[StBernard] Lindberg speech

[Westley Annis]

Great, but typical, liberal comeback: trying to divert to another issue.
Okay, so what you are saying is though Lindberg might have been anti-semite,
you do not disagree with the fact that he recognized Roosevelt for being a
"radical" progressive socialist, who just like Obama, was out to restructure
the constitution to achieve the socialist agenda.

I never knew Lindberg was an anti-Semite either.

By 1938 Lindbergh had become dissatisfied with Britain and France and had
been looking to move. During the October trip to Germany Lindbergh and Anne
searched for a house in Berlin because they thought a stay in Germany would
"be interesting from many standpoints". The two found a house in the Berlin
suburb of Wannsee, then returned to France to pack their things and retrieve
their children. Just two weeks later, on 9-10 November 1938, the Nazis
unleashed premeditated anti-Jewish riots across Germany; characterized by
the destruction of Jewish businesses, homes and synagogues, the riots became
known as Kristallnacht. After Lindbergh received word of this, he
immediately cancelled his plans to move to Berlin.

During the trip across the Atlantic by ship Lindbergh wrote in his diary an
entry that now sheds some light onto his views on Jews, which he was careful
not to share in public. His diary entry on 10 April 1939 reads "a few Jews
add strength and character to our country, but too many create chaos. And we
are getting too many. This present immigration will have a reaction". Not
until his 1941 speech in Des Moines/Iowa did Lindbergh utter such words
publicly.
