Correct. I have been owning Fords lately anyway, and this is an incentive to stay with what is working. My mistake, I owned some Ford stock, but sold too quick to take profits, but profits could have been a whole lot more.

My kids have told me they would never buy a Ford because Henry sent a birthday card to Hitler.

@plainoldme,
Ford was probably like GM was as well, they probably cooperated with Hitler in Germany as a means of company survival, just as GM is doing with Obama today right here in this country.

I love people who know no history at all.

Ford was not an evil man all in all but he did buy into the anti-Jewish nonsense of that time period.

Wait! Wait! Wait! You hate Nazis and yet you endorse co-operating with them. Have you no moral compass?

@BillRM,
Thank you for the two points you made: that okie knows nothing of history and that Ford bought into anti-Jewish fervor.

Business owners are survivalists as well. Many in Germany cooperated with Hitler as a means of survival. Am I justifying it, no, but I do recognize it as a basic trait of human nature.

Relative to this point, this is an excellent commentary by Karl Rove in regard to Obama's practice of intimidating businesses and industries. I would advise the liberals here that you would be infinitely more wise to actually listen and watch than thumbing down this post, as you might actually learn something. I agree with Karl 100%. I think the summary of the whole thing is that Obama is using Chicago thuggery politics to get his way, which even the Clintons recognized this a long time ago and accused Obama of it, I think during the campaign. The link is subtitled in regard to illegal immigration, but the interview deals alot with how Obama deals with businesses, and how he used them and intimidated them throughout the medical reform debate.

Can you not read with comprehension? I swear, how many times do I read your goofy posts coming to a totally nonsensical conclusion from what I have written? I would kindly ask you, please quote where I endorsed co-operating with the Nazis, pom. Of course, you won't, because you can't.

@plainoldme,
pom, you are amazingly dense. I merely made a common sense observation about human nature. Nowhere did I make a judgement that human nature was correct in that case. In fact, one of my basic beliefs is that human nature is inherently weak and with many flaws. When you read something, do you actually attempt to understand what you are reading?

If It was good enough for the mother church during the killing of 6 millions Jews how can we question it?

@BillRM,
Why is it that when they refer to the holocaust it is only the jews who were killed. 5.9 million were jews out of 13 million who were executed. They never refer to the other innocents who were killed. I would be more inclined to feel for them if they wouldent hold it as a jewish catastrophe and ignore the other 7 million who died.

Just one of the many times the Church failed humanity.

@rabel22,
A shirt tail relative of mine was killed at Auschwitz. He was from the branch of the family that stayed in Poland in the 1880s when my direct ancestor emigrated. He was elevated to bishop and said one mass and then was arrested by the SS. He was one of the candidates for sainthood when the pope before this one was looking to elevate one of those named "blessed" to the rank of saint but was not consecrated.

I have told that to people who didn't know any Catholics were killed by the Nazis.

I love the logic here a whole religious group was target for being completely wipe out but because others that also fallen into the evil hands of the Nazis are not given equal time in your opinion you are not inclined to feel sorry for them.

Is not the human mind a wonderful thing to behold?

@BillRM,
What part of "more" dont you understand. I resent the Isralie state for useing the holocaust for political reasons claiming that only jews were killed.
