Who is worse, Bergdahl or Trump, the deserter or the war dodger?

What you likely would have said based on your posts during the Charlottesville incident would clearly not be a correct assumption.

Can you point to my posts about Charlottesville which led you to believe that?

Was it the one where I stated it is clear that James Alex Fields deliberately drove his car into the crowd of Antifa supporters? Or one of my other posts?

I was given that impression from our sparring over the concept of "good guys" at the protest.

Neither side of the Charlottesville protest had "good guys". I strongly called out the alt-right extremists and also called out the Antifa clowns for their violence. From my perspective the police should go lock up both groups.

Go back and read the history of F.D.R.'s fireside chats -- he used many of them to bully political opponents, re-direct on issues, and undermine businesses owned by opponents. Very much how Trump uses twitter now. Same behavior, different medium.

Of course, F.D.R always ranks in the top 4 most narcissistic presidents. It will be interesting to see if Trump ranks above him eventually.

F.D.R was on sports teams to display the flag, not anything about the national anthem or hand over heart. He pushed very hard for people to celebrate Flag Day and respect our flag.

Eventually? Oh I think he probably ace that list. He just declared the reporting on what came out of his mouth about previous presidents not bothering to call dead soldiers families as "Fake News".

It is somewhat apples and oranges 80+ years back when Dems and Cons were very different, far far closer than today.

But yes, his radio chats were powerful juju. War of the Worlds was broadcast in October 30, 1938, people tended to believe what they heard on the radio.
People forget that "flag worship" was even considered idolatry by some sects. People were deeper on average in those days.
