As we attempt to drain the swamp, it is important to remember how old the devils of division are in DC.

My friend Tom Correa spotted something we should always remember. And always remember to despise those who crippled this nation back then.

Sorry, I got the source URL wrong. It works now as the lead article, but won’t in the future.

It should have been:

http://www.americancowboychronicles.com/2017/10/a-faulty-retelling-of-vietnam-war.html

That is the link to the actual article.

Yes, indeed.

I’d rather forget Traitors Jane and John.

John Kerry’s claim to fame will always be a nuclear armed Iran.

By the time President Nixon resigned office on Aug. 9, 1974, the Vietnam War was all but won and the South Vietnamese were confident of securing a permanent victory.

If Nixon had done what he did to get the POWS back and peace treaty signed the week after he took office the war would have ended in 69

Nixon ran in 68' promising to end the draft. Instead he extended it in 71'

He finally pulled out of Vietnam in 73' with terms he could have got in 69'. A couple hundred thousand NVA were left in the South.

Amazingly, the war went on...

Imagine, what the US would have been like if the ComDems had not taken control?

A breath of fresh air.

I’d like to print it out, roll it into a tube, have it bronzed, then go around whacking leftards on the noggin with it.

There are many, even here on FR, who would profit from deep study of this post.

Nixon should have reduced Hanoi to ashes.

They did not commit the atrocities alleged in the unforgivable lies John Kerry described to a congressional committee so prominently featured by Mr. Burns.

I didn't watch Burns' version so I don't know if he mentioned it, but what most don't know is, this was un-sworn testimony. In fact, it really wasn't testimony but a statement.

Kerry sued the swift boat vets over "Stolen Honor". The swifties sued back (Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation, et al. v. Kenneth Campbell, et al.)

Because of "discovery" and "depositions". Kerry dropped his lawsuit as did Campbell drop his. ...Kenneth Campbell was deposed. Among the first thing he disclosed was that this was the first time he had actually been put under oath in over 35 years of "testifying" about Vietnam "war crimes." Neither he nor any of his fellow "war criminals" – Kerry included – had ever been sworn in at any hearings, not before the Senate, the House of Representatives, or anywhere.

Linebacker II did. They rebuilt though.

Probably the worst part of the series. Burns gushed over Kerry and his testimony.

He was rougher on Jane Fonda than I expected.

Thanks for quote and link.

I knew he was a miserable liar, but had not seen that article.

It’s the ComDem way, they must lie, if they told the truth no one would ever elect them.

This is the reason I don’t watch or read Ken Burns.

Fonda will always be, for my remaining days, remembered as a urinal sticker for which she so richly deserves.

Next year Baby Jane and some of her friends will get a little media present she ain’t gonna like.

Stick around, you’ll. You’re gonna like it, in spades.
Trust me! I’m the good guy on this.

North left out the monkey wrench campaign by Nixon to sabotage the 68 peace talks.

I did not know that, about democrat-controlled Congress cutting off aid to South Vietnam in 1974. I did know they were overrun in 1975.
