Nixon was a Democrat? Who knew?

[headstamp 2]

The Democrats in Congress walked away.

[21twelve]

No - after Nixon, and after the Paris Peace treaty. Once Nixon was out the North tested the waters - with no aid (as promised) coming from Democratic Congress to help out the south. And like a two-year old seeing that mom isn't going to stop him from stealing a cookie, he swipes the whole jar.

Numerous parallels can be be made today.

Was just helping my daughter with her history (Revisionist crap). One of the essay questions was compare and contrast the Vietcong victory in Vietnam with the Iraq war?

I had to explain to her that after Tet, the VC weren't really a factor. And after the NVA took over the south, the VC was dissolved (most of them were northernors by this time anyway), and southern communists were taken out of power on the chance that they had been tainted by living in the south for so long.

It was the Democrat controlled Congress under Ford that stopped the funding at the most critical time.

No Centurion, Ford was President. The Democrat controlled Congress refused to fund the effort the peace.
Kinda like the current Republican Congress refused to fund Obama’s legalization of wetbacks.
Oh wait, THAT did not happen.

Are you uninformed or simply an idiot?
