George McGovern has died and the deification has taken place in the media. For his stature, it is strangely muted. It does not seem to have reached Tim Russert level. Needless to say, as he was most known for the foreign policy aspect of his failed presidential campaign, it is incumbent on the Neutralist to comment.
As to his redistributionist economics and his dietary regulations, the Neutralist does not comment other than to express doubt. On his "Come Home America" slogan, he was profoundly right.
When he said that, the Neutralist was on active duty and had drunk the Kool Aid by the gallon. The bogeyman would be at the gates if we did not stay the course. All this while the Nixon-Kissinger team was looking for a face saving bug out.
We did bug out and it was better for us that we did (see America's greatest 20th century victory).
Unfortunately, we never got the message. I was just listening to a debate reprise where Romney was talking about being able to fight two major wars. Heck, we couldn't even handle both Iraq and Afghanistan and they were hardly the Wehrmacht or the Imperial Navy.
In honor of George, the Neutralist says proudly, "Come Home America." We hope the late senator has found peace. Unlike his country which is no where near it.
