My apologies to Black Flag and Max, but that was just not what I wanted this blog to be. They each have a unique perspective, and each should have his own blog where I can come harass them.
To my other reader, comments are free and open again.

“Those two guys” are blessed with the gift of repetition. Boring. Relatively harmless goose-steppers. Similar cadence with other equally boring echo chambers like LITW, MT Cow, and ECITI. Comes with the medium, I suppose.

Well played, ladybug, well played! You can’t win an argument with your failed ideology, so you invoke Godwin and call your betters boring.

right…..
Your opinion is always welcome. So subjective, so little substance, so lovingly you. Different stokes, and all that. What’s free if we can’t disagree? March on soldier.

right-o…
PS. Invoking Godwin just because of my reference to “goose-stepping” is unsupportable. Prussian in origin, it is now popular in the militaries of South America, Central America and Cuba. Or was it the repetition part?

You are getting closer to the truth. Please catch up as many of us learners have by reading RFK’s efforts in BROTHERS
by David Talbot and the very latest JFK The Unspeakable by James Douglass. Both now in paperback and affordable.

I’ve already lapped you on this one. It’s an unspoken rule that plutocrats don’t kill one another in this country. The idea that JFK was altruistic and idealistic stands in stark contrast to his actual policies. Vietnam was hardly on the radar in 1963, but there was intense bombing of Cambodia authorized by him and kept secret from the Public. The invasion of Cuba was set to go ahead in December of 1963.
I read “Brothers”, and think it might be plausible that RFK experienced remorse at the death of his brother, feeling responsible since he had goaded the mob. He might indeed have changed from the angry right winger who served McCarthy into a altruistic liberal. But we’ll never know, will we. But the larger premise of the book, that the Kennedy’s were reformers, stands in stark contrast to their actual Cold War behavior.
Move on.
