you think that someone attacking unions is attacking working people? You do realize that public union workers' wages are paid from the taxes of working people, right? You know, normal workers, who if they completely fail at their job, like the public schools have, normally get fired for incompetence.
Our isolation is the reason any country has really yet to invade us by land.
our isolation helps keep us safe and should allow us to cut our military spending in half. however, nobody bribes politicians to cut spending so we have a trillion dollar military that we don't need. they are so desperate to justify it and spend more that they pretend isis is a legitimate threat.
Delaware and Texas have no state taxes. How are they not sharing #1 in fiscal policy? Alaska pays you to live there and it's ranked 10th? I suspect something is off...
Japan's master plan was to create The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, which essentially meant that they wanted to expand their empire so that it included Korea, Mongolia, China, Indochina (now Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia), The Philippines, and Indonesia.
Their not-so-large army was extended to its maximum by occupying those lands, and could hardly have managed a cross-Pacific invasion and conquest of a nation that is absolutely huge in comparison to their own country. Once you have conquered a region or a nation, you also need to occupy it, and the Japanese were smart enough to know that their army was nowhere near large enough to occupy The US, in addition to the aforementioned Asian nations.
The Japanese plan would never worked in the long run. They have a tiny army compared to the population size they are trying to seize control. The Japanese also forbids interbreeding with the other ethnics they conquer. How can they maintain control of a large region without interbreeding? Eventually they will lose control when the other ethnics organizes themselves and the Japanese runs out of native troops.

Very true...which helps to support my statement about the futility of the Japanese even attempting to invade and--more importantly--control the vast expanse of The US. The hierarchy of the Imperial Japanese army was astute enough to realize that they couldn't possibly conquer and control such a vast and distant country as The US. In addition to not having a large enough army, the supply lines that would have been necessary to support their troops would have been just...impossibly long...for them.
The person who claimed that the only reason for the Japanese not invading the US is that we have citizens who are armed is just not operating in a sphere of reality. However those with a specific agenda--like him--usually ignore realities other than the ones that they have concocted in their own head.
The Philippines were a US territory in those days, and in order to occupy The Philippines as a part of their plan for The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, they had to try to neutralize US naval forces in The Pacific. Within a very short period of time, they realized that they had "awakened a sleeping giant", and the rest is history.
