What? No quagmire???

Didn't Dos Passos know about quagmire???

The word's been around since 1580, according to Webster. And Dos Passos couldn't find a way to work it in to a general description of how Its-All-Americas-Fault!

Another big failing: How could he fail to blame the war on the Republicans???

I know, it was a Demo administration. But nevertheless, he could have at least blamed the capitalists. Joe Stalin did. When asked to participate in the Marshall Plan, he said he would not to contribute to such an obvious exercise of "capitalist domination of Europe". (Maybe Dos Passos picked up on that thought after Uncle Joe spoke.)

The author John Dos Passos was a screaming left wing Stalin fan for many years. Read some of his works from the 1930's when he was actually a communist party member. Will send shivers down your spine.

Read some excerpts from his book, U.S.A.

It is a trilogy of commie/socialist pap!

If I had the time right now, I would post some of it. Artfully written, I will give him that... but then, isn't most of that commie pap written that way? The Devil hiss-self always did have a way with words. Just ask Eve.
