But his Veep- Michigan's boy (by way of Nebraska) Gerald R. Ford was an Eagle Scout and Order of the Arrow- 1973- Nixon still lying to the voters, as he did in 1969 about how we were NOT in Laos or Cambodia (and the Ho Chi Minh trail was paved in cement with lane markers)--
Mr. Murphy- I meant no slur on the reserves and week-end warriors, our second Prez. name of Bush was one- ANG in TX-- In 1968 in Detroit, the riots- Guard Units were sent back from their two week summer tour at Camp Grayling to Detroit to protect the brave firemen from the rioters and looters- they were issued live rounds for their M-16's I was told-
Col.-- I like your analysis of the Ladies show "The View"-- our current POTUS seems to like the "distaff side"- with two daughters, Hillary as Sec'y of State, and two recent female noms to The Supremes-- but if you look back over our Nation's History- rich (Oprah) and college educated or otherwise motivated "Do-Gooders" have been responsible for, in the end result, more Sturm und Drang than any men have wrought- Harriett Beecher Stowe and Julia Ward Howe- their "do-gooder" words got us embroilled in a War that killed over 600,000 Americans and accomplished very little as a result- better they should have "goosed that faceful lighting with their own Swiss swords"-- Carrie Nation and her ilk- lead to the Volstead Act of 1919- which gave us Al Capone, Bugs Moran, Heimie Weiss, the Purple Gang etc-- and wasn't removed until 1933- by a Pres. who loved his dry martinis at his infamous "Children's Hour"-- Dorothy Sanger, whose efforts allowed the Gov't to meddle in the bedroom and later, vis a vis the Hayes Act- Hollywood and the Stage- and who was the most influential in the Suffragette Movement which allowed women the right and option to vote and meddle in politics- And then we were "blessed" with the infamous poor little rich gal Patty Hearst and her entics with the SLA and the gals who followed Charles Manson--who knows, if the current trend continues- we will see our beloved BSA merged with the GSA and become known as the "Persons Scout of America"--
