Good Point,
Henry Ford recieved the Cross of the German Order for his work in Publishing the pamphlet "The International Jew, a Worldwide Problem [Berlin, 1921]. I doubt, I really doubt, that most Ford owners are Nazis or Nazi sympathizers. Although, I did see a Ford truck on GW's ranch....hrmmmm, ya think maybe? Nah.

I think what Cokehead is saying (if I can be so bold as to venture my opinion) is that any war, to be succesful, must be supported & shared by the population in general. This unpopular war is being fought, understood & the sacrifice shared by very few American. FDR & Churchill rallied the population by being honest about the need for everyone to sacrifice...... Our present CinC (Coward in Charge) tells us to help the war effort we should " Go to the mall!"

Oh, I thought the context of what GW was talking about had to do with the fact that we shouldn't shut down the economy by staying home and cowering behind our beds on fears that towel heads would be blowing up Walgreens and the like.

I do agree that GW is the consumate expert on " cowering behind our beds ".....After all, he has much experience in that practise.
