Stayed quiet about McCarthy until attacks hit targets he personally cared about (against US Army & G. Marshall in particular) – but he vigorously enforced Brown vs Board of Ed. in Little Rock even though he personally disagreed with decision, a case of putting law & Constitution over ideology that we haven’t seen since.

On his way in he gave the country the worst choice of a #2/successor in the history of the world (except may for Paul von Hindenburg’s choice) – but on his way out he gave the greatest Farewell Address since Washington’s.

As I say, a mixed bag

Hmmm. Next time I’ll use the “Zionist State” instead, as calling Israel the “Jewish State” is an insult to Jews. Or at least it should be.

Oh, really? Wow. I find that statement to be astounding in its cluelessness.

By today’s standards Ike isn’t looking bad at all, and his two predecessors, FDR and Truman, also score high marks.

Truman recognized Israel. The original act of fealty to the Jooish State that thus begat the decline of America.

And FDR? FDR makes Nixon seem like Carter in comparison.

No matter what the Geneva Conventions say, there is ultimately only one rule in warfare – kill or be killed.

This country is fast going third-world and the Promethean bringer of Change seems far more concerned with making sure that Goldman Sachs is just fine than doing any of the things he said to get elected. People are getting more homeless on a daily basis, choosing between food and cloths, figuring that health care is simply not an option, and the rest of it while GS is reporting “blowout profits” on the taxpayer’s dime. (hey, i’ve got nothing against capitalism or making a profit, but cooked books, blown bubbles and the shadiness of the biggest players on the Street is a perversion.)

Capitain America’s been torn apart
Now he’s a court jester
With a broken heart
He said turn me around
And take me back to the start
I must be losing my mind
“Are you blind?!”
I’ve seen it all a mllion times
