In 1972 I rooted for the antiwar Democrat George McGovern against the Republican monster Milhous. Now Chris Leithner reports from Australia: "We truly live in a bizarre world -- one where a 'lefty Democrat' from yesteryear writes in the War Street Journal -- and makes much more sense than any of the 'conservatives' that pollute its pages. (Most American 'conservatives,' from what I gather, seek to conserve the welfare and warmongering of the evil Franklin Roosevelt.) Yes, this piece has been written by THAT George McGovern." A great article, and thanks to Mark Thornton.
