I don't know whether Cronkite is a secret communist, or just another unpatriotic numbskull liberal.
Numbskull liberals believe:
1. Whatever the American Government decides to do in foreign affairs must be wrong.
2) If social programs are failing, we need to spend more money on those programs.
3. We are evolving into a wonderful human race. We just need to exterminate or forcefully reeducate any conservatives who oppose our brave new world.
