I think that WW 2 was the essence of liberalism, i.e. opposing fascism, etc.You must be thinking radical, right wing elements like Henry Ford, etc. and others that came thisclose to submission. Do you ever wonder why they called it the "good war"? The only one worthy of fighting in recent memory. The rest were non threatening provocations that merely enabled our over grown military industrial complex to waste our blood and treasure for a lost cause! I am an enemy of war as the final solution to anything meaningful but I'm not averse to fighting against a tyrant of real and substantial dimension.
