D Day, WWII

It looks like Ghost Commander of NV is more interested in his blind hatred of President George W. Bush than in answering questions about WWII. FYI, "Ghost", GWB did a fine job as president and his father was a WWII hero!

Ghost Commander of NV is someone I've never met and hope I never do!

D-Day Bigot

Note to Richard of "Few Stars of David" and "all white":

What a stupid bigot you are. Consult your history - it is all online, if you dare venture out of FOX News.

Jews were represented above their percentage of the population (2%), and blacks were well-represented (though kept out of many positions.)

D-Day/WWII

This was a struggle against Nazism/Fascism and for Democracy. Today, we are involved in a political verbal fight between Democracy and those who refer to themselves as Republicans, but who are really Fascists. From the recount in Florida to the Fascist Criminal Enterprise of the cheney/bush mis-administration and the brown shirt rubber stamping by those things in Congress that were supposed to represent the people, but who really were looking out for their own interest and Wall St. and the business class. Their conduct should be considered Treason to the Democratic Principles we hold dear. They have no interest in rebuilding America, they want to see the USA in ashes. Let us, We the People, pledge our honor, our remaining wealth, and our blood to make sure they do not succeed. Just consider them the propagators of Hitler's "Big Lie" and do not even listen to them.
