The guys accomplishments were monumental and the policies he set in motion changed the country and made it better for all. Most don't realize this and cannot understand.

How about putting money into jobs and education instead of borrowing billions from China trying to "transform" the world. Iraq never attacked the US and was no threat to the US. The purpose of the military is to protect the country from attack or invasion, not to be sent around the globe on some unrealistic and immposible mission of remaking the world as we wish it were.

A great man. Soiled his legacy with Vietnam but he went further than even FDR in making this nation more civilized, modern, and compassionate.

"I will have those niggers voting democrat for the next 200 years!"

[Byron Motley]

Oh my God did this MAGGOT succeed!

[Vincent Jones]

LBJ “I’ll have those ni**ers voting Democratic for the next 200 years”

Did it work?

This much is true, but you are right we at least need to give people that chance. Otherwise, we are limiting success.

I feel we DO have a responsibility for those in our society that are in need, ESPECIALLY the children. I believe we need to set up a situation for all children to have something to 'grab' on to. In the end not all will grab for the chance.

[rar9518]

I know there will be, but it is up to us to at least make it possible for those kids to make the most out of there lives. They've dealt with hell and we can't make it any harder on them then it already is.
