then immediately goes into demonizing Roosevelt as being evil for going to war with Hitler.

OK. If you mean its implied i see where your coming form, but i don't see where he actually sais that.

I've got a flag on my truck. Interestingly enough, nobody told me to put it there, nobody forced me to put it there and nobody better try to take it off there.

I think the author is stating that nobody told you to put a flag on your truck but they did tell you what it stands for. Same Hitler told the Germans what the swastika stood for (even though in reality it didn't). I never knew the swastika was used by American tribes and and ancient Hindus. I'd really like to see an article that explains this, as it has also been found in a 3rd or 4th Century church in Macedonia.

The concept of Bush "whipping" us into a war frenzy is absurd

Again I don't see where it sais this. Unless you mean implied.

I think the article is quite good on explaining the use of propganda.

I'm not trying tp insult you, but us English not your mother tongue ? I notice that you have continually misspelled the word " says ". If this is the case, then that is why you are having a problem really understanding the article you posted.

For starters, the demonizing of the enemy, is millenia old. It was well done, and stirred the populace , every bit as did Hitler and his use of music, flags, an ancient Roman salute, and a panoply of other things, NOT invented by, nor even particularly even associated with American advertizing or FDR ! Yes, the " twisted cross " is a VERY ancient Indian ( India, as in Hindu, as well as American Indian ) symbol. This IS common knowledge ! It's amazing that you do not know this.

This article is a Libertarian screed ; nothing more ! Its main purpose, which the author took his time to get to, was to Bash President Bush and the War on Terror. You are either guilless, or a fraud.

I notice you clip a lot of articles concerning the Balkans.

You may have a good reason for being pissed off at the US.

Of late we have lost our footing a bit and 'gone off center'. We had a corrupt leader that was willing to lob cruise missles willy nilly to hide a blow job. The American people thought we were helping an opressed underdog people in the Balkans.

We should have kept our nose out of that one and we are indeed guilty. I suppose we can tell ourselves that we lessened the bloodshed but we've probably only postponed it.

Sorry. Really.
