Indeed, the Fourth of July fairly bristles with irony, and never more than in 2007. As in my childhood, we are involved in a seemingly endless war, to which the current president is committed--come what may. What is different, however, is that we are in the midst of a social revolution, imposed by the leading elites in our society, that said president was to great degree expressly elected to halt. When I was a child, of course, LBJ was president: he fully expected his “Great Society” to result in a peaceful, yet radical, alteration in our country. But I doubt the old crook would have been happy with abortion, gay marriage, women in combat, and all the other joys of our time. Share

The current Presidency is all smoke and mirrors.
The difference between the two situations is that LBJ inherited the Vietnam situation and was given bad advice as to how to proceed. This Presidency invented and promoted false information in order to proceed with plans against Iraq implemented by Co-President Cheney. There were jealousies and rivalries between the CIA and the Pentagon with no consideration as to the future repercussions of their actions and how it would bankrupt this country and the Presidency.
