Thanks, Ted, From the War Zone

There is an amended saying I will relay to you "Those who fail to learn history are d@mned to repeat it. Those who fail to learn history accurately? Why, they are merely d@mned."

The genesis of our involvement began with DDE. Do a Google since that seems to be the limits of your academic achievements.

JFK did NOT create the US Army Special Forces... They were in place for nearly 10 yrs before JFK saw them on 12 OCT 1961 @ Fort Bragg. (They were even preceded by the First Special Service Force - the bi-national - Canada & US who wore a red arrowhead as their shoulder sleeve insignia) He did authorize the funding and "The Green Beret" as the official headgear of the US Army Special Forces.

Blame the Republican President Dwight Eisenhower - he was the one who started our involvement in Vietnam back in 1954, when he first sent American Military 'Advisers'!

As if Obama's Kevorkian Hell Care wasn't already bad enough, it has become apparent that all of our IRS information will be used by the Health Plan's death panel to determine who gets cheaper care. All of our financial information will be accessed by the Commie Care Commissar for the purpose of wealth re-distribution.

This WILL result in our personal financial info being made public. imagine the problems that WILL result from this. The IRS makes frequent mistakes, as all beauracracies do, but interfacing the two biggest in our country can only end one way, BADLY!

The insertion of the IRS records into the Commie Care death panel's purview is the perfect nexus for Big Brother controlling every imaginable aspect of our lives. The Commie Care Commissar would be able to see who contributed to poltical organizations, for instance. Imagine the fate of dissenters and opponents of the current admin under this system. Penalties and denied care would be perfectly predictable from an administration like Obama's. This is Obama's GRAVE NEW WORLD.

This is just another ominous indicator of the radical leftist nature of this totalitarian scheme.

Openyourseyes unfortunately is not a good screen name for you because obviously your eyes and mind are closed. you have been blinded by your own ignorance when it comes to socialism and what it means. the health bill is so far removed from what socialism is, but of course i think you know that. you just want to close your eyes.. put your head in the sand and spread lies and fear.

What part of Sen Kennedy voted AGAINST the deployment didn't you understand? Freeking wingnuts living in their own reality yet again...Don't bother them with something as minor as FACTS-they can't handle that reality.

Either you are ignorant, writing about things you know nothing about, or -- not surprisingly -- you are, like so many other neocons, a liar. Either way, it's not to your credit. Ted Kennedy was the most vociferous vote against the war. Also, it's a constant repub-n lie that he and others voted against protective geer for the military in the war. They voted against bills designed to prolong the war, some of which the repub-s purposely packed with these elements for one purpose: to embarrass the anti-war votes.

That is a dumb comment. We liberals are mad because Bush did NOT put the neccessary troops in Afghanistan to find bin Laden. Actually, the problem was that the Bush family and bin Laden family have always been quite close. We liberals hate bin Laden for what he did on 9/11/01 and we want him to be exterminated while you neocons are willing to give him a pass since he and his friends caused the downfall of the USSR. Personally, I'd rather have a Soviet Union and a dead bin Ladin from Soviet guns which would mean that those two buildings would still be standing in New York.

kinda myopic, no?
