tear it down, put up a nice park, get on with life.

<snip>

Ruining your life and your childrens lives because you cant move on is not only immature, but very dangerous and destructive.

Isn't that one of the problems the south is running into?

Heritage is being called symbols of hate.

next you're going to say you're a former Confederate soldier, or a KKK member?

Absolutely not.


What heritage?

What is heritage? Where is the line between heritage and hate?

That house is part of German history. Should it be torn down, or preserved like some of the southern plantation homes?

Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. What kind of shape is Monticello in?

Give me some of the values that would override their love of socialism and hatred of capitalism. You can say they are conservative till the cows come home but the stuff they stood for says otherwise.

Nazism arose as Germany was in a deep depression. It did not arise out of a high-minded attempt to regulate the economy, it was simply pitting rich against poor for political gain. The poor were unhappy with their circumstances and the Nazis gave them a scapegoat: The rich. That scapegoat later became the Jews, homosexuals, the institutionalized, and the Gypsies.

This is conservatism.

Liberalism is something else. You can't go from Occupy Wall Street's: "Let's regulate the banking industry to remove some of the predatory practices that the economic niche allows and have been opportunistically exploited," to, "Let's kill the blacks for the advancement of the white race."

Uhmm, the stuff they stood for says it pretty clearly. It's telling how incapable you are of looking at things from a rational and impartial manner when you mention their hatred of capitalism but ignore their far more expressed and FAR more acted on hatred of communism. It is pretty funny to call the ideology that was not only deliberately created to OPPOSE socialism but also killed 30 million communists liberal and such though. Haha. I mean did you even bother to think about it before you wrote something?

Bingo.

Thank you for doing that better than I could have.

Would you buy the home?


No troll thread.

Answer the above question.

Would you kill your wife to cure Ebola? Would you rape Reagan's corpse while a priest massages your prostate in order to lower your taxes? Conservatives hate taxes, so they must love necrophilia and sex abuse...


I get enough illogical questions from my kids, but at least they are funny.
This is just sad this is the thought process of a grown man.

For liberals this may be a none issue. After all, slaughtering jews was legal at the time. Morals and values aside, as long as it was legal, right? But for civilized people, who you want to own a home with such a "rich" history?

...

I could see some of the liberal members of the forum who like to hide behind the shield of law buying the house. What Goebbels did was legal. So there should be no issue.

Your insults lay bare the darkness of your soul.

I mean did you even bother to think about it before you wrote something?

In the 1930s, Hitler was widely viewed as just another protectionist central planner who recognized the supposed failure of the free market and the need for nationally guided economic development. Proto-Keynesian socialist economist Joan Robinson wrote that "Hitler found a cure against unemployment before Keynes was finished explaining it."

What were those economic policies? He suspended the gold standard, embarked on huge public-works programs like autobahns, protected industry from foreign competition, expanded credit, instituted jobs programs, bullied the private sector on prices and production decisions, vastly expanded the military, enforced capital controls, instituted family planning, penalized smoking, brought about national healthcare and unemployment insurance, imposed education standards, and eventually ran huge deficits. The Nazi interventionist program was essential to the regime's rejection of the market economy and its embrace of socialism in one country.

Such programs remain widely praised today, even given their failures. They are features of every "capitalist" democracy. Keynes himself admired the Nazi economic program, writing in the foreword to the German edition to the General Theory: "[T]he theory of output as a whole, which is what the following book purports to provide, is much more easily adapted to the conditions of a totalitarian state, than is the theory of production and distribution of a given output produced under the conditions of free competition and a large measure of laissez-faire."

Except for expanding the military sounds clearly liberal to me.

To quote Matthew Modine, my comments and questions are a reflection of the duality of man.

At the root is the question why do we think the way we do?

Thak you for doing that better than I could have.

I mean there's a good reason why the nazis are overwhelmingly considered a far right ideology. People who are on the far right don't like to hear that so they try to think of excuses, but it's just the same bullshit that people on the left do to try and disown communism.

Never underestimate the power of motivated reasoning.

Are you listening to yourself? Making the poor hate the rich is conservatism? Good lord.

You mean things like Social Security and Medicaid and things like that.

There is a really good Documentary about the Roosevelts coming out real soon and how Teddy and Franklin and Elenore were called class traitors in their day and Socialists and Communists, while being true Presidents and upholding government for THE PEOPLE at the time.

They were true Patriots and believed in the country for real.

Kinda reminds me of this idiotic black Kenyan guy we have in office atm.

Yup. Unfortunately you are too stupid to understand. However, myself and others are not, so it was enjoyable to write.

So if you don't understand that everything they stood for, pro socialism, anti-communism and anti-capitalism, (much the same as the liberals today) is conservatism, you are too stupid to understand. I will take that stupidity in stride all day long.

It's not like discomfort would do anything for you. From what I see you lack the ability to rise much higher. Questioning your beliefs wouldn't gain you much.

You were made for simple things.

Remember, a lot of liberals around here are against a totally unregulated market but are for capitalism as well, like me for example.
