Julianne Malveaux is a socialist - who likes to get paid.

The guy whow wrote this piece is a good troop. God bless him.

[mtbopfuyn]

Preaching to the choir.

[RexBeach]

whow=who.

No - just informing people of facts that many probably don't know. At least I didn't anyway.

This guy is a great writer. I'm waiting for his book. It was supposed to be published by now. I have not seen it in stores.

Have you?

bttt

[Integrityrocks]

Great piece! We need more of these to get out around the internet.

[FReepaholic]

Excellent article. Thanks for posting it.

I'll be forwarding it to my email address book.

I had not heard of the Baruch plan.

How many nations, with an army and navy superior to any others, and an economy capable of producing more weapons and material than any other, with forces already deployed for conquest, would try to conquer the world while they had such advantages?

Well, the case could be made for China in the 1400s. They were dominant and even sent expeditions as far as the coast of Africa. At that point, they packed in the whole deal and tried to wall out the rest of the world.

"Nations like the Soviet Union, Britain, Germany, Japan and China were near ruin. Their populations were demoralized, their military forces and arsenals depleted. Their cities and towns were demolished. We could easily have conquered the world."

we could have easily conquered the world????

easily???

forgive me, but i cannot agree

History is littered with attempts to conquer the world.

(reference a recent thread on FR about the difficulties we would have had just conquering Russia....discussing the "Patton plan")

That we did not attempt it speaks to our understanding or the difficulites involved,

as well as the simple fact that we don't want it

which was the author's point, anyway

Julianne Malveaux is nasty black racist. She told a television audience, "I hope [Thomas’s] wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter, and he dies early, like many black men do, of heart disease. . . .He’s an absolutely reprehensible person." Imagine the public outcry we would have heard if white speakers had uttered such mean-spirited nonsense.

Yeah Malveaux is a whacky commie.

Therefore it is no surprise she is the darling to the mainstream media!!!

USA Today columnist indeed!

I agree, it wouldn't have been easy, but it was distinctly possible at the end of WWII, considering the state of the US war footing at the time. The author is correct about that.

History is replete with examples of US altruism, the world likes to forget in their self-interest:

Returning Phillipines, Cuba, Nicaraugua, countless islands in the Pacific (many who then voted to become American protectorates or states), Kuwait, Afghanistan, Iraq, and MANY other nations to self-rule. No other country in the history of the world has better honored it's international treaties and pacts.

[SMARTY]

After the second war, the US packed up and wen home...THEN we sent aid and money to our defeated enemies and ruined allies.

The Soviets did NOT. They negotiated the peace from the ground they stood on at the end of hostilities and the issue of a Soviet return to prewar frontiers was NOT negotiable.

It just fries my butt that this practical and emotional fact of post-war life is and has always been overlooked. Millions upon millions of E. European people got and stayed behind the eight ball for 70 years while the rest of the world (with the corroboration liberal media) continued to see and portray Communism as a legitimate and viable alternative for them. Disgusting! The media dealt with Communism as if it were legitimate and had a moral equivalence to the free world. No professor I ever had credited the US with its magnanimous behavior for first of all fighting and winning against Hitler, then for subsequent US largess toward allies and the defeated after the dust settled.

Thank goodness for the genius of General Marshall, too bad the rest of the world doesn't produce men of similar character anymore.

They're getting pretty rare in this nation on the left too, that's for sure.

[siddude]

article very well written. we do not use our power for conquest and subjugation..

[Miami Vice]

Please, please, please, all of you email publisher@theevningbulletin.com and tell them your brilliant comments and let them know you read the article.

We need to support conservative, daily, metropolitan newspapers. This is the only conservative newspaper in the country's 5th largest city and they need to know people are reading them online and in print.

I subscribe to them. It's only $75/year. So if you live in the area do so.

At least send them an email

THANKS for posting it, I know some lefties i'm going to give a copy to.

[Hardastarboard]

Sorry to bother you, but I didn't see that thread about the "Patton plan" to conquer Russia. Can you provide the link? Thanks greatly.
