Democrats turned away real refugees, thanks FDR (who also interred Japanese American citizens in domestic prisoner of war camps.

Oh come on, 92% of the reporting on the Trump era is mainstream media trying to play gotcha on Trump.

What are they teaching you kids in 1st grade?

Your ABC's!

Wow, when I was in 1st grade decades ago they taught us reading, math, history, art, penmanship, music, PE, how to duck and cover under our desks in case the Russians wanted to take out our local Minuteman missile silos, government and how to raise, lower and fold a flag, say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the National Anthem, the real story of the Pilgrims and the Mayflower Compact and all the immigrants who came through Ellis Island, and then we had lunch. Trust me, you don't know what you're missing, and I doubt you have the curiosity and stamina to find out. Peace.

Too bad they didn't teach you about nuances, irony, sarcasm, humor!

It was the 60's dunce and that's what we learned after lunch. In second grade we got into Jonathon Swift and Voltaire. In the 40's they used black out curtains for bomb raids- the atom bomb wasn't in use yet

Whoops, you missed the memo that humor has to be in the "fun" section- go check there, this is serious politics.

The thing is Democrat’s have already learned from past mistakes. Trump and the republicans flat out refuse to.

I'll take Trumps failed economics that have resulted in the lowest black unemployment in history, ditto Hispanic, women and Asians, and I'll take his magic wand that has brought manufacturing and mining jobs back. As for Obama's brilliance, seems stupid Republicans can grow an economy at more than 2% annually, kind of nice since it takes 3% growth to keep up with population growth, and who can forget Obama's famous shovel ready jobs, now that's leadership into the 21st century. Got your Apple shovel yet? Everyone is lining up to get one.

Two famous sayings "Those who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it" and "An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind" have been forgotten by the left.

Show me the part of the plaque on “Stonewall” Jackson’s monument that said “ This guy was a horrible bastard who supported slavery, the preservation of this monument is purely for historical significance only.”

Just add a thing saying “ This guy was a horrible bastard who supported slavery, the preservation of this monument is purely for historical significance only.” And keep the statue up.

If you only tell one side of the story it's like the way Warner Brothers edited out violence in the Roadrunner- no one gets it.

If you want to learn about "both sides" that's what museums and history textbooks are for.

BUT when the museums are torn down and the history textbooks are rewritten you have 2018 USA. Has happened in history many times before and never ended well. When we used to be offended we turned off the TV, now everyone pukes out their pain on social media and tears down statues. I'd say to them, get a life, but they'd want to abort it.

Who's tearing down museums? Which museums have been torn down? I also find it funny that you bring up rewriting textbooks when that is exactly what southern states seem to be doing with regards to downplaying the effects of slavery.

The Kristallnacht 6 months before would not have went unnoticed.

Yes he did, and he didn't care. We ought to build a memorial to him in DC, oh wait they did.

even if he knew he wouldn't have cared less.
FDR was a genteel anti-Semite.

To compare old school leftist like FDR and Truman to modern ones is like comparing a stick to a tree. Also wouldn't it be inconvenient to you if a Democrat agreed with trump?

The main difference between Democrats and Republicans is their belief of the job of government.

No just fed up with democrats blaming Trump for atrocities every time you turn around, Trump is ripping babies out of "immigrant mothers" arms and throwing them in cages (whoops the media had to use Obama era pictures for that one), Trump's a racist bigot homophobe misogynist, idiot, gonna kill the planet, gonna give tax breaks to the wealthiest, he's intolerant he's an idiot, he's Hitler. Democrats have been throwing that line of slurs at Republicans so long we're inoculated now But that's what happens to a party running on fear, anger, hatred and no policy ideas that benefit anyone but themselves. Taa Daa!
