I'm a lefty who watches Fox News on occasion out of curiosity. I've watched Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly. If you believe those guys that explains why you are so misinformed. When I was growing up we got our news from the local paper and our information from the likes of Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley and David Brinkley. We were divided on how to approach things such as taxes, social programs, military interventions, and emotions could run high. We bitterly disagreed on Vietnam, for example. The difference is that we all based our arguments on the same facts. There was one set of facts. Rush Limbaugh was the first to spew hatred and misinformation. Remember the "Homeless update" where he made fun of the homeless with the Frogman Henry song? Rush is the one who divided this nation and Fox News came along with their version of "facts" while spewing hatred against the liberals. Right wing media invented misinformation, division and hatred in this nation, at least in my lifetime. The left and the right disagree. Those of us on the left are as patriotic as any of you on the right. To say otherwise is childish and ignorant. I like to read the opinions on One Political Plaza, as I like to read opinions from both sides. However name calling and h**e filled rants seem to be more prevalent than ideas or opinions. That's a shame, as we can do better.

Boy you are despicable !

You have no idea what you're talking about recruitment in the Vietnam era was thru the draft board and IQ wasn't even mentioned .

I dare say the troops in Vietnam no doubt had higher IQ's and more than likely had more smarts than You, there were a lot of troops that had college degree's .

There's no doubt that the troops serving in Vietnam had far more courage and bravery than you'll ever have .

The disastrous blood bath was due to the lefty democrats you whole heartily support we won every battle we fought but the democrats under leadership of LBJ were responsible for losing the war and all the blood bath .

Pleased to meet you Mrs Aggie . Most people here are real decent human beings -conservative or liberal . Enjoy any and all discussions you get into . All the best from me .
