After Pearl Harbor and 9/11, Americans came together. Have we lost that capacity?

don't think so bucky

There is some questions about exactly how everything worked, but it appears that humans migrated out of Africa about 60,000 years ago, and everyone outside of Sub Sahara Africa left in one group. There was a lot of movement between the Middle East and Europe. That makes Europeans more closely related to Arabs than either group is to Sub Saharan Africans.

Nope 6000 years ago God said let there be light, and then let there be water, then he shoved some of the water up and it was sky.
Then he pushed some water aside so the land would show, then he blinked in plants like a Genie, but only on the land,
then he puts lights in the sky, then he crafted two big lights and put them on the sky water dome, then he made animals
from water (but not too many, they will need to fit on an old boat) but fashioned birds some other way and let them fly across the water dome.
Then he changed his mind and made a whole bunch more animals including sea monsters. Then he made humans in "our" image
and appointed them rulers of the other things to subdue them and eat them if they wanted and gave carte blanche to destroy
the environment. But the other animals were supposed to just eat veggies.

He did that in 6 days. Which is itself amazing because he did some of it before there were days.

How do I sign up for your religion or civic association?

We are talking about the communists in the USA. They were if anything more invested in fighting the Nazis than the average American. Many had fought the Nazis in Spain, before WWII.

No, YOU are talking about the communists in the USA. YOU are making up stories about what they are 'invested in'.
Sorry dude, theft of wealth is theft of wealth. That what socialism in any form is, whether it's slavery, fascism, or communism. It is what Democrats want. Socialism brings misery.

The thread is about Americans coming together. Gardner claimed that the "radical left" in the USA refused to support the WWII war effort. I pointed out that the far left at the time still respected the USSR, and so was strong supporters of the WWII war effort, as it helped the USSR. You said that was a lie.

I am getting tired of constantly having to explain things to you over and over again.

Is there a chance you might just be too stupid to comprehend?

Let's get real, folks....America is a nice concept, but the reality is that there has ALWAYS been deep divides among the citizenry. It's just the way the country came about. Think about it:

- settled initially by people seeking relief from religious persecution.
- partial genocide, then subjugation and segregation of the native population.
- institutionalized slavery/2nd class citizenry for black folk from the 1700's to 1968.
- institutionalized racism against Chinese Americans throughout the 19th and (early -mid) 20th century
- institutionalized bias and bigotry against various ethnicities and racial groups (Irish, Italian, Polish, Mexican, Jewish, etc.)
- institutionalized economic & social bias against the "working class" & "poor".

I could go on, but you get the point. What we are witnessing now is the mask of "civility" coming off....pulled off by greed, arrogance and all the little niceties I just listed.

When 9/11 happened in NYC, you had throngs of people lining the road access to the disaster area cheering on the first responders ..... handing out food, water...offering their homes for rests. Months after, local precincts and fire houses were inundated with tokens of appreciation like home made plaques of thanks, wreaths of flowers, etc. But the words of one seasoned cop stuck in my mind, "Let's see how long this lasts."

And, here we are.

Gardner is correct. The radical left in the US did refuse to support the War. Some of them fought in it because they were drafted.
Your bigotry concerning the USSR is already noted.

In your case, Milquetoast, that won't help either.
