He became quite conservative in his later years...opposing affirmative action, crying about "Racism" directed at whites, and supporting the Republican party, including the one who got us into this war. You remember this war right?
But it's sweet that you hark back 40 years to present his then-liberal policies as evidence of his goodness.
Tell ya anything? Or are you too stupid to figure out what you just admitted?
He supported education and after school programs right up to the end, focusing in the last few years primarily on programs to aid under priviledged kids.
His last cameo for a religious movie aimed at youth was made only 3 years ago. He stopped due to health reasons.
Yes, he saw many things from the conservative side of political philosophy in later years. But I guess that makes him a douche bag. Heaven forbid anyone actually disagree with your kind of liberals. But then, there are a lot of people who view things from the conservative side of political philosophy. Am I to assume we are all douche bags?
As far as being a registered republican, yes he was. So are millions of other Americans. In fact, a majority of voters put Bush in office a second time. Are they all douche bags?
I am a registered republican myself. I guess that makes me a douche bag too. People like you in the democratic party are a primary reason I quit the democratic party. I was a staunch dem when I came back from Viet Nam, and continued to be a registered dem until half way through Carter's term in office. Then I was independent for a while, voting both sides of the aisle depending on the candidate. Then when the republicans won control of congress in 1994, I watched the democratic party get taken over by whiny crybabies like yourself. Your bitter hatred and intolerance of opposing views is worse than the republican "You're not a patriot if you don't support the war." bullshit, because it has been going on a lot longer, and is aimed at everything not endorsed by the democratic national party.
Your response does tell me one thing loud and clear. It tells me I was spot on in recognizing you as a mindless twit.
