Conservative Film Icon John Wayne Born Today

I have always been a big fan of John Wayne. After watching "True Grit" for like the 20th time I finally looked up online where it was filmed. I always figured it was in Colorado. It was filmed in and around Ridgeway and Ouray. So last fall Mike and I drove up there with Thatcher and spent two nights in Ouray. It is probably the most beautiful area in Colorado that I had ever seen. Can not wait to go back someday.

Here is a quote from John Wayne that I saw today:

“I have found a certain type calls himself a liberal…now I always thought I was a liberal. I came up terribly surprised one time when I found out that I was a right-wing, conservative extremist, when I listened to everybody’s point of view that I ever met, and then decided how I should feel. But this so-called new liberal group, Jesus, they never listen to your point of view”

-John Wayne (1907-1979)
