Sad thing is we didn't even need to smack them hard, the Shah had them under his boot. We just needed to keep supporting our friends. The traitor Carter destabilized the whole world.
If there was one man in the world who did not deserve to live long and prosper, it was that evil old communist. He's pretty much as bad as the pig ararat as far as I'm concerned.
He had me fooled when I was a kid with the toothy grin, which turned into a snarl when things went bad, think National Malaise. Then he fooled me again with the Habitat for Humanity. Now I see him for what he is. A bitter old leninist on the scrap heap of history looking up at the legend of Ronaldus Magnus.
I've been wrong about so much in my life.
You and me both,,wrong about so many things.
I loved Jimmie when he came on the scene. I should have been warned by that "I am one of you" personae,,the walking down Penn Avenue afte rthe inauguration with Rosalyn in her cloth coat. And now I just detest him, that bitter American hating supercilious old skunk. God, he did more to hurt this country than any president I know.
And I loved Bill Clinton when he arrived on the scene, so handsome and young and my generation. And now I see he is the same depraved old America betraying toad.
And I didn't like Reagan when he started out. I saw him as a phoney actor with no brains.
I don't know how I could have been so wrong so much.
We all wanted to be fooled about Carter. Everybody thought he was the right man at the right time, but as things unfolded then and in subsequent years it became apparent that he should not only not have ever been President, he should never have risen to a position of any national influence.
