While in Solemn Remembrance of Pearl Harbor...

If we could transport modern day MSMers, Lib/Leftist pundits, and Demoron politicians (Democrat + moron = Demoron) back to the first few months after Pearl Harbor, what might they have been saying? Perhaps it might have been something like this...

Howard Dean would have said it would take 5 years to rebuild our navy before we could confront Japan, so we better pull back our forces from Hawaii to the mainland.

John Kerry would have said that Japan was not responsible for the Bataan Death March. If we had not been occupying the Philippines, there would have been no need for the Death March.

Nancy Pelosi would have worried about the civilians killed during the Jimmy Doolittle air raid on Tokyo.

Ted Kennedy would have said that President Roosevelt knew about the threat, but he ignored it so his defense contractor buddies would make money off the war.

Michael Moore would have made a movie that would have told us why our aircraft carriers were not at Pearl Harbor. They were busy launching the airplanes, painted like Japanese fighters and bombers, that attacked Pearl Harbor.

Al Gore would have gone into his "black preacher" persona and hollered that Germany did not attack us at Pearl Harbor, rather, President Roosevelt attacked Germany to distract from the failures in the Pacific war theatre.

Jimmy Carter would have explained that Mr. Hitler was simply trying to unify Europe under a single flag and that we should have signed a peace treaty instead of invading Normandy.

Jesse Jackson would have said that we attacked German forces in Africa because we wanted the natural resources of Africa and that we just wanted the Germans out of there so we could have all of the gold, diamonds,...

Ward Churchill would have said that we should not help the British, because the British were responsible for most of the 17th and 18th century immigrants that stole the land from the Indians.

Louis Farrakan would have blamed the Jews for provoking Germany into attacking France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Britain,...

One of my uncles got polio while in Northern Africa during WWII. Dennis Kucinich would have blamed that on an American germ-warfare experiment gone awry.

Another uncle was seriously injured while in Army training. When he jumped into a trench with a BAR on his back, the 15.5 lb. rifle cracked him in the back of the skull sufficiently to where he received a medical discharge. Of course that was President Roosevelt's fault for making our soldiers carry such heavy weapons.

While we were fighting the Battle of Midway, Senate hearings on the Pearl Harbor attack would have demanded the presence of Admiral Nimitz and Rear Admirals Spruance and Fletcher, to explain the lack of preparation at Pearl Harbor.

Barbara Boxer would have been demanding a Senate investigation as to why the Doolittle bombers ran out of fuel and had to crash-land after bombing Tokyo.

Editorial cartoonists would regularly have made fun of President Roosevelt being in a wheelchair, by telling him to "stand tall against the enemy".

Pat Buchanan would have been hollering that we shouldn't be helping the Soviets because they were Communists.

Well, by now you get the picture. The Axis powers could not have been defeated without the United States, despite the brave efforts of the British, Australians, free French, Canadians, Soviets,... The United States could not have sustained the effort with the amount on infighting that is going on now on the homefront in the War on Terror.

The War on Terror is just as serious as WWII, though it is vastly different. Failure was not an option in WWII nor it is now.
