It is all selling a point of view to a willing audience. Toyota sells the point of view that it's cars are safer and more reliable. Budweiser sells the point of view that it's beer makes hot girls flock to you. And Chomsky sells the point of view that somehow America is an evil empire. I just find it ironic that the icons of the Western left decry the evils of capitalism while reaping the millions of benefits from it while the hypocrisy goes unchallenged.
@naordie It wasn't Kennedy; LBJ made it an American war. While yes it was a Democratic president who made the decision; he HAD NO CHOICE. Listen to the LBJ tapes. He knows he's between a rock and a hard place. Guys like you were waiting for any opportunity to call LBJ a weakling on Communism; Guys like you would have started WW3 instead in your blinkered militarism. Your reactionary philosophy pushed the US into that war.
Just as you pushed us into Iraq and now you want war with Iran.
@naordie I remind you of the Cold War; the Domino Theory the prevailing concern. So yes, advisors -while seemingly innocuous- is easily an open door to commitment which IT WAS. Even you cannot be this obtuse.
Can you imagine if JFK/LBJ had abandoned South Vietnam - as corrupt as its president was - to the North? Nixon and the GOP would have had a field day; just as you are now pretending to be a stalwart paragon of restraint when you can't even keep your cool over Chomsky LOL you fail so hard.
@naordie lol your foolhardy jingoism is only exceeded by your empty bluster; your name-calling is just further proof that you can't argue facts so you argue epithets.
If you followed Chomsky's work you'd know he's not a communist. His work is clear: he wants an educated and empowered electorate that is no longer swayed by the artificial hysterias fomented by the moneyed interests. This is identical to Thomas Jefferson's belief. I guess he's a commie libturd too.
@slashisgod9299 I appreciate your honesty. Unfortunately the Conservative movement has been hijacked by the John Birch types. Anything Left of their belief is vilified as Socialist. If they held the Founders to the same standard one would conclude they too were proto-Socialists. They weren't anti-tax and they didn't approach government as a problem; they used government to solve problems. Jefferson supported public ed & Adams signed a healthcare law in 1798. This is all conveniently overlooked.
@GnomesAmok Kennedy DID NOT have to send combat troops. DO NOT BLAME REPUBLICANS for what KENNEDY did! We send advisors everywhere, today we have them in over a dozen countries. I read history, not fuckin libturd fairytales.
Can you fuckin idiots ever own up to our own shit?
God bless America We hope
