You ought to get more sleep before you reply to something that annoys you.

You are more incoherent here than usual, though considerably shorter, which is a mercy.

For example:
To draw a parallel between sinking technically neutral merchant ships in international waters and shooting at military aircraft flying over a hostile (though technically neutralized) nation is also an over-reach.

WMD: where?

So your family has a history of looking the other way when mass murderers are on the loose.

I'll thank you not to draw parallels between my family and yours.

You may be interested in this short history of Father Coughlin. It gives an interesting insight into American populist politics at the time. American political life is capable of juggling numerous ideas all at once, unlike the simplistic, black-and-white model you have frequently espoused.

Isolationism was Republican policy in the US in the 1930s.

It's interesting that you associate 1930s isolationism with Holocaust denial, especially when the two are separated historically. (Holocaust denial as a non-Nazi activity only began after the evidence was exposed to the world, after the conclusion of World War II.) Are you saying that the two phenomena are fueled by the same basic philosophy?
