Hasn't gotten us too far, has it? Of course, the Left, along with just about everyone in P&N, HATES the fact that the US is the lone Super Power...and they will do anything, with the help of the UN, to bring this country DOWN!

No, U.S's war crazy right wings are the one that's bringing U.S down. U.S is profiting now due the war it created, but in the long term U.S will loose big time.
Sure, U.S is the super power now but that doesn't mean U.S has every right to run the world.

What is U.N? How and why was it created? What does it tell you when U.S ignores U.N? Think about it. Don't have such a narrow view. Learn some international politics and think about this issue.

Hopefully. Unless someone takes drastic measures to split the world apart (which would be a bad thing) or aliens attack us from space. Under normal conditions, people of every country should feel more and more comfortable with people from other countries. Global society (the internet / etc). Hope this made sense.

They think that because the tanks didn't get to shore and spearhead the attack, that is why Omaha had the highest casualty rate.

It was amazing. I had never heard of the floating Shermans.

I don't think I saw that specific show but yes, I have heard of them. Most of the tank drivers died IIRC.

More to the point, why inject rhetoric from 2 fake organizations into a thread concerning real heros?

Given the opportunity, I bet our generation would measure up just fine.

Pray that we never get that opportunity.

You are the most unpatriotic of all.

I, for one, honor the memory of every man and woman who served during World War II. People might disagree, but there's a reason that so many call them the "greatest generation."

Oh, I totally agree that those men and everyone of that era (Depression Survivors, WWII fighters, women in the war machine factories, etc.) were indeed the Greatest Generation.

What I am saying is that such a generation will NEVER again be possible in the US if Liberalism is able to succeed:

Liberalism is based on the lack of discipline and the absence of right vs. wrong.

Liberalism wants children raised by mediocre, government (public) schools in order to dumb-down society and keep power within a large, Federal government.

Liberalism says that it is "Unfair to the rest of the world if the United States is the lone Super Power, fighting for democracy". We need a UN to do that.

That is what I was trying to say.

Do you think the 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s were completely devoid of liberalism or something? Those decades were the HEIGHT of such thinking.

Roosevelt, Truman Eisenhower and Johnson were all proponents of liberalism.
