In 1968, when many young American men were in uniform, some in Viet Nam, one special young man was, instead, serving on a bicycle in France. Like the men in his family who came before him, and like his five strapping sons today, they chose not to serve their country, but to serve a much smaller, more personally relevant segment of society.
The young man on the left in that picture is now running for the office of US President. So what is wrong with this picture? If he weren't so surrounded with PNAC guys, nothing. But this morally numb man has fallen in league with the very worst war mongering scum alive today.
Wilmutt Rmoney may well be a bigger danger to our country than was our last useful idiot, the despicable Barbara Bush's lesser son. At least his family kept him in check (Yes, I said that. It could well have been worse if his camp followers had their way and Cheney was given free reign.)
With WoolMittens we have no such safety. Just look at who is advising this ambitious, amoral, entitled, sociopath. Listen to the rhetoric of just the past few days. War with Russia. War with Iran. War with Syria. War with Egypt. War with Libya.
