General Discussion

Senator Kennedy's speech that I quoted is from a time when he was wrestling with the idea of entering the 1968 Democratic primaries. LBJ had gotten the US stuck in a war we could not win. This took away the funding for LBJ's "Great Society" programs. The anti-war movement, along with the Civil Rights movement, etc, were putting significant stress on the president, and many people such as Senator Kennedy were aware that LBJ was having increased episodes of psychosis.

Thus, I thought the quote might be of interest today ..... for one never knows when a psychotic president might get this country into another war we cannot win, and the American people will be fed lie after lie.
