Unfortunately the only way to stop something like the Third Reich is with bloody battles. Demagogues stirring up people on hatred, bigotry and lies can do a great deal of damage especially if the cultural, economic, and social factors are there-- like they were in the 1930s-- to put fascist governments in power where there were no checks-and-balances and little if no respect for the Constitutions and Human Rights let alone International Laws.

I've got news for you, Germany was forced into war by all the BS they were put through, land taken away, the reparations they were forced to pay, because of WWI. It bankrupted the country and made Germans slaves. It's what brought about the Reich and nationalism.

WWI wasn't over some Duke that nobody liked, it was the entangled treaties and defense alliances that caused it to escalate.

ALL were unnecessary wars.

All these are things to consider when you are talking about Adolph Trump. He nationalistic views, hatred of Muslims and Mexicans, and totalarism are exactly what Hitler was pitching to the Germans - and see what happened!

Instead of tearing down the forum and setting fire to it, can't you for once allow the OP to make a comment that is not totally diverted to your agenda? On Memorial Day, you don't disparage or question the conflict, you remember the fallen. We have the best country in the world. Why? Because men died for it. Because of them we have the most powerful country, making us relatively free from attack from outside. Whether you LIKE war or not does not mean beans to me. I don't care what you think of war or history. These people served our country honorably and you have NO right to demean that. So, take your tired agenda elsewhere. It's real easy to Monday morning quarterback from your easy chair. I have traveled to and lived in many different countries, longer than I have lived in the U.S.of A. and I have yet to find a better country than ours. Don't try to make us one of the others. We have the best and if that is not good enough for losers that insist on disparaging it, then they can kiss my ****!

Who knows what is true or not? We don't. Probably never will.

I know for a FACT that oftentimes what really happens isn't what is reported in the news, in the history books either. I know that "inquiry panels" and commissions are theater and nothing more.

It's a real shame we're lied to like we are.

People who get their "facts" from the mainstream media really are hopelessly misinformed. They're "propagandized".

I meant no disrespect for anyone who served. I lost family in WWII but that was before I was born.

I don't think reading about history is unpatriotic. I try to learn something new each day.

I don't believe I have ever tore down the country. I agree it is the best country in the world. Isn't that the reason so many are moving in, or trying to and no one is moving out?

I read that only 5% of the current population lived in America during the Civil War. This is a melting pot.

Be careful when reading about history - "His-story" - because that's exactly WHAT history is...someones story.

Many come here because it's better than where they're from. Not the best any more...down around #17 as of late. Many ARE leaving, renouncing their citizenship. The rich are leaving, the poot are coming.

Did you know that more than 25%, 1/4 of the US population is foreign born or the anchor baby born here of immigrant parents? Did you know that as of 6 years ago, "minority" children out number white children? Starting in about 15 years we will be outvoted?

Are you aware your country is becoming 3rd world as it fills with 3rd worlders? The test was here in the US with the mexicans, now it's Europe with the refugees.

It's lost without a shot fired...

The nation’s foreign-born population increased sharply between 1970 and 2000, but its rate of growth has since slowed, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data. Even so, the share of the U.S. population that is foreign born—13.1% in 2013—is approaching a historic high.

Racial and ethnic diversity have grown dramatically in the United States in the last three decades. This growth was first evident among children.

In 2014, 52 percent of U.S. children were White, non-Hispanic;
24 percent were Hispanic;
14 percent were Black, non-Hispanic;
5 percent were Asian, non-Hispanic; and
5 percent were non-Hispanic "All other races."

I don't see it that way. America is number one. If you don't see it that way, you should go somewhere else. Unlike that cretin in the White House, I do NOT apologize for the greatness of my country.

If the Dems cut off welfare you will see voter registration change to the right. Same deal. Buying votes and bribery works.

More left wing false propaganda. You are always on the wrong end of the gun argument. Liberals always assume that if we had less guns, there would be less violent deaths. So naive. All that does is put the power in the hands of the bad guy, and there is MORE crime. So naive.

Without the available guns, would Sandy Hook have happened?

Would Columbine have happened?

