Democrats - The party of war

Under President Woodrow Wilson, 116,516 soldiers died in World War I during 1917-18.

Under President Franklin Roosevelt, 405,399 died in WWII during 1941-45.

Under President Harry Truman, 54,246 died in Korea during 1950-53.

Under President John F. Kennedy, 191 died in Vietnam during 1961-63.

Under President Lyndon Johnson, 48,399 died in Vietnam during 1964-69.

Under President Richard Nixon, 21,194 American soldiers were killed in Vietnam during 1969-74.

Under President George H.W. Bush, 383 died in the Gulf War in 1991.

Under President George W. Bush, 4,371 died in Iraq during 2003-09, and 947 soldiers died during 2001-09 in Afghanistan.

Under President Barack Obama, 124 died in Iraq during 2001-09, and 1,749 soldiers died from 2009-16 in Afghanistan.

So, here are the totals:

626,761 soldiers killed under Democrat presidents.

26,895 soldiers killed under Republican presidents.

Of course, the number of casualties bears no relation to the number of wars and conflicts in our history. Further analysis might also include the backgrounds to each conflict involving the military. It might also include every action ever taken by the military for political (NOT to "protect our freedom") reasons. Also, Hawaii wasn't part of the USA in 1941 but was an American protectorate.

Male logic joke

*This is a story which is perfectly logical to all males:* A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6." A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?" He replied, "They had eggs."

Earth's wobble causes global warming

EARTH’S WOBBLE CAUSES GLOBAL WARNING, NOT CO2 EMISSIONS OR OCEAN CURRENTS, PER TEAM HEADED BY OSU RESEARCHER Digital Journal, “Debate Ends on Central Cause of Earth’s Cooling & Warming,” 8 Aug 2009; Space Daily, “Ice Ages Linked to Slight Shifts in Solar Radiation,” 24 Aug 2009; The Kiplinger Letter, “Climate Change Legislation, What it Means to Business,” 18 Aug 2009. As the carbon dioxide management bill - aka cap and trade - looms in Congress, a new study from Oregon State University emerges that ends the scientific debate on the central causes of ice ages and warming periods on Earth. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is fond of saying that the scientific debate on global warming is over - and while he may now be correct in the fact that a debate has come to an end, the central cause behind climate change does not support the carbon cap legislation that is being cobbled together by Mr. Gore and his Democratic allies in the U.S. Congress.
