Quick Reminder: Charles Lindbergh Was a God Damned Idiot

In my sunday afternoon readings, I came across this article, one that has been hidden from the American people for too long. The monster, Charles Lindbergh, was an idiot–and a Nazi knee-sucker.

As you were.

    On that same page –
    “Original Sin Among The Eskimos and So Forth”
    …”it is customary to regard a wife much in the same manner as a lawn-mower or a step-ladder, to be borrowed with a minimum of formality. … This exchange of wives is a simple matter of sociability, a courtesy not to be refused between friends or visitors. To ask an Eskimo to lend you his wife is a thing so natural that nobody will hesitate to put the question in a crowded igloo within hearing of a dozen others. It does not so much as break the thread of conversation and the husband will say yes or no, according to his momentary mood, with entire casualness.

    Between husbands, there is never any question of compensation. On the other hand, a gentlemanly bachelor whose friend accorded him this courtesy would expect to make his friend a little gift as a token of appreciation. The lady, the object of the courtesy, can expect neither to be compensated nor even consulted”

    Say it ain’t so, Fly.

    Lindbergh’s isolationist view was very well known in his times, and he was the favorite potential GOP nominee among the Taft wing of the party.

      yes, but this fact is scrubbed from most Lindbergh biographies. He was awarded some stupid medal from the Nazis, after viewing their air force. He became a Nazi propaganda tool.

        The historians (myself, albeit merely a history buff, included) didn’t forget. Any discussion of the 1940 election on PBS or C-SPAN includes Lindbergh’s role in that election’s outcome (i.e., FDR’s unprecedented third term).

        Matter of fact, even his biography page on Wikipedia has it: “Because of his trips to Nazi Germany, combined with a belief in eugenics,[134] Lindbergh was suspected of being a Nazi sympathizer.”

    1941 was the low point for the Allies. This was less than a week when Hitler attacked Russia. If the Nazis had won, Lindbergh would have been a visionary…

    nothing he said in that article wasn’t true (in 1939 the U.S. was 1000% unprepared)…..U.S. entered the war based on corporate interests, as usual. The Final Solution wasn’t known at that point. Historians will also speculate that it may have been better if the U.S. hadn’t entered the war, then Russia and Germany would have battled on and Germany would have lost anyway, with Russia having also been severely weakened.

        Russia, eventually. Other than taking a few Pacific islands, Japan was busy enslaving and raping its Asian neighbors. Obviously, the U.S. would have defended the Pacific if necessary. Worst case, we’d all be buying “made in Japan” these days.

            just looking at history objectively…..as history is written by the winners, most of the “sheeple” just repeat what they hear and what makes them feel good.

            As you can see, the history I read is from newspapers from that era.

            You are a fascist, through and through.

          So Russia would have been weakened but victorious over Germany. Thus weakened they would still have been able to beat Japan? With what navy would they have done so?

            Japan’s territory gains were 95% land-based in Asia, so Russia attacks them via Mongolia. Japan’s navy does them no good for that. China battles back from their end. Japan would negotiate a peace.

            YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND.

            The Russian army was shit then, shit now, and will always be shit.

            The Japanese would’ve samurai sworded those drunks all the way to Moscow.

            Nonsense. Japan didn’t need China to prevail, but control of the sea. Your argument is absurd and lacking in understanding of the reasons Japan went to war.

    Fucking Lindbergh. I’d rather read about Richard Branson’s inter-continental piloting any day.

    Senor, I hope you dedicate a post to coal or TWTR in the near future.