[Guest]

Without the available guns, would Sandy Hook have happened?

Would Columbine have happened?

Without mind altering SSRI drugs, would EITHER have happened?

Don't be so quick to surrender an essential right for the wrong reasons.

If you want to ban guns then at least use the example that best describes the "gun problem", minority gang members in the inner cities kill many thousands a year. Many are never reported, the body dumped and nobody cares or misses them outside the gang. There is where the "gun problem" really exists. Why don't you use that as your example? It doesn't "fit" your "equality" meme?

Maybe we'd all start questioning, asking..."what's REALLY wrong with these people, why do they act and live so differently than we do?". I've asked that question and my answer was...it's them, they're different. What is your answer? It's my fault? My "people" have held them down unfairly?

[Guest]

Without the available guns, would Sandy Hook have happened?

Would Columbine have happened?

Yes, it would. The areas of our country that have the strictest gun laws have the highest rate of gun related deaths. Countries such as the UK have higher knife related murders than we do, therefore it is safe to say that when they don't have guns, the substitute is also lethal. And last year the UK had anti-knife campaigns going. Then it will be bats, etc. You can't get rid of violence by getting rid of any potential weapon. You lower the chance of being a victim of violence by allowing each citizen the choice to defend themselves, and have strict enforcement of laws with strict penalties for violating those laws.

Yes, some form of Sandy Hook and Columbine would have happened.

You lower your chance the MOST by staying as far away as possible from "minorities"...that is a simple FACT. The less diverse an area, the less violent it is...that's a FACT.

Strict enforcement would mean 90% of the minority population would be locked up, that's racist. Too expensive too.

In both cases, they were on SSRI drugs.

He's probably a lonely person and feels the need for interaction with others but is too afraid of running into a minority to leave his home. I do not believe that we should all go away and allow him the satisfaction of closing down the forum any more than that one libtard that insists on immature baiting. We can still have a decent discussion if we just skip over both of their posts and continue on.

Describes liberals and those who vehemently support the "equality" meme.

Logic says I'm right. Real world experience says I'm right. Statistics say I'm right. The nightly news says I'm right. Imprisonment rates say I'm right. Welfare rates say I'm right. Education numbers say I'm right. Their violence says I'm right. Their dirtiness says I'm right. Their lack of a family says I'm right. What more do you need to convince you how different we are at basic levels?

Am I obsessed? In my desire to get you to open up your eyes and see what the promotion of equality and diversity is doing in the real world. We're literally losing "The West" to the 3rd world.

I want to know why you don't see it or you don't care.

Majority rules, those who snuck in, those who are incapable, are taking over...it's like the movie "Idiocracy"...we'll soon all be ignorant living in 3rd world conditions. I'm trying to save you from this.

You're a liberal and socialist also. Why fight with them? A libertarian is liberal and is synonymous with socialist. Look it up. Kind of like being a blind black racist. You rant and rave against your own kind until someone tells you that you are black. Kind of crushes your whole agenda, right?

I'm an independent. Some areas I'm liberal, others conservative, whatever FITS best for the situation.

Many liberals are also into equality and diversity. Many conservatives are not.

Yes, I'm a blind black racist...I'm fighting my own people trying to get them to change. If I was black I'd be on black forums trying to get everyone to get with the program. Show whitey we really ARE equal by bettering ourselves. But no, most blacks wouldn't be caught dead here having a decent discussion on the whys of racism. It's not what they do. There's a LOT that "isn't what they do". They're not like us...it's a fact.

I still ask...why don't you see the eventual destruction as they become the majority and why don't you care?

It's like a club...it starts with all members who agree and like each other. Then someone brings in "that guy", the one that is different. You want to be polite, so you don't say anything. Then, down the road he brings in HIS friend. He's different too. Then they bring in another who is different. Soon, the original members leave because they don't like the club any more.

Our club, is the US. "They" are changing it, I'm saying I don't like it, before it's too late. You should join me if you like your club the way it is/was.

Guns Germs Steel

Liberal BS. How about "The Bell Curve".

