Proof of what? That Bush's Grandfather was one of Hitler's biggest financial supporters? It's common knowledge.

And the apple don't fall too far from the tree.

I'd "LOVE" to hear any of the Bushs denounce Prescott's Nazi-Loving-Jew-Murdering history....

But they won't.

quote:


The second set of papers, which are in the National Archives, are contained in vesting order number 248 which records the seizure of the company assets. What these files show is that on October 20 1942 the alien property custodian seized the assets of the UBC, of which Prescott Bush was a director. Having gone through the books of the bank, further seizures were made against two affiliates, the Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation. By November, the Silesian-American Company, another of Prescott Bush's ventures, had also been seized.

The third set of documents, also at the National Archives, are contained in the files on IG Farben, who was prosecuted for war crimes.

A report issued by the Office of Alien Property Custodian in 1942 stated of the companies that "since 1939, these (steel and mining) properties have been in possession of and have been operated by the German government and have undoubtedly been of considerable assistance to that country's war effort".

Your comparison is weak there. Show me the anti-Muslim books that the government is making for our children. Show me the stars our government is making all Muslims wear.

Well, it's because of not "Not doing anything"

It's GIVING HITLER THE MONEY TO BUILD THE CAMPS.

There's a difference between ignoring something, and promoting something.

But we've digressed. The essential point is that unlike Commie Slaves, soldiers who take the oath to obey the Constitution, Regs, and UCMJ have a positive duty to assess each order for compliance with that oath, and to attempt to divest oneself of that duty is the lowest form of cowardice imaginable.

And those who would do that, have no honor and are not worthy of respect.

And any organization which TOLERATES THEIR PRESENCE has no honor, and isn't worthy of respect, either.

This is the comparison is weak... no anti-Muslim books are necessary, as our government and media have been villainizing them for years. Ask any Muslim and they can tell you about it. It's been a concern for Muslims and civil rights and academics since I became involved with Middle Eastern affairs in the 1980's.

As for making Muslims wearing stars... that too is unnecessary, since the women's apparel at least is a clear give-away, and in this country, just appearing of Middle Eastern origin is enough to get the crap beat out of you on a college campus, as happened to a young Christian Palestinian (along with 3 Muslim... get this... FRIENDS) a few months ago, yes, right here in this wonderful, free country. An entire football team, in all their drunken testosterone-laden glory, attacked the "rag heads" for walking the place where they were partying one Saturday night. Who needs anything so obvious as stars, that those who DO have a semblance of intelligence can point fingers at? the ground work has been long laid, and skillfully fostered and nourished.

If Prescott Bush wasn't a Nazi, why were his assets seized?

Are you refering to the Guilford College incident? I live in that town and know that incident very well. It was a college fight started by insults traded from both sides and the college security sucks so it wasn't stopped.

I live in that town too, and since I not only have a daughter on campus (whose best friend was THERE) but worked closely with the Muslim officials and civil rights organizations both locally and on the national level, and I'm sorry but YOU have been misinformed. It was not a "college fight," the Palestinians were walking through the square and the drunken football team started shouting epitephs, following up with beating, kicking and using bricks... BRICKS! A whole team of jocks against 4 young men who spent their lives in a concentration camp... Oops I mean refugee camp. same difference.

It's really too bad that the college was allowed to halt the spin and try to cover it up, to save their precious football team. Them and their Quaker values of peace and equality. Amazing how the most firmly held principles vanish when faced with losing prestige and of course money.

Are your seriously claiming that the Religious Society of Friends beat up these people with bricks?

I call BS...please provide proof that the football players, or the campus security, or even every member of  the administration are Quakers.

Fargle,

You are a pontificating ass. You are picking on the weakest in order to make yourself feel better about yourself and I find it disgusting.

Kids in the national guard and even the army did not sign up to be occupiers and oppressors, they are being fucked over, redeployed and redeployed, used up and throw away and you want to hold them responsible over their leaders. That is shallow pathetic grandstanding that makes my stomach turn, you truly sicken me.
