...repeating that JFK was a traitor and appeaser, what LeMay said, came in all manner and loudly to proclaim the idea that it was a straight-line on foreign policy -- and today, on domestic policy -- between administrations and parties.

FDR fought them in 1933 and won, thanks in no small part to Gen. Smedley Butler. The American people are on to their gangster asses. Unfortunately or by design, the Democratic Party leadership no longer sees fit to do all it can to defend the New Deal, the Great Society, and the New Frontier, let alone expand on anything approaching social justice or progress.
