More signs that we are losing our values, our culture, and the very foundations of this country. We stand for freedom, built on a constitution that nicely lays out the very structure that can allow us to keep that freedom, that has allowed us now for centuries to fight the very forces that try to take that freedom from millions.

So what do we do these days? We build statues of the very enemies that we fought so hard against...we put a bust of Stalin in VA at a WWII memorial:



On top of that, our publishers that sell copies of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence on Amazon are putting disclaimers in the book, suggesting they don't necessarily believe the Constitution is relevant to today!!!



And people are concerned about TX history books having a conservative spin?
 
Well Stalin did help us win WWII...

As for the disclaimer, that seems very strange.
 
Is this a situation where "our enemies' enemies are our friends"? I'd hardly say that we should give Stalin any kind of positive attention. Just because he hated Hitler as much as we did doesn't mean we should be grateful to him. He was a tyrant as well.
 
Um, centuries of fighting to free millions? You sure this isn't some post-WWII re imagining of the United States? The kind that got thousands more US citizens killed, justified our turn at imperialism, and marks the departure from the true American spirit? You know, the one that WWII war industrialism warped, and that idiots perpetuate with nonsense like the above statement, that has more in common with the G.I. Joe theme song than reality?
 
So you are okay with us putting up memorials for foreign dictators and putting disclaimers on the constitution telling people that these views are out of date? I'm pretty sure that wasn't the "true American spirit" before WWII.
 
No. God yes.

I'm pretty sure there is something called a 'true American spirit' in this context, and it certainly isn't (but more importantly was not) 'let's go save the world'.
 
No the "true American spirit" was busy black listing conciencous objectors before WWII, and interring japanese citizens, denying women and African American rights, and... well you get the point.

I mean YEAH FREEDUMB!!!1
 
"Stalin is my brother" - FDR





Stalin was a freedom fighter, just like FDR and Churchill
 
Oct 7, 1942 FDR wrote Churchill: "I think there is nothing more important than that Stalin feel that we mean to support him without qualification and at great sacrifice."
 
"It was an experience of great interest to me to meet Premier Stalin ... It is very fortunate for Russia in her agony to have this great rugged war chief at her head. He is a man of massive outstanding personality, suited to the sombre and stormy times in which his life has been cast; a man of inexhaustible courage and will-power and a man direct and even blunt in speech, which, having been brought up in the House of Commons, I do not mind at all, especially when I have something to say of my own. Above all, he is a man with that saving sense of humour which is of high importance to all men and all nations, but particularly to great men and great nations. Stalin also left upon me the impression of a deep, cool wisdom and a complete absence of illusions of any kind. I believe I made him feel that we were good and faithful comrades in this war – but that, after all, is a matter which deeds not words will prove." - Churchill





FDR and Churchill liked Stalin, he must be ok!
 
First you defend Hitler, then you defend Stalin.

FDR and Churchill needed him to help them defeat Hitler. Other than that, I assure you, they would not have been allies.
 
Yes, according to you, Hitler wasn't doing anything wrong until England declared war on them.
 
Per usual the American people are mad for the wrong reason. Fuck Stalin killing millions...that's not important.....however did you know he's a communist!?!?!! We are not communists!!!
 
I never stated that.



Hitler was a tyrant. Stalin was a tyrant. And so were FDR and Churchill. Get your head out of Sean Hannity's ass.

America's government and military stopped giving a shit about liberty about 200 years ago.
 
I think the argument could be made that the founding father's never wanted all that much liberty to begin with; they just wanted security for their own interests, getting out of the English war tax didn't seem like a bad deal either.
