In 2007, former North Carolina Congressman Billy Hendon co-authored a 600 page work detailing the abandonment of American POW's in Southeast Asia. While in office he was a point man for POW recovery efforts and placed his feet on the ground in Vietnam and other countries where we may have left men behind. The work that he and Elizabeth Stewart completed illuminates a modern day trail of tears, that if true, carries a tremendous measure of shame for the politicians, soldiers, and government employees who knew of our betrayal and failed to speak up.

What conservatives care about is cognitively correct perspectives on social, governmental, religious, and other matters that bring us closer to truth. Slapstick comedy, head banger music, and juvenile presentations distract from and damage the essence of the discussion.
