And I was just thinking how the Bill Whittle video about Captain James T. Kirk being America and how Shatner pauses -- well, it all made me think of John Wayne. It must prove all things good lead to John Wayne :) <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bwhittle/2009/06/10/the-dowd-conundrum/" target="_blank">http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bwhittle/2009/0...</a> Yes.

I just ordered the John Ford/John Wayne box-set from Amazon for $29.99--a great deal! However, I can't help but say that as a man (not an actor) he wasn't everything I wanted him to be. He sat out WWII (I'm not saying he was a draft dodger, but it still wasn't the most honorable course), he boasted about "running some people out the country" for having Communist sympathies in Hollywood, he cheated on all three of his wives, he was somewhat neglectful of his kids, and he made some undeniably racist comments. And in real life, he didn't like horses (!). None of these are as bad as liberals make them out to be, and they don't define his entire life by any means, but I think its still important to acknowledge his flaws clearly instead of idolizing and deifying him the way liberals do Obama.

Johnny was on vacation and Don Rickles was guest hosting. He is surprised by Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and the man himself. The pure joy of the crowd upon seeing John Wayne made them rise to their feet immediately. The love of those men by everyone there is so clear and powerful. Sadly, not too many years after that show, both Bing and the Duke were gone. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUUTf7T-kDI&NR...</a>" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUUTf7T-kDI&NR...</a>" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUUTf7T-kDI&NR...</a></a> The comments for that and others like it, overwhelmingly show how much that era of class and integrity is missed so very dearly by so many who remember it.
