I don't know... But he was religious. A Christian. Believed he was doing the good of the country. Feared the terrorist i.e. in his case the Jews. Had the backing of the Church. Believed the Bible supported everything he done i.e. via scripture. Convinced a lot of people to think his way. Demonized his believed enemies. Was straight. Had a girl friend. Held a world view of a better place for his country. Felt everything he did, bad and the good, was justified.
Sound familiar....? Funny how that all works.

How can people not know who Qin Shi Huang was? Morons.

Look, education SUCKS in a lot of places in this world, so there's bound to be some information we consider critical that they consider "meh, whatever." That's just how it is. If someone grows up uneducated, I wouldn't consider him retarded just because he doesn't know that 7 + 8 makes 15.

He bombed Pearl Harbor, ya moron.

I mean technically he was England's Prime Minister when he did it, but more people know him because of the bombing.

No, he was a high level Jew, bent on making a Jewish state of the whole world and subjugating the gentiles. Everybody knows this.

So the guy is comparing the holocaust to abortion. What a fucking moron! They should have responded, "I'm for abortion because that increases the changes of you not being here and asking stupid questions."

I'm not sure. I understand <10 year old's not knowing about 9/11, simply because they weren't born when it happened, and they haven't learned it in school yet, but I don't know why an adult wouldn't know about large events in our history. Unless of course they never took any history or social studies courses.

Sometimes when I see these kind of things (like Jaywalking), I think people are just playing stupid, not being stupid. Either that or they freeze up because there is a cameraman asking them questions out of the blue.

If you know who Lincoln was then you should know who Hitler was and vice versa. Hitler was a Lincolnite, and Lincoln was the protege of Henry Clay the National Socialist.

After all, Hitler shared too many things in common with Lincoln, wrote favorably of Lincoln, and as it was for Lincoln, federalism wasn't good enough for a nationalist like hitler. Federalism isn't good enough for me in the opposite way since I'm a hardcore confederalist.

Wait, that's the guy in the White House, right? I heard it on Fox, so it must be true.

well done.

people really show off what stupid shits they really are when they compare people to hitler. not only is their comparison completely illogical, but they undermine the significance of that era.

fwiw, i think stalin and hitler are neck and neck as the "history's greatest monster"

Not following, at least not if you're referring to any americans.

If you can't tell the difference between us and them, you have real problems my friend.

Public schooling? Kids don't give a shit? Fill in the blank.

My dad couldn't name any nation we fought in WW2 and he's almost 50.

i actually think genghis khan was just as bad as hitler, but i guess once 1000 years have passed people forget enough about you to make you seem less awful.
