my dad fought in WWII, but all the clippings we have after he was belatedly identified as having survived Pearl Harbor have to do with fighting "the Japs" (apologies for the slur). I suppose because he didn't get to Europe, or because it was earlier in the US's involvement with the war. I don't know.

i'm glad he survived because i would never have been born otherwise. of course, it was a World War, so i guess that explains it.

i second your emotion, i will fight Nazism and all forms of bigotry to the end of my days.

Speaking for myself, I'm going to speak out everywhere possible, and I'm going to oppose these horrible people every step of the way. They can't march down our streets with their filthy brown shirts and swastikas and white supremacy flags without being challenged every single step of the way. They cannot forward their hate-filled, hate-based policies into our public arena because we will all challenge this every time it happens and fight it every step of the way. And what is their hate-based policy platform. Easy, just look at Trump and the radical libertarians disguised as Republicans. Oppose EVERYTHING they want and we can keep our country free. Allow them any inroads and they will take everything from us.

My dad fought them in the second world war, and we all need to fight them again, now, in 2017.

Thank god nothing happened, but the people in that temple had no way of knowing how things were going to turn out. How dare these sick fucks terrorize people like that!

These are not "decent people" they are straight up Nazis and they should be thrown in jail for this kind of armed intimidation. We need a zero tolerance policy for this kind of bullshit. One of these days, these hate-filled bastards ARE going to act with violent force and people are going to die.

I really believe that this is what Trump, Bannon, Gorka, Miller, etc. want to happen in this country. The only way to show these Nazis that they won't be tolerated is to show them that the white supremicists in power won't be tolerated.

a very old Jewish man told me a few decades ago. It concerned a Jewish temple in Rio de Janeiro which was being repeatedly vandalized. The temple elders decided to run shotgun every night and one night they captured the perpetrators. Among those elders was a surgeon, who castrated the vandals. End of vandalizing.

Has he responded to 45's comments? If so I haven't seen or heard them. I'm wondering what he's thinking about his boy now.
