I never voted for any Kennedy, never will.

And it was the deep state that killed both JFK and RFK and MLK and the spirit of J Edgar Hoover is alive and well in the FBI. Now chew on that and wonder why they hate Trump so much but went to great lengths to protect men like Clinton, Bush and Obama.

Don't forget, Europe, Germany, and Berlin. But FDR wasn't a contributor to any of that - he died in 1945. Stalin died in 1953, long before Vietnam.

And let's not forget, we never did declare war on North Korea - it was a "police action".

If that's the case, then why didn't we go to Rwanda when 800,000 thousand people there were being slaughtered? Instead, we go to the Middle East where - surprise, surprise - there's oil!
