Please take a look at my blog...wwiii1946.blogspot.com

A few other writers and I have teamed up to create an alternate history universe where others can join in. It's filled with the secret weapons that the German's and US almost brought to fruition in 1946-47. All those weird jets, a SAM system, the incredible spy network that the soviets had in both the US and UK, communists everywhere, massive Soviet tanks, evil scientists and of course Stalin haunt our pages.

We are starting the Battle of Britain Two soon.

Did you know that both the US and UK had switched from a war economy to 90% consumer products by Jan. 1946? How about the fact that a Soviet spy had physical control of the world’s supply of Polonium? The British were totally flat broke? Almost the entire US work force was on strike at one point in 1945-46? That the US debt was 125% of GDP in 1946? That the Soviets had in their possession 3 perfectly good B29s to study and take apart since 1944? That the US troops in Western Europe in the spring of 1946 were untrained, ill equipped, ill lead, rookies and glorified policemen? All true in our life time. I’ve put all this together and much more to create a world where Stalin goes for the brass ring and invades Western Europe in May 1946.

I'm not a writer, as you will soon discover, but I think I've found some very interesting twists and turns that will make for a great story. I also believe I have setup a very plausible alternative history. We are looking for other contributors.

I read one where A. Lincoln was a vampire hunter. I forget the name of the book now but it was pretty fun.

Here is another site that supports the one I am using:

Here also, is another site that supports the one you are using:

http://constitution.org/afp/afpchron.htm

The site I just listed, which aligns itself with your discussion of the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers, seems to be the more correct. Why do you think there exists this conflict? I am curious. Suspicious, too. Is this just an anomaly of interpretation, or is someone trying to re-write our history for us?

Grouchy,
The comments you attribute to, "Brutus," as being Anti-Federalist No. 12 are put forth on the site I am using, as Anti-Federalist No. 17. One of them is obviously wrong. We need to find out which one before proceeding any further.

Excellent analysis, Grouchy Historian. Could it be that, "Reaganomics," had it's beginning in the reading of Hamilton's words, in Federalist No. 12? Part of what Hamilton said, was what Conservatives are still saying today. Let the Federal Government get out of the way of Commerce. From Commerce and Commerce alone will you have the tax revenues necessary to run the affairs of Government.

Regarding the Anti-Federalist position, I am confused by your post. Your comments are about Brutus and the Judicial powers of Government. Anti-Federalist No. 12 was written by, "Cincinnatus," was it not? He talks about the raising of revenues and the difficulty encountered in doing that. Please explain what I missed.

Don't let GMU get you down. I would definitely look at other schools in VA that offer Ph.D's and see how they respond.

Get in touch with some well-known military historians and ask how they recommend you go about your search.

Good luck.

I also am a graduate of APU/AMU and so far have not run into anything this bad. Funny thing, the profs at AMU/APU are usually top notch in thier field and not just some schmuck that has spent their entire career in an academic setting.

So much to comment on. First, it just proves that Liberal Woman #1 could not justify her opinions if she was unwilling to have civil discourse. How is ignoring someone else's opinion a path to unity in this country. She must think that if she doesn't have to hear it from you, then an opposing opinion must not exist.
As for the article, I am not a racist, but I believe it is our Constitutional right, to think and say whatever we feel. No matter if it is rude or racist or insensitive. People need to grow a thicker skin! I think it is our responsibility to protect the racist as much as the peace lovers. Both have their right to their own opinion.
I don't agree with the spitting incident, but I like the idea of a new political party called the Tea Party. I like the idea of protesting what is going on and the incident just weakens a party that is just beginning.
For perspective though, I was speaking to a CNN news crew producer that I know, and he thought that "those Tea Party people should be thrown in jail for 10 year for that [spitting incident]!" Hmm, maybe a little lack of perspective? I mean seriously a minor assault charge and a fine of $50. That is what anyone else would get for spitting, assuming they got arrested at all! And freedom of speech should protect anything else. And this is someone who is PRODUCING stories for CNN, this is not somebody without a strong bias and who needs some more rational judgement (in this particular case).
The real question come to, "how do you persuade an emotional thinker to think rationally?" This country needs to be run by good sense, not emotions. Unfortunately, that is how it is being run.

What's sad is that those same "volunteer killers" are what allow those people the freedom to foist their stupidity on others. In other countries, those types of people would have been shot a long time ago: the last thing a dictator tolerates is people with "education".

"Soldiers should be compassionately left and told why
for their own good and the good of those their choice would put at risk of harm."

A good ilustration of the smug liberal attitude of "we know better what's good for you; shut up and be grateful we have condescended to help you."

In 1994 at USNA, well after service selection night, the Academy Administration announced that there were 10 more pilot billets to be filled...only for minorities! I mentioned this in my last Equal Opportunity Survey on active duty...never recieved any follow-up on it...

Hi fellow Virginian. I am looking for more military type content for our website. I couldn't find your "contact" info on your blog. I think like you think, I think.

Long time since I've seen that one. Still funny. And no there are no real American heros anymore, they have to keep a low profile or the press will eat them alive.
