Charles Lindberg was very unique. Below is why.

[Robert W]

Lindberg was a pioneer in aviation when he flew in 1927 from New York to Paris across the Atlantic. Yet he lived long enough to see NASA put an american on the moon.

If someone or something is "unique", it's already one of a kind. You can't qualify it by adding "very".

Well, I'd say you can.

You can have people who are "unique" because they do something slightly different. Then you have people who are "very unique" because they do something very differently.

Like, you have a guy who sucks his milk out of his cup with a double headed straw. That's unique, but a guy who sucks his milk up out of his cup with his ass is... very unique.

The definition of "unique" is, one of a kind. Very unique is an absurdity. Something cannot be more unique or less unique. Or very unique. The Hope Diamond is unique. Enough said.

Did Democrats make that claim?

That is a very unique statement. Reason, yours. Actually yours is not one of a kind.

If I said you are unique, that is not true.
Why the derailing by ??? Are you a Democrat?

Charles Lindbergh Pushed Anti-Semitic Conspiracies To Keep America From Fighting Hitler

Charles Lindbergh was an American hero after his historic solo flight across the Atlantic — then he wrecked his legacy through bigotry and associations with Nazis.

allthatsinteresting.com

Lindbergh’s aviation heroics coupled with the public’s anguish over the kidnapping and murder of his young child should have been enough to afford him a lifetime of goodwill — but that isn’t what happened. Instead, he performed one of the most notorious heel-turns in American history and revealed himself to be a nativist anti-Semite, and possibly even a Nazi-sympathizer, to the shock of the American public.

Lindbergh would spend the years leading up to World War II actively campaigning to “protect the white race” and for the U.S. to maintain strict neutrality toward Nazi Germany. He even flew to Germany to receive a medal in person from Hermann Göring, the infamous commander of Nazi Germany’s Luftwaffe, on behalf of Adolph Hitler himself.

But it was his association with the nativist America First Committee (AFC) that would ultimately become his epitaph.

The Ugly History Of The Original 'America First' Movement — And How It Ultimately Failed

The committee was initially founded to keep the United States out of World War II, but it quickly grew into something far more ugly.

During one infamous 1941 rally in Iowa, Lindbergh said, “The British and the Jewish races, for reasons which are not American, wish to involve us in the war… Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government.”

The voice is the voice of Lindbergh, but the words are the words of Hitler,” the San Francisco Chronicle wrote. And a New York Herald Tribune columnist declared, “I am absolutely certain that Lindbergh is pro-Nazi.”

America first, Gee, where have I heard that before?

Historians you say. But you excluded Democrats. Who do you believe are the Historians?

Lindberg was a Nazi

No, he wasn't. He may have been an anti-Semite, and he was certainly anti-Semite adjacent at the very least, but he wasn't a Nazi.

Was Charles Lindbergh a Nazi sympathizer?

The Minnesota native drew controversy for his remarks and actions preceding America's intervention in World War II.

Here is the charges against the FDR Democrats.
Charles did not want war.

FDR however did want war.
Democrats also wanted war.
So they attacked Charles for not wanting war.

Lindberg did not want War.
FDR wanted war.
Democrats wanted war. So they picked a name to call Charles.
Democrats are the Nazis due to them and the Nazis having the same aims. Both wanted war.

FDR was super anti Semite. So much so he barred Jews coming to the USA on the Ship.

He contributed to that by using his connections to billionaires to get funding for Robert Goddard, the original rocket scientist.
