By all means, let's defer to the judgment of the corrupt, incompetent, anti-American "world leaders" of the United Nations. And, of course, we must turn over our national security to them!

I wish that Hitlery would quit pussy-footing around and announce her candidacy for the Rat nomination.

Then W can kick her sizable arse once and for all, then toss her skankiness onto the scrap heap of history where she so deservedly belongs.

Please forgive Hillary.

She is a moron and an imbecile for sure.......we can all agree on that.

But she attained her seat in the Senate as if she got it from a Cracker Jacks box.

She was handed it by the star-struck voters of New York, who are now realizing, I hope, what a pig in a poke they were sold!!

She still thinks she's "unelected co-president". "Cute" isn't the word for it.

The esoteric thing here is that the common leftist perception is this irritates us.

She's also a dedicated, hard core Communist.

You could have made a darn good case for "quagmire" at the end of 1943. We took North Africa, which was strategically not very significant, but were bogged down in the mountains of southern Italy with no invasion of France in sight.

In the Pacific we had taken Guadalcanal and a few atolls, but were far, far away from invading the Phillipines, much less Japan.

Indeed, some isolationists sneered at "President Roosevelt's War." He must be rolling in his grave seeing that his party is now the home of the sneering isolationists and defeatists.

Yeah, let the UN be in charge of the war, they will cut and run at the 1st sign of trouble. It's a brilliant, witch of NY idea. This ugly evil junior senator from NY put a lot of value in the lives of our military men and women, who risk their lives to defend the USA.

Yes and lets not forget that she fobade them the wearing of their military uniforms in the White House while she resided there as co-president. Not only that, but the military was used as waiters and ushers there.

She is truly a witch.

I have no doubt FDR is rolling in his grave, along with G. Washington, A. Lincoln and probably most of the rest of them. I venture LBJ & R. Nixon are not surprised at the way the American people (some of them) are acting.

But my question really is about WWII, I know Americans were unwilling to get into the war until after Pearl Harbor, but what about after that? Was there carping like there is now? Did Al Smith - or whoever it was run on a platform of "let's get out of Europe and the Pacific? I guess the commies didn't complain so much, since Uncle Joe was on our side.

Was there a vocal and annoying opposition, like now? Or is it that the left today doesn't get that we're in a fight for civilization? Or is it that they do get it, and they hope we're going to lose?

I think it's clear that the witch underestimate the memory and the intellect of our GIs. She will find out in Nov. 2004.

Hillary said that her war zone visit last weekend with not only the military but civilian American representatives revealed

Yep her trip was a real fact finder
Amazing how she became an authority is so short a time
Couldn't be that her speech was prepared before she even boarded the plane NAH

Yes, the same ones who raided their own UN cafeteria because...they knew they could.

Rush is right on target.

Hillary Rotten is the leftwings most admired and respected figure and she is also, the most polarizing individual in American politics today. I thought she would run in 2004 and am disappointed she didn't take the bait. Who knows, there is still plenty of time for the Democrats to see that Dean isn't the right candidate and demand that Hillary come to their rescue. Either way, the Demlib's will lose.

I'm not sure about Al Smith, but Charles Lindburgh, who was an ardent Isolationist before the war, became one of the top covert operations advisors to the OSS. In addition, Wendal Wilkie, who had run against FDR in 1940, went on a number of special diplomatic operations for Roosevelt, including helping convince Brazil to enter the war on our side. This was a key development in preventing Argentina from entering the war on the side of Germany. If Madame Reichsfuhrer Clinton had been around to pull this stunt during WW2, she probably would have suffered a "regretable" accident.

As I understand it, the country was fairly well unanimous in the necessity of defeating Japan. The war in Europe was deja vu all over again, not much enthusiasm on that part of it, at least relatively.

If I remember my reading, it was Tom Dewey running against Roosevelt in '44, and he considered raising some questions about what US intelligence knew about Pearl Harbor prior to the attack. He was dissuaded privately from doing so in the interests of national unity in time of war.
