It strikes me that the same crap liberals pulled in John Wayne's day they are still doing today.
Liberals have not changed. They are just the same old tired movement, so why do they call themselves "Progressive"?
Now you know damn well that the liberal beta culture could care less about the alpha male mentality of the Duke and his republican counterparts.
I see you prefer to fake legend to the real one....
John Wayne was a Hollywood nobody who worked his way from useless acting role to useless acting role in a time when actors made squat only to become one of the most famous actors in history. Nothing more alpha than that.
