Obviously, otherwise why would polling have shown that American conservatives overwhelmingly supported the Iraq war for years and years?
I do not. The Dems, by and large, are less warlike even now. And I fully expect that any effort to make an antiwar coalition with elements of the conservative movement would result in the GOP making hay over the Dems’ “soft on” or “not being tough on” whoever the foreign enemy of the day was.
Vietnam. El Salvador. Nicaragua. Freakin’ Grenada. Panama. Gulf War 1. Iraq. Would’ve done Iran if Iraq hadn’t turned into a disaster.
He’s going to say those weren’t true conservatives, or other such nonsense, even though by polling, American conservatives overwhelmingly supported almost all of those military actions.
N/m, answered.
If you want peace, work for justice.
Nitpicking, but it’s an important one. Bill Clinton’s long rambling speech was the nomination speech for Michael Dukakis. The keynote speech was given by Ann Richards and it’s still well known today. It has the line about George Bush being born with a silver boot in his mouth.
OH, yes please, tell us who these “mutated liberal neoconservatives” were…Reagan? Cap Weinburger? Oliver North? 
So what are we going to blame the mutation on: radiation from Three Mile Island? Toxic waste from Love Canal? McDonalds? :D:dubious:
LOL @ Henry Kissinger being labelled a “mutated liberal neoconservative”.
Since a “liberal neoconservative” is itself a mutation, what does the mutation of the mutation look like? Today’s conservatives?
Well, Vietnam can be laid at the feet of JFK and LBJ.
Funny, I’ve been here less, but last time I was here the Dope was a lot more bullish on Gabbard than they are now.
And Ike. It’s not like Jack woke up one day, nudged Marilyn snoring next to him, and said, “Y’know, what’s going on in SE Asia just ain’t right…” out of the blue. Eisenhower was very keen on stamping out those Godless Commies where’er they might be.
Of course, that tree-hugging peacenick Dick sure did his part to wind the whole mess down, amirite? 
The Gabbard campaign is already in disarray. She might make a couple of the early debates, but no way she lasts until the end of the year.
She was a prominent, vocal Bernie supporter AND she has one of the most conservative voting records among House Democrats. She’s the candidate who can unite the entire Democratic Party…in saying “Go the fuck away!”
The timing of her Presidential announcement surprised her own aides?? That’s a downright Trumpian level of stupidity.
Lizard People!!!:eek:
Oh, it’s worse than that. Her announcement a week or two ago was just that she would shortly be announcing that she would be running.
But now, 18 days later, she’s yet to make a formal announcement that she’s running. What the hell is she waiting for? Her lane to fill up with other, better candidates?
Stick a fork in her. She’s less ready to run than Wesley Clarke was back in 2004.
I’ll buy the Lizard People theory before I buy into Reagan and Ollie being liberals. :dubious:
There were “advisers” in Vietnam under Eisenhower. CIA, too, I think…can’t remember.
Her apology, FWIW. There is also audio recording of her apologizing to LGBT organizations in Hawaii and she has a good voting record on the issues. She’s far from the only person to have been raised by activist anti-gay parents who’s gone on to re-evaluate and change their views. Barack Obama was opposed to gay marriage for part of his presidency.
Yes, after Dien Bien Phu, we took up some of the slack from the French.
