Paul Harvey RIP
The last of the great ones. Gone.
Harvey was a serious anti-Communist, and an important part of the Mainstream Media, yet for some reason he was ignored by modern conservatives, never listed among the mentors and founders of the movement. This has always puzzled me ... possibly it was because he turned against the Vietnam war and thus turned a large segment of popular opinion against it. Well, he was right, and in fact he was consistently anti-Communist in opposing the war. The Vietnam war was a gift to the Soviets, and Comrade Nixon was our most left-wing president until Sultan Bush came along and outdid him. ¶ 6:30 PM
