FDR Declares War on December 8th, 1941

This was the day after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor… December 8th, 1941. And of course, this was before Fox had been created to fill the airwaves with humans like Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Donald Trump.

I would submit except for a brief period at the conclusion of Desert Storm and the 9/11 terrorist attacks…FDR’s declaration of war was the last time our nation was genuinely unified and aspirational as far as America’s place in the world.

I would think the reports coming out of Ukraine the next several days will be very difficult for us to view as Americans.

I was shocked by the results of the results of the Smerconish Question of the Week Poll Question on Saturday morning. The question was: Should the United States and NATO declare war on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine?

With over 40,000 votes cast when the show went off the air, which is record number of votes for any question, the results were Yes…77%, No…23%. Keep in mind a lot of the viewers on this show are either Independents or moderates like myself. This isn’t a show for the nutjobs on either side of American politics.

I voted no.

I’ll explain why I voted no tomorrow morning.
