Well.....perhaps.....given that luntatics like Gosnell cut the feet off those "dots" and preserve them in jars. Ponce. - Snark

And your evidence for your assertion that the Japanese "WERE" about to surrender? DId it come straight from an unimpeachable source - say, Keith Olbermann, or Chrissy Matthews? Go ahead, cite a credible source.

Pearl Harbor WAS the starting point of the over war for America - which is the clear context in which this comment was made - as the discussion was about AMERICAN history. Nice try, though. - Snark

Jack- Thanks for your libbie prattle about how the Japanese were in the process of surrendering. Actual historical accounts do not support this. Odd, too, that that process, already underway, per your libbie fantasy, failed to produce a surrender even after the "unnecessary atrocity" of Hiroshima. Libbies - confused, but certain in their smug ignorance..... - Snark

GREAT POINT, Donald! No doubt, the Japanese mainland could have been assaulted, and overrun, with fewer than 500 American casualties. Good God, man, get a grip on yourself - the ignorance in your post is beyond startling - it's SHOCKING! Frankly, I'm doubtful that one capable of such ignorance is capable of operating a keyboard....are you using some form of voice recognition software? - Snark

"Bataan is relatively unimportant" Well, that's true if one is so profoundly ignorant as to recognize that atrocity as the result of Japan's Bushido Code. If one is so ignorant as to miss the way it demonstrates Japan's perspective that prisoners were sub-human, having submitted to the unthinkable shame of surrendering, rather than committing suicide. If one is so historically confused as to miss the connection between the Japanese belief that they were a superior race and their treatment of the Chinese, Koreans, Philipinos, in addition to all POWs. Yep, Bataan was "relatively unimportant" - to the historically ignorant, like you, Jack. - Snark

Yep, debatable to libbies who prattle from the comfort of a perspective of nearly 70 years later. The Japanese, although beaten, were not about to surrender. Were they, why did they continue to show defiance after the first atomic bombing? They did, you know - that's a historical fact, which is "good to learn." BTW - the libbie bleating about the atomic bombing, in addition to being sadly misguided, is made absurd by the FAR MORE DEVASTATING conventional bombing that took place over the YEARS preceding the atomic bombings. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed in firebombing. Was that bombing campaign also "debatable" - from the comfort of your couch, that is..... - Snark

...American blacks are SYMPTOMS, not CAUSES. Sad to be a libbie, responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of unborn children, and for the destruction of tens of millions of lives through advocacy of policies that lead to children having children, and to children trapped in utterly failed, union-dominated, gov't-run inner city schools.... Sad. Have libbies no shame? - Snark

WJF- I am in NO WAY a fan of Obozo, his ilk, or Planned Parenthood, or abortion. I disagree with Obozo on essentially every single issue. I cannot agree, however, with your assertion that "....abortion has decimated the black family." No, "credit" for that horriffic act - which has clearly taken place - ~70% of black babies are born out of wedlock - imagine what the figure would be if blacks didn't abort at such a HUGELY disproportionate rate - goes to other libbie policies. Welfare, for example, REWARDS those who have children out of wedlock, and those men who reject responsibility for their offspring. THAT policy, and others like it, have decimated the black family The huge rate of illegitimacy, and of abortion, among....

Jeff- Don't forget the convenient, and oft-cited, excuse of "Republican Obstructionism," as well. That one seems to be a particular favorite of the Obozo Administration.

So Obozo was disingenuous in his reply regarding the Gosnell case? Well, I'll be.....who could have possibly predicted such a thing? - Snark
