He even managed to get a bachelor&#039;s degree and an MBA while he was out!!!  Unfortunately Co$ broke his ability to relate to people in the real world and that&#039;s what he so desperately needs and wants.  I think he believed the line that it&#039;s not working because he did it wrong...]]></description>

While Johnson ratcheted up our involvement in Vietnam, he was able to do what Kennedy could never do: get the Civil Rights Act through Congress.  That piece of legislation, while being poo-poo&#039;ed by conservatives, brought about profound changes in our society that are bearing fruit now.

Johnson was able to do it because not only was he a Southerner, but because he knew where all the bodies were buried, politically, and he knew how to arm twist and horse trade.

I can remember that there was a near riot at my high school just over the rumor that blacks might attend.  This was in California.  Not too long before, blacks had to be out of Glendale, CA by dark.

Nixon was a brilliant politician, but he had one huge blind spot: himself.  The Watergate break-in was totally unnecessary.  He had the election won.  It turns out that Deep Throat was the second in command at the FBI, and he hated that Nixon was trying to politicize it, so he pointed Woodward and Bernstein in the right direction.


The Democrats had dirty tricksters, but

As of late I have been exposed to the uaual history and sentiment towards Nixon. You know, he was just as bad or worse then Johnson, a criminal, paranoid, well everything Hunter S. Thompson said pretty much. I can&#039;t think of one time in any history class that we actually got to Johnson or Nixon. All my school days in history all ended pretty much with WW2. So, I am not as knowledgeable about what they actually really did for us at the moment. But I have been trying to work on this by reading non biased books or the congressional record. It&#039;s daunting but worth it. I have to thank Bunkerites for book suggestions! I am gonna be swamped but I have sleeping issues as it is so I will have something good to read at night!]]></description>

hello there Fist ~ Good day to you!

A quick &#038; friendly note: the attached was not aimed at you specifically m&#039;dear FOX ~ I am aware that when I post here it will be seen by others too.  I merely liked the words and image presented as well as the thought behind it.  I find the intense colorful expression above to be artful, bright &#038; interesting... a celebration of insouciance even... quite like many of the comments I find here @ Tony&#039;s underground bunker... quite like many of yours Mrs. Pattycake  :-)

As a &#039;never-in&#039; I feel that I have no right, none what-so-ever, to engage in snark --- and besides, ingenious I am not --- So, to show my support for all things that lead folks away from $cientarCONon --- I up arrow.   And I read as many of the posts as time permits; I listen intently.  And sometimes, apparently, I feel compelled to do more... please consider me nothing more than a dorky sideline cheerleader, that&#039;s all. 

and now, off to today&#039;s article &#038; commentary... to continue... I look forward to today&#039;s lessons.  
Kind Regards to you Mr. &#038; Mrs. FistofXenu too!  CYA &#039;round, Q]]></description>

To simplify, one gets in an ethics condition for being bad like looking at a website and asking questions, etc. Part of the lower conditions are to  deliver a blow to the enemy, however one can. Another is you do what they tell you they need or want. Like going on blogs, and you can imagine the rest. Then you&#039;ve completed that and move on to other things like give lots of money or service to get thru the ethics conditions and be a good little robot.]]></description>
