Lindbergh was <em>also</em> much afeared that the Joos were plotting to destroy Amurkka from within, which is to say regardless of whether he thought we could be the Nazis, per-Pearl Harbor it&#039;s very questionable that he wanted that outcome.
Say, you know who else is afeared adherents of a non-Christian Abrahamic religion are plotting to destroy Amurkka from within?
It&#039;s quite plausible that going to war in September 1938 would have been disastrous for the Allies - WW1 was a truly fucking ghastly war and it left a lasting disgust that manifested in a distaste for maintaining a large military that was only dispelled when the threat that Hitler posed became impossible to deny. The Germans had a huge head start in militarizing, and even after a year of furiously manufacturing arms, things did not go so well for the Brits when war was joined in September 1939- their biggest &quot;victory&quot; before the Battle of Britain was successfully retreating from Dunkirk.
<i>you know the Republicans had this debate back in the 1930s when you had the isolationists and the Charles Lindberghs saying we should appease Hitler</i>
That was absolutely a thing. I just finished reading a biography of Alice Roosevelt Longworth (someone left it in the bathroom) and she was one of those isolationist Republicans. Mostly because she disliked FDR, but her ideology became uber-rightwing.
Fun Fact: History tries to paint &quot;Princess Alice&quot; as a fun old Washington grand dame with a sharp wit, but she was really a combo of Paris Hilton in her youth turning into Ann Coulter as she aged. Not a nice person at all.
Idi Amin&#039;s delusions were not restricted to grandeur.
The deficit is only significant when Dems are in power.
One army division by land, two aircraft carrier task forces by sea.
Ian Paisley?
&quot;...so while King gets some points for showing his work, he still pretty much fails the exam.&quot;
So King used the right equation, but still came up with the wrong answer? Hmmm, that reminds me ...
(Wait, why is everything getting all wiggly all of a sudden? Oh, right ... it&#039;s a flashback to me in high school math class. )
Carlos Danger? (As should we all, by staying the hell off twitter.)
When did they fall out?

I&rsquo;m almost feeling sorry for Hitler these days. Almost.
