the right will always find someone to fight with, they need an enemy because it justifies their need to control the agenda, and to accuse anyone opposed to them as anti-patriotic, traitors, cowards, etc. if it's not commies its jihadis, and you wait, if that threat ever blows over they will have another ready in no time. anyone taking any bets on who the new jews are going to be?
immigrants? liberals? aging baby boomers monopolizing all the medicare benefits?

as for vietnam, the idea was that if we didn't stop them there they would be taking over the rest of asia. well, america lost in vietnam, didn't it? and nothing happened. nothing.

the only thing the right cares about is keeping (their) taxes low, their businesses unregulated, and their employees so terrified of losing their jobs they will do nothing to upset their bosses.
