    Oh, it wasn’t because of the fanatical dedication of the Japanese armed forces that were so dug in it would have taken years and cost thousands of American lives to defeat them, island by island? It was because they didn’t want the Russians to hog all the glory? Never heard that one before

    Of course it is, even when the Democratic party has control of the Executive and House they talk about why they can’t do anything, then the Republicans take control and ram through a bunch of shit and the Democratic party points and clucks their tongues at them. It’s been that way since roughly Reagan.


  • I’ve always preferred for people like this to self-identify so we know who they are. Creating a silence where hatred lives has never struck me as a good approach, but I get the argument that allowing hate speech unchecked can cause people to be swayed. On the other hand, it’s always terrific to see people running for office or otherwise aspiring to positions of power being thwarted by the classic surfacing of a picture of them showing their true colors…
