When Salvador Allende, a committed Marxist, came within three percent of winning the Chilean presidency in 1958, the United States decided that the next election, in 1964, could not be left in the hands of providence, or democracy.
“We have morality on our side….”--William Blum | Ironic words flowing from the pen of a man who has devoted forty years of his life to hard-core dissent against the United States, the "most moral nation in the history of civilization." We are a nation founded upon bedrock principles of Christianity. Would Christ not have approved of chattel slavery, the Native American genocide, and the millions of “savages” we have slaughtered to expand our borders and to maintain “Pax American?”
