>> Yeah, the last 65 years of relative peace and unprecedented prosperity have been brutal.

I used to look at my neighbor's lifestyle and think, "What a wealthy bastard". Later, I read about his bankruptcy in the newspaper.

You see, "prosperity" isn't always all it appears to be.

As to peace, I do believe FDR was a great wartime president; a lot of what GWB did in his eight years most certainly would have been done by FDR were he in the presidency.

FDR was not a chickenshit liberal. He was a liberal, but he knew America was not to be f*cked with.

Don't you have any sense of just how laughable your position is? Don't you take any pride in putting out an argument that isn't a compete joke?

Oh you should have been here 5-6 years ago. Inode has come a long way.....he's much more plugged into reality. Of course, along the way he had to give up his real name as a tag......probably due to numerous threats. And he has watched his idol president crash and burn. In any case, he has significantly improved his perspective. I know, I know......it might seem hard to believe but its true.
