I’m pleasantly surprised to see Antonin Scalia’s name on that list.

I am surprised that Charles Lindbergh didn’t make the cut.

Not me. Old Chuck was a Nazi sympathizer. Had some wonderful things to say about Hitler before WW2 slapped his trap shut.

I am too. I am also surprised Neil Armstrong didn’t make the list.

One name that I know would be too controversial, but IMO should be there is Robert E. Lee. He is arguably the best general in America history. He wasn’t fighting for the south for their ideals, but because his state/Home/Community found themselves in the Southern states.

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.


frick Charles Lindbergh

Lindbergh’s rep has taken quite a beating since his death in ‘74.

He was cancelled for opposing entry to WW2 and criticizing Jewish influence

Ehh...I’m not saying he was a Communist, but A LOT of his friends were. Also, was pretty demonstrably a fanboy of Adolph.
