As I always point out, it's a basic principle of Generational Dynamics that even in a dictatorship, major policies and events are determined by masses of people, entire generations of people, and not by politicians. Thus, Hitler was not the cause of WW II. What politicians say or do is irrelevant, except insofar as their actions reflect the attitudes of the people that they represent, and so politicians can neither cause nor prevent the great events of history.

1) Most americans did not want to enter WWII. Of course after the Japanese dragged us screaming and yelling into it, we HAD to go.
2) Most Americans want background checks and training for all gun owners.
3) Most Americans would like to get the big bucks out of politics.
4) Most Americans did not want the government shut down when Cruz read Seuss on the floor.
The list goes on and on. I'm sure others can help us out here. Maybe you can help?? I don't think it's very smart for Breitbart to be taking Putin's side here. I mean is that the next thing for the Teapartiers -- to make excuses for the Putin? The guy who is grabbing off real estate that doesn't belong to him?
OK, OK I understand, we did it in Iraq. So maybe we don't have any room to talk. But aren't you ever going to forgive Bush? I'm trying to -- I hope you will too.
