How Long Will the Globe Support Our Troops When It Gets Tough? Reminiscent of How They Got Us Into Vietnam
The
Boston Globe continues to remind us how they got us involved in
Vietnam back in 1965, along with their liberal friends. They
don't have the courage to question whether we should be sending
our young men to fight all over the world. But they do send a message
that they will be the first to desert those boys when the fighting
gets tough. They
put a large picture of some "peace" demonstrators on the
front page of Section B under a headline, For Peace's Sake. But
when you went to the continuation on page 4, you discovered that
the "dozens of people" who rallied for "peace"
on page B1 suddenly jumped to "about 400" on page 4. This
was doubly confusing because many of us were trying to count the
people on B1 and wondered how they even got as high as "dozens"
of people. We
even wondered if the photographer had staged the protesters just
to get his picture. Picture
was Staged
What
is even stranger is that if you compare the picture on page 4 with
that on page 1, you'll discover that they're the same people in
both pictures, even with the same signs. It was staged! When
you start to read the story, the lead sentence talks about U.S.
foreign policy that is "infuriating" and "disgusting"
to "peace activists." Does that sound like the words of
an impartial reporter, or does it sound like the personal feeling
of the reporter, Douglas Belkin? This
propaganda from the Globe is humorous until you realize that they
may soon be threatening the lives of many brave, young men as they
did when they (and their parent company, the New York Times) changed
their minds about Vietnam. And
if the Chinese Army comes unexpectedly crashing across the border
(as they did to American soldiers in Korea in 1951) and it really
becomes a struggle, they will be the first to surrender. They will
finally have - at last - an abortion policy they like, where every
woman is forced to have an abortion at the point of a gun and every
woman works - at a job and out of the home.
