CB, you don't seem to read very well. I give Nixon credit for his environmental legislation. Yes, he didn't get out fast enough. The two previous administrations were handicapped by the domino theory. They were wrong. Kissinger had the sense to see through that, but he let Nixon delay a peace plan until he was reelected. Countless people died for that. Giving money to people who haven't earned it is the battle cry of conservatism. It translates into," I've got mine; if you don't, that's just TS. Never mind the injunction about my brother's keeper. The current economy is good to some people. Whether or not they deserve it is open to question. Those whom it abandons aren't automatically to blame.
I dont read very well, you say? Im obtuse, you say? And yet you ask where you give Johnson and Kennedy a pass on the Vietnam Nam war?
Right here in this post you made in the middle of our conversation yesterday. It wasnt their fault, you are saying. They were handicapped by the Domino Theory.
I cant guess what you think Bill. I can only go on the words you type. And right there, you absolved Kennedy and Johnson because they were stuck with some theory that they had to follow, while at the same time blaming Nixon for not shucking that same theory fast enough.
Thats where you gave them a pass.
Very big of you to give Nixon credit for his environmental legislation. Too bad your partisanship blinds you to his other successes. You have unwittingly exposed the shallowness of your thinking and the extreme bias that guides you. In case anyone was in doubt, we now know conclusively how much credibility we need assign your claims and positions here.
Edit to add: when I look back over our conversation from yesterday, there are so many falsehoods or errors put forth by Bill, so many direct questions Ive posed unanswered. In truth an inability to respond directly to each claim or counter claim. It took me three posts in another thread to get Bill to admit that the Mueller report exonerated Trump of collusion with the Russians. Three times asking for a direct answer to a direct question. I started that line of questions because Bill did a drive by slander of Trump on the question of Russian collusion. Bill represents the Left. Not interested in discussion nor results. Simply attaining and keeping power in order to tell others how to live. What small minded people.
