Well actually, just to prove that I am, I will re-post the most important parts of what I wrote. I will edit it and puncuate it correctley. Here it is....

You seem very upset about my criticism of good ol' FDR...who also put thousands of innocent Japanese-Americans into internment camps.
Im sure you criticize our country and the Bush administration for the Abu-Gharib (however you spell it) prison. But, I bet one of your favorite presidents is FDR, who was DIRECTLEY responsible for the torture of thousands innocent people.
Liberals seem to be very ANTI-WAR even when it comes to defending our country. Times have changed since the "new deal" Democrats, and great Democrats like JFK even. JFK was strong in his stance against the Soviet Union, John Kerry however voted for a nuclear freeze during the cold war. This was at the same time the USSR was openly trying to take over the world. Anyways, we must remember the words of the great Republican William McKinley (who began his campaign promising isolation, but then learned the lesson) and know that we can never stand in isolation and expect to be safe.
Yes, the Spanish American War was entered by the Americans because of mis-information, but those words still should stand strong and history has time and time again tought us that those words could possibly save us from future suffering.
