Imbeciles if you ask me. Lots of great charities that would use a high % of the money to good work and they give it to an inefficient government that will likely pi$$ most of it away.....stupid.

We don't understand America AT ALL: Really?
From the article:
As a refugee from World War II, he was very grateful to his adopted country. He grew up with a lot of people in Eastern Europe who would have been happy to change places with him.
There are still a lot of people in the world who would envy him the life he lived. He wanted to make a statement about how much it meant to him to be an American citizen.
I'm inclined to just say 'thank you' for the generosity.

after reading the article, it sounds like they were grateful for the USofA after the Nazi's and WW2....
sadly, our country isn't even a 10th of what it once was....

I resent these 2 dead idiots.
Burning the money would have been more beneficial.
FEDGOV wastes that much money in a minute or two, on nonsense.

West Seattle is the legislative district of Cong. Baghdad Jim McDermott. If that gives you any hint of the neighborhood.

Well, it was their business to do with their money as they willed (pun slightly intended). Still, I wish they had picked a well-run private charity or something like that. They might have done far more good for their fellow human beings had they gone that route.
Or, you know, they could have just given it all to me. I’d see it was put to good use, honest!

Would or could FreeRepublic continue to exist as it has if some wealthy benefactor paid all the costs to run this site?No sugar daddies! FR is a grassroots site for true Conservative activism. It thrives because "We the People" individually contribute to advance America returning to its pro-God, pro-life, pro-gun and anti-sodomy foundation. RINOs and liberals are funded by wealthy benefactor. Conservatives are not.

Then they could have left it to the WWII museum or perhaps a charity that aids our veterans...instead their money will be wasted on table doilies for Lindsey Graham or offices supplies for Fauxcahontas. Or for overpriced toilet seats, or for PSAs that will help no one, or for Moochelle's crappy school "lunches". Worst of all for "benefits" for those who demand everything and contribute nothing.
I had no idea such naivete still existed where FedZilla was concerned.

Well said bud. I could easily match everyone’s $$ but why? A number of Freepers are just freeloading leeches (pretty much liberals).

What are the chances they were registered Democrats?
If they’ve been dead less than 20 years you’ll find they’re still registered to vote.

Little do democrats realize that government is not the solution to our problems government IS the problem and even more so with a radical Marxist enemy of freedom as president who is named barak Obama

Idiots. There is not a less deserving entity in America for that money than the corrupt government.
What misguided idiots.

My father would say, "This is like leaving your money to General Motors because you liked the guy who sold you your Pontiac.
