blacks are tearing down the constitution? Attacking what in the BoR?
    You're upset because you can't say the N word? That's what your issue is about?
    What would be your reason to say that N word?

    After directly referring to the USO and other patriotic war efforts, I thought I'd add this.

    Public morale in wartime was CRUCIAL.
    Civilian workers (male and female!) were working long hard hours and demanded films reflecting their goals and efforts. Denigrate the Hollywood actors all you like---but they were just as much warriors as the rear-echelon soldiers --- or myself 12 miles off the coast in a later war but still in a combat zone. I don't look down on those who served by different means.

    Preaching non-violence while subtlety COMMITTING GENOCIDE is psychological warfare.

    Dude, YOU can't say the N word... I can. And don't be flippant. You know damn well this isn't about one word. Get real already. EVERY BLACK THAT VOTES FOR DEMOCRATS ARE VOTING FOR RACISTS AND AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS. Maybe if it's bolded, in all caps and put bluntly, you will understand what I said.

    Quite frankly I don't "need" a reason to use any word and the Bill of Rights does not require anyone to show a "need" to exercise their God given Rights. One thing is obvious: You have a problem with the Freedom of Speech too.

    Slavery was never a racist institution before Calhoun introduced race theory to justify slavery in the old DP South.
    The Indians were not moved because of their race.
