The Greatest American

[RickJay]

@Jonathan Chance

Me: I notice we seem to be inspired by those great Americans who espoused the Nazi ideology. On the list are Charles Lindbergh, who was a great fan of the Third Reich, and Henry Ford, who believed Jews were in a cabal with the devil, and Mel Gibson, whose beloved daddy is a famous Holocaust denier.

1. How does Mel Gibson’s FATHER being a Holocaust denier make Mel Gibson a Nazi? Or is Mel Gibson’s father on the list?

2. Is Mel Gibson’s father - I don’t even know his name - actually a famous Holocausr denier? Or is he just a Holocaust denier who has a famous son?

Well, allow me to say that question should be properly addressed to Gene Weingarten and not me.

I consider it value-neutral, myself.

The acquisition of wealth/power/fame is neither good nro evil; it’s how one uses that wealth/power/fame that matters.

Capitalism is not about the acquisition of wealth. Socialism is about that. Capitalism is about the creation of wealth.

The reporter who protested Mel Gibson’s inclusion on account of his father is an orangutan.

Wait, no Edgar Allan Poe?

Inventor of the mystery novel, refiner of the short story, and the father of the horror story? The one whom most American writers consider the father of American writing?
