...and Diem was assassinated with CIA backing under Kennedy's watch and Kennedy escalated to sending troops. Cherry pick much?
It appeals to the LCD. AT least you don't about people 'trying to be smart.'

I'm not the one being willfully ignorant of what happened before that. If you want me to defend any portion of Kissinger's foreign policy then please hold your breath.

@ the fuzzy trying to exonerate Kennedy and blame Eisenhower. You choose the stupidest things to argue.
Reading is tough. What do you think I meant when I said I am not going to defend any of the Kissinger era foreign policy? My point was the issues transcended partisan politics.
You don't have any clue at all, fattie.
what a stupid
This is where I first mentioned Kennedy
Then, post after post you tried to blame Eisenhower, then after being cornered you say you don't defend Kennedy foreign policy.
It's what i said to start with, wad.
I haven't done much research on JFK but Obama and Clinton were definitely bought off by corporate interests. I can't see how you can say they are great when they have played a role in increasing inequality levels in this country. It's funny a guy who is obsessed with racial issues in here would have love for Clinton considering under his presidency he passed welfare reform which made it harder for blacks to get welfare and pass laws that have increased the rate of incarceration in the black community. You simply dislike Bernie because he has pretty much stated indirectly that Obama's presidency was a failure policy wise. Honestly I don't think Bernie will be able to do any of the things he says he's going to do simply because congress and the senate won't allow it. I'm not down with either party because both are pretty much the same to me outside of social issues. Both parties are owned by corporations.
Hey fuzzy since you like to 420 BLAZE IT what do you think about Trumps views on marijuana?
I agree with Trumps position on marijuana.
Now Fuzzybrain will automatically choose the other side so he can argue more.
It really isn't an either/or. I agree. It is more a comment on our priorities.
We can do both. Why don't we?
If we are willing, as a nation to put up Trillions to "make us safe" on some stupid war, why can we not ensure that we invest in our next generation?
Because the boomers paid for their own ludicrously cheap college, so they think everyone should have to. You know, despite the fact that the economic climate is nothing like it was in the 60s and 70s. Boomers aren't exactly the best at comprehension.
I can't believe in-state tuition and fees come out to almost $10,000 a year at a piece of bottom of the barrel school like UTSA now.
My g/f's private school is now like $48k... a semester (she teaches there occasionally so she always stays up to date on the cost). ing insanity. Good school but what's even more unbelievable is that boomers refuse to acknowledge the differences. Must have been nice to grow up in the 50s and 60s when you could rent a nice place for 6 cents a day or buy a house on 3 month's salary.
the cost of college, even state colleges and community colleges has gone up just about as badly as medical care.
The 99% are getting ed, wealth-sucked by all these big orgs, simply because they can.
Isn't is also around the same for a top-notch univ like UT-Austin?
Look, man. I haven't voted for a dem in over a decade. I think GOP supports such as yourself are deluded and self-centered. That does not make your binary understanding true. There are more than two ways of political thinking; not being for the GOP does not mean I am pro Dem. It just means you have to dumb things down to understand them.
I hold the Eisenhower, Kennedy and LBJ administrations all responsable thus me saying it transcends your partisan stupidity. Me telling you to look up the Eisenhower admin when you try and heap all the blame onto Kennedy does not mean I am saying Kennedy is innocent.
If anyone here is a partisan hack, its the guy who thinks Ailes news company isn't biased. Fair and balanced my ass, fattie.
UT's not top notch unless for grad school, but the prices are pretty similar.
Don't these count? And UT Austin Computer Science undergrad pretty much gets in the same pile as MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon for internships at Google, FB, MS, Amazon (not only grad students which is #9).

Say what you want about Sanders but he's been consistent and absolutely correct on major issues over the last two decades that have had a serious negative impact on this country. I don't think it's all about "free stuff". His policies are extreme and will never see the light of day because they'll never get through Congress anyway but he's been speaking for the people for the last two decades and that's why his message is getting across now. He was the one sounding the alarms for years while the other braindead politicians were asleep at the wheel or being bought pushing through deregulation, voting for dumb wars, ignoring what wall street was doing, etc.
Clinton's repeal of the the Glass Steagall Act was a monumental up. Bernie "Nostradamus" Sanders voted against it and predicted the consequences in fire and brimstone right down to the last detail. This stupid decision snow-balled into catastrophe and under a Sanders presidency this wouldn't have happened.
The main thing Sanders warned everyone about over and over and over was throughout the 2000's was Wall street and their gambling with tax payer money and he predicted it would be the American people to bail them out when it all came crashing down. And when the 2008 crash happened every dummy in America was shocked about Americans losing all their ....except Bernie because he was telling everyone and their mother what was going on for almost a decade and the dullards never listened. And guess where 800 billion in tax dollars went? To wall street and the big banks just as he predicted. Some of those CEOs laughed to the Cayman Islands with millions in bonuses for running their banks into the ground while regular Americans lost their jobs, homes, and retirement. This wouldn't have happened under a Sanders presidency.
The Iraq war. Bernie had the guts to vote against the Iraq war when it was very unpopular to do so after 9/11. Dumb Americans wanted blood and spineless politicians (Hillary included) bowed down to peer pressure because they thought Americans would think they were weak if they didn't fall in line. Sanders didn't believe what the Bush administration was selling and called out every single thing that could go wrong from rushing into conflict. And guess what? Everything he said happenedHe had the foresight to vote against a stupid war which cost us 2+ trillion in war spending, 5000 American lives (thousands more injured and maimed), and de-stabilized the middle east which as a consequence we're still pouring money and resources into never-ending conflicts this very day.
These dumb decisions have cost this country trillions of dollars and ruined millions of lives along the way. This dude has been calling it right all along and it's like people are just now starting to listen to the angry old man lol.

It is hard to get people to realize that the world has changed.
As I remember it, my tuition/fees was about $400 per hour.
Then again, minimum wage was $1,25 too.
how is the ratio that different now?
I'm seeing tuition/fees at UTSA to be $624 per hour with a $7.50 minimum wage.
College prices vary widely. But as I posted above, one can have a nation-class education at UT-Austin for around $10k a year - that's a bargain. University of Florida has yearly tuition of $6+K - very reasonable. A lot is about the choices people make (sometimes from lack of knowledge) or how they choose to spend their money. Now if you want to complain why some of the lesser state universities are the same tuition as the flagships - that's another argument.
Dude y'all really want me to go in on Bernie...who is like literally 3 coughs from death....a mutha er that look like he's an extra on The Walking Dead?
Ok wait then I will....y'all done ed up now
What year did you go to college?
Appears it was when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
