What other candidate could get the awesome endorsement of the totally unknown child of a star of cowboy movies who's been dead for almost 40 years??

(14,912 posts)I believe in white supremacy, until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don't believe giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people ... I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from [the Native Americans] ... Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.[15]:289[57]
In the same Playboy interview, Wayne also responded to questions about whether entitlement programs were good for the country:
I know all about that. In the late Twenties, when I was a sophomore at USC, I was a socialist myselfbut not when I left. The average college kid idealistically wishes everybody could have ice cream and cake for every meal. But as he gets older and gives more thought to his and his fellow man's responsibilities, he finds that it can't work out that waythat some people just won't carry their load ... I believe in welfarea welfare work program. I don't think a fella should be able to sit on his backside and receive welfare. I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living. I'd like to know why they make excuses for cowards who spit in the faces of the police and then run behind the judicial sob sisters. I can't understand these people who carry placards to save the life of some criminal, yet have no thought for the innocent victim.[4]:580

My 77 year old father was a big fan of his, until I showed him this a few months ago. My dad couldn't believe it! My dad is a life-long Democrat, and just got his 60 year Pin from the Union the week before Thanksgiving... and my mom being half Cherokee... it really irked him. He always watches old westerns, but I don't think he's watched a John Wayne movie since reading this.
Peace,

(52,166 posts)though I didn't know that until I saw it earlier today, but the fact is he was a very famous actor, just like Ty Cobb was a very famous ball player despite being a despicable person. No one should reach adulthood in the US without knowing who John Wayne was.
