"May they forever remain in the minority.

It's a wonder, with all the constant news reporting, public education, university pacifists and new age anything-goes folk that Republicans are within 16 mm.

I grew up on Eric Severeid and Walter Cronkite, David Huntley and Chet Brinkley. I even remember Murrow, although vaguely. My nightly news and the Idea of America came from my parents, my teachers and them.

Now I know that some of these same news icons are socialists, that Cronkite himself single-handedly helped destroy public morale in Vietnam; we left those people high and dry to die like dogs under the Communists, even though we had won every major battle in the field, sometimes brilliantly. Now I know that no single media person is good for anything except a laugh.

Now I recognize that the socialist spew I received from day one in my collegiate years was supposed to indoctrinate me into the fold, that I was supposed to take up academic arms against the industrial establishment as planned, and dedicate myself and my unique interests to its total demise. Hence was I taught Marxist theory, and, to teach Marxist theory to my fellows as a requirement for my grades.

Now I know a sitting President can sell our nuclear crown jewels to our avowed enemies and sell out our military with only a slap on the wrist of an impeachment over sexual relations with a subordinate.

I used to look down my nose at the hill folk I met, thinking them real hicks and backward. What is coming for this country has taught me that only their tight lipped suspicion keeps the internal enemies of the United States at bey.
