It occurred to me today that Obama has no WW2 History, he has no worry downloaded from his family that without the "Greatest Generation" we could be speaking German or Japanese today as our National Language... his Family really had no dog in that fight, yes he lied about his Grandfather, (for political gain) and that is his only connection.
This must be one of his more painful Holidays ... *(Christmas and Easter are probably just as painful for him)
Will he play Golf?
TT
He wouldn’t have worried about learning German...he could have picked up Austrian pretty easily and gotten by with that.
I believe that he thinks that we went into WW1, WW2, Korea, Viet Nam and the Middle East to Rape and Pillage ...
TT
The same with Romney.
His dad made money during the war, Romney moved to France during Vietnam as his dad ran an anti-war GOP presidential campaign, and his five strapping sons all avoided service, as did every man in Mitt’s direct family line going back to when they moved to America in 1842 to serve Joseph Smith.
The draft, patriotism, major wars, peacetime, nothing has ever snagged one of them.
My father fought with the 3rd Infantry Division from North Africa to Sicily to Italy to France to Germany.
They really were the greatest generation of Americans.
ONE of his more painful holidays? Every American and Judeo-Christian holiday is painful for him. So what ones DOES he like? All the Islamic ones and Halloween.
Well at least you didn’t blame it on a Bush
TT
Blame what on Bush, the Romney family’s anti-Americanism?
Why would you even bring up Bush?
Sorry I can’t start bashing Willard like the MSM bashed Bush... at this stage of the game I have to hold out a little hope for our Country ... If it’s Willard, well... at least it isn’t Obama
TT
Bush has a proud military history.
Post 4 shows the anti-Americanism of the Romney line.
Obama’s grandfather on his mother’s side enlisted in the Army for WWII, a war in which 93% of those who served in the Army were draftees.
A war in which nearly 2 million were drafted into the Marines and Coast Guard, and 36% of the Navy was drafted.
Obama hates the military and America, but his grand dad did right as far as service.
So your point is basically that Willard is as Anti American as Obama?
If so I vehemently disagree ... he ain’t perfect (and I ain’t happy) but at least he is a Capitalist.
Please don’t tell me that you are a Third Party type... that just guarantees Zero’s destruction of our Nation.
We also need both the House and Senate for more than 2 or 3 Terms (and we have to do some serious weeding)... We need our President to Appoint 2 and up to maybe 4 Supreme Court Judges that actually believe in the Oath that they take ... this isn’t going to be easy, if you are a Sheepdog you know where the Wolves are... I do, I have to, it is in my nature. Please join me.
TT
****** “ Obamas grandfather on his mothers side enlisted in the Army for WWII “ ******
And that means nothing more to Obama than a Campaign Line ...
He Hates the Military, He Hates our History, He Hates Freedom, He Hates Capitalism, quite frankly how anyone could possibly understand WHY someone that HATES the US so much would ever run for President unless he wanted to destroy it just escapes me ... are you saying that Willard holds the same Hate?
TT
You should try to keep that discussion from coming up.
Mitt Romney--"One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clintons dont ask, dont tell, dont pursue military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nations military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share."
Romney despises conservatives, it is part of his family tradition, they humiliated his father, his mother, and have been a thorn in his side his entire life.
Why do you think Romney left the GOP during the Reagan years, why do you think he started supporting and fund raising for Democrats?
And you as a Sheepdog would now propose WHAT?
TT
PS Something else I have noticed in local races here in Texas, not one single Democrat Candidate ran on being a Liberal, not even the Communists... they all said that they were Conservative... We have to be aware, but when it comes to Willard... We have been Saddled... what we have left is to have the other 2 Branches of Govt make damned sure he holds up his end... and that he nominates Supreme Court Judges that believe in our Founding Documents.
Ironically, my grandfather fought in WW2, but I speak German and Japanese.
My dad saw Navy action against both Germans and Japanese, but then I earned German jump wings, and have toured a current, Japanese destroyer. It’s a weird world.
**** “Ironically, my grandfather fought in WW2, but I speak German and Japanese.” *****
TOO COOL !!!
I have a basic grasp of my mother tongue... My Ex spoke 8 different languages, English was her 3rd, she said that to her it was like music, you can hear a melody then you just learn the lyrics... (and for English... watch Old Black and White Movies, they spoke correct English back then and that made the syntax make sense to her)
TT
****** Its a weird world. ******
I have flown in to Hawaii, Guam, Germany and France, the History was not lost on me.
But then again it was 20 years ago.
Gettin Old
