    Well that was the republican approach pre-WWII, the party was pro-isolation, remember the Draft instituted in 1940, the Burke Wadsworth act was not wildly popular

        The White House got torched because the British (and their Canadian colonists) once again invaded America. Therefore, the war of 1812 was a legitimate war.

        Not much chance of some opium farmer in Afghanistan pulling that off.

          Who pulled off the following attack: Liza Minnelli? William Shatner? Oh I know.. Mudpeople did it.



          Now what was it you're saying about the mudpeople - that their drug sales can't fund anything, that they are stuipid.. or maybe they just really, really wish us the best of luck with our economy?

              Please notify DHS regarding your new list of True WTC Attackers, there's nothing I can do with it.

              After they ignore you and send a Decline to Investigate email, please post it here so we can settle this new controversy of yours.

              Far as I know it was Mudpeople who still pose a threat, they farm drugs, which pay people to attack us today.

                    Factoring in the folks who are working two or three part-time jobs, or who've dropped off unemployment when their UIB benefits ran out, the corrected figure is 16 percent.

                    I think the Depression figure is officially around twenty percent unemployed.
                    The Great Depression figure is over 25% unemployed with spikes of joblessness that were even greater than that...

                    And a better way to rekindle my dreams would be for Thome (and you) to stop with the mindless attention whoring. I wouldn't want to have to ban you guys when they make me SupermodLLC for life here...

                      Another oft spoken myth. In fact the U.S. was easing out of the depression by 1940, over a year before we were in WWII. And there was a big recession after WWII brought on by food shortages and and the lack of civil production...

                          Thanks for the jerkoff study accepted by virtually no one outside of Fox News...

                          Upon deeper examination, I discovered that the right bases its New Deal revisionism on the short-lived recession in a year straddling 1937 and 1938. But that was four years into Roosevelt’s term—four years marked by spectacular economic growth. Additionally, the fleeting decline happened not because of the New Deal’s spending programs, but because Roosevelt momentarily listened to conservatives and backed off them. As Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman notes, in 1937-38, FDR “was persuaded to balance the budget” and “cut spending and the economy went back down again.”

                          To be sure, you can credibly argue that the New Deal had its share of problems. But overall, the numbers prove it helped—rather than hurt—the macroeconomy. “Excepting 1937-1938, unemployment fell each year of Roosevelt’s first two terms [while] the U.S. economy grew at average annual growth rates of 9 percent to 10 percent,” writes University of California historian Eric Rauchway.

                          What about the New Deal’s most “massive government intervention”—its financial regulations? Did they prolong the Great Depression in ways the official data didn’t detect?

                          Nope.

                          According to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, “Only with the New Deal’s rehabilitation of the financial system in 1933-35 did the economy begin its slow emergence from the Great Depression.” In fact, even famed conservative economist Milton Friedman admitted that the New Deal’s Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was “the structural change most conducive to monetary stability since ... the Civil War.”

                          OK—if the verifiable evidence proves the New Deal did not prolong the Depression, what about historians—do they “pretty much agree” on the opposite?

                          Again, no.

                          As Newsweek’s Daniel Gross reports, “One would be very hard-pressed to find a serious professional historian who believes that the New Deal prolonged the Depression.”

                          But that’s the critical point I somehow forgot last week—the truism we must all remember in 2009: As conservatives try to obstruct a new New Deal, they’re not making any arguments that are remotely serious.

                            If "war" fixed the economy, then we should be doing better than ever right now because of Chimpy's stupid wars. Obviously, that theory is bullshit.
