He sure did a lot of damage to the country. I was reading an interesting article about Kennedy – and the fact that what LBJ was to call the “Great Society” (with all the welfare programs that entailed) Kennedy wanted to try that program regionally first to see how well it worked.
After he was assassinated Johnson took that program and decided to make it national.
It destroyed the black family (is doing a good job on white families, too)
Then there’s Vietnam – with Johnson all the time in 1964 for denigrating Goldwater for daring to suggest either go in to win or don’t go in – remember the famous daisy ad Johnson ran?
Terrible President – crude too. Once held a national press conference at his ranch and urinated in front of all the reporters. (when you gotta go you gotta go, I guess).
Let’s be sure there is a chicken in chicken in every pot, or now a days a little pot in every chicken.
Say whatever else you will to say about the man, but he was right in his strategy and assessment of the situation. Of course, he was a racist, but that’s not really important, now is it?
The same comments could be applied to other well known politicians of the same cloth: Wilson, FDR, Stalin…
The real goal is power; moral integrity in the tactics used to get it are entirely beside the point. Or as I.V.Dhugashvili put it “you can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs”.
