It's to bad we don't have a poster campaign like this again today.

There are actually things we all can do to help.

Yes there are and some are being done by people like the Minutemen at the price of being ridiculed and derided by lesser politicians and labeled as vigilantes by the Commander on Chief.

The need is as great now as it was then but the commitment of our leaders is diluted by profit motives. The unshaken solidarity of our people is diluted by a growing number of illegals with allegiance to foreign powers.

Back then we were "One nation..........." but today we are becoming "Many nationals............"

Back then we were a family and if anyone messed with one, they would have to answer to all. Today we are like a family with twelve children, all by a different father, none of which is living at home and when someone messes with one, everyone stands around talking about what their missing father might do if he ever shows up.
In the case of our nation, the missing fathers are our elected leaders who come around only when they want to get laid (elected) after which they disappear.

Don't be too critical of the American public.

It's unfair to compare the results of a full censorship/multimillion dollar propaganda regime like the US in WWII with either Vietnam or Iraq.

Why Johnson, Nixon, and President Bush all decided not to use the war power of the United States to sustain their policies, as Roosevelt, Wilson, and Lincoln had done before them, is a mystery to me.

The war power of the United States is virtually without limit. If it were exercised today, cable channels would be broadcasting good news from the war zone 24/7, Michael Moore and Kos would be in detention facilities, AND you could have your posters.

And of course the ACLU would disallow the one with Joe Louis because he is saying "we are on God's side." Breaching that precious wall between church and state, you know

You do not understand the war power granted to Congress in Article I, section 8, if you can say that.

If our war power were properly and legally applied, sedition would be punished, not with online quips but with detention in a camp in Utah.

Do you seriously think Roosevelt and Marshall would have left pro-Nazi advocates at liberty to spread their poison? Or that newspapers which repeatedly printed censored true information, or lies, about the war would have stayed in business?

War is war. The Congress has virtually unlimited power to wage it.

Why not do it?

I understand the war power. I also understand that it would never be applied today. Ted Kennedy would have been the first occupant of that camp in Utah if it were.

Just too bad Dr Seuss didn't see the Soviets as that much of a threat after WWII.

I like the way he used a WWII poster to make a modern message.....just take the helmet and change it to a kevlar helmet with a three-color desert cammie cover, put the soldier in a proper flak vest, modern desert BDU's, and change the canteen cup to OD or tan plastic, and that design would work excellently! Some things just hold up after 60+ years.

That's an odd propaganda poster. (I think it's "odd" in a good way, but I'm not sure.) Do you know anything more about it?

Is there any way that this thread/subject could be placed at the top of the thread page so that Freepers would be encouraged to create/use posters?

As appealing as that sounds, I'm happier this way...
