    we wouldn't have had 50 years of cold war with russia
    The eastern world, it is exploding, violence flaring bullets loading. you are old enough to kill , but not for voting, this whole crazy world is just to frustrating, and you tell me over and over and over again my friend, you don't believe we are on the EVE of DESTRUCTION.


    Never approach a bull from the front, A horse from behind, or a fool from any direction.

    Right - that can arguably be the tipping point that thrust Russia into becoming a global power.

    Hummm. I think it would have just bought the Germans more time before the inevitable fall.

    What if George Washington had accepted a monarchy instead of a presidency?
    Democrats believe that "politics is war by other means." And they are at war with America, with common sense and even common decency. Those who would mount an effective opposition had better have a high tolerance for slime, slander and abuse.

    Then we would have had a lower-class serfdom governed by a wealthy, protected, privileged upper-class amassing the majority of wealth and power.

    ... wait, that's what we have now.

    King George anticipated that very thing.

    Give the last word to Washington’s great adversary, King George III. The king asked his American painter, Benjamin West, what Washington would do after winning independence. West replied, “They say he will return to his farm.”

    “If he does that,” the incredulous monarch said, “he will be the greatest man in the world.”
