5. We need to start calling these democrats neo-conservative....

...appeasers, much like the pre-war (WWII) appeasers who allowed Hitler and the Nazis to have their way. There is now free lunch with these bastards who are trying to steal America, they must either be stopped now, or the Beacon on the Hill which was America will disappear.

12. Check yourself first.

I deeply resent that. FDR wanted in that war sooooo bad he could taste it. We The People wanted no parts of it. He was Constitutionally bound to repesct OUR wishes. Once the Japaneese bombed Pearl Harbor. We The People had a Constitutional duty to perform. The Defense of the US Constitution against a clear and present foreign enemy. This duty was Presided over by our Commander and Chief Franklin Delenor Roosevelt. God Bless this Wise and Couragous American Public Servant. He was one of the Greatest Leaders this world had ever had the priviledge to witness at work. With the assistance of Winnie. They made avery scarey war look like childs play. Winston Churchill was also a Great Leader in his own rite. Their grins, smiles, and laughter comforted nations around the world.

15. You make it sound as if FDR could do no wrong

FDR is the most popular president in US history, but he was far from perfect, nor should he be mentioned for his successes without also mentioning his shortcomings, the most glaring of which was the internment of the Japanese during WW2. If I were forced into choosing between Bush Jr. and FDR, FDR gets my vote, but I wouldn't vote unless I made some objections known.

14. could we please make a concerted effort to identify the fifth column?

These guys are a serious problem and some quick investigation is likely to turn up collusion in GOP-related criminal activities.
