WWII vet goes viral at Ramaswamy NH town hall: What you're saying is 'exactly what my generation grew up in'
Fox News ^ | 9.15.2023 | Joseph Wulfsohn

A World War II veteran praised Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy at a recent town hall in Hollis, New Hampshire, telling him his words are what his generation "grew up in."

In an exchange posted on social media Friday from the event on Sunday, the veteran identified as David took a moment to express gratitude towards the GOP outsider, who has made restoring national identity a hallmark of his campaign.

"I'd like to say that I'm a veteran of World War II," David began, sparking huge applause from the crowd and prompting Ramaswamy to shake his hand.

"What you're saying, the words you're saying, are exactly what my generation grew up in," David said. "Children, adults stood at attention and crossed their hearts when the flag passed by in a parade. School started with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. That's no longer going on."

I’ll say it again, if this guy is authentic he is America personified.

Love, gratitude and respect for America are not endorsed. Loathing, resentment and contempt for America are standard fare.
In public schools, which are inexcusable.

The left went after the text books and shoved in books from America hating pricks like Howard Zinn then they waited. What we have now is the result.

1000% the hate towards him here on FR is similar to the way the GOP dismisses Candace Owens when they should be parading her around on their shoulders. Ditto for Vivek

I really really *want* to like him. The ‘conman/ BS’ scale is lighting up, but while I’m not sure I trust him to be anything other than a schill (or Schiff) for the WEF and NWO, I would really like to be proved wrong.

You can go nuts trying to figure out who might be an infiltrator. You will go nuts if you expect perfection or even a near clone of yourself. If Ramiswamy is saying the right things, I will not berate him for that. Besides, he isn't going to win this time around, and he brings a better perspective on many issues than the Asa Hutchisons and Nikki Haley types. Trump lit my BS indicator back when I supported Cruz. I gave him a chance, and he turned out to actually act on his campaign promises. Sometimes you have to understand people on their own terms, and I had to forgive Trump his donations to Ted Kennedy as the "cost of doing business" in the line of work that he chose.

The bedrock of AMERICA is CHRISTIANITY. Vivek’s worldview is a caste system, contrary to the U.S. Constitution.

He believes in freedom of religion. That’s what matters.

Vivek’s Hindu sect holds animosity towards Christians in India. As far as I know, he hasn’t disavowed the practice.

It would. Thankful President Trump will be the next POTUS.

Well, at least he has something uplifting and encouraging to say.

If you listen to a Rat candidate (maybe you are a Rat BTW) it's all venal nihilism or race-baiting, if not obscene stuff like pro-abortion or pro-gay rhetoric.

Shame on you for being so cynical.

This guy is trying to lead our country out of the muck.

And boy are we up to our nostrils in muck.

Truth.

I loathed Trump’s style, too; but he did a better job of following up on what he promised than anyone who has held the office since Jackson.

“ Vivek’s Hindu sect holds animosity towards Christians in India. ”

That’s a lie. Soros financed groups along with India’s Leftwing opposition and some in the media have been driving the narrative of “right wing Hindu nationalists” being anti Christian. Soros himself has been trying to bring down the Modi govt for years now without much success. Google Soros Modi to read about Soros’s involvement.

RE: Shame on you for being so cynical.

You’re in the right.

First time I was called “cynical” to my knowledge was by the fourth grade teacher. That would have been the year my mentally ill narcissistic mother forced my father to leave and accept she was divorcing him. Maybe that set off the cynicism and intense anger I feel to this day.

Sorry to you and others.
