Vietnam war total

Total U.S. military deaths in vietnam was 58,000. 

Perhaps your sources of information are erroneous or just not well researched.  And using common sense I believe reference was made to the course and justification of the Vietnam War, not the total casualties.

I think that you have made a crucial error in believing that WWII and Vietnam are at all similar.  WWII and the US Civil War were also very different wars.  There are even major differences between Iraq and Vietnam and the Korean War although some historians would also find greater similarities in these three wars.  You may rewrite the history of wars as well as US history to fit your agenda of political hatred, but you will never be able to present a convincing argument if you have completely questionable sources and facts to back it up.

You negate most historical records, which I admit often have some aspects of questionable validity, and you seem to re-create a fictionalized account to accommodate your rather far-out-there belief system based in hatred of the left.  You rearrange and fictionalize facts and history to make your point.  You provide spurious sources for your facts (I could probably find sources that prove that the earth is populated by aliens from Mars if I looked hard enough).

I also notice on the conservative board constant condemnation of liberals, leftists as a whole.  We are characterized as stupid, immoral, crazy, unpatriotic, love the terrorists, cowards, angry, on and on.  You are condemning at least 50 percent of the citizens of this country with those adjectives. Doesn't seem at all patriotic to me.  Your group also points out nuts (like those who would spit on veterans) as representing the liberal mindset.  I realize I am not going to be able to convince you of the great disservice you do to yourself with a narrow and naive mindset like that.  I know many Republicans and with the exception of possibly one, none are as condemning and narrow-minded as the posts I see on your board.  Thank heavens for that.  While I have participated in bashing and see bashing on the liberal board, it rarely occurs in a generalized fashion toward all right-wingers.  As I said, that would be a very naive assumption and the root of bigotry and prejudice and ultimately hatred is in the grouping of all peoples as being of one mindset.....think of Muslims, blacks in the south pre-Civil Rights, Native Americans in the 1800s (and even now).  So easy to ridicule and oppress when we don't see folks as individuals.  Actually the comments I see made about the liberal mindset are so far removed from the reality of most liberals in the United States it verges on the ridiculous, well no, it doesn't verge on the ridiculous, it IS ridiculous.

As far as your further condemnation of Democrats as far as blacks and their allegiances, I believe most informed political science folks would be the first to admit that the party doctrines have evolved over time.  What probably counts most is the current party belief system.  Just some common sense.

End of sermon.

you are off your nut.

Eric Rudolph to clinic workers.

THAT'S a total lunatic.

Your problem with gt is that she's decided to communicate in true conservative style that she must have learned on the other board.  She's trying to point out to them how they come across, which they routinely deny doing.

Not very pleasant, is it?
