Joe was 75 years ago and there are earlier examples that make your statement...questionable / oblivious / asleep / naive /ect.
And about that reading comprehension : "You must be over a Hundred , congratulations."
I'm 73 years old. My father was in the Navy during World War II. He was personally aware from fleet operations that FDR was engaging in war against Germany since October of 1941 (antisubmarine warfare). I basically was reading his publications from the John Birch Society, which was a pathbreaker for a Great Awakening. If you don't know that, your education is lacking.
The ethos in America as I was growing up was "we", not "them and us." Democrats were not demons. Governor Dixy Lee Ray in Washington was a foretaste of the Trump approach.
My reading comprehension is just fine. I learned to read before attending 1st grade. I don't quite know what insult you are insinuating. Reading comprehension in this country has gone downhill since I attended school.
Indeed , by design. But the infiltration had begun many decades prior to your fathers service.
(as an aside. I had extensive conversations with the Master Chief on a Heavy Cruiser stationed at Pearl in 1940 onward. "Often his Fleet Admirals Flag ship" . 3 days before Dec 7 they put to sea. He had not made any preparations and when he asked was told Destroyer integration practice and he would be told more when necessary. Sailed out 2 days then turned back and took up a moving holding pattern half a day sail back to port. " They Didn't want any landing to happening on the Islands")
According to my father, it was scuttlebutt that FDR was goading the Japanese by sanctions into making the first overt move, to justify getting into a war. His primary objective was to join with Great Britain against Germany. They had expected such an attack against the Philippines (which indeed happened), but not against Hawaii. It was either providential or planned that the aircraft carriers had been sent out of port. I've read General MacArthur's memoirs; he does not mention being specifically warned of an impending attack. The commanders in Hawaii (Adm. Kimmell and Gen. Short) were blindsided, castigated, court-marshaled, but finally vindicated and cleared.
Very similar to Woodrow Wilson's connivance to get us into World War I.
The scholastic infiltration had begun, but had not blossomed. I've seen several of my father's schoolbooks. They were what now would be considered college level. There is a whole other story about the downgrading of secondary education resulting from the popularization of attending college.
Yep , as I said the rot is old and deep. And those that wrote the constitution ,like jesus knew it would come to this.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness, which are in the high places. ---Ephesians 6:12 -- 1599 Geneva
