WATCH: Joe Biden Suggests Republican Lawmaker Should Get Beat Up

“As my brother, who loves to use lines from movies, a John Wayne movie, there’s a good line in a movie, a John Wayne movie where the Indian chief turns to John Wayne and says ‘this is a lying dog-faced pony soldier,'” Biden rambled.


On Edit:

Hondo - 1953 referred to Pony Soldiers (cavalry)...
Vittorio : You are Apache. Now, hear me. Pony soldiers are near. Soon will be ford-remembered fight. They will come here first. You will not go with them, white man.
Hondo Lane : I will not.
Vittorio : Leader of pony soldiers will question you. You will say you see Apache trailing to the west.
Hondo Lane : [refusing to comply with the additional instruction] This I will not do.

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon - "Dog faced soldier"'...

At the end of She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, the narrator tells the audience: "So here they are. The dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents a day professionals riding the outposts of a nation. From Fort Reno to Fort Apache...from Sheridan to Stockton...they were all the same. Men in dirty-shirt blue...and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rose and whatever they sought for, that place became the United States."
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
