The Democratic Party Should Be Deeply Ashamed!
As we look back on 50 years of this absurd war, I would like to remind the reader that President Lyndon B. Johnson said following in his first State Of The Union address delivered on 1/8/1964 (Emphasis added):
- “Let this session of Congress be known as the session which did more for civil rights than the last hundred sessions combined; … as the session which declared all-out war on human poverty and unemployment in these United States”
- “For the war against poverty will not be won here in Washington.”
- “This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America. I urge this Congress and all Americans to join with me in that effort.”
- “Our aim is not only to relieve the symptom of poverty, but to cure it and, above all, to prevent it. ”
Had anyone else but the President of the U.S. spoken these words, the person would have been declared insane or a warmonger on his own people.
