Debate about the Vietnam War

[Anthony '58]

All I know is that while growing up I genuinely admired G.I. liberals like Arthur Schlesinger Jr., John Gardner (who founded Common Cause), James Michener (whose Kent State: What Happened And Why exposed the spoiled-brat traitors for who and what they really were), John Lindsay, mayor of New York City in which I of course lived at the time, who denounced violence in a misguided attempt to bring about social change as, and I quote, verbatim, "cowardly and immoral," and also G.I.-Silent cusper Daniel Patrick Moynihan (later, I became a big-time admirer of Mike Royko).

Yes, these men were liberals - but they were Americans first.

So I really get burned up when some gross ignoramus calls me a right-winger.
