1. Valuable stuff you're posting. I'm bookmarking all of 'em. Thanks.

2. You forgot

Blowing Vietnam up to the status of a Major land war in Asia. You also forgot that a Republican Administration ended the practice of chattle slavery in this country.

4. That would be a LIBERAL Republican Administration

but point well taken. Vietnam, yep. Can't argue with that either.

[tblue]

3. Yeah, he was great.

Not perfect, there were some serious flaws with some of his policies (e.g., media consolidation and NAFTA) but still he was pretty darn great. I wish he had been more of a true blue liberal.

(Of course, if I wanted a president to do everything I would do, I would have to run for POTUS myself and win, and that ain't gonna happen.)

5. And in the last 20 years, how many on that list have been gutted by Republicans?

It is terrifying to stop and look at how much progress they managed to reverse in such a short time.
