Your "stupid hero" didn't get killed, did he? I sure hope not.

Worse was when Nixon and Kissmyassinger begin to enrich China at the US expense .Begin the fiat currency. Down goes the Gold Standard up goes inflation. Down goes manufacturing ,down goes the middle class.

Thanks so much. I'll douse it with roach spray each and every time I hear the National Anthem played.

By the power not vested in me, I award you, for your service, the Black Roach Medallion. Wear it proudly, Marine!

Easy to throw medals you didn't earn.

Well, I remember that inflation as lasting a long time (of course, I was very much younger then.) In fact, I don't think I've seen any 10-cent candy bars since then.
As to Dewey, from what I've read, he was the one who brought in the idea of teaching children "social adjustment" rather than "facts and truths", and I believe he also brought in "look-say" reading rather than teaching phonics.

Original owner. 🙂

Don't know about Dewey but Nixon's wage and price controls were fairly short-lived and overcome by the US economy eventually.

(Reply to 73 SHARK) See above reply.

Well, what about John Dewey? Didn't he ruin American education? (Or did he come along too early for the list?) And Richard Nixon? Didn't he betray those who believed in free enterprise with his wage/price controls, and also recognize Red China?

I'd add another billionaire: Bill Gates. His pushes to destroy third-world nations with his "vaccines" along with pushes for artificial meat, climate change, etc. all smack of the elitism he grew up adoring.

PS - Love your handle.

I sure enjoyed that article, looks a lot like my list, maybe a different order. A lot of people I associate with don't understand my dislike (hate) of Walter Cronkite, Jane Fonda, John Kerry, Lyndon Johnson, nor for my appreciation of the likes of Richard Nixon. Somehow history hasn't help the generations much, we are repeating the same mistakes and total errors by electing the people that hate this country. Is this what is meant by man being self-destructive?

IIRC those were actually someone else's medals.

I 100% agree that John Kerry is the absolute worst of the bunch. And the bad thing is of course that he is still very active, very destructive, very busy undermining our democracy. He is an absolute traitor, and I can't stand him.

Because we are PROOF that Central Planning doesn't work.

He wants to be THE CENTRAL PLANNER.

That's a tough sell when you have liberty, Freedom, and can work and get what you want...

You triggered a memory toward why me dino deserves a Purple Heart. When in the Marines and never getting out of North Carolina for being a supply clerk, one day during 1970 or 1971, I was sitting on a bunk cleaning my rifle while drinking a Coke. Unseen, a cockroach crawled into my Coke can while I labored on my M14 parade rifle.
So when I took my next drink I felt that filthy bug kicking around inside of my mouth.
Me dino sprang to my feet, spat that sucker out and, screaming with disgust, I did a dance stamping that roach both flat and into bits and pieces.
The corporal on duty for watching the barracks armory and the barracks itself came running with a holstered .45 on his hip. (I got to do that when I later made corporal).
Anyway, that corporal reported the repulsive incident with the phone on his desk.
The next day Pest Control arrived to only stir all the cockroaches up even worse, though they all settled down within a week.
Well, for as many times I felt compelled to wash my mouth out, I deserved a medal for that sacrifice of my service, but me dino be no asshole John Kerry. So me no bothered to ask.
Here is a video that I solemnly dedicate to my sacrifice~~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyIHH...

Well Done. I think Soros is #1
He is currently actively FUNDING our demise!

He threw a grenade, some shrapnel bounced back and made a red mark on his cheek. He went to medical and demanded a bandage and a filing for a Purple Heart. The medical told him to go to hell but Kerry went and applied anyway.

To get a purple heart you usually have to lose a chunk of your body. Kerry has 3 and yet a perfect body. Then he threw his easily won medals over the wall.

Your welcome...

IIRC, he got one of them for hurting himself while he was cleaning his rifle.

Thanks for your help and walking me through the process. If I come across any more gems like this, I'll be sure to post them up.

Doing well for your first time out, Marc...
