Do you really think Hitler could have conquered the United States? How? There is a good chance Hitler would still have been defeated at Stalingrad and Kursk without America entering the war.
Hindsight is 20:20. Besides, even if the Allies won, what could America say about its role in letting this happen?

Well, actually, it the 14th Amendment destroyed the sovereignty of the states by giving the federal government power to regulate all aspects of a state's society that had the slightest connection to minority rights.
Quote:
nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
This gives the Federal government power to ensure that states follow due process of law. This could be seen as federal interference of states' rights. It was used to support Roe v. Wade, among many other cases. But knowing all that I know, my opinion is that this amendment is a very beneficial one. States don't have the right to ignore laws, federal or state, when they become inconvienent.

one thing im am little confussed about is how the democrats what to fix the economy. so taxing the guy that makes a little more than minimum wage so he makes the same if not less that the minimum wager will help people? giving the guy a hard time to pay bills\, like rent is helpful. they guy will be evicted, the landlord wont fill his spot, he will raise rent and it will keep repeating.
Please shut up. You're not even making sense here. You're just imagining the worst case scenario based on your perception of the Democratic attack on the working class

republican style, bost companies, hopefull give more jobs or raises(then they will blow more money, hopefull american.). it might not do wonders, but its a start. we have money to blow on other countries, we should have tons to invest in our companies.
Countries are more important than companies.

I cannot see how this amendment provides an unlimited right for anyone to carry any sort of weapon whenever and wherever they want. It seems pretty clear to me that the intention of this amendment was to provide an armed militia (National Guard) to defend the country from foreign attack. It provides no constitutional basis for concealed-carry laws, which allow people to carry concealed guns into schools, malls, stadiums, etc.
It doesn't give us the right. But just because the second amendment doesn't give us this right, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Congress (or any state) may make laws which allow any kind of weaponry.

And the fact they can be so partisan during a time in which our troops are on foreign soil makes me sick
Everyone supports the troops. Why should it matter if politicans argue about tax cuts and judicial nominations? Politicians are supposed to do that stuff.

I agree with that, but I'm a recovering Democrat. My name is Will, and I'm a Republican. Reasons why I switched? Read on:
Excuse my editorial laugh... hehehe...
Why were you a Democrat in the first place?

im still waiting for OSR to tell me why we "must" grow tabacco when no one here does....
My best guess is for crop rotation reasons... the soil needs to be replenished.
