Intentionally so, although even limited Great Society should have had hard sunset provisions.

I will never be convinced of this. You are a tax wonk, so you are self-interested. I say to the oppressive government rapists, stop fucking the corpses of our recently deceased predecessors and stealing our wealth. eta: fwiw, fyi, unfortunately, in terms of expected inheritances, unless I remarry someone who stands to inherit something, by the old standard, or as amended, the estate tax will have no affect on any benefit I expect to receive in this lifetime.

Of course, thankfully, we always have our second amendment protections to fall back on.


Word. I regret every apology I have ever made. At least I didn't cry, thank god, like that pvssy Durbin.

Are you under the impression that he promised that Germany would never attack us?

I am under the impression that there is a clear meaning to the below quote:

In Boston on October 30 FDR said; “I have said this before but I shall say it again and again and again; your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.”

And that meaning is I will not send troops to Europe. A naval battle with Germany in the Atlantic did not require D-Day. and it is not like that above statement was made without the knowledge of what the handwriting on the wall was.

He lied and our boys died. I agree with his decisions, but that doesn't alter the characterization of his duplicity.

Fulminating? I was not attacking Roosevelt. Or did you not read my post? And everything I have read about Roosevelt says that he wanted the US to enter the war but public opinion was against it. It is conventional wisdom that he was lying when he said "I won't send your boys in a foreign war to fight and die". The Lend Lease act was an act of war. He pretty much gave an entire fleet to the British for nothing. I support what he did. The point is that Roosevelts conduct prior to WWII was much more deceptive than Ws conduct prior to Iraqi Freedom.

2. taking it one step further, I expect the eventual result of W's conduct to be as successful as the results of Roosevelt's clearly duplicitous acts.

The British got a bunch of junk. We got military bases worldwide. We came out ahead on that one.

They were limited leases on non strategic bases. We got nothing. And protecting British shipping in international waters was an act of war. In case you guys forgot, we protected British ships with US Naval protection half way across the Atlantic. In addition, the Germans never sunk anything in our territorial water. Wasn't the Atlantic Charter signed while we were still "neutral"? We were having summits with the head of state of a country at war while supposedly Roosevelt was doing everything to keep us out of war. Before December 7th we instituted the draft and were pretty much mobilizing for war.

Because he was lying. Obviously. Massively.

A a country full of cheese-eating surrender monkeys got a permanent veto on the Security Council.

So who really made out on the deal?

Are the senile feeble old justices, O'conner and Rehnquist, going to clutch at the edges of their blackrobes like petty tyrants until the grim reaper comes calling or will they actually have the decency and respect for our Consitution to step aside and let W do what we elected him to?

Law suits and the President
 

Actually, I was thinking of the Destroyers for bases agreement, where we gave the British some useless destroyers for some naval bases. And I'm not disputing your point that the U.S. was engaged prior to formal declaration of war.

Anyone know anything about Russian tanks?

Who is this "we," kemosabe?

Sorta telling as to the faith they have in the President if they're gonna try and stick it out until their dying breaths. Here's hoping they last another three years.
