It's still here and still socialist since the late 19th century! What a great "tradition". It's just even worse now.
90% tax brackets and playing footsie with the Soviet Union sure was "patriotic".
What is wrong with welcoming them to "our side" as they become aware of what our Nation faces?
RE: "90% tax brackets and playing footsie with the Soviet Union sure was 'patriotic'."
I was no fan of Party leader JFK but he got a lot of Dem votes with his "missile gap" and started the initiative to lower taxes. There were Republicans who wanted to trade with the U.S.S.R. just like those today who have no problem "free tradin'" away our technology and production to Red China.
I got no use for a Republican Party either that has creatures like Nelson Rockefeller.
He told his staff that, in the words of his public relations head, Stuart Spencer, "We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race." I've been angry since 1964 about how Goldwater was maligned by both Dems and "moderate" Republicans like Rockefeller and Scranton. I remember columns following the election asking, "Did we go too far destroying Goldwater."
I loathe both parties.
There was a bit of sunshine during the Reagan years but you got Republicans who seem to want to forget those years and now say of Sarah Palin, "We have to destroy Sarah Palin as a member of the human race."
