At this point in time, Western Civilization, including the United States of America, is concentrating on stopping and eliminating the White masculine male[s] along with Christians. From their point of view, these are the enemies that must be destroyed.
They have it wrong, don’t they?
White male (and female) Christians are what made America Great, and they will Make America Great Again!
WE MUST STAY THE COURSE!
They do. And we will.
Certainly children today have forgotten since most have never been taught about it and if they have it was just a passing notation of history. Today children are not taught about it in the awe inspiring terms of struggle for freedom, humanity, right, courage, sacrifice and all the other things that stir older generations to emotion.
I would say that for at least the last two generations the memory of D-day has faded to now not much for this third one now growing up.
At the cemetery on Memorial Day you can almost peg the sections of the grave yard by vintage of the burial. Older than the 1950s are forgotten. Their people have been scattered to the winds and they are forgotten if not lost.
Reagan said it right, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” Hard to imagine isn’t it?
They even had to delay the release of The Sullivans movie during the war, because they were worried about the impact on morale.
The people in our country born after 1960 have become complacent and think that nothing can ever go wrong with their grandiose ideas of globalization socialism...
“Democrats want socialism. They have anti-Semites in Congress. I think they would have admired the Nazis if this were the 1930’s.”
You might want to compare that to what did happen. The driving force to get America into the fight against Hitler was the soft-socialist Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt. The isolationist wing of American politics that wanted us to stay out of the war, the America First Committee, featured many Republicans.
Hitler was actually admired by many socialists in America before he appeared to betray them by attacking his neighbors and starting WWII. Roosevelt knew of Hitler’s plans for the Jews but did nothing. Since Germany declared war on the U.S. instead of the other way around, there was little option except to respond in kind.
“Hitler was actually admired by many socialists in America before he appeared to betray them by attacking his neighbors and starting WWII”
And your source for that is? Are you conflating the Communist Party line with “socialists in America”?
“Roosevelt knew of Hitler’s plans for the Jews but did nothing.”
So was FDR telepathic? The Wansee Conference is where the Nazis decided upon their Final Solution. It occurred in January 1942 and it was kept secret. By the time of the Wansee Conference in January 1942 we were at war with Nazi Germany. What more do you think FDR could have done?
“Since Germany declared war on the U.S. instead of the other way around, there was little option except to respond in kind.”
Maybe you should remind yourself who gets to declare war: it’s Congress. And until Pearl Harbor, Congress was staunchly non-interventionist. By contrast FDR was doing all that he could to aid England. He had already instituted Lend-Lease. He swapped naval bases with England to give us access to the eastern Atlantic. We were escorting convoys. We had attacked U-Boats on our coast.
There are examples of Hitler admirers on the political Left prior to WWII, such as Orson Welles. Don’t you know he was leader of the socialist party of Germany? Hitler also made it very well known at the time that he would get rid of Germany’s Jews one way or another. The smart ones like Einstein left on their own. Hitler basically was asking other countries to take them off his hands. Did I suggest that Roosevelt declare war? I don’t remember it.
“There are examples of Hitler admirers on the political Left prior to WWII, such as Orson Welles.”
Really? That idea comes entirely from Welles telling Dick Cavett that once, as a young man traveling around Austria, he sat next to Hitler at a dinner. And of that dinner Welles said “And he (Hitler) made so little impression upon me that I can’t remember a second of it”.
Doesn’t sound too admiring to me. But it’s a complete fabrication by Welles anyway, since after leaving Austria in 1913 Hitler only returned once, for one day, to bury his niece.
Here’s Welles telling that story for anyone interested, it’s about a minute in:

“Don’t you know he was leader of the socialist party of Germany? “
Not only do I not know that, neither does any biographer of Hitler. The socialist party in Germany during Hitler’s time was the SDP, the Social Democratic Party. They shared the political left with the KDP, the Communist German Party. The “Socialist” in NSDAP was nothing more than part of the name, and they spent the 1920s in street battles with the German left. In the 1930s they fought the international left by proxy in the Spanish Civil War.
“Did I suggest that Roosevelt declare war? I don’t remember it.”
No, you were blaming him for not doing anything about Hitler. And I pointed out that FDR did plenty short of declaring war, which he couldn’t do.
There IS a reckoning in the LIEberals future!
