Heinrich330. You have got it all wrong , the pinky loving people are not Liberals they support Totalitarian Communist dictatorships like Vietnam or Fascists like Saddam or are apologists for Jihadist suicide murderers.They support people that kill gays and repress women.

Sorry not repress women , I meant to say kill them, Just like they shot that Policewoman in Afghanistan yesterday, The pinky people mostly live in the west and are privileged and romanticize tyranny

Extremely ... ( 1 week ago by allgoo19)

Extremely informative.
Kennedy wanted to end the war in Vietnam, that clearly explains why he was assassinated and who were the drive behind it. If people knew the truth, they would have known what would follow. People, are you ready for the president Obama assassination? Hopefully, Biden won't be next Johnson.

Scones55555: You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Making broad generalizations about a large group of people like that automatically makes you wrong, as exceptions are inevitable.
In short; You'd best be trolling. Because if you're serious, you're an idiot.

"Pro-war people" ... ( 1 week ago by HolyMotherofGrid)

"Pro-war people" very often ARE stupid (i.e. in the sense of not using much common sense...): it is not difficult to make them look that way. "War is the last refuge of the incompetent." - competent leaders do their VERY best to avoid warfare, by being alert for developing circumstances which might lead to violent conflict, and doing something about them before they boil over.

Obama indeed stands ... ( 1 week ago by HolyMotherofGrid)

Obama indeed stands a good chance of being killed, for a variety of reasons (all of them evil, i might add!!). BUT, i think he picked a good replacement for himself. Biden is not as progressive as many would like, but he is intelligent, very well-informed, experienced, rational and level-headed. I think that in a crisis he would not be prone to making decisions such as those which led to many of the wars the USA has started or escalated. I think that he could handle "3 a.m." phone calls well.

Brain Washing 101
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country. --- Hermann Goerin

If KENNEDY was such a great man, then why didn't he realize that USA's self-serving policies in Vietnam were Morally & Factually wrong???? Kennedy did as much as Nixon to exploit Weaker countries.

That, and we are still searching for Saddam's WMDs in Iraq.

Wow what a load of ... ( 3 days ago by EasyEs)

Wow what a load of crap, resting the entire argument on the very very poor assumption that Ho Chi Min was a nationalist, and the communist were nationalist in motives. I mean it isn't like Vietnamese intellectuals who were pro nationalist were murdered by Ho Chi Min and his followers, even friends of his upon learning of their nationalist tendencies were handed over to the FRENCH!
