...roosevelt took steps to encourage our entry into WWII.

And that was wrong, you say. Allow me to summarize for you:

"We had no business coming to the aid of Britain - we won our freedom from them - we don't owe them a thing. They had no business coming to the aid of Poland - let Hitler have his way with them - he was no threat to Britain. And who gives a damn about the French? Oh, and talk about revisionist history - where'd that holocaust fiction come from anyway? Hollywood - that's it - those commies. You know, if we'd only left Hitler alone, we wouldn't have had to worry about commies those next 45 years and we would have enjoyed a half century of prosperity instead of steady decline."

An apologist for both terrorists and fascists. You go, craig!

Wait, I think America did have a half century of prosperity. Now we're into the next century of the same.

Damn! No matter how hard the comrades try, those stupid Americans just won't give up that positive Spirit.

But you say: "Don't you get it? We're on the fast track to hell and you all want to shut your eyes to it."

ROTFL

<<even a basic understanding of WWII history would help you understand that roosevelt took steps to encourage our entry into WWII. >>

Of course, and Joe Kennedy was an ardent isolationist, and it cost him any further advances of his career in US politics. But i suppose you would rather now be living in, not the United States, but a large colony of Nazi Germany?

I happen to believe that freedom is worth defending, Craig.
