No, after Pearl Harbor there wasn't much opposition to WWII, certainly nothing like what we're seeing today. There were some hard core isolationists and Nazi sympathizers who opposed the war, but there numbers were releatively small. There were also some Republican country club business types who looked down there noses at Roosevelt Democrats and thought the war was bad for business, but again fairly small numbers.

What we're seeing today is more of the legacy of the anti-Vietnam boomers.

Thanks for those details.

Well, this is bad then, because it demonstrates that for some percentage of our population, not only did 9/11 not change EVERYTHING, the response to it has only fueled their anti-Americanism.

This, in addition to the self-hatred apparant in so much "political correctness" means that in order to save our civilization the left will have to be completely crushed.

You see, this is what I was thinking about today, how the war on "terrorism" is likely to merge with the ongoing culture "wars".

I am very curious to see how Bush does next year. Barring some bizarre event, I think it will tell the tale. I live in the NY Metro area, folks are SO liberal here I often think I have a distorted view. But, then again, I lost $25 bucks to my kid betting that Hillary! would not win, and I was psychotic (as psychotic as any dem) over the Florida fiasco. Well, that was only the first day or two. After that it was kind of fun & certainly historical and interesting. And hey, my guy won, so I got over it. But I guess I can sympathize with the dems frustration over it. But you know the motto: MOVE ON!

If, after 9/11, the country is still actually split 50/50, we are in deep trouble.
