Title: John Wayne, In His Own Words, On Liberals...Amazing Find.
Post by: twyacht on May 12, 2012, 08:10:34 PM: Wish you were still here Duke!!!! He calls it like he sees it. I had never heard this before. Good to hear from him.

Words like this need to be remembered and passed on...It's from about 1975.

"You're being conned into keynesianism and socialism now..." John Wayne........ Prophetic words.

How true!

Post by: JLawson on May 14, 2012, 08:28:26 AM: He talks about a man's dignity... that thing that allows a man to hold his head high and see the future as something he can mold in his own way - using his own talents and skills. The liberal's way - giving some a hand out at the expense of others - does nothing to nurture a man's dignity. Creating an economic environment where people can work and produce, an environment where people can bring home an honest day's pay for an honest day's work - that's what cultivates a man's dignity.

We need more like John Wayne today.

This is not a "bad" thing.
It is simply another example of why the word "fair" should never be used in serious social, or political discussion.
Life is not fair.
If it were then every one would get cancer, or no one would.
All men may be created equal in the eyes of the law, but that does not mean all men are created equal.
Not every one has what it takes to be an Edison or a Gates.
You can not raise a dull, lazy person to their level.
All that you can do is eliminate the opportunity for the gifted to rise above the herd.

As I've always said, "Fair" is where you go to eat cotton candy and step in horse shit.

It's purpose is to f*ck as few people as possible while allowing the rest to strive for their full potential.

Post by: Solus on May 14, 2012, 03:05:30 PM: Under our Constitution all men were created with equal opportunity not equal ability.

And that opportunity is the chance to make of your life what you can with the advantages/disadvantages you have been dealt.
