That was true from September 1939 until Dec 6, 1941 too. US sat on its collective thumbs until Dec. 1941. Sorry Perfesser...the US was sending huge amounts of aid prior to December 6. We would have sent more sooner had Britain repaid what we gave her in WWI. An enemy doesn't have to be on your doorstep to be a threat. There is much to be said for the deterrent effect of a large standing force. As for the rest of you who live in the US and thumb your noses at the armed forces...you should be ashamed of yourselves. While you might not agree you should at least give props for the individuals who serve. I doubt any of you would make the kind of sacrifices they do. Please don't dent the planet.

That is because there is not a single fucking Sikh who is a Muslim. Typical ignorance. Islam is an Abrahamic Religion like your Christianity. Sikhism is a Dharmic Religio like Hinduism and Buddhism. An arrogant lib...what a surprise. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

As are you John. The business you work for are in lockstep with the government and the student loan ponzi scheme. While you might not have them, your business is laden with people who continue to suckle at the teet of Uncle Sam because they're unprepared for the world we live in. It's only after the student loan teet is ripped from their mouthes do they start complaining about how much student loans cost. And you can bet they will live their lives indebted to the government until they croak. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

The US taxpayer paid it for him. You are advocating and promoting socialized education. We already have socialized education. K-12 schools are paid for by the taxpayer. How much of the tab are taxpayers picking up for a college education through grants and such? No different and in many ways better. At least the government gets something back for the money they've spent. And the recipient doesn't enter the workforce with huge student loans that will never be paid back.

So you think Liberalism is always correct? I guess it depends on your slant. I wonder if Roe v. Wade got it right. You guys killed nuclear energy in this country. Obamacare? Please. Am I concerned about men who identify as women and such? Not really. NAFTA? The list is long on your side as well. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Why? My son is a Nuclear Machinists Mate on a new Virginia Class Sub being commissioned in September. USS Indiana. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTdmcCODPA4 The things he's learned have earned him his EPA Certificate and a trade in commercial HVAC systems. The Navy gave him a signing bonus of $91K when he graduated nuke school in Charleston and will likely put another carrot out to him when he gets to within 18 months of the end of his commitment (he's 2 years out now). Guess how much he paid for that education... My daughter also enlisted in the USN but was seperated due to an under-age drinking charge. I'm still encouraging her to learn a trade.

Ok.. so you think a long term, high level political strategist for the republicans, a man who stuck with the party through both of Clinton's terms, who stuck with the party when Obama was in office and the Dems had both houses of Congress, has now suddenly snapped and is so scared of a completely imaginary anti-republican backlash that he has turned his back on his friends, his colleagues and his career... even though the real tide of public opinion is still with the Republicans? That's the explanation which makes so much sense to you that anyone who disagrees must be on drugs? For real? Ok then. In this country we're still allowed to have our opinions. Your spittle laced diatribe aside, you realize you're defending a politician, correct? You just might be 100% correct that he's seen the error of his ways, had a come to Jebus moment, and is a really good person. Oh, I forgot. Liberals don't entertain the possibility they might be wrong. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Not my profession...sorry. But I did encourage my children to learn a trade vs. the US system of higher educ...umm...err...higher tuition. Let me clarify it for you; college perfessers can't throw dirt on the education level of the nation without getting some on themselves. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

The voters chose Clinton. The Electoral College chose Trump. Jerry Baumchen Thanks for the update Jerry. I'm not edumacated enough to understand that Hillary is now POTUS.

It's the professionals' fault, is it?* When the Islamist insurgencies were winning back territory in Afghanistan in the mid to late 2000's was it because the US and Coalition soldiers on the ground were incompetent? * Leaving aside that he works for a University, and therefore has nothing to do with the schools system. Absolutely not...more than likely a problem with the folks who pull the strings. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

The average voter voted liberal, remember. Which is it, then? Liberal elitist policies have alienated american voters, or the liberal winds of change are blowing so strongly that they're going to carry the midterms and spineless republicans are having scurry to the left because they want to be on the winning side? Can't have it both ways, bub. That's not both ways. I'm referring to him, not the party as a whole. See, that's where you always get in trouble. You think because one rat jumps ship the ship must be sinking. It's possible the rat just panicked. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

That's the point. If you're not given that all mammals are animals, you cannot assume it. It's tricky on purpose, in order to catch people in a common logical error. So it is, in essence, a test aimed at the "poorly educated" folk that Trump loves. Welcome to America John. Your profession has done it's job so badly that you boast of it.

What do you mean? He's not an elected office-holder. He's not running for anything. What 'backlash' does he fear? And what is he covering his ass for (or from)? Yeah comments like this from airdvr and other comments from people like rush, ron, nohlhart show that many of the right have abandoned any form of critical thinking. Everything that is contrary to their predetermined opinions, which they maintain are facts, is immediately discarded. Truth and facts have absolutely no impact on them. People are proud to be stupid, it means they are not part of the elite. I'm sorry I'm not as edumacated as you. Didn't you guys learn in the last election the elitist attitude you wrap yourself in doesn't wash with the average voter? I stand by my statement however. You think he's grown a spine...I think he's sailing with the wind at his back, whether it's taking him in or out. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

What do you mean? He's not an elected office-holder. He's not running for anything. What 'backlash' does he fear? And what is he covering his ass for (or from)? If he's branded a Republican he's a politician. IDC if he's running for office or not, he's savvy enough to see the wind shift and is spineless enough to cover his own ass. It'll probably come back to bite him. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Like most spineless pols he is simply running for cover. He fears a backlash and is playing CYA. Not surprising. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Sadly, my acid experiences were all too frequent. With me the trip was a hoot but coming down was mortifying, end of the world stuff. Bad idea for someone who already has emotional problems. I think it's just one more drug to mask real problems. During my divorce I was prescribed Lexapro. The doctor told me it was to take the tops off the highs and lows. To me it had a numbing effect (and a really bad effect on Mr. Happy). Once I stopped I realized I was still in the same place I'd been prior to taking it. Please don't dent the planet.
