I bet, if this was 1939, you would be one of those people arguing to turn back the ship with Jewish refugees, just not to cash Germany in a bad light. After all, with their alliance with Italy and Japan, they are an important international player.

Roosevelt didn't try to argue Germans had nothing to do with the nazi regime.

But he cozied up to the "Evil Empire" to fight said ze Germans.  Lesser of evils, enemies of your enemies, etc.

QuoteReagan did call the Soviet Union the Evil Empire.

But he cozied up to the ISI and the soon to be Al-Qaedite Sunni fanatics in Afghanistan to fight said Evil Empire.  Lease of evil, enemies of your enemies, etc.

See the pattern?

The petulant child in the White house can't say Islamic terrorism.
The thin skinned community organizer refuse to recognize how evil islam is.

I do not think those words mean what you think they mean.
Ok, i confess. I don't know what it means.
But it definitely sounds like an original diss of pResident Barack Hussein.

So you want us to be at war with a billion people?  What the fuck good does that do?

The Warsaw liberal intelligentsia (all 3 of them) is ready and willing to fight to the last American.

It does not sound original at all.

You're supposed to use "petulant child" when discussing how Obama refuses to compromise with Republicans in Congress. 

I can't remember the official term for this particular situation, but going with some form of "wimp" or "coward" should work.

No...but Roosevelt was very careful not to condemn Hitler. He got roasted every-time he even slightly said something mean by his domestic opponents. He was careful because throwing a tantrum was not the right play even if it would have made him feel better.

As for taking refugees that had nothing to do with wanting to not insult Germany.
