The war was only unpopular because the leftard swine in the media had been lying about it for years.

Back then they not only got away with constant lying, they got away with pretending to be loyal Americans just telling the truth as they saw it.

Almost no one had any idea that Walter Cronkite was a loathsome communist traitor until after he retired and published his book. Even that escaped the notice of many, if not most, Americans.

All our institutions are today raddled with enemies of the US Constitution, of God, of all that is good and decent. There are so many of them, and they are so evil, that the truth of the matter seems incredible. Most people, it seems, scoff at the truth because it seems to them so implausible.

Well, it’s time to wake the hell up, or be cast forcibly on the ash heap of history. Our enemies have no problem killing us, and we don’t even have the stones to throw them out of the country.
