No. He wasn't.
quote:
The three most important groups who have been pressing this country toward war are the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt Administration,” Lindbergh said, before going on to add later about Jewish-American groups: “Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government,” and that they were the only ones who wanted war over the resistance of the American public who did not.
Almost as soon as Lindbergh finished his speech, there was an immediate backlash from all sides of the political spectrum. Wendell Willkie, the Republican nominee for President in 1940, called the speech “the most un-American talk made in my time by any person of national reputation.”
Sure sounds like a Nazi to me. Kind of sounds like Hitler if you wanna draw comparisons

I see several on that list that will be cut if Trump doesn’t win this year. Scalia, Graham, Reagan for sure.
And to those missing people...I would assume they will add as time goes on. Also it is meant to be a unifying tool, so they’re probably looking for as diverse of a group as possible.

I don't know if Lindbergh was a full-blown Nazi, but his public comments about Jews certainly made people go "what the frick?" when he was still alive. Not to mention he was secretly spreading his seed around Germany after the war. Even those advocating for him should be able to admit his inclusion would cause some serious backlash.
Aviation is represented just fine by Earhart and the Wright Brothers.

I would add Crispus Attucks and Sam Houston

Why not make sure it has plenty of space and add a new one every July 4th?

Interesting. I did not know this. Who says the Poli Board is worthless?

Lindberg is not the only one to say as much, even today. That hardly makes him a Nazi.

Cancel culture nothing. You need to educate yourself about Charles. Plenty has been written about his Nazi sympathies. He destroyed his reputation with his antisemitism and his favorable opinion of Hitler and Germany. Even the Smithsonian channel highlights this and calls him a Nazi sympathizer.
In addition to his autobiography, I’ve read 2 acclaimed biographies of Lindbergh. Lindbergh was without doubt a flawed and failed human being.
Yes, Lindbergh once expressed some comments that could be construed as anti-Semitic — as did many men of that day — but Lindbergh had no sympathies for Nazism as is frequently claimed by many historians. Yet Lindbergh’s main sin was he was an outspoken critic of Roosevelt’s New Deal and publicly stated that he believed the progressive hero FDR was secretly maneuvering to embroil the United States into another European war.
Viewing Lindbergh as a political rival, FDR held a grudge against him and would not allow the Army to reinstate Lindbergh’s commission after the United States declared war on Japan. Yet undaunted, Lindbergh was hired by the Army Air Corps as a civilian contractor and pilot, quietly helping to develop such notable airplanes as the Army B-24 Liberator, the P-47 Thunderbolt and the Navy F4U Corsair.
It is you who should educate yourself and quit lapping up agit-prop from the Smithsonian Institute — a “woke” bastion of political correctness if one ever existed. A good starting point would be Lindberg by A. Scott Berg.

Thank you for that - He was a hero of mine as a child growing up in the late 40s - then in college I learned about his NAZI tendencies and felt betrayed. Never did any research but never heard a defense of him until /\ this /\ post
I need to do some reading - thanks for the input ===> one way or the other.

LOL.
Lindbergh saw people with power in the US pushing the country towards war and spoke out about it. Nothing he said was inaccurate.
Sounds like you are OK with Americans dying for the interests of a certain small select group.

I am surprised that Charles Lindbergh didn’t make the cut.
He was cancelled for opposing entry to WW2 and criticizing Jewish influence

Agree. She's a stand in for all the astronauts who died, and it makes sense because she's the most famous.
Good list overall.