How about a stroll through the "diversified" parts of Newark, New Haven, Elizabeth, Baltimore, DC, Atlanta, Montgomery, Birmingham, Memphis...well you get the point. All mostly black...didn't see any "paradises" there...do you know of ANY?

We really are quite different people. Looks are just the surface.

We were all convinced of equality 50 years ago, they've had special treatment ever since, what happened? Why are they worse off?

With all the welfare and benefits available to them, they can make the equivalent of $60,000 a year, so WHY do they live like they do? It's STILL "our fault"? How? They get preferential treatment at work, school, the government, everywhere. Nobody will DARE to correct them in public. If they were smarter, they'd realize how good they have it.

Are you talking about Guns, Germs, Steel? I read the book. That's why I suggested "The Bell Curve" as a counter point. It teaches what I personally believe, it's genetics. EVERYTHING in the real world points to that conclusion. EVERYTHING in past history points to that conclusion.

As for your link above... It's demographics. Women and minorities have increased their percentages in universities through affirmative action and quotas. White men went from being a majority to a minority. The majors have changed from STEM to the humanities and women's/minority's studies. It's demographics.

Besides, our educators and educational system is now #17 in the world. Not the best any more.

If you read the book then you would know it does not point at genetics.
So you can't say everything points to genetics.

Everything you want to believe points to genetics.

Genetically are women and minorities predisposed to higher education?

If you read better, you'd find genetics is in MY book recommendation. They're on average 20 points lower. "I" said everything points to genetics.

Sure...affirmative action and quotas...that's why there are more women and minorities than white men. It's the ONLY reason. Only 5% of affirmative action "students" graduate. Only 25% make it past the first year. It's literally a wasted slot.

Schools are liberal because they're full of women and women are liberal. They can afford to be. When things get bad, they can marry and have a husband take care of everything. They can pop out a kid and automatically qualify for up to $60,000 a year in welfare benefits.

The only one who has to survive on his wits and struggle to survive is a white man. And we do it with the deck stacked against us. No wonder we die younger.

OK...touche, not EVERYTHING...ALMOST everything...better?

Give me examples, not ONE isolated incident...where they are the BEST. I admit they excel in sports because that is closer to their roots. They RARELY excel in intellectual or management endeavors.

Give me the black Einstein, the black Rockefeller, Hearst, JP Morgan, etc. If a black is famous, it's for doing something for blacks, rarely anything else.

You'll come back with Eli Whitney, cotton gin, did HE invent it? Doubtful. But mechanization DID end slavery, it wasn't anything else. No noble cause. Machines did 10X the work without complaining.

MLK? Malcom X, Harriet Tubman? Only blacks benefited.

There is nothing to convince a sane person that we are equal. They were "discovered" as stone age, no wheel, no written language, cave men. In Africa many still do. That's what they turn even modern housing into, shells, huts. They live in squalor everywhere they're left to their own devices.

EVERY post tells me I'm wrong and I've yet to be shown any evidence I'm wrong. A movie? REAL LIFE...show me in real life how equal they are.

You don't want to hear the truth. And you are a legend in your own mind...:D

What truth? A PBS special? Full of propaganda?

I want a real world example of blacks being better at anything besides sports. Sports is THEIR specialty, not intellectualism. Why can't you admit that? Give me examples of their greatness...

crickets

I wish I was a legend, maybe then I could get through to you. No, I just woke up a few years ago, when I retired, I had the chance to think, about different things. What I found was disturbing. Like the fact that from age 6 down THEY are the majority. You have NO IDEA what a profound, what a devastating, change is coming. No idea. Life as we knew it, will end.

Tell that to your grandchildren. Remind them of how great the good old days were...but they won't get any of that. Grandpa and Grandmas generation thought it "fair" to give the country away to those less fortunate. So they stopped having kids themselves and imported about 50 million Hispanics to do it for them. We convinced ourselves this would never happen. We thought they'd assimilate, blend right in. We didn't know they'd take over.

Oh well...sorry kid.

They've already invaded radio with half the stations spanish. They have their own TV networks and packages. Press one for spanish will soon be in spanish for an english option.
