A solution for all the America haters out there

Rick Santorum and Pat Buchanan have both recently called the left nazis... but there's nary a peep about that. They pretend its one sided.

A statement like that pretty much discredits them completely. Like calling Hilter a commie.

I think LBJ was a complex man.

Let me tell you about LBJ - My late aunt worked in the West Wing office of the President from 1962 – 1970. I actually met LBJ. LBJ was a totally nasty bigoted sonofabitch. He made Clinton look like a choirboy. He had one motivation and one only – politics. If it got gains for him or the Democrats politically – he’d do it. He was probably the coldest person my aunt ever met. People were there as tools for him to use and discard. I will give him this – he was a straight shooter. If he didn’t like you – he told you. For LBJ it was all about politics and how much federal money he could send to Texas (why do you think NASA is in Houston).

Truman desegregated the military to get the black northern vote. He may have though it was right too but I’m 50-50 on the motivation after reading a lot of his papers.

BTW I was born and raised in Virginia and went to school in Tennessee so don’t consider me a Yankee (non-southerner)

There are two rather arbitrary assumptions implicit in your advice, which can be trivially proven wrong:

A. That "Bush" equals "America".

B. That your advice is worth more than a rat's fart.

There's a joker on the loose from the psychiatric ward
His face is up on the bulletin board with a reward
He'll stab you with a sword don't be fooled by his charm
He's probably armed with intent to do bodily harm
Ring the alarm, look for a man with green hair
Check at your girl's house, he was last seen there
He's has a mean stare but usually crack's jokes
Good luck on your mission and guard your backs, folks

I'll take the aisle. Closer to the liquor.

The recent (i.e. last decade and a half in getting published) and voluminous biography of LBJ supports every single point you made and particularly about him being a more complex person than people usually give him credit for. And this is coming from someone who was among the Hey-Hey-LBJ crowd, no less.

What Slamdunkpro wrote about his personal acquaintance with LBJ does not alter those assessments of History.

You're asking them to volunteer to become victims of US foreign policy?
