        Double PING to two ping lists

Victor Davis Hanson Ping !         Let me know if you want in or out. Links: FR Index of his articles:  http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/keyword?k=victordavishanson  His website: http://victorhanson.com/     NRO archive: http://www.nationalreview.com/hanson/hanson-archive.asp

Nailed It! Moral Clarity BUMP ! This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page. You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

The Fourth Estate as the Fifth Column.

Good piece.

"Hitler had nothing to do with 12/7!!!"

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

We would INDEED have seen such stories had not Hitler attacked the Soviet Union and turned the communists into our allies.

The press was in love with the commies, and when the Soviet Union was attacked suddenly the press was all for the US jumping into the war.

[Berlin_Freeper]

The Germans did try to influence American public opinion and sentiment before the war. There was some famous people that jumped on the bandwagon like the flyer Charles Lindbergh.

And those people were free to go around and give speeches about how friendly and good the Nazis were. That is until events finally unfolded and Germany declared war on The US. Then those people were not heard from anymore.

Today, we have the Terrorists actively giving not only threats against America, but picking up on the political attacks against the Bush administration from the Democrats.

In this way the enemy has made common cause with the Democrats and this has not disturbed the Democrats one bit. The most disturbing part about this is that back in WW2 those that were supportive of the Nazis were shut-up once blood was being shed on the battle field. But today we have lost thousands in the War against Terror yet the common cause between the Democrats and the Terrorists continue regardless.

It's disgusting and why I will never vote for any Democrat as long as I live.

Imagine if we’d reported on WWII the way we do now

Well, then you would have to imagine that Roosevelt, Stimson, Marshall and King were as clueless as the Bush administration.

You would have to imagine that they did NOT have the Office of Censorship up and running by Pearl Harbor Day +12. You would have to imagine that they did NOT create a Federal propaganda agency to spread "good news" and to supress bad news within six months of Pearl Harbor.

You would have to imagine that they did not shoot out-of-uniform enemy soldiers captured on our territory without trial, but instead voluntarily turned them over to the US civil courts.

You would have to imagine that they did not intern enemy aliens who had managed to attain US nationality.

You would have to imagine that instead of celebrating the Carson Robinson Orchestra's version of "We're Gonna Have to Slap the Dirty Little Jap" that President Roosevelt had them arrested for hate speech.

You would have to imagine Shinto priests at the White House.

In short, you would have to imagine a lot besides changes in the behavior of reporters.

Imagine if we couldn't listen for "chatter," one of the most important pattern indicators of an impending attack.

[aculeus]

Brilliant.

I didn't know about the submarine order.

Great post!

[zook]

Bravo. I've been saying this from the get-go. Our MSM today is disloyal; plagued by institutionalized anti-Americanism. It's to the point that we may never be able to wage, let alone win, any war, especially during a Republican presidency. The press won't allow it. I hate to be such a downer, but I often hear myself thinking, "America doesn't deserve itself anymore."

[Edgerunner]

This is the way the DUmmies see WW2...

[Edit35]

If one were to use this anti-NSA logic put forth by Dems, the US govt. should have gotten a court order during WWII before it could intercept those Nazi submarines which came inside US terratorial waters off NJ and NY.

After all, we shouldn't want to violate the Nazi combatants' rights now, do we?
