just proves, the bush family is all american...

You mean like the 82nd Airborne?

Pretty much every president has been a sheister in one way or another.  The thing about the Bush family that is disturbing is their intimate link with the military-industrial complex.

Ever heard of the Carlyle group?  I find it very unnerving when the commander in chief and pretty much his entire network of family, business and political connections stands to profit personally from armed conflict.  Profits will always be made supplying to the militaries.  I just don't trust them when they have such control over 'demand'.

Bailey,

The Grandfather of our sitting president really did help Nazis during the war, even after American entry as a combatant and until they caught him.  This is the same person who was a political mentor to Richard Nixon.

Remember that being critical of government and our leaders is an American virtue.

you bet... just look at all that Boeing hardware we handed over under the guise of "Combat Loss"  Hell, even Lockheed helped out the Italians with a P38G semi-loaned so they could test the 38 gun package against 'wounded' B-17's in Italy/Sicily.

joe kennedy, JFK's daddy.

As Roosevelt shifted away from neutrality toward a more aggressive anti-German policy, Kennedy had to resign in November 1940. Relations were tense between Kennedy and Roosevelt (especially when Joe Kennedy Jr vocally opposed FDR's renomination). >>

Gosh, I read that whole piece of tripe and couldn't find a thing that supported your statement that said :

Would you please point that out to me?

I can trace a cousin three or four times removed into strong heavy Nazis ties.


What does that mean?


Absolutely nothing.
