And no doubt you would do it too, you P.O.S.
Let’s start with Graham’s communications -
let’s require every communication he sends or receives be posted online for all to see.
How would you like that, Lindsey, you POS?
"[N]o mystical, Messianic movement -- and particularly not that of the Kremlin -- can face frustration indefinitely without eventually adjusting itself in one way or another to the logic of that state of affairs.
"Thus the decision will really fall in large measure in this country itself. The issue of Soviet-American relations is in essence a test of the overall worth of the United States as a nation among nations. To avoid destruction the United States need only measure up to its own best traditions and prove itself worthy of preservation as a great nation.
"Surely, there was never a fairer test of national quality than this. In the light of these circumstances, the thoughtful observer of Russian-American relations will find no cause for complaint in the Kremlin's challenge to American society. He will rather experience a certain gratitude to a Providence which, by providing the American people with this implacable challenge, has made their entire security as a nation dependent on their pulling themselves together and accepting the responsibilities of moral and political leadership that history plainly intended them to bear."
Unfortunately, the leadership of the US - Republican and Democrat - does not "measure up". And, like it or not, the world's judgment of America's worthiness has faded.

Graham is out of the ballpark on this one as well as many of his elitist ideas as to non politician citizens. His own words show how shallow he is in his comparison in one aspect but how dangerous he is as to a free citizen in another aspect. In his own words he noted in WWII the censorship was limited to overseas/military correspondence as possible war ‘fodder’ for the enemy. As I recall, there was no censorship on USA mail unless there was a court established a need for such. My memory also, before and during my service time, tells me that ordinary citizens had no routine fear of the Government opening their intra-USA mail just to see what folks were thinking about the war. I suggest that the people in South Carolina do some serious examining of this guy if they need assurance of their own civil, Constitutional rights. At least keep his attitude only to their state.
