I am currently skimming Michael Linds book on Vietnam. Vietnam is the Left favorite war and everything gets colmpared to the prism olf Vietnam to the demented leftist Utopians. Vietnam also marks the end of the Scoop Jackson anti Communist liberals. Now Liberals are defined by fellow traveling or colaberationalist dupes or useful idiots like John Kerry, Tom Harkin, Ron Dellums, John Conyers and the Senator from Chapaquidic. There may be a few Patriotic liberals like Joe Lieberman and Govenor Richardson but nationaly the party has gone in the toilet by catering to vocal far left communist blame America first types.
on the last page the author mentions the anti war coalition from WW1 to Vietnam has been the same Marxist, Isolationist and Pacifists. I will try to research the Peace movement of WW1. However in WW2 the Marxists started out as prowar until Stalin allied himself with Hitler. When Hitler double crossed Stalin they became the loudest pro war voices.
The difference today is that we have zero real pacifists. Isolationists are largely some goofy Buchanan followers. We have plenty of Marxists alligned with and collaberating with elements of the Democratic party. The progressive caucus speaks and is directly tied to these crypto Communist groups like ANSWER, Code Pink, The National Lawyers Guild etc.
The Democrats keep failing to understand that by not offering a reality based pro American alternative to the Communist agitprop they are loosing America. Bush lied troops died plays well with College faculty, Hollywood and the anti American salons of Europe but it is cement shoes in Walmarts and Churches. Most of America sees a typical peace protest and is aghast at the aging hippies, communists, Muslim Nationalists and assorted odd causes that have nothing to do with Peace like Mumia Jamal cop killer.
America is not served by a Democratic party that is captive to the whims and colaberates with anti American activists. In short we need more Scoop Jackson and less Barbra Boxer types. You will not see it because the DNC will not read the hand writing on the wall.
