What about innocent American lives lost when Japan attacked the US?
The US was Not the strongest country in the world in 1941, that was probably either Germany or Japan.
You are not thinking this through very well.
As to Iran, are you aware of what the Iranian leadership has said should happen to Israel? They have said it many times, even in New York city at the United Nations.
The Israelis have been operating their own undercover spy ring in Iran, for a while now, and they have recently learned that the Russians have been assisting Iran in developing a nuclear weapon. And Isreal recently went to Moscow and basically revealed their undercover spy operation on Iran, because the Israelis don't need it anymore.
The Israelis know all they need to know about Iran's progress with the weapon program. And Iran is much closer to being able to use a nuclear device than Israel or the US knew previously.
So, what do you think a regime like Iran, with religiously suicidal tendencies would do with a nuclear bomb?
Now pay attention here: Mutually assured destruction does not mean anything to a suicide bomber.
You say you want there to be a world where your kids can grow up......
Who doesn't???
Do you think you are alone with that sentiment??
But if you think more about it....it becomes a question of what kind of a world will they have to grow up in?
What you are suggesting, would mean they would grow up in a world of Sharia law, Muslim faith, women would be property, and all the rest....
I guess that is OK with you?
Well ... shame on you.
You should care more about your children, and be willing to fight for what you believe in and want for them.
Texan by birth: Other than that though, he's also considered to be one of the greatest Presidents in US history... and the only 1 to be elected for 4 terms!
pssst! Nixon was a Republican! tongue
Lights:
Franklin Roosevelt is not considered to be one of the greatest presidents of all time. He is one of the most controversial.
His efforts to end the great depression were a dismal failure. Roosevelt's Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morganthau said in a speech in 1937:
"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong . . . somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. . . . I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. ...And an enormous debt to boot."
Liberals don't realize or want to admit, WWII ended the great depression. It was never government deficit spending.
So, you are aware that Nixon was a Republican? That's good.
Yes he was a bad one.
Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.
And Lyndon Johnson was a Democrat. And a very very corrupt one.
I am very concerned about the direction this administration and this Congress is taking the country.
I am not in agreement with practically any of their liberal socialist agenda items.
And I don't trust this president. He has already revealed himself to be a liar, and now it is just a question of what he is lying about next.
So, I plan to continue to communicate my disagreement with this administration, this congress, and this senate.
And I am going to campaign, contribute and volunteer for the next 2 to 4 years to get these people out of office.
Because I love this country.
BTW, I am glad we elected a black man president. I just wished he was honest. And I wished he loved this country. I am pretty sure Obama does not love this country....
Why? Because he attended Jeremiah Wright's Church of hate for the United States for about 20 years, because Obama feels compelled to go around the world apologizing for the US, and because he is feverishly trying to ram socialist policies through the legislature (as are the liberal Democrat socialists in the legislature.
I would say that if an older person, man or woman, seems 'bitter' it may be more the fact that they have lived through and have experienced more of life's B---S--- , and having 'been there and done that' or 'been there and heard that' enough times that they get tired of the same foolish B---S---.
Consequently, sometimes older people are more impatient and short with foolish young people.
Ya know??
Looking back when I was young and dumb, I am kind of amazed at the patience and restraint shown by some of the older guys I worked with.
