Obama isn’t trying to gather a kumbaya convention here, which would make more sense than what he is really up to — he’s trying to make the USA lick the world’s jackboots.
Tubman wouldn’t be an unwelcome figure. She obviously wasn’t rooting for Democrats, and the GOP could have a field day explaining just why.
An interesting read is ‘Last Train From Hiroshima’. Tells about the group of people who, having survived the Hiroshima bomb, fled to safety in... Nagasaki, arriving just in time for that bomb to drop. Personal accounts of people who survived both bombs.... Rare birds, indeed.
Obama is the TRAITOROUS evil, fully supported by Traitorcongress.
I agree completely
This crap is one main reason I want trump!
One of my distant relatives, Lt. Durden William Looper, was on board the B24 Liberator Lonesome Lady when it was shot down over Japan. The surviving crewmen were brought into Hiroshima where they were held, together with other captured American airmen, in the local Japanese military police headquarters by chance, less than eight hundred yards from where the Enola Gay’s atom bomb was soon to explode. All the prisoners and their guards were killed, or died soon after.
Here’s a link to a book written about the incident.

That is rotten... to survive a plane crash and then die in a nuclear bomb.
Thanks—did not know this.
Free Republic is a fount of knowledge.
Re:11
Really? Anything?
” ... but more people died firebombing Tokyo”
Beat me to it. Not to mention the 1,000,000 or so civilian and military deaths that would have occurred as a result of a full-scale invasion of the Japanese mainland.
More like 1,000,000 American dead and wounded, and over 5 million dead Japanese, military and civilian.
No apologies.
John Kerry inspecting what he hopes Iran will do over Tel Aviv.
Apologize for Bataan and every other atrocity.
They were working on it and they had others.
They were planning in the fall of 45 to start spreading weaponized plague to the US and Australia.
Considering how transportation was in those days with people flying off to Europe and the Middle East it would have gone global in weeks if not days.
You want horror? Think of war torn Europe being hit by the Black Death on Steroids.
It would have made the 1919 Flu Epidemic look like a cold.
Look up Japanese nuclear weapons program sometime.
Japan had a nuke in Feb 1945, months before our nuke.
They just didn’t have enough fissionable material for a device they could actually use on us.
HST thinks he would have, and he thought they would have been right to do so.
I'm sure that will change once the Iranians get a nuke. Kerry and obungo are more concerned about apologizing for the US than with preventing psycho-states from getting WMDs.
