Coughlin was a mover and shaker in the America First Committee. It's a curious bunch who had many of the larger issues of the day figured out. Of course going head to head w/the Federal Reserve is unhealthy, so Coughlin was banished before too long, dying in obscurity in the mid 1970s.
Charles Lindbergh (and family) didn't find America First ideas healthy either.
Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is. ~George W. Bush (About the quote: Speaking on the war in Kosovo.)
The America First Committee had its share of prominent businessmen as well as the sympathies of political figures like Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Senator Gerald P. Nye, and Socialist Party leader Norman Thomas, with its most prominent spokesman being Charles A. Lindbergh.
Other celebrities supporting America First were novelist Sinclair Lewis, poet e. e. cummings, author Gore Vidal (as a student at Phillips Exeter Academy), Alice Roosevelt Longworth, and actress Lillian Gish. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright attempted to join, but the board thought he had a "reputation for immorality".
Yep, Charles Lindbergh is still considered a Nazi by THEM.
I'm surprised to see that Gore Vidal was a member. No wonder they despise him.
