    Even after Pearl Harbor, the Left and radical Left were hardly united in their views with the rest of the nation... The radical Left continued to vigorously oppose the draft. Many of the more hardcore unions refused to not call strikes. John Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers was dubbed "Public enemy number one," for his regularly calling strikes particularly on coal mining. It got bad enough that FDR eventually nationalized the coal mines and brought the army in to enforce production, the need for coal being a national security issue.

    I'm all for the Christian Republic of America. Massachusetts, New York, and California won't be part of it.
    We'll just have a much better country without the dead weight.

    those are massive issues that effect virtually everyone. They are a lot of things; trivial they aint!

    No one gives a shit about about critical race theory. Silly and trivial.

    Im starting to agree, and I am a huge fan of E Pluribus Unum.
    That's diversity ("out of many one") before diversity became the 21st century buzzword

    Do you want the coasts? but not the Carolinas and Florida .
    Virginia and all north and across Illinois and Minnesota are all yours
