Isolationism Strikes Again
By Ronald Radosh

...”To the isolationists, Franklin D. Roosevelt was not a democratically elected President, but a virtual dictator, who if the U.S. went to war, as Senator Robert A. Taft put it, would become “a complete dictator over the lives and property of our citizens.” Like the left today, Taft claimed that the President was presiding over a state that allegedly had become fascist, and in which the President showed “a complete lack of regard for the rights of Congress,” and in which he was making policy “in violation of the people’s will.”

Seems Americans are suffering from Historical Amnesia. -gris

So history repeats itself. Like Taft, the Left and Ron Paul are wrong. Why do you think that this war isn’t the will of the people? Because the Left says so? The country has never been Fascist. Not then and not now. I take great offense at those that think so. Furthermore, I can’t understand why people would stay in a country that they have so little regard for. I wouldn’t.
