Hello,
I am an English teacher and teach an Anne Frank unit. Over the years, you have had wonderful stories about the holocaust. In February you ran one called the Mascot. I was wondering if you could send me that show (I have been having consider trouble accessing it on my computer). Also, if it not too much trouble, would you please send me any other stories that relate to the holocaust? Thank you for your time.

Please explain what your hispanic heritage has to do with the anything, and how do you assume anything about my background. Having your child married into another heritage does not bestow upon you wisdom. And yes racism IS a serious problem in the world, but it is only worsened with having an obsession of one's ancient tribal heritage. Such an obsession is what is making one genocide paramount over all other genocidal suffering. Suffering becomes narrowly defined. If it doesn't appear on 60 Minutes then it is not "suffering." Get it?

You throw that word "ignorant" so carelessly into the discussion at your own risk as it comes back and hits you in the face.

As an American of Hispanic heritage that was the most ignorant statement I heard in a long time. Many people today live their lives oblivious to what is happening in the world around them, often trying to convince themselves that racism is not a problem in their world. I hope your children married into anything other than what you are. Then , maybe YOU%u2019LL UNDERSTAND.

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life. Theodore Roosevelt

Appeal for Redress
Sign this Appeal.
This site is an Appeal For Redress in support of our mission in Iraq.
An Appeal For Redress is an authorized means for active duty military to submit a grievance to Congress. It can be signed by Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard military personnel.
It is authorized by DoD Directive 1325.6 and DoD Directive 7050.6.
The wording of the Appeal for Redress is:
As an American currently serving my nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to fully support our mission in Iraq and halt any calls for retreat. I also respectfully urge my political leaders to actively oppose media efforts which embolden my enemy while demoralizing American support at home. The War in Iraq is a necessary and just effort to bring freedom to the Middle East and protect America from further attack.
If you are active duty, reservist or national guard, please Sign this Appeal.
Most service members fully support the war in Iraq and feel calls to retreat by Congress and attacks by our media on our conduct and mission act to motivate our enemy while demoralizing our support at home, directly increasing the threat we face and resulting in greater American casualties. This Appeal for Redress provides a way in which individual service members can appeal to Congress to fully support us and actively oppose media attacks on our mission and our morale.
This Appeal will be delivered to members of Congress.

truckerndfw/Mel Gibson: when I said the holocaust never happened that was SARCASM, I'm sorry you chose not to acknowledge that. My comments were in response to your jew-baiting rant...and as far as "the underlying question" what question??? I saw no question in your post just the usual anti-semitic David Duke/Iranian-Ahmadinejad horse$hit. You guys should form a club, you can call it the KKK.

Dear Bob Simon,

"Deep down, I believe that a little anti-Semitism is a good thing for the Jews - reminds us who we are." --Jay Lefkowitz (NYT Magazine. Feb.12, 1995. Page 65).

Jay Lefkowitz is now Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy.

A sick man! Don't you think?



Peace.

To bluestardad: Good posts; how very true!
"If you tell a lie big enough & keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
- Joseph Gobbels (Nazi Propaganda Minister)
How well this quote describes the Bush/Cheney adm. & their never ending lies; especially the War on Terror (a War of Terror against the American people) & the North American Union ( read about this--I am very alarmed by this--it could mean the end of the USA--I intend to write my Congressmen & tell him to vote against any further legislation directed towards the formation of the North American Union, which is scheduled to exist by 2010--the Bush/Cheney adm. is handling this very quietly).

Will History Repeat Itself? New gun legistration introduced by Democrats from New York, taken from the Dictator's own play book.


"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun control. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!" ---Adolph Hitler, 1933
