as long as you dont mention all the social programs which failed it
Name specific social program failures and their costs. Let's see if it adds up to the cost of the Vietnam War.
How much did the Vietnam War cost? In direct military spending, alone, Vietnam cost the U.S. $784 billion in fiscal year 2011 dollars. That does not include the cost of human life, the lost labor during and after the war (due to death), or the vast majority of the health care costs for veterans, which will peak around 2020-2025.
We're still paying for the Vietnam War every time we treat a Vietnam vet, and it's going to get a lot more expensive over the next decade. ...unless, of course, you cut all veteran social programs. Do you want to do that?

Since when was Elizabeth Warren any expert at anything.. read here bio!
a one sided social activist.. thats it! what great company or industry did she create..
shit.. she is another idiot found in the teachers lounge from Obama University.
Warren was a Harvard Law School professor specializing in bankruptcy law after being a practicing lawyer for years. That means her credentials are way the fuck better than yours.
Nor have you done anything to discredit her work. I guess trying to do that would take too much reading.

Ever work for a people like Donald Regan ? I did..
Donald Regan would sell your ass into slavery to profit for himself if he could get away with it. I guarantee you that he never gave a rat's ass if you lived or die.

The Last Great President: John Kennedy and why.
byFreeSocietyFollow
116 Comments / 116 New
President John Kennedy was the last truly courageous and great U.S. President that this Nation had.
Kennedy a serious government reformist, with a deep understanding of American Revolutionary History.
Kennedy fought the corrupt Federal Reserve profiteers, and their monopolistic control over our Nation's money supply, in the tradition of our Founding Fathers, who had revolted against the similar Bank of England private Central Bank scheme, and he, like President Lincoln, printed debt-free, interest-free, "United States Notes" in 1963 (circumventing the debt generating "Federal Reserve Notes" system), which is the way that our Country was intended to work -- instead of the debt generating, Federal Reserve system that steals from taxpayers to enrich the global Banking elites ( the Rothchilds, J.P. Morgan, the Rockefellers, Chase, etc.)

Somehow I doubt that very much.

Neighboring nations became far more stronger and democratic after Saigon fell.
The Communist regime in Vietnam became isolated and the faith in Socialism crumbled even among their own citizens as many left for over decade. More over Vietnamese saw their own nation as being far more poor and corrupt with no opportunity compared to capitalist South Korea, Singapore, or Thailand which saw a huge boom as an industrial power.
Yes, many Vietnamese see South Korea what they too could have been. Ask anyone of them who migrated here. Left wing Hollywood keeps spinning and milking the war.. as they see it ... the reality today is much different.

I seen her talk many times.. Christ! the woman can nag you to death...
While my pinky has lots of experience.. it doesnt have a NAG factor ... LOL!
And thats what she does.. a NAG not a doer.. let her run an real business in a
competitive industry..
Yea.. she is also an advocate of free loaders...
"She helped to draft the commission's report and worked for several years to oppose legislation intended to severely restrict the right of consumers to file for bankruptcy. Warren and others opposing the legislation were not successful; in 2005 Congress passed the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005."

Ask what? If Khmer Rouge was a beacon on the hill for democracy?
The Khmer Rouge period (1975–1979) refers to the rule of Pol Pot, Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, Son Sen, Khieu Samphan and the Khmer Rouge Communist party over Cambodia, which the Khmer Rouge renamed as Democratic Kampuchea.
The four-year period cost approximately 2 million lives through the combined result of political executions, starvation, and forced labor.[1][2] Due to the large numbers, the deaths during the rule of the Khmer Rouge are often considered a genocide, and commonly known as the Cambodian Holocaust or Cambodian Genocide. The Khmer Rouge took power at the end of the Cambodian Civil War and were toppled with the invasion of Cambodia by neighbour and former ally Vietnam in the Cambodian–Vietnamese War, which left Cambodia under Vietnamese occupation for over a decade.

With a name like "Democratic Kampuchea" it must have indeed been a beacon on the hill for democracy in southeast asia.

Cambodia is another failed communist nation.. I never mentioned Cambodia.. as I stated, Thailand, Singapore, and South Korea did become successful. The communist nations become a killing field.

Understood. I was merely pointing out the neighboring countries which share a border with Vietnam - Cambodia, Laos and China did not "became far more stronger and democratic after Saigon fell".
Reagan was a great president. He knew how stupid majority of the middle class people were to believe in trickle down economy. So we should have a flourishing middle class after more than 20 years.

The opinion of someone who is pro-torture and for the killing of innocent children in Afghanistan means absolutely nothing to me or to anyone with intelligence or a moral backbone.

Wasn't me. Patrick emails dislikes, so check your email.
There is a line a conservative man will not cross. That line starts at Frank Sinatra.
LOL - I had been wondering who Disliked all the comments about Frank Sinatra, and why. Fair enough. That famous 1938 mugshot is a personal favorite, but probably not how he wanted to be remembered. RIP, Old Blue Eyes; today's youngins hardly knew ye.

LOL! sounds like a pro Al-Qaeda statement to me. Of course we killed lots of innocent civilians as we bombed Germany and Japan. And so did they.. You rather see dead Americans first ?

He kept us out of made up wars.
According to the Democrat logic, that they use for talking points, when asked to name one positive thing Obama has done.
It's nice to see them finally giving the gipper some credit where credit is due. At least Ronnie, didn't blame Carter for everything.
