In one of the more viral moments from his speech, Christie admonished George Washington while praising the foreign policy of former President Woodrow Wilson, who has been regarded as one of the worst presidents in history mostly due to his insistence in involving America in World War I and his failure to negotiate a fair peace with Germany, which could have prevented World War II.

“In 1917, when Europe was at war and dictatorships were taking over the entire continent, and America had followed the admonition of George Washington since its founding to stay out of foreign entanglements, Woodrow Wilson said, ‘no, if America allows Europe to go under dictatorship, we will be next,'” explained Christie. “Franklin Roosevelt said the same thing 24 years later when Hitler and Mussolini and Hirohito decided that dictatorship is what was going to rule the world.”

Wilson was a tyrant who got into office to stay out of the European War, but did so anyway. A favorite of globalists.

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.

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?
