Correct, I should have said social statement about race relations today. I know that discrimation existed then, I would even pay that leftist jerk Lucas the movie cash to watch a well made movie about Tuskegee. But why is there such a large surrounding race context today in 2012? My point...

No not really, it was someone drawing my attention to obama's flyover thing. It is always Blacks that will draw attention to race these days. We could not just have a movie about a fighter wing in WWII, it has to be a movie with a social statement about race so therefore I am going to comment on...

Nope, no hope. As of 2009 the percentage has actually fallen below 2%. Look at the dialogue though from black leaders. All the same shit, racism and slavery are why blacks cannot or will not perform well technically. This excuse making will NEVER lead to anything...

So what did Tuskegee really mean historically? 80 pilots destroying 250 planes total air and ground obviously meant little in the course of WWII, so its meaning was symbolic in that sense. the fact that it keeps getting rehashed is proof of that. Consider that with only 80 guys, you were...

Yes, but let's give them benefit of doubt and put the kill ratio at 2:1, it's odd though that they had no aces. Pretty good but probably not the best of the era especialy given that the bulk of their kills were from late 1944 to the end of the war when the Luftwaffe had already been beaten...

From what I read it seems the 2009 New York story checks out. Now I understand why Obama's fall guy resigned so quick, some lowlife named Caldera. Obama acted like Caldera was being a bad boy acting on his own, I remember that well now. If you think that Obama was not in on this for Lucas, then...

If that picture is not photoshopped then yes I am inclined to believe it, it makes too much sense given Obama's ego driven image agenda. Note the exaggeration in the site quoted: from the more trustworthy site I gave: A good record but by no means extra special or war changing- 98...

That's an important point. 'What is best' , the "right thing", fair share, etc. are all relative to one's own point of view. They are meaningless really, there are no moral or political absolutes there are only choices. 377OHMS, I like your username being the nerd I am. How about I change...

They lost some 25 bombers. You actually want to reaffirm the trajectory we are on? Even Obama doesn't want that. Please do humanity a favor and get out of the voting pool. If I had Limbaugh's cash, costa rica doesn't sound all that bad.

Yes, actual history is fascinating enough for me. I'm still seeing new WWII footage once in a while. The scale and the brutality of the Russian front is boggling when I watch that stuff. Sometimes those list have a few gems, sometimes you wonder wtf? Gang, if you don't mind subtitles...

The charactartures - just a movie opinion though. Platoon probably had more anti american sentiment. Either way, too much jingosim or too much of any personal politics and I don't want it in my entertainment. Please try and entertain me with interesting reflections of reality if possible in...

I said it when the guy was elected, this man is all about style over substance. He is not a deep thinker. Johnson had one of the worst terms in modern history. Vietnam, race riots, culminated by the fact that he could not even appear at the democratic convention over fear of rioting. If he...

Red Tails is coming out, I'll probably wait for it on cable if I watch it at all. I'll make a fearless prediction for this movie- historical accuracy is not in the mix here. You can tell by the commercials that Lucas is going for that intelligence-insulting Hollywood formula targeting the...

I'm not sure why people keep ignoring that, it is as if you could simply install the 'correct' economic policy in the central african republic and out would pop another germany. Any country or economic system is only as good as the people in it. One of the primary reasons for american success...

You fail to respond to my main point and consider the most salient historical point of view, the view of americans living at the time. The elected Kennedy on a tax cut platform to stimulate the economy. Talk out your ass all you want about how great it was, but the people who lived it disagree...

Prosperity? Small homes, one car, and everyone worked in a factory. You cannot analyze tax rates in a vacuum, the US had the only intact industrial base in the world. Energy was also cheap - 'prosperity' was almost a given. Ask yourself this, if things were so dandy the why did John...

Making predictions on the internet is going out on a limb? Well then I'm gonna show you who has the balls around here. I predict that S&P will crash 500 pts on 14 February, it will be called the heart break.

Your friends are one toke over the line, if there was even a whiff of that Vegas would shut down betting and people would be in court. I'm not saying I love the religious theme with Tebow, I don't think it is fake though. Eye paint with John 3:16, meh doesn't bother me much as long as he...

Hi Ricter, I made up 'forcing young boys' as sarcasm. Women went college all right, but for specific disciplines. They excel at medicine and music for sure. The point is that they wanted to go to college, men don't want to be nurses given the opportunity. Why is that perceived as a...

You are not enlightened, don't you understand that all genders, races, cultures, etc. are exactly the same? The only difference between and man and a woman is that their bodies are different... aw forget it... just sit back and wait for liberal wisdom. I do know that most white men are bad...
