FINGER POINTING

FINGER POINTING

When Republicans point their finger at Obama, they should keep in mind that three other fingers pointing back at themselves. The fact is that Republicans are as devoted to socialist programs and foreign wars as Democrats are, notwithstanding their pro-free-enterprise and peace rhetoric.

Some 40 years ago, both liberals and conservatives sent some 58,000 men of to their deaths thousands of miles away, in Vietnam, in one of those foreign wars that are so beloved to both conservatives and liberals. The rationale for sending those men to their deaths, along with killing more than a million Vietnamese people, was the communist threat, a threat that was considered by conservatives and liberals to be even more frightening than the terrorist threat today.

We were told that if these American men weren’t fighting and dying in Vietnam, the dominoes would start falling and finally end with a communist conquest of the United States. We were told that the communists were one gigantic block of people, led by the Chinese communists and Soviet communists.

So none is without sin--no none. America is a nation of warriors, so be it, but let's be sure that we are fighting to preserve our liberty], not the fortunes of the owner's of this country.

With Love and Kindness,

THE HATMAN
