The world has moved on from the big scandal of the Battle of Iraq since the Old Media and the Congressman from Pennsylvania John ‘The Saboteur’ Murtha declared to the world that our Marines committed ‘cold blooded murder’. I…

Ive been reading leftist blogs tonight and it is astounding how many view 9-11 as just a bad day. Ive read a mind boggling number of posts that compare the deaths on September 11th to the number of deaths in car accidents or criminal acts.

I guess its collateral damage. It makes me wonder what exactly are acceptable losses to these people. They are actually contemptuous of those of us who see an attack against American interests on American soil (the very symbols of our financial (WTC) and military (Pentagon) might as an act of war. It was just 19 people who committed a crime - thats all.

The further away we get from September 11, 2001, the more we hear from the weak and the cowardly.

I still don’t like the WAY we left Vietnam - but the fact remains that he has taken the brunt of the blame for everything Vietnam when it was 2 dem presidents who are actually the architects of it.

People do not pay attention to history and that is to our detriment. The Bay of Pigs was on Kennedy’s watch as well. A situation in which a promise was made and broken after freedom fighters had begun a battle, leaving them to die and Castro in control of Cuba for years to come. Yet Kennedy has been anointed sainthood simply because he was popular, young and murdered.

Thanks Ed and thanks for coming by my blog

Carol - they talk about the ‘politics of corruption’. I mean GIVE THEM A MIRROR!!!

mudkitty - Be careful what you ask for, the sky might just fall slap on top of you. It fell on 2,996 of our fellow citizens a few years back - remember?

The same year JFK (democrat) was elected (1960) U. S. military advisors arrive in Vietnam, two years later, 1962 Agent Orange was introduced during his term (environmentalist?) and his running mate Johnson escalated it all after Kennedy’s assassination. It was November 1968 Mayor Richard Daley orders police to crackdown on antiwar protests. As the nation watched on television, the area around the Democratic convention erupts in violence.

Nixon (republican) who is stereo typed as the problem became the President in 1969, that was 9 years after Democratic control and direction in Viet Nam. Nixon signs 26th Amendment in 1971, giving disenfranchised 18 year olds the vote. Nixon visits the People’s Republic of China, this gesture is seen by the North Vietnamese as an effort to create discord between themselves and their Chinese allies. !972 Nixon cuts troops dramatically and his Secret Peace Talks Revealed? In 1973 Nixon’s Cease-fire, is signed in Paris. Draft is ended!

If Nixon was the problem because it took him 4 years to undo what two democrat presidents did before him? Never expect revisionist journalism to put the time frame together, because Nielsen Ratings do not like thinkers, they like loyal listeners of opinion. I cannot help but think Bush may very well be viewed as a visionary someday, because contrarian perception sells.

Beautiful article! Well researched.
And you are absolutely correct in stating: “You get the government you deserve.”
Sadly that’s true.

Keep up the good work.
