PA24, you are the ignorance of the Tea Party personified. You know nothing about my career or personal life, and yet you somehow feel entitled to attack me personally because you disagree with what little you know of my political convictions. You no doubt consider yourself a model of patriotic courage. It sounds more likely to me that you have no interest whatsoever in free speech and would silence anyone who dares to contradict you if you only could. The more you rave, the better with me. Your freedom of speech lets others see you for what you are. Canvasback, Good for you to say you don't know enough to judge me as a teacher.

....you are the ignorance of the Tea Party personified. You know nothing about my career or personal life, and yet you somehow feel entitled to attack me personally because you disagree with what little you know of my political convictions.... Every time you disagree with a comment, you belittle the position and then extend comments to include Fox News and the TEA Party folks. You're always right and other opinions are referred as a joke. You also don't interact with discussion and have a tendency to do drive by attacks then leave. It may be how you present yourself that give people what little they know about your political convictions. If you have a different image that you'd rather project, why not just tell the folks. You've asked me for 'facts', I've asked for a little tolerance, but as you know, absolutely nothing comes of it.

I'll tell you this Bill, you can be damn thankful that you weren't a teacher in my school when I was a kid. Your ass would have been grass and our Republican school board would have been a lawn mower.

Doug, the US was isolationist for the first half of the last century, the Munroe Doctrine part of it, declaring the New World and the Old World were to remain distinctly separate spheres of influence. Americans didn't want to be mixed up with interminable European wars and wrangling.
When I watched earlier Teddy R. episodes I didn't realize the extent to which the old trooper campaigned against all odds to get the US into the First World War was almost identical to FDR's barely legal efforts to get the US into the Second. A German torpedo decided it for the First, Pearl Harbour the Second.
US participation in the Second made it the new world empire.

King,
What you mention above is correct. People like Charles Lindberg are prime examples of this philosophy, as he lived it and preached it around the world, even after flying some of Hermann Goerings new equipment. Lindberg, like all liberals, came back from Germany in 1938-39 saying "there is nothing to fear, they are our friends"...and of course Neville Chamberlain and his Hitler signed b.s. document were just as liberal and gullable as Lindberg, if not more so.......
FDR channeled large amounts of appropriated funds away from the military in the 1930's to social programs just as our current POTUS is doing today. But the sheeple loved him.
This of course was completely reversed when we were attacked at Pearl Harbor, just as the current POTUS'S poor decisions are reversing his military decisions all over the world at present. Stay tuned there is an awful lot more to come.
Doug

The abject stupidity being exhibited by the current administration accurately follows the course of the Roosevelt administration during the 30s up to WW II. Back then,although I for one don't believe it, it could be argued that Roosevelt had stated he HAD NO INTENT to get the U S into another world war and decreasing our military to increase his social programs made sense. As someone pointed out earlier it took us 3 years of concentrated effort from 1941 on to get our military and industry ramped up to really fight in WW II. We don't have that luxery today with ICBMs, dirty bombs and a porous border that virtually anyone can cross. ISIS has stated they intend to bring their terrorism here and I for one believe them. We need strong leadership who are willing to take the neccessary steps to insure the safety of American citizens and we don't have that today.

Your ass would have been grass and our Republican school board would have been a lawn mower. I of course agree but why even listen to this clown ,he is concerned with two things, his government sponsored pension(sucking on the government tit while the homeowners in his district suffer) and the continued indoctrination of the children into the socialist ways. he is a nothing,he knows what he is told by his liberal masters and nothing else-he has no mind of his own its dominated by the libtard doctrine . Its just going to get worse for those like Bill come Nov and then, the hearings and impeachments will begin.

ed: Bill is sincere in his discussions here. You just bait and troll. You don't give a damn, one way or the other, about the arguments you make here. You just hope to stir someone into a rage or a rant.
Bill earned his pension during his decades of teaching. Just as the monthly retirement payments of social security are earned, Bill's pension is earned. There is no "sucking".
I am glad to be here.

I agree Mike, with slight differences though. I think I know Bill is sincere, but when it comes to taking sides, he doesn't seem real long on discussion. I've always figured Bill's business is his business alone. Separate from him, there's no doubt a big sucking sound. I may be mistaken, but I thought some bean counter in detroit said they have to budget for three police departments, one active and two retired. Only an example is all, but libs are flat out unwilling to discuss it let alone have answers. But, hey we know who the enemy is, doesn't matter what's going on around us, it goes right down the middle of America.
