Today was the Birthday of my Grandfather Don C Smith. If any of you remember a post I posted a while back about how welfare was before FDR I spoke of him. If not and you like to see it Ill try to find it and repost it. But, today I like to tell you the lying that Obama does today is an old Democratic tradition. My Grandfather did not relate this till late in his life. He had carried the burden of this guilty till just before his death in Jan. 1990. He carried it because he considered it his duty to his country and due to the promise he took to keep the secret. We were all taught in school that Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack. Well, it wasnt FDR knew well before it was going to happen. Yet he let it happen. Left all those ships in the harbor and let Adm. Kimmel and Gen. Short be scapegoats. FDR told my grandfather that Pearl Harbor was going to happen and he was going to let it happen because it was the only way to get us into WWII. That he needed to get Red Cross supplies and personnel to the west coast in preparation for the aftermath of the attack. Sounds familiar. Then afterwards FDR gave his famous Infamy speech. usni.org/magazines/navalhistory/1999-06/advance-warning-red-cross-connection scienceblogs/insolence/2009/12/07/68-years-ago-today/ see comment#31 monitor.net/monitor/0105b/copyright/ac-pearlharbor.html It is a shame my grandfather who was a very honest man had to live all those years with that guilty. I have fond memories of him. We use to seat and discuss the history he lived through. I miss him dearly. I graduated Medical School the June after his death in Jan. 1990. Now you know the rest of the story.
