Exactly. There is no such thing as a "democrat congress". What we see here
is the childish attempt on the part of the GOP to take a slap at the
Democratic party. The most famous proponent of the "democrat" slur was the
infamous alcoholic demagogue, Joe McCarthy.

The bottom line is we should never have been in Vietnam to
begin with. It's the same bottom line as with Iraq.
The reason that we lost in Vietnam is that the American
people finally realized that we should never have been
there. The justification for being there, the Domino
Theory, was a fraud, just as Iraq's possession of WMDs was a
fraud. |

We lost in Vietnam because Joihnson did not have the spine to do the Job
properly, which is the same reason North Korea is still a separate nation.
had Truman and Johnson done what they should have, Korea would have been
united in 1953, and Vietnam would have been united under a freely
elected government by 1968. |

No. The peace movement has stood for dictatorship and terrorism.
Actually, the GOP has stood for dictatorship and terrorism.
In the 1960s, the peace movement sided with the communist countries
against the United States.
Ronald Reagan's Crime Regime illegally supplied guns for a dictatorship in
direct defiance of the Unites States Congress.

A Democratic Congress did try to criminalize resistance to communist
aggression as they now try to criminalize resistance to terrorism.

Pacifists sided with Hitler before and all during World War II. Peace
movement types sought to disarm nations threatened by Nazi Germany
before the war and undermine the effort during the war.

Nixon had to settle for the same terms the North Vietnamese were

Historical truth. Pop quiz, asshole. Charles Lindbergh was a 1.

opposed America's involvement in WWII right up to Pearl Harbor, True or
