A Nazi in the United States Senate

In 1952 when I built my first house in Connecticut USA my Father came to visit me." Very nice house, "he said. (He was a proud member of the builders union) "But David why in Connecticut"
"What’s wrong with Connecticut?"
"The people here are all crazy. They sent a Nazi to the United States Senate. A Nazi who supported and got rich from doing business with the madman Hitler.
My father lost many of his relatives in Byelorussia during the Nazi rampage in that country. Naturally he followed the war news very closely and that day he told me about Roosevelt passing the "Trading with the enemy act in 1942 and how the U.S. confiscated the Prescot Bush holdings in a Nazi banking group. Until then I had never heard about that and I could hardly believe it. How could voters, less than ten years after that horrible war send such a man to the U.S. Senate?
On November 8th 2006, following the U.S. elections I thought about my father. I remembered when he took me to Union City New Jersey, not far from where we lived to see the German American Bund march through the streets swastikas and all. "You should go to Hell," My father would shout at them along with some choice words in Russian.
Yes, I thought about that day because I could easily equate the Jewish community that sent Joe Lieberman back to the U.S. Senate with the German American Bund. They are the same kind of blind faith followers.
Almost the entire country voted against the war in Iraq, but Connecticut sent the leading warmonger and blind faith Israel supporter back to the senate. They knew who and what he was. They voted for him anyway just as they did in 1952 for Prescot Bush,the grandfather of our President. Most people the world over are only what the media makes them and the media in Connecticut supported Prescot Bush and recently. Lieberman.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia tells us that Prescot Bush came under fire in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. Controversially, Bush wrote home about receiving medals for heroic exploits. His letters were later published in Columbus newspapers, but were retracted a few weeks later when it was revealed that he, in fact, had not received such medals. The retraction was made in a cable in which Bush stated that his earlier letter had been written "in a spirit of fun" and was not intended for publication. Is lying passed down genetically?
Investigator John Loftus has said, "As a former federal prosecutor, I would make a case for Prescott Bush, his father-in-law (George Walker) and Averell Harriman [to be prosecuted] for giving aid and comfort to the enemy. They remained on the boards of these companies knowing that they were of financial benefit to the nation of Germany."
Ben Aris in Berlin, and Duncan Campbell in Washington wrote for the Saturday September 25, 2004 issue of the The Guardian "New documents, many of which were only declassified last year, show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis' plans and policies, he worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitler's rise to power. It has also been suggested that the money he made from these dealings helped to establish the Bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty.
As a young man I wondered how in hell the German people ever let insane Nazism happen to their country. When I had German prisoners aboard our ship during the war, I asked them that question, They shook their heads and looked down. Later one rated man said, "It’s a sickness. Someone tells you you are better than others and you like to hear it so you follow."
Simple enough. It is the fuel of all religion and politics. It is also the wind that
keeps the wild fires of greed spreading.
