Remember, if HRC gets in and sends U.S. troops on another invasion...

[Ken Burch]

All social change will stop for the rest of her term.

No victories in any fight against any form of bigotry will be possible.

The crushing of the Sixties freedom movements(all of which were crushed after we escalated in Vietnam) proves that.

Nothing can be worth putting ourselves through the LBJ nightmare again.

1. You might be right, but

Using LBJ is a bad example

[Ken Burch]

3. That's essentially her model

(without that tacky "War on Poverty" business, of course).

Remember what LBJ called Dr. King when he came out against staying in Vietnam.

2. I do equate HRC with Perpetual War and

For maintaining the status quo.

I don't think she will work to improve lives for the poor, the children, the aged, the sick, the veterans or any of the hard working people in America. I do think she will give big breaks to big banks and stick it to the people. I don't think the air will be cleaner or the water more drinkable.

I do think Bernie will work tirelessly to make this a more perfect union.

Why? Because he keeps it real for decades and she changes positions hourly.

4. But what of the poor, under-respresented MONEY that could be made from another war???

Think of the downtrodden, unpopular economic policies that would never be accepted by society unless it's at war!!!

[Ken Burch]

5. You're right...she feels greed's pain. n/t.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. I think she will be like Margaret Thatcher

Nothing like a war to gloss over economic woes.

7. I had a history professor who pointed out to us that all progressive movements

have been stopped by wars.

This would have been near the end of Nixon's first term when Great Society programs were being cut to help pay for Vietnam.

[Ken Burch]

10. Actually, Johnson started cutting Great Society funding in 1965-the year those programs were STARTED

because he cared more about his damn war than about actually doing anything serious to end poverty.

8. As long as we kill people not like us.

Right now it's Mooze-Limms. But it could be any brown, black, yellow, etc. people. If they are not Christians, even better! It doesn't take much groundwork. A couple weeks of media blitzing and we would bomb a Girl scout summer camp.

9. You have to view Syria as an investment opportunity

Then it all makes sense in a neocon, PNAC, Turd Way sort of thinking. Besides, she's taken UHC off the table for good, so there's lots of budget money to spend
