The Nam Split

I am reading the Nero Wolfe series, and I noticed that the author, Rex Stout, was big on “Negroes” even in 1938. So I checked hi biography and, sure enough, he was a committed leftie who refused to go before the House UnAmerican Activities Committee and explain his Communist Front connections.

But Stout ended his life being vilified by the left for his hawkish stance on Vietnam. The same thing happened to Ralph McGill, editor of the Atlanta Journal and a fanatical turncoat. The same thing happened to many other old lefties.

If you put the situation simply it sounds simplistic, but it is true. President Johnson announced proudly that the Vietnam War was being fought ENTIRELY for the Vietnamese. That was the Greatest Generation talking. He expected everyone to love him for it.

You see, the Greatest Generation got nothing but applause from Enlightened Opinion when they were giving away the Boomer Generation’s INHERITANCE. The got fat benefits for themselves first and then demanded that American whites give away everything else.

But by the 1960s, they were giving away the Boomer Generation ITSELF and the Boomers were no longer helpless infants. Every male Boomer had to build his life around the draft or go to Nam and faced the fight for their colored brothers.

The REAL youthful opposition to the Vietnam War was not the screaming Jews who were the media darlings. They were younger people who were conservative but did not see why they should lose even MORE for their colored brothers.

Wallace, not Nixon, sunk Humphrey in 1968. And Wallace had the largest percentage of young votes, despite the image of screaming Jews as the Youth of the 1960s.

No one has mentioned this before.
