It's hard not to be discouraged by two terms of Obama, but I'm still optimistic we can reverse what is happening. I think the bloom is off the Obama rose now that the entire country sees they were lied to.

I was shocked he won re-election, but I don't think that means the country has made a shift toward accepting more and more leftism. In hindsight I think white guilt was a more powerful emotion than I gave it credit for and clearly there were evangelical conservatives who will never vote for a Mormon.

Without Obama on the next ticket, there could be hell to pay for the Democrats. At least I hope so.

No, but some very close to me are.

I attend a small church that my great-grandfather helped build, and in which my grandparents were married.
Some of us there are descendants of soldiers in the American Revolutionary War.
All of us have family who now are, or have served in the US military.

Or congregation is small, but currently blessed with an amazing minister.

My serious interest in the Holocaust began many years ago in lengthy debates with people who denied it ever even happened -- people who referenced "historians" like David Irving, Mark Weber, Robert Faurisson & Ernst Zundel.
Those debates forced me to learn more than I ever intended about the subject.

As a result, when it turned out to be a simple matter to post the daily records from the Holocaust Chronicles along with Homer's New York Times articles, I thought it would be a definitely worthwhile exercise.
The historical juxtaposition between what Americans were told via the NY Times, and the Holocaust actually happening in Europe, seems to me highly worthwhile for Free Republic readers to grasp.

Indeed, along with many here I would argue that even today -- or especially today -- the contrast between perception gleaned from liberal/progressive media and actual reality is as strong as ever.
Point is: as it is today, so it ever was, only if anything, more so.

Anyway, thanks so much, henkster, for your posts here.
As always, they are interesting, informative and make powerful points, worthy of a good lawyer.
Oh wait, you are... ;-)

Thanks for your posts, Joe. They have indeed enhanced these threads. The duplicity of some high officials in the Roosevelt Administration as to the Holocaust taking place in Europe has been rather shocking to me.
