Except, what the hell was going on in the world in 1938, 1958, and 1986. NOTHING! Here we are in the beginning of a long, brutal, and bitter war and the nation throws it towards the Dems. And who is to blame? Screw the blame. Let America go through two years of Charlie Rangell, Alcee Hastings, John Conyers, and Stretch Pelosi. And you Freepers who sat out or voted for your vaunted pot-smoking Libertarians - to quote Al Pacion - EF YOU TOO!!!!

1938: Hitler in Germany...

1958: Cold war...

Hmmm...i'm sure something was brewing in 1938...can't quite put my finger on it...

Anyone who blames this on Freepers is a moron. They saw the opportunity and with their willing accomplices in the press, they seized the it. I think I will take the rest of the week off from politics. I need to get a hobby.

I like your style.

There was a problem or two brewing in 1938. Sorry.

After NYC gets nuked or somesuch, I'll have the "Don't blame me, I voted Republican" bumper sticker on. A lot of good it'll do then.

Who's Al Pacion?

I've heard of no evidence of the dreaded conservative boycott... got any?

One happy consequence of this election could be that all republicans direct their fire at the OTHER SIDE, the dims & libs, all the way to 2008 and not at each other. But we'll see.

One thing that may be depended upon - Dem'crats will be unable to stop themselves from being Dem'crats, and they will overreach. And since their reach will certainly exceed their grasp, they will be like the kid who tried to pull the whole fistful of cookies out of the cookie jar.

They are going to have to let go of something before they may pull out anything.

The Dem'crats may have a slim majority, but they shall not have a mandate.

Huh?

1938--The Great Depression continues. The Anchluss. "Peace in our time." Germans take over Czechoslovakia.

1958--Height of the Cold War.

1986--Reagan/Gorbachov Summit in Iceland that effectively doomed the Soviet Union.

Nothing, indeed.

What happened in 1938?

The buildup to World War II began in the 1930's and the actual war began in 1939

"xcept, what the hell was going on in the world in 1938, 1958, and 1986. NOTHING! Here we are in the beginning of a long, brutal, and bitter war and the nation throws it towards the Dems."

A joke?

1938 had Hitler
1958 was the midst of the cold war
1986 was the least perilous of the three but the cold war was still going on.

Don't forget McDermott, folks. Don't forget McDermott. Of all of them, he's the most wrapped around the axle against America.
