I do. Along with all the other the casualties in the Pacific Theater during WWII, interment camps, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Korean Conflict, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, and the Cold War. All were ultimately the result of FDR's refusal to meet with Prime Minister Konoye in 1941 to negotiate the release of frozen Japanese assets and the lifting of the oil embargo.

That's the weakest, most ignorant attempt at deflection that I've seen in a long time.
A different kind of Southern Strategy. That's all.

Really? Look at what she and the Democrats are doing. Helping the population? Look. Observe the strategy.

You're really grasping at straws to save some face if you're pursuing the Pee-Wee Herman "I know you are but what am I" retort.

Thanks for playing.

Really? There is $trillions at stake and the most despicable ones are fighting for their piece of it. Congratulations to Clinton supporters for getting her nominated.

Bitter? No, I would say disgusted with the corrupt electorate that continues to destroy people's lives for their own benefit by electing corrupt politicians. Anything new? No. But despicable all the same.
