My point is that in the course of preparing for the debate I selected a quote from George Wallace.

Don’t ask me what it was, or why I chose it.

What I recall is being admonished for citing him.

Ya...47 years later I can’t imagine what he’d have to offer on Foreign Aid either....but I was 13, so who knows?

“Wallace’s foreign policy positions set him apart from the other candidates in the field. “If the Vietnam War was not winnable within 90 days of his taking office, Wallace pledged an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops. . . .

Wallace also called foreign-aid money ‘poured down a rat hole’ and demanded that European and Asian allies pay more for their defense.”[4] These stances were overshadowed by Wallace’s running mate, retired Air Force general Curtis LeMay, who implied he would use nuclear weapons to win the war.[5]”

Oh, so you quoted Him Who Must Not Be Spoken Of. Thought crime No. 23, Citing the Unmentionable, and No. 12, Attempting Conflation of Established Liberal Truth. Bad, very bad! This is all serious Thought Crime — you could have gotten 25 years! So why are you running around loose? Did they make you swallow one of those HF DF pills?
