It's sad that thinking back, over most of my life the U.S. has ALWAYS been at war with SOMEBODY. I've often wondered what our country would be like if we were ever NOT in a war. But of course, that'll never happen.

Gosh darn. I was waiting for them to hit us first. It's just not fair!, nam - Oldie

If we hadn't gone to war in World War II, the US would not exist - after Hitler had Europe, he would have come for us here - he had a lot of Jews in this country that needed exterminating. Now ISIS wants to exterminate everyone who isn't radical Muslim - now may not be a good time to sit back and watch....

Except they're not a powerful nation like Germany. - And theyve been trying to - sm

exterminate all non-Muslims for how many years now? 2000+ ?

Wait, what? - sm

The small problem with your statement there is that you assume that without the US, Hitler would have conquered Europe. Before the US formally entered the war, Hitler had lost the Battle of Britain and abandoned taking Britain and focused on invading the Soviet Union. He was beaten by the Soviets at Stalingrad. Of course, we'll never know, but the vast majority of historians believe that the UK, USSR, and allies would have won WWII without involvement of the US and that Hitler's biggest blunder was declaring war on the US. He did this, of course, because he enlisted Japan to keep us busy fighting them while he invaded the Soviet Union.

The bigger problem with your assumption is that had Hitler actually managed to take Europe, which he was not exactly having complete success in doing so, that he would have then attacked the US and won. LOL.

Believe me when I tell you that this scenario would have NEVER happened. Seriously, had Hitler ever tried to attack the US directly with an air assault (his attempts with submarines failed), he would have NEVER succeeded. It would have been just as easy to drop a few nuclear bombs on let's say Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich, as it was to drop them on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (thank you Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer). There is no scenario whatsoever whereby Hitler would have defeated and caused the nonexistence of the United States.

Now, when you consider that Germany had an estimated 16,000,000 to 18,000,000 troops, what do you figure the chance ISIS has to defeat the US with estimated less than 50,000? NONE! Trust me on this. The US won't be laying down our weapons and running like the Iraqis did. Just FYI.

This is actually more of the activity of the New Apostolic Reformation. Their infiltration of American politics is now not only through the GOP.

Note that this candidate is a pastor of the fundamentalist Assemblies of God, whose members believe the Bible is the literal word of God and practice speaking in tongues. For a man with hi ...
