More apt to describe you. Tell me, how do you go to the Navy for four years and get a MA and a MBA in five and now have a job making a ton of money with a ton of rentals while only out of school for the most two years? Not only that, a look at your postings about Constantine display a genuine lack of knowledge.

So, this was correct, eh? Yep, it was.

You got slapped down in the previous thread because of your arrogance in assuming that you HAD to be right.

Now you take the same narrow view of history as it being "no big deal", just some greedy bank robbers and bypass the real significance of the actions. Again, because of your arrogance that you couldn't possibly be wrong.

NOW you wanna assume that I'm googling things (which, even if I were, I'm getting it more right than you are, not googling) because you're so sure no one could possibly know as much or more than you do.

THat's an intellectually dangerous path my friend...

No, I don't think that. I have noticed though that a couple of times you have asked me to verify something and then disappeared afterwards, not wanting to admit any mistakes.

It was a glorified bank robbery. Now, were they on a bank robbing raid or not?

Again, not my area... but if I remember right, there was a threat of military escalation along the canadian border if things went too far. Of course this would cause the Union to have to split it's naval forces on two fronts. It posed some significant challenges to a fragile US/British relationship as well.

I'm way out of my league on this one though... It's been years since I've studied any history but the era and events surrounding the founders, and the Constitution.

Like what? Examples please. Usually I'm grateful for the new info. And I have stated repeatedly that this is not my area of knowledge. Of course I'm gonna make mistakes. You on the other hand....

The act itself doens't seem to be of issue. They could have been conducting panty raids. What is at issue is where they launched the raids from and the implications of those raids.

In my seldom humble opinion, a two front war would have been the great equalizer, even more so then naval and arms support from Britain directly.

Maybe other will have a different view,, or a different prospective

Am I right in thinking that Dum1 is trying to imply that the raid involving a bank robbery, and the raid being a military act were mutually exclusive ?

If so, as usual, he is wrong
