April 30, 1975..The 31st Anniversary.. WAKE UP!!!!! Will we allow history to repeat itself?

Bumped from April 6 2006 for the upcoming Anniversary

As Conservatives continue to rip each other apart, and republican politicians in Congress become more and more incapable of standing up for conservative values and ideas, the Liberal Party is proving itself able to win without a majority.

We have got to get our shit together (NOW), or the answer to the title question will be yes.

This is what is important (a history refresher for any of you who may have forgotten, or were born after 1970 and never knew).

1. The Paris Peace Accords were signed on 27 January 1973, which officially ended U.S. involvement in the Vietnam conflict.

(Substitute Iraq 2009 or maybe 2007.)

2. All U.S. soldiers were ordered to leave (Vietnam) by March 29, 1973.

(Substitute Iraq 2009 or maybe 2007.)

3. 1973-74 Economic aid to South Vietnam continued (after being cut nearly in half).

(Not even the liberals will cut off all support, yet.)

At the same time, aid to North Vietnam from the USSR and China began to
increase, and with the US out, the two countries no longer saw the war as
significant to their U.S. relations.

(Substitute Syria and Iran for USSR & China.)

4. In December 1974, Congress completed passage of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1974 that voted to cut off all military funding to the Saigon government and made unenforceable the peace terms negotiated by Nixon.

(Wait a year, then, hang them out to dry.)

5. On April 29, 1975 the U.S. launched Option IV, the largest helicopter evacuation in history.

(I don’t know if there will be anything left in Iraq to rescue.)

6. Saigon fell on April 30, 1975.

(And so it goes, 2 years and 1 month after US troops left South Vietnam.)

Please remember, the Democrats got us into that war and turned it into a disaster before handing it off to Nixon, who had no choice but to clean up the mess.

The Liberals in this Country have already sacrificed an entire Nation (Vietnam) to make the humiliation a political opponent complete and final.

And they will do it again if we let them.

They care nothing for this Country or its history. They wish to see it destroyed, one way or another.

Note to Republicans: It Takes Guts To Lead A Country.
