I've noticed Perry has some libertarian views himself.
I personally don't care what mistakes he made in the past. Ronald Reagan supported FDR whole-heartedly and was a staunch advocate of the New Deal before becoming a Republican. Though I thought it was kinda funny that when the camera panned out as Ron Paul was talking you could see that Perry is twice his size.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
