I would rather be more closely aligned with Britain, than The EU.

Washington and Monroe said they all suck and should be avoided.


In that case, the quicker you let Charles Lindbergh rest in peace the better.
What does Lindbergh being a Nazi have to do with anything?

Suggest you revisit your history before making comments about Nazi's.

What was Lindbergh's desire leading up to WWII?

To keep the Nazi safe from US entering the war. He wasn't Commander-in-Chief, the father of the US of A or the author of the Monroe Doctrine. His opinion is just that, HIS.

Again suggest you re-read your history. Since you know better than me, I will not provide you with clues, when you find the answer, we'll chat again :-)

I changed my mind, one clue it's got SFA to do with Nazism.

A history lesson for a colonial
Lindbergh claimed that the Jews were pressing the US to enter the war. The Japaneses gave US no choice. Funny they thought we would cower and capitulate.
The American First Committee was dissolved four days after the Japanese air attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941
The Monroe Doctrine says nothing about turning the other cheek.

Europe is way to unstable to get involved, almost as unstable as the Middle East.

After America was attacked: Lindbergh attempted to enlist in the military. But Roosevelt stopped it.
Lindbergh was an Army Reserve Officer who resigned his commission. That is very serious as a commission supposed to be for life.

You're preaching to the choir Clyde. I'm just wondering what your schools teach with regards to American history...

...maybe Batter-up played truant too much?

Of all threads that I thought would end in Godwin's law, this was not one of them.

Impressive.

Well without finger pointing, I am curious as to how likely anyone here thinks it is that Scotland will actually leave the UK?

As we get closer to the date, I'm beginning to think it will be a close run issue & difficult to call.

My argument is all European city states are the same and alliances should be avoided. Then you bring up the Snack Food Association.

Thanks Batter Up. Home Run!
Here is a funny song about it:)

He was the third child of Swedish immigrant Charles August Lindbergh

Lindbergh developed a long-term friendship with the automobile pioneer Henry Ford, who was well known for his anti-Semitic newspaper The Dearborn Independent. In a famous comment about Lindbergh to Detroit's former FBI field office special agent in charge in July 1940, Ford said: "When Charles comes out here, we only talk about the Jews
