Don’t know if you believe the Bible, but the Jebusites in King David’s day also claimed that the blind and crippled could defend Jerusalem, then under their name Jebus.
Virginia-born Woodrow Wilson was governor of New Jersey, like Christie. Grover Cleveland was born and died in New Jersey, but his political career was in New York. That’s New Jersey’s claim to presidential fame.
Wilson was wrong to get us into that war. In a way, though, he was something like the first neo-con. The mistakes he made were repeated by LBJ, GWB, and now by Biden. It’s a wise child who knows his own father.
It wasn’t Wilson. The public wanted to go to war.
He wants to be the biggest warmonger.
Somewhere, I recall reading that no less a dignitary than Winston Churchill admitted that the United States should not have become involved in World War I.
Had we not done so, Europe would have negotiated a settlement to one of the most stupid wars in history as they did for their other stupid wars. The constitutional monarchies would have been weakened, but remained intact and there would have been no Adolph Hitler (except as a mediocre artist and paper hanger) and no World War II.
I have come to believe that unlike those who followed, George Washington who was at the root a Virginia farmer, was an isolationist.
Today’s neo isolationists love to quote him
You have to judge his isolationist ideas in the age in which he lived. There was no Internet, high-speed travel, nuclear weapons, etc... things that affect many nations if not the entire world. I think he had the wisdom to judge what would make sense just with regards to policy in the modern world from his common sense and just judgements he made in his lifetime.
Singing for his supper.
With Krispy Kreme Christy it takes a lot of singing because he consumes a lot of supper.
My respect for the military has a personal foundation as my father served in WWII.
Therein lies the problem.
What has the military done in the last eight decades to garner respect?
It is laughable that the warmongers the Republican wing of the Uniparty are trotting out are a fatboy blowhard and Miss Lindsey Grahamanesty whose military service was as a lawyer.
Is a glutton and a fay all the military industrial complex got to do their bidding?
