Bush sr was 18 at the time...1942...thats hardly ancient history....and i believe some reparations for slavery have been called for...
the Bush family has NEVER even blinked...you know the old saying the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? Have you EVER seen a Bush admit a mistake?
If any of them had ever tried to be different you might could trust them but they are a typical political family (dont forget i live in fl we have a bush for gov as well as president

)...BTW please dont try to tell this southern boy everyone has forgiven and forgotten slavery or the civil war and that was over in 1865 ....yeah i think someone who supported ADOLPH HITLER's Plans 63 years ago should have been exempt from his SON and grandson being our president.
For example, say you ran an orphanage and charles manson's son (although he doesnt actually have a son to my knowledge) showed up and asked for a job...would you hire him? i might have second thoughts about letting him mop the floors...much less RUN the orphanage....
somehow i think the leader of the free world ought to have a little cleaner pedigree than that. I am not out to bush bash...that was just ONE example of questionable behavior of our leaders....its not like the Bush's were the first two presidents of our country (a country founded on a belief in GOD) who slept in coffins full of dirt for a initiation into a secret society....after all the top echelon of the N.S.A and C.I.A are also boners...we absorbed many top nazi's into what became the C.I.A and gave jobs and immunity to the japanese scientists (monsters) from unit 741...
Are you aware Prescot Bush and fellow boners also robbed Geronimo's grave? and that the skull of the famous American indian is in the skull and bones society vault?
personally i wouldnt trust someone from a secret society that encouraged grave robbing and sleeping naked in a coffin full of dirt (even once) to watch my dog, much less my country.
remember how they told you in school that any of us could be president one day ? How many of you honestly still believe that? Perhaps IF you are born into a rich political family and dont mind sleeping in a coffin you can be president is closer to the truth. how can people that far seperated from the reality of the world the rest of us live in possibly understand the needs and expectations of the common man? they cant...thats why we have leaders shopping for new 1000 dollar pairs of shoes while americans die from lack of basic needs....
Mike you said you had already donated HALF your families savings to help out your fellow man....what have our rich leaders done?...they have dropped the ball thats what.
let me close by asking this...how is it when people found out the "king of pop" michael Jackson slept in an oxygen chamber at night it was a big scandal, yet when our presidents sleep in a coffin for an initation no one seems to mind?
Here is a link to the CBS website and an article/expose they did on the Skull and Bones Society...

note its a 60 minutes piece...these are not a bunch of wacky conspiracy nuts...
OOPS sorry turned this into a political rant ...sorry about that...it seems when religion and politics come up i cant shut up...probably because the unspoken rule is dont discuss these things...that in itself makes me wonder.
