Oh good, I thought we were going to be denied your erudition.

Perhaps you can enlighten me as to what are you talking about? Who's help?, who's we?

I doubt if you were around at the time. If you were, you would have been cheering on Hitler's cause up until June 1941 when he invaded Russia. That's what all the other Lefties were doing at that time (on the instructions of the Comintern). :rolleyes:

ok - you're not American - apologies.
Still my point was that you implied that manipulation of US public opinion by FDR was a bad thing. :2twocents

PS and conversely, I certainly have no idea of what you're talking about cheering for Hitler :eek:
I'm guessing you're lumping together everyone who cheered for Hitler under one umbrella - sheesh Prince Edward, probably Mrs Simpson, Joe Kennedy , etc etc

btw pronto - make sure you watch Chifley's Battle for Coal - Labor taking on the Commos post war .. currently on TV - you might find that some of those sweeping generalisations of yours are pretty inaccurate. :2twocents

Infamous Victory: Ben Chifley's Battle For Coal
Thursday, November 6, 8.30pm
Channel: ABC1
Using rare archival footage and re-creations, this dramatised documentary takes viewers into the corridors of power to show how Labor Party leader Ben Chifley took on and defeated the growing forces of communism in Australia.

PS I'm not saying I'm not enjoying your posts - no links but never mind - just that some of your generalisations are a bit strange.

My favorite President will be the one who takes the USA to a contemporary version of what was originally intended. And this is identical to what I would like to see in this country:
  • Personal liberty
  • Small government
  • Free markets

Amen to that!

Lol...

yeah...

because those "lefties" would not have been fighting the fascists in Spain. Nope. Not at all... :rolleyes:

I think you'll find most who supported Hitler were linked in some way to big business (in the US at least). You know, people like Prescott Bush, Thomas J. Watson, head of IBM who helped set up Dehomag - which allowed for the massive amounts of Jewish deaths.

I am actually yet to read any prominent "leftie" during that time that supported Hitler to be honest.
 
*NEWS*

ITALIAN Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi today praised US election victor Barack Obama as "young, beautiful and tanned" and said the world saw him as a messiah.

*NEWS*

Tanned? :eek:

I hope he didn't use any nasty solariums to achieve his all-over "tan"! :)

Cracks me up....... ROFLMAO!! What WAS Silvio on when he made those comments? ;)
 
Talented. ;)

But it wouldn't be beyond belief to think that this far right leader has never seen a black man.

Especially considering the only time Howard had seen a black man was on his Dad's slave ranch.

To ask this question is to miss the point on what the President is really meant to be. The American founding fathers never wanted another 'King George III' over them, but over time that is exactly what the US has ended up with; an Imperial Presidency.

Ok, let me ask again, who are the good presidents in your eyes?
