so, has anyone ever heard of a shipping and transportation company called sea land, or one called u.s. lines.
both of these companies worked with the united states goverment to supply transportation for the war in vietnam.
guess who got us into that war. lindon b. johnson.
guess who was a major holder of stocks in the above stated companies. lady bird johnson. lindons' wife.
think about this and tell me your opinions.

[color=red][b]Ok, that was then. That applies to today.....how?

and I seriously doubt that a president would get into a war just to get rich.[/b][/color]

its just an interesting fact. but, if you want to get really picky you should buff up on the reading (books not this screen) and you will find you can learn alot from history.

Uhh... LBJ hired, whats basically his own company, to use in Vietnam.... its obvious he used it to gain a rather big profit....

Which of Lyndon B. Johnson's terms are you talking about?

[Kent]

well, i would say his first. since he won his election by a land slide in 1964. that would be the same year that the history books have declared to be the begining of this particular conflict.

So, LBJ has most of his family's names LBJ

He also had his dogs LBJ too . . .

And the point of this whole thread was . . ?

for people that can pick up on things as hard to see as the similiar intitials that they have, im suprised no one has seen i was just trying to make the point that most of my generation is misguided in thinking polititions (democrate or republican) arent deceptive little ba$tards that dont care about the people but act like they have a dream of peace, equality and utopia.
another political point, when the civil rights movement occured in the 60s, the pres. had to go to the republicans, because goverment officials like al gores father were fighting tooth and nail to keep the less furtunate where they were.
do you think jesse jackson really cares and if so please explain why im so misslead and misinformed.
im just asking people to think deeply into the things that they take for face value, and to stop acting like everything is some story from the x-files when it comes to things that are real. (do you really think sept. 11 was set up by the israelis, the way the p.l.o. tried to claim.
by the way, i thought we could talk about almost anything, so why are so many people getting on my case about this thread.
is it cause the truth can scare spinster democrates?
p.s. not all republicans are stand up guys either.
