"Evil exists" yet again. Are we already at the moralizing point? Democrats for the most part haven't met a war that they're against, except for revisionist drivel way after the fact. We can go way back to Woodrow Wilson if you want the penultimate war-monger. This isn't to say the GOP is any less interventionist since the Neo-Cons jumped into the party in the 60s. Traditionally, the GOP was the anti-war party, but of course, back in those days they were just Nazi sympathizers or German loyalists or w/e epithet was levied to paint them anti-patriotic. (They were against WWI and WWII, Nixon ended Vietnam, etc.) Of course, I'm a bit biased as I miss the old libertarian right GOP from 1900 to 1950ish, but whatever. This myth of the soft Democrats plays only to each's base for propaganda purposes. | ||

I mean of course he is not going to listen to a 3 hours publicity conference about him in its entirety. This is Trump we're talking about. He'll probably get the podcast of this RNC and masturbate to it. | ||

This myth of the soft Democrats plays only to each's base for propaganda purposes. I won't deny Democrats have been part of the war machine many times in the past, and have definitely contributed. I just don't appreciate them pretending like they have no hand on the War on Terror and shouldering the blame on Obama and Hillary. | ||
