50. Lyndon Johnson ...war profiteer, scumbag
"At the same time, he was able to convince himself that a war he was afraid to stop was actually not only a way of combating the evil threat of communism, but a way to spread the fruits of social progress on a global scale."

Please!!!!!:puke:

That piece of shit was a war profiteer!

He and his friends made a shitload off of Bell Helicopter, and that was why he had such a hard on to stay in Vietnam. He didn't believe that crap he spouted about the "commies" coming to get us and spreading democracy anymore than Bush believes the "Islamofacists" are really coming to get us and the need to spread democracy in the Middle East.

I think Johnson was great on social issues, but it doesn't lessen the horrible fact he was a war mongering whore for the military industrial complex!!

:puke:
