You're pretty good with the name calling. A bully and a snob. The fact is, The Duke just wasn't that great an actor. He had no range, he played the same character in all his movies. Conservatives like you love him because he represented what you think America is or should be, strong, noble etc. Compared to other actor's of his generation like Henry Fonda and James Stewart, he wasn't much of a thespian.

Absolutely, toby and dcase, John Wayne served his country with honor.
I long for celebrities who unabashedly revere the USA like he did.

I never said you did. I was responding to George's comment, not yours.

My post seems to have gone astray. I'll try it again.
