What horrid people.
Idiots. High octane stupidity.
Diem? Ngo Dinh Diem is in a category of one. There was nobody else like him. In spite of his faults he was so much better a person than JFK who plotted in the oval office to have him overthrown and murdered because he would not play ball the way JFK wanted him to play ball.
Kennedy was busy with his affairs from Mafia mistresses to LSD proponents and after having Diem killed he was assassinated just three weeks later.
The only great tragedy of the McCarty era was that Joe was a grandstanding nitwit whose over the top antics helped to discredit his cause and create a moral defense for socialists to play on the minds of shallow thinkers.
The nation would be a lot better off if he’d been comparatively dull and we kept our proverbial feet on the necks of nitwits like in the video.
People like that should be UNEMPLOYABLE, and certainly kept out of any position of Trust.
Alexandr Solzhenitsyn,s Gulag Archipelago should be required reading for high school seniors and college freshman.
These people are yet another reason to never get rid of your guns.
Franco was never nearly as bad as he has been painted. I read a Spanish written history of Spain and they author was pretty even handed with Franco. He was no saint, but he was also protecting the realm against an illegal Soviet backed civil war. Leftists from all over the world, America included came to essentially fight for the Comintern. Franco also had the decency to refuse to back Hitler in WWII. Hitler was infuriated.
