How did that "America First" thing work out last time?

Great, until FDR betrayed neutrality and embroiled us in the bloodiest war in world history. We've been on the offense ever since. Perhaps its time to rediscover G. Washington's advice on foreign affairs.

What was Washington's advice? Sign a treaty with France?

Yep, we should have just waited until Nazi troops were on the Mexican border.

Hitler and Tojo did that...FDR had no choice...unless of course he wanted the axis powers to succeed as apparently was the case for the America firsters.

Perhaps it's time take into account about two hundred years' worth of advances in military technology and the rise of totalitarian ideologies. And the inconvenient fact that we no longer can hide ourselves behind the British Navy.

No, that was a guy named Hitler that started all of that. Germany declared war against the United States before we got involved over there.

Japan initiated hostilities against us. Hitler declared war on us. And you're blaming FDR?
