Remember; Appeasement worked SO WELL for Neville Chamberlain!

1. excuse me Ben, but come on! take a breath man n/t

2. It did: It gave them time to build up their military and WIN. n/t

3. Puh-leeze, most DU peaceniks would have applauded Chamberlain

Thank God FDR didn't kowtow to pacifists. It's too bad so many Democrats have abandoned their party's traditional hawkish stance on foreign policy. It was hawks like FDR, Truman, Kennedy and LBJ who made us the majority party in this country.

4. what would FDR do? Ignore the declaration of war?

And hey, Vietnam was a real winner for the country.

8. I was referring to the compromise in the Senate. nt

5. The pacifists weren't the ones opposing the war

It was the Republicans who had money to lose if we went to war with Germany. Too many had invested a ton of money in the Nazi economy. The liberals and progressives wanted the war. Listen to Woodie Guthrie songs of the era.

Different war. Someone else started it. Liberals always oppose the person who starts the war, even it is our own country. We are consistent. Conservatives blow in the wind.

6. It might have worked better if Chamberlain and the others

had not broken the agreement first.

Though, then again, with Hitler, it probably wouldn't have made a difference.

7. Oh come on now- I'm looking forward to "working with" GOP liars.

I mean, they may have lied us into a war, but we can still trust 'em.

I fully trust all Democrats who think they can trust "WMD" Republicans.

Stop DEM bashing and pretend everything is great.

9. I'd love to work with them too!

But only if I can do my working with a meat cleaver.

[Dr Fate]

10. STOP DEM BASHING!!!

Er- I mean- you know saying...those..."things."

I am sure the DEMs know somthing we dont, they are playing rope-a-dope, setting a quiet trap, or whatever. I know- It's the media's fault!!!

We can trust people who trust the people who lied us into a multi-billion dollar war- it all makes good sense.

11. Some days I think our Senators have cosmic "Kick Me" signs...

just floating above their heads...

12. Do we should not appease the North Koreans but attack them immediately

Palease.......give me a break. If you don't try talking first then you are nothing more than a War Monger and Profiteer.

[benburch]

13. The difference is that the North Koreans are no threat to our survival.

The GOP on the other hand is attempting to wipe out the US Constitution, and to me that is a reason for total war.
