Quote: You respect that? You must love Hitler then. He got a lot done no one liked. If the fleet was in Pearl to defend the islands they would have been stationed around them not stacked up in a harbor partying. Indeed. Look at the fact that at one point, just before the attack, a...

Quote: What?....Guess ya had to see the movie.... Q9 do ya have somewhere where they tell if the president actually complimented this plan? I know a lot about the day of but not a whole lot about the months leading up to it. It's unconfirmed whether FDR saw it or not, but since all 8 points...

Quote: Precisely. The part underlined in red really creeps me out. It's such a stereotypical conspiracy that I still have trouble believing it. Still, that's what the evidence points to.

Quote: That's not entirely true. It all depends on your definition of "economy." If you define it as GDP and employment, that would theoretically count as "getting us out." But almost all of the production improvement came from building bombs, ships, airplanes, and tanks, rather than...

Quote: Oh, you're a spelling Nazi like I am. Good to know I'm not alone. Also, Yamamoto may have been referring in part to industrial might, but keep in mind that we were in the middle of the Depression, so the industrial might wasn't looking too impressive at that time. He had to have a...

Quote: That was so freaking random, and is somehow on AND off topic at the same time! Congratulations, we have succeeded in creating an epic paradox. I've noticed that when I post threads do one of three things: #1: Go waaaaaaay off topic. #2: Die. #3: Go way off topic and then get...

Quote: The Yamamoto one? I don't remember, but I've read it in several places. I'll have to search for it.

Just because I zero in on irrelevant little things like this... "We might be speaking German." Huh? The Nazis couldn't even make it across the English Channel thanks to an incompetent Luftwaffe and Operation Barbarossa (Which translates to "Epic Fail"), what makes you think they could make it...

Quote: I think, for once, that the car seat requirements are justified, as young children really can't determine what's safe, although, again, it would need to be ruled by the state, not Congress. Now, if older folks want to be goofwads and ride without seat belts, be my guest. Congress and...

Quote: Sorry, but that's just not correct. There was no "cash" pumped into the economy during the '20s, as we were still on the gold standard -- something many, many folks today claim is the cure for all that ails us as a nation. The fact of the matter is that we had more, and more, and more...

Quote: Let me state AGAIN, I read plenty of material by opponents. I remain unimpressed. Chernobyl was run by the government of the USSR, and Three Mile Island killed no one, and even then, the energy sector was mostly controlled by the government. As for the BP oil spill, again, it's not...

Quote: You just said exactly the same thing I did. I'm not quite sure how that's an indictment of the free market.

Quote: Please tell me you're kidding. You think public schools do a good job with that? Why is it that the vast majority of Americans are big-government folks? I know conservatives claim not to be, but it's obvious that most don't really mean it. The "Patriot" Act is a horrifying case in...

Quote: All those things you listed are concerns as well; this thread is simply dealing specifically with the bulbs. As for the USSR, it was NOT a loose confederation of states, it was a centralized empire, plain and simple. That's a little like saying 18th-century England was a "loose...

Quote: Trust me, for the Constitution, my number one source of information is primary sources. Everything else is auxiliary. Of course there was wheeling and dealing; the Constitution that was arrived at, though, was agreed to be a strict, limiting document. Personally, I - along with...

Quote: In the Federalist Papers as well as the opinions of the VAST majority of the Founders, the almost unanimous agreement is that the Constitution strictly limits the powers of Congress to those enumerated in Article One, Section 8. Anything not delegated is reserved to the States, and...

Quote: Uh, no. They get it better than you do, actually. The government works for the people, or at least, that's the way it was supposed to be. If you have the cash for it, you should be able to buy it. The government has no Constitutional right to do this, so their actions are ILLEGAL...

Quote: I understand. You don't get it. I'll drop it. Uh, no. They get it better than you do, actually. The government works for the people, or at least, that's the way it was supposed to be. If you have the cash for it, you should be able to buy it. The government has no Constitutional...

Quote: If people won't do it on their own, the nanny state has no right to force them to do so. It's the classic "Government knows best" mentality. Of course, we all know that only silly people don't realize that they don't know how to run their own lives. As for "rolling brown outs," it's...
