This is a complete lie. Depressions are easy to spot especially in hindsight. There has only been one depression and we all know what it is.

(This is of coarse discounting examples like WWII in which we were forced into the war while a Democratic resident was in power) The right wing way of thinking is not with your head but with a gun. Mainly if you in any way say something against the president or government in office it is unpatriotic and makes you a bad American.

Oh this is such blatant bullshit. Republicans didn't start World War I, it wasn't even fought on American soil it was fought in Europe. Kennedy (Democrat) got us involved in Vietnam further (though in his defense prior to his assassination he was talking about getting us out of Vietnam) and Lyndon Johnson (also a Democrat) escalated that to horrible levels. Nixon, for all his scumbaggery, started pulling troops out of Vietnam. As for Bush senior going into Iraq in '91 was authorized by the United Nations and was the right thing to do. As for King George the Fourth; going into Afghanistan was completely justifiable and probably the only thing right he did after 9/11. Really the only thing you have going on this list (against the Republicans) is the Iraq War...which is balanced out by Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson's actions in regards to Vietnam.
