Why John Wayne and Myself are/were so Unpopular. :)

Throughout most of his life, Wayne was a vocally prominent conservative Republican in Hollywood, supporting anti-communist positions. However, he did vote for Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1936 presidential election and expressed admiration for Roosevelt's successor, fellow Democratic President Harry S. Truman. 

Wayne supported Vice President Richard Nixon in the presidential election of 1960, but expressed his vision of patriotism when John F. Kennedy won the election: "I didn't vote for him but he's my president, and I hope he does a good job." 

Wayne openly differed with the Republican Party over the issue of the Panama Canal, as he supported the Panama Canal Treaty in the mid-1970s; conservatives had wanted the U.S. to retain full control of the canal, but Wayne believed that the Panamanians had the right to the canal and sided with President Jimmy Carter and the Democrats. 

Wayne was married three times and divorced twice. His three wives, one of Spanish American descent and two of Hispanic descent, were Josephine Alicia Saenz, Esperanza Baur, and Pilar Pallete.

 

 I feel confident that regular readers will get the point of this based on recent posts. I'm using John Wayne as an example, in that Americans didn't use to be die-hard loyal to one political party or the other. I know very little about this guy, his career and life was basically over before I was born. I might have seen one or two of his movies as a little girl sitting on my Dads lap, but don't recall for sure. And yes, I am aware of some of his backwards statements...and I am also aware that he was married 3 times to....Hispanic women.   

  I'm not a Republican...which pisses the "conservatives" off.

I'm not a Democrat...which pisses the "liberals" off. 

I did not vote for Reagan, and have a low opinion of him.

I never voted for either Bill or Hillary Clinton, and never would. 

Fuck Donald Trump, everything he says, everything he does, everything he has done, everything he stands for, everything he lies about, his whole existence, and fuck anybody that doesn't like it. 

I am pro-life in that I wish every pregnancy and child was wanted...and healthy.

I am pro-choice in that I am a Libertarian and don't think its governments right to tell adult human beings what we can, or can not do with our own bodies.

I am a health nut, and know that drugs are bad for our bodies, and 100% do not, nor ever have supported the 50 year failed "War on Drugs".

I am supportive of strong national defense, and would not have, and do not support our invasion of any country, anywhere, since WW2. Strong defense is not the same as "offense".

I am not a fan of organized religion, but support peoples right to believe what they want, as long as they keep their religion out of my doctors office, my courtroom, schoolroom and my bedroom. 

I am supportive of egalitarianism. Meaning true equality. Which means I don't support special interest groups that curry favored status. So I don't support any group based on sex, race, sexual orientation, religion, culture, creed, ideology or anything else, over any other one. 

I do not find people that get the majority of their news or information from CNN or MSNBC to be very well informed. I find people that get their news or information from Fox News, Limbaugh and/or right-wing talk radio to be so misinformed, that talking to them on world events is like talking to a child. People should stop confusing Cable "news" talking points and soundbites, with facts.

Ergo...I don't fit into any demographers "mould" and the same applies to random people on the street, or online, so thusly it means, in that regard, pretty much no one "likes" me...which does not bother me one single bit. There are 7.5 billion people on this planet, and my being popular with all of them, or some of them, or even one of them is not important to me at all. Probably explains why most people view me as a misanthropic hermit (Hermitatrix??) and that's just fine.   :)
