we will turn to robert mary. guest: yes, she is right, as matthew was saying earlier.t took republican votes to get civil rights act passed, those various acts of the 60's. it was a democratic president who took us into vietnam. i think -- whether you want to attribute that to kennedy or johnson. reflection of the state of american politics is in that buckley statement during those debates regarding the violence that took place at the democratic convention. matthew noted, there was a commission that said it was a police riot. there were masses of americans, millions of americans who did not believe it was a police riot . they believed it was perpetrated , encouraged, created by the demonstrators, and they are in aay a split -- therein lay split, a chasm that went to america at those times. of this tond any understand what is going on politically, you have to understand just how dramatic that chasm was. host: charles is joining us, miami florida. -- miami, florida. go ahead. guest: my question is, the right man, the right job. nixonext and retired -- was retired from th
