		<description>&lt;em&gt;I would think liberals in America would keep that in mind, but we seem to have forgotten this historical fact. 

Comment by Bluedog49 â€” July 12, 2006 @ 2:58 pm &lt;/em&gt;

Just as much as US and Great Britain looking with good eyes the rise of Hitler because, they thought, Nazis will pose a threat to Russian communism. Ever wonder why took so long to US getting involved in WWII? Ever wonder why Great Britain and US send troops to Berlin once it was already seized by russians? mmmm...makes you wonder. Lets not forget about that either.</description>

		<description>Whenever anyone compares the Israelies to nazis, I like to point out that the Grand Mufti of Palestine and his followers issued many public statements in the 30â€™s and 40â€™s strongly supporting the Naziâ€™s â€œfinal solution.â€ I would think liberals in America would keep that in mind, but we seem to have forgotten this historical fact.

		<description>#47-purvis,
For you to arrive at such a conclusion would mean that you have read nothing that I have ever written.  Though you are entitled to your own opinions, however asinine they may seem.

May peace be with us all.</description>

		<description>#42-purvis,
There is no doubt here, from what I can see, as to what criminals got you into this horrific situation.

What is most bizarre, and disturbing, is that you are sitting around waiting for that same gang of evil-doers to get you out of it.

So, from a historical perspective, who is the bigger fool?  The fool who leads, or the fool who follows the fool?  Ponder that one.</description>

		<description>Destroy the DLC, I always kind of defined Amerikans in much the same way as Afrikans.

Amerikan: A false American, also sometimes called  a Murkan, a patriot not to the ideals, practices or people of America, but to the leadership of America. A person who chooses to vote based on party allegiance or &quot;Values&quot; while ignoring party corruption or the central issues being argued out by both parties. An Amerikan will wax lyrical about the American flag, while ignoring abuses of the American constitution, will speak of a threat to their &quot;Way of life&quot; while disregarding everything that made that way of life possible. 

Thus, I don&#039;t hold Madashell as being an Amerikan.

Afrikan: At heart, a revolutionary without brains, Afrikans will fight for the sake of some old grudge or some popular figure, without first figuring out what the heck it is they are fighting for, or what their combat is actually supposed to achieve. An Afrikan will support his leadership to the death, even when that leadership is in fact, highly corrupt and about as moral as a pedophile in a sunday school. Afrikans aren&#039;t exactly bad people, they are just really stupid. 

I&#039;m not entirely sure where the heck I fall on this one though.</description>
