    Obama vs John Wayne

    Obama vs John Wayne at Prepare To Be Offended

    Obama vs John Wayne

    Two quotes here, one pitiful and one great:
    My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it
    Life’s tough… it’s even tougher if you’re stupid

    life must be very hard for the Big O
    Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair or ****ing beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. -Al Swearengen (Deadwood)

    I hate to point this out because even if it isn't true it is still pretty funny but the quote isn't true according to Snopes:
    snopes.com: Greatest Nation

    i don't feel so bad about pointing this out by John Wayne:

    It doesn't have to be a direct quote, it's the thought that counts.
    We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.

    You are right, what actually happens takes a back seat to what we think happens.

    Just because Snopes says it, don't make it so. They are left leaning, and sometimes use doctored "evidence".

    yeah, there is no single resource on the net that you can completely trust. In general I defer to snopes but, like you say, they are libs.

    I think the only reasonable thing to do at this point is to post Obama actually saying the quote. In the age of youtube it shouldn't be hard.

    I originally got this in an email. Had to go and find a link to post. Quote describe what Obama is trying to do the the greatest country in history.
    John Wayne's quote is just true grit.
