One for you history buffs that I bet you didn't know! I sure didn't!!!! In 1975, President Ford was left to manage the difficult ending of the Vietnam War.

President Ford went to Congress for a relief package to allow American personnel and our allies to evacuate. However, there was ONE US SENATOR who opposed any such support. The result was the embarrassing and hurried evacuation from the roof of the American embassy in Saigon.

This senator reveled in the embarrassment and did everything he could to leverage it politically against Ford. Despite the efforts of this U.S .Senator--President Ford managed to rescue 1,500 South Vietnamese allies prior to the country's fall.

Had President Ford not acted quickly, these people would have been targeted and slaughtered for their support for America. When they arrived in America, President Ford asked Congress for a package to assist these refugees integrate into American society. That SAME troublesome SENATOR TORPEDOED ANY SUPPORT for these shell shocked, anti-c*******t, Americans and our helpers, refugees.

Instead, President Ford had to recruit Christian organizations to offer assistance on a voluntary basis.

As he did so, the Senator belittled those efforts. What kind of person would oppose President Ford's tireless work to do the right and humanitarian thing? Who would want to play politics with the well-being of innocent people who stood by America in the tragic Vietnam War?

Excellent post!

Shows again the hypocrisy of the left.


Mr. Biden’s arguments about refugees reverse what he and other Democrats now insist are the only moral stances, saying that the U.S. had “no obligation, moral or otherwise, to evacuate foreign nationals,” the Examiner reported.

“The United States has no obligation to evacuate one — or 100,001 — South Vietnamese,” Mr. Biden said then.

A truly despicable human being, like forever. He gives meaning to the swamp and all that's wrong in D.C.

And just because the demented POS can't remember doing it doesn't mean it never happened.

It appears that the intent of the Left is to take the United States down by bankrupting the country. How is it possible that Biden wants to give billions of dollars to South American countries when we are broke. A large part of our population is unemployed and therefore not paying any taxes. Knowingly giving money that we don't have to other countries when there is no disaster is insane. INSANE!
