As a democratic Socialist " interested " in Senator Bernie Sanders of
Vermont I can take no sides in a controversy within the Republican
Party . I do not hesitate to recognize Senator John McCain as a
courageous warrior. But I opposed the war in Vietnam so many year ago. I
was influenced by leftist professor Howard Zinn.So I still see prisoner
of war McCain as more victim than hero of that LOST war.
Any
socialist intent on abolishing foolish wars will not fawn on " war
heroes " or say a hypocritical THANK YOU to every veteran he meets.
But local Talk Radio is too quick to bury the presidential hopes of
Donald Trump. The American voter is getting sick of Wilsonian blather.
FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY for whom ? Sacrifice for whom -the ONE PERCENT ?
My heroes are heroes of the CLASS WAR-like Eugene V. Debs. Unlike
Bernie Sanders Debs was never drunk enough to join the Democratic
Party. But I suspect his more " respectable " wife would have approved .
