Poll question: We were undefeated in our wars UNTIL we put "under God" in the Pledge

We were undefeated in our wars UNTIL we put "under God" in the Pledge.

What do you think about that?

On edit: Better wording

[SheepyMcSheepster]

1. that's a good one

hehe, pretty funny :)
i like phrasing, it would blow some of these conservatives' minds.

2. cough...1812...cough

[dhinojosa]

6. Are you ok?

10. I'm just fine...but your WH windowsills are still smoking

:rofl:

[berni_mccoy]

14. I KNEW you were gonna bring that up... Thems FIGHTIN' WORDS!

Let's rumble...

:rofl:

peace!

[Maple]

17. LOL sure....

and lets do it over this :donut:

Peace.

[berni_mccoy]

7. You must be Canadian, eh?

It was a stalemate, not a loss.

[Maple]

13. Definitely a Canuck

And since the borders remained where they were, and Canada is still around as a separate country...it weren't no stalemate. :7

[berni_mccoy]

18. Canada, er GREAT BRITAIN, invaded back, and we kicked their asses back.

sorry, couldn't resist

:P

[Maple]

20. Nah...twas us

in spite of the 19th century propaganda.

Spin was alive and well from the WH then too. :D

[berni_mccoy]

24. Ah the spin, alas, I admit, I've been dazzled by it since childhood

I think I finally shrugged it off during the 2000 election. that was my wakeup call.

[dhinojosa]

23. Yeah but you now pay the consequence of having larger football fields

It was punishment for Canadians in the Treaty of Ghent. Hosers!

[Maple]

26. But we don't need blue-lights to follow hockey pucks

;-)

[htuttle]

16. We invaded. We got our ass kicked.

We lost.

[TechBear_Seattle]

3. Say, rather....

"We were undefeated in our wars UNTIL we put "under God" in the Pledge."

That makes your point a bit clearer :rofl:

[dhinojosa]

11. Nice...thanks

hehe

[Viking12]

4. Technically....

We neither won nor lost the Korean War (police action). We signed a cease fire in 1953, the terms of which continue to guide the way we operate on the peninsula. "Under God" wasn't added until 1954.

5. Does Granda count? How about that little dust up in 1991?

[dhinojosa]

8. Yeah but we already had Vietnam before that...

that's all I am saying

[berni_mccoy]

9. Military Actions != War...

Technically, those were not considered wars. And did we actually *win* the gulf war? It's still going on isn't it?

[TechBear_Seattle]

21. The Gulf War I is like WW I...

In that the Gulf War II (ie the current invasion and occupation of Iraq) is a direct consequence of what was done and not done during and since the previous war, as was the case with WW II. (Had the Allies not destroyed the German economy with war reparations, Hitler would very likely not have risen to power. Without Hitler providing a distraction, it is unlikely that Japan would have been so nakedly ambitious in its own expansionism and thus would not have involved the US in the Pacific.)

So an argument can be made that there are two phases of a single Gulf War, rather than two separate wars.

12. lol.. we were also undefeated before TV... and the internet... and camaros

[Maple]

15. This is what comes of

cut-rate history textbooks. :rofl:

[annabanana]

19. "thow shall not tempt the Lord thy God...."

said Jesus when the Devil dared him to jump off the cliff...

same thing.

[Ignacio Upton]

22. Coincidence

I don't see how Vietnam and inserting "Under God" in the pledge have anything to do with each other.

[jokerman93]

25. It's crazy nonsense but

It's crazy nonsense but that doesn't mean it isn't a great talking point for the reality impaired.

I'll use it. What the hell. LOL.

:silly:
