It's always painful to read about the Johnson Administration--its strengths and weaknesses are way too extreme. Maybe my personal focus on his strengths reflects my being born in 1968 and therefore not having been quite as viscerally affected by the war. Had my best friend or brother died in the war, I doubt I would have quite as much affection for the man.
I was really glad and interested to see your mention of John XXIII. I imagine he wasn't included on too many rightwing lists, probably because he is probably Catholic rightwingers' least favorite Pope. And a lot of leftwing bloggers (though not all), might not consider any religious figures for their lists, although, as you point out, Gandhi is an interesting exception.
We love your blog by the way, and thanks for mentioning us today.
Patrick and Teresa -
You're absolutely right about putting posters' names up front, something we've talked about at JUSIPER and plan to do. We just happen to be experiencing some growth now, and are still adjusting to it!
Thanks for the link.
Patrick (at JUSIPER)
