During WWII the dems and reps put their issues aside for the war- not that their wasnt internal bickering about one issue or another but neither party sought to undermine the other just for the sake of winning an election. Today that country first attitude is all but gone. FDR could run the war more effectively because he didnt have to deal with an opposition party running around the world talking smack about him or American policy. How I long for the good old days where Americans were Americans first and foremost.

Look at the American Civil War. There was only a marginal consensus supporting Lincoln and many would have sought for terms with the South.

Back in WWII we would have shot most of the treasonous ba$tards by now and been done with them. The rest of them would have been in uniform and a little too busy to whine about how their lives were so disrupted.

yes because in WWII we focused on who attacked us as opposed to attacking a third party, we would have stuck together if that had been the case here.

We had a lot of problems back then, but then came Pearl Harbor which unified our cause.
