Liberals absolutely love Vietnam, especially the fall of Vietnam.

They love it. It gives them orgasms. It lives on in their dreams where it is their escape from adolescence, and in their waking hours, it is their eternal fall back into it.

For me, everything evil, destructive, faithless, vindictive, stupid, controlling, statist, petty, childish, incompetent and most of all, anti-American about liberals is encapsulated in Vietnam.

Before Vietnam, it would be incomprehensible to most Americans that people like those protesters with their Chairman Mao and Che Guevara posters would ever be elected to office. Now it is seemingly impossible to most of us that nearly any politicians elected who deviate from that template.

It’s almost like a pre-req now to love mao and che to be a viable candidate for (s)election. I gotta take part of the blame since I’m party of that generation and obviously didn’t do enough to stop it. Of course I had other priorities like holding a job, raising a family and propping up the entitled asshats with my tax dollars. The 60’s and 70’s turned me against the media and not believing much of what they’ve had to say since then.

Dude was an anti-American chickenshit, and it showed even when he was “trying” (supposedly) to hide it.

Eh.

You made the same mistake the rest of us did...we assumed that they were, at their core, Americans like us.

Boy, did we ever get that wrong.
