I think the American people are more savvy today than they were during the Viet Nam period.
They have more immediate access to information. Of utmost importance, they have access to alternative sources of information, notably the internet and talk radio--uncontrolled by the Old Media propaganda machine. And the Leftists' Propaganda Machine (Old Media) has lost its influence.
As more and more people wise up, they see the Leftists, their Propaganda Machine, and their Political Machine (the Democrat Party) in the rear view mirror--and feel a shudder of disgust--and relief--come over themselves.
America is healthy, optimistic, and ascendant, unlike Europe, which is decadent, suicidal, and on the way to oblivion.
More and more, Americans see the Left for what it is: the utterly destructive disease of decadence that has doomed Europe.
More and more as they realize the reality of the Left, Americans want nothing to do with this odious, destructive, suicidal, and morally vacuous sickness.

It is surprising the list of characters are the same but some of the names are changed. I am glad we have no new John Kerry though he and a blimp named murtha are still in character. Jane fonda has been replaced by sheman. The news media is traitorous as ever with new young liars. The people are still in the dark!

I hope you're right, but I do not share your optimism. It has been my experience (reinforced by the apathy that surrounded the film "United 93") that the attack of 9/11 is falling down the memory hole of many Americans. To many, it was merely a TV show. The fact that almost half the country voted for that traitor who wished to deal with islamic terrorism as a 'nuisance', bolsters my cynicism.
We here at FR are aware of most of what is going on, but far too many Americans are more concerned with 'American Idol' than they are with Able Danger.

We here on Freerepublic.com are most aware that the CLINTONS refused 3 free offers from the Sudan during the 1990's...
...to give us our terrorist enemy No. 1 OSAMA bin LADEN on a silver platter,
...before he could hit us real hard here at home after they had left our Oval Office.
The same CLINTONS who were on the side of our then terrorist enemy No. 1, Communist North Vietnam dictator HO CHI MINH, during the Vietnam War.
A Vietnam War that saw lifesaver Lt. RICK RESCORLA save the lives of 100's of his fellow hero soldiers in the heat of battle.

A Vietnam veteran that went on to save 1,000's of lives at the World Trade Center's Tower II on September 11, 2001.
After he had already predicted what would all come to pass there.
