> To this day, John Wayne is the prototype of the

> Moral Republican Warrior.
> His imagery is the template that pioneered the

> In 1995 -- 18 years after his death -- he remained

> The Los Angeles Times said that, even years

> After 9/11 Peggy Noonan wrote
> a column hailing the return of

> "Yer in a whole lotta trouble now, Osama-boy."

> Yet John Wayne was one of America's biggest
> and most repugnant frauds -- in exactly the way
> that modern Right-wing leaders are. At a time
> when virtually nobody avoided combat, Wayne
> did exactly that, using the most dishonorable

> including older ones, went to fight, he was able
> to stay in Hollywood and become extremely rich
> playing war heroes. He spent the rest of his life
> glorifying every American war and accusing
> war opponents of being cowards, Communists
> and traitors. He crusaded for traditional
> American morality, attacking others whom
> he perceived to deviate, while he engaged in
> compulsive womanizing and adultery,
> repeatedly breaking up his own family, and
> wallowing in pill addictions.
> Before there was Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney,
> Newt Gingrich, George Bush, Bill Kristol,
> David Vitter and even John McCain
> [ http://tinyurl.com/4sr65a ] -- there was John
