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,

George Washington was correct to BEWARE of foreign entanglements. We should not have been a part of WWI.

Cristy Creme is high on sugar.

Had we listened to the founders especially THE GREATEST AMERICAN of ALL TIME, George Washington, we would be so much better off right now.

Germamy was no more a dictatorship in 1914 than France. Aistria with its famously feared secret police was on a par with the Allies’ Russia. Christie just revealed he knows nothing about history.

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
