2. Quite telling, tx for remembering.

[George II]

7. I'm ashamed to say that I think my paternal grandfather was there, too. I never met him, and....

....he was estranged from the family although my father maintained some contact with him over the years.

From what I hear, he was nothing like my father.

3. When it looked certain that Allies were going to win

Lindberg tried to join Air Corp. FDR refused request. Lindberg hung out with the pilots but was never officially in service.

4. Rat, good for FDR who knew Lindy. He was

a total white supremacist, Nazi creep with 3 secret families in Europe.

5. A Night At The Garden: American Nazi Rally 1939, NYC

The German American Bund headed by Fritz Kuhn held a rally for 20,000 American Nazis, Feb. 20, 1939, George Washington's birthday at Madison Sq. Garden, New York City.

6. republican family values nt

[George II]

8. I was heartbroken when I found out what Lindbergh was really like. I was always fascinated....

....with flying, and he was my childhood hero. Of course I knew nothing about his dark side, just his heroics in the 1920s.

A sad story all around.

9. First class fascist, traitor. Got to watch

those quiet, heroic types sometimes, lol. My mom was brought up during Lindy's worldwide fame tour and regarded him as a valiant pioneer and hero. Fortunately she didn't live to learn the real truth about Lucky Lindy.

10. White evangelicals, fundamentalists, right-wingnuts of all stripes. Same shit, different day.

[Behind the Aegis]

11. If you didn't see it, I suggest...

The Plot Against America. It was pretty good. The book was a bit different (same name) and I really enjoyed it.
