Thank for the nice post.
Look at how the Republicans conducted themselves during WWII until the present day. Then look at how the Democrats conducted themselves during WWII until the present day.
That should make it crystal clear what has changed.
The democrats have fostered hatred for this nation amongst their followers. We pay a very heavy price for that today.
The truthfulness of the statement saddens this Old Wardog.
President Bush is very aware of what has gone on since WWII. He is very well-versed in matters of history. He knows that the Cold War, Watergate, Vietnam, etc. nuclear freeze, abortion issues have transformed the country.
He is very aware that the left has taken over huge portions of US institutions since WWII. Contrary to what the MSM tells you, he is no dummy. He has succeeded in prosecuting the war toward victory in Iraq and even as we post a Dem congress is foundering and can't get its way on anything.

Sad but all too true. My grandfather utterly despised FDR and the foolish programs he initiated under the guise of alleviating the Great Depression’s impact. But, all of his sons and some of his daughters went off to war after 1941. OK, some of his sons were really to old to serve, I guess, since the eldest had been born in 1896, but all who were of the proper age did. His attitude toward Roosevelt didn’t interfere. “Politics stops at the water’s edge” is a thing of the past and we will all suffer for it.
WAKE UP MORONS, WE’RE IN A FIGHT FOR THE FREEDOM OF THE WORLD!!!!!!
Thank you Veterans for your service no matter how small!!
Thank you to the troops serving our country!!
Moment of silence for the POW’s and MIA’s!

God bless America. What’s left of her.
The water’s edge it is. Thank you.
Thanks for the report on those from your family who served. I appreciate their service very much.
You might want to read up on Charles Lindberg and his efforts to keep the US out of WWII.
We didn’t hear the cries of Torture because the US Government promised to follow the Geneva Conventions even though the Nazi’s and the Japs didn’t. Sure there were instances of US soldiers violating those rules, but they were the exception not the norm.
Finally, WWII was a real threat to our lives, Nazi Germany controlled mainland Europe, large parts of Africa. Japan took over almost all of Asia, drove the US and British out of their Pacific holdings. And successfully launched a full scale attack on a US Military Base.
What have the Islamofascist conquered? Nothing.
The only wars the American people have supported since WWII are the ones that required no sacrifice to speak of, Iraq I, Panama and Barbados come to mind.
Actually if you ever get a chance to read some of the statements of Democrats during the Philippine insurrection at the beginning of the 20th Century you will find the same dislike for the military, the same focus on American war crimes and faults, and the same blatant use of the issue for political power. William Jennings Byron for example voted for the war then actively attacked the war he voted for.
Democrats only play nice when their Presidents conduct wars.
This is the day when I hope we all remember them.
Correction - Nothing yet......
If we don’t continue to persevere.
Thanks for the tip. Lyndon Johnson took it in the shorts so much so that he declined to run again. I always wondered if his cancer figured into the decision though.
Sorry... did you actually just try and insinuate that torture is part of the US’s SOP with regards to terrorists?
I think it is you who should reacquiant themselves with history. The purpose of the government is to protect civilians... this is why we have a military. Tell us how many American civilians were killed by the Japanese or the Germans, please. Now, tell us how many American civilians have been killed by Wahabist Islam.
If you think that fewer American lives are threatened now than during the Second World War, you are wrong. Nuclear technology, a science fiction tale to most of the world sixty five years ago, is now more readily available than ever. What will it take for a nuclear detonation in New York, LA... anywhere? Not much, save for us letting down our guard.
The last sentence says it all. I am still mad at the President and his stupid advisors for trying to “comfort” all us poor scared Americans by telling us, “It’s OK, go about you lives, we’ll take care of it.” COmplete patronizing BS! He should have gathered that anger and fear and made the Country come together instead of that government is your mommy BS.
They had Afghanistan.
They almost had Iraq.
They're about to have Pakistan - with nukes.
Is the US ready to do in Pakistan what was done in Iraq & Afghanistan?
It kills me to say this but I think he is right;where did all of the Americans go.
