(11,464 posts)protesting was groovy and all that back then
We all did it, we protested for peace, and McCarthy and McGovern were kool people, nice guys and come on, does anyone in the world think either was going to win, even if we voted or wanted to vote for them???
And in retrospect, however, it directly led to Nixon.
Anyone tell me if
Henry Kissinger is a favorite of theirs?
this is 2013 NOT 1968.
1968 led to Nixon, by selling out LBJ
50 wasted years after that.
and Nixon sabatoged the peace talks
so were we better off with Nixon???
this fake parallel people are running with is bull.
IMHO.
again, Nixon led to the Bush's.
We can cure cancer, but in 1968 we couldn't cure some of them.
as Benjamin Franklin said
An ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure.
He seems to have been talking about drones there.
Here it is if they can keep it means to me- Protect the thing he gave us, yeah, by using drones if it comes to it, after dilligent detective work, is what he means.
BTW-speaking of the constitution- all of this IS AUTHORIZED as per the rules.
Don't like Congress?
Vote them out.
but it is legal and authorized and none of the rightwing would say get rid of it, would they?
or would they?
It took republicans to help Lincoln(who did the same thing but drones weren't around then), and it took republicans to help LBJ get the acts signed, because of the racist part of the democratic party back then led by Wallace and the others.(Again, how many votes did Wallace pull from HHH in 1968, that would have gone to LBJ, a southerner had he run.
We should have been begging LBJ to run in 1968, IN RETROSPECT it is easy to see.
IMHO
because the bad thing LBJ did in the war would have been done by any president.
But the great things LBJ did would only have been done by him, at that time.
And losing was not an option in 1968, where we were in a second to second countdown
against Russia as witness by the Man on the Moon race.
