At least, he got us out of Vietnam, the war that Democrats love to hate, and the war that Democrats started. The same war that leftists of the day tried to call Nixon's war.
Okie: I want you to know that all our governments, Democrat and Republican are scummy through and through and they care nothing, never have never will, for the people of other lands.
I don't accept that accusation. This country cared for Britain, since even before we were in the war we had Lend Lease to Britain. We care for Israel, whether or not that concern is self-serving. We care for Canada and Mexico, since they are on our borders. We care for many nations' ills, but are held back by that League of Nations type of organization in NYC.
The Democrats care, and the Republicans care. This country is made up of predominantly caring people.
Notice we don't vanquish our enemies. (Germany and Japan become industrial nations with our help after WWII.)
I believe our caring is a direct result of the country having a Christian heritage.
For any "sins of ommission" one might claim for this country, there are few "sins of commission." I believe, marking on a curve, we come out in the top percentile, when compared to most other nations.
Our only real blemish is towards our own; I'm talking about the shame of having once had slavery.
