John Wayne is the latest target on the Lefts perpetual Wheel Of Outrage.
Should we really be surprised that theyd have a particular hate for an icon like John Wayne?
Seriously. Hes like Kryptonite to them. Look at some of his quotes, from his films and real life h/t Quotes:
Screw ambiguity. Perversion and corruption masquerade as ambiguity. I dont trust ambiguity.

I dont want ever to appear in a film that would embarrass a viewer. A man can take his wife, mother, and his daughter to one of my movies and never be ashamed or embarrassed for going.

Republic. I like the sound of the word
Out here a man settles his own problems
I wont be wronged. I wont be insulted. I wont be laid a-hand on. I dont do these things to other people, and I require the same from the. The Shootist.
Ive always followed my fathers advice he told me, first to always keep my word and, second, to never insult anybody unintentionally. If I insult you, you can be goddamn sure I intend to. And, third, he told me not to go around looking for trouble.
Very few of the so-called liberals are open-minded
. They shout you down and wont let you speak if you disagree with them.
Now the endlessly-offended activists want to erase him from history. Starting with the airport named after him.
Last week, a columnist for the Los Angeles Times suggested that those concerned about Waynes legacy should take the cancellation one step further by removing his name from the Orange County airport in order to demonstrate that those who hold problematic opinions even those expressed in a bygone era where they were considered acceptable will be stripped of mentions in history.
Its long past the time that Waynes name should come down, Michael Hiltzik writes.
But Hiltzik isnt so much concerned with how or why Waynes name has remained on the airport all these decades, just that it no longer represents modern Orange County.
Orange County today is such an economically and ethnically diverse community that its hard to justify asking any member of that community to board planes at an airport named after an outspoken racist and homophobe, with his strutting statue occupying a central niche in front of the concourse, he writes.
Is it because hes the racist and homophobe they claim him to be?
We covered the story of that objection when it first surfaced here:

Or is the real problem that he was an outspoken Republican from history a point specifically mentioned in Hiltziks article and they need any positive representation of Republicans scrubbed from history.
Its kind of like how the Soviets renamed St. Petersburg to Petrograd and then Leningrad, and how the Turks converted the worlds largest Cathedral the Hagia Sophia to a mosque immediately after putting Constantinople (later Istanbul) to the sword.
Were dealing with ideologues, and the simplest explanation of why they are doing this is this is their proof of cultural conquest.
