Really now? Let's see, my dad was killed in Vietnam and I am a Reagan era vet who voted for Reagan. I was raised by an Army vet (my adoptive father). You lose.

So yeah, I was 100% right about you, son. *head pat*

The people he attacked wanted to enslave us with communism. I don't exactly like everything he did but after the USSR fell everything he said was proven.

Civil War not 1950's.

I am not surprised that right wingers would be wetting their pants in appreciation for the king of scare tactics and fear baiting-they are working from his playbook today- McCarthyism is a blight on U.S. history, a shameful era of turning one against the other -big brother style government manipulation of the populus worthy of any communist country-
right. Joe was a blight.

unlike FDR actually tossing AMERICANS in jail for doing terrible things like setting their own prices for goods and services. that wasnt a blight but Joe helping to keep the soviets out of America was a terrible guy.

riiiight.

Hero?

A meatball sub is more an American hero than that lying drunk SOB will ever be
