The OT at APOLYTON is like watching the Special Olympics. Certain people try so hard to debate despite their handicaps.
Baron O RIP.
I knew a Roman Catholic Singaporean. He was Eurasian, gay and very handsome.

Hrm? There are right wing libertarians. +5, -.5 is about where the right wing libertarians congregate on political compass.You didn't know he's a left-wing libertarian?
Economically I'm very much right wing. Socially, I'm only right wing here because Apolyton is so very left.

I actually got banned during my time off from a conservative site for not being right wing *enough*. So take that for what you will.

No. Good joke though.

In American politics Libertarians tend to be somewhat right wing. They may favor some ideas shared with the left vis a vis less military intervention, ending the war on drugs and weakening the surveillance and police powers of the government, but they tend to be solidly right wing on virtually every other issue.

Hitler was an environmentalist who ranted against greedy industrialists. Left wing enough for you?
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

The right wing have nothing but praise for greed of course.
We must be concerned not merely about who murdered them, but about the system, the way of life, the philosophy which produced these murderers. - Martin Luther King Jr. Eulogy for the Martyred Children (1963)
They were actually trying to just use him as a populist tool to further their nationalist conservative goals, and didn't anticipate the huge success he achieved in his first year in government. There was very little real major industrialist backing for the nazis per se, they just tried to gamble on his naiveity and lost. He had much, much more support from the farmers.
None of this alters the fact that Zevico is invariably wrong of course.
Close, they had a cult around some dude name Newt Gingrich. Who I can't *stand*. Everything has been 'praise Newt' for the last year or so.Was this hitlerworld.com or something?

They believe that all true conservatives worship at the altar of Newt. PBUH. They actually cited posts here as 'fraternization with the enemy' and proof of my status as a troll. Scout's honor.See? His story already changed.

Could that have been the thread where you openly admitted to being a troll, shortly before getting banned from here?
I doubt this. Hitler was very successful with the economy. It's hard to imagine industrialists not supporting him.They were actually trying to just use him as a populist tool to further their nationalist conservative goals, and didn't anticipate the huge success he achieved in his first year in government. There was very little real major industrialist backing for the nazis per se, they just tried to gamble on his naiveity and lost. He had much, much more support from the farmers.

Truth hurts, yessir. I said that it didn't matter what I posted, people would be in uproar about it. Poly doesn't care, so long as it's got my name attached to it. I stand by that even now. It's good to know that folks like you care so much about my opinion.Could that have been the thread where you openly admitted to being a troll, shortly before getting banned from here?
Actually, they cited posts that they believed indicated that I was soft on gay marriage.

Was Hitler an environmentalist? He was a vegetarian and loved his country home, but can anyone name anything Hitler ever did for the environment?
Oh, and when Hitler ranted about greedy industrialists the word "Jewish" was understood without having to be spoken.
"I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!
Hitler wasn't massively successful with the economy, but had some good fortune because the economy was so bad when he came to power. He was also widely regarded as a demogogue and a real danger to private property. He spent a lot of time and energy reassuring (and lying a lot) to the industrialists to try and get their support, but they were largely not nazi supporters, they just saw him as a tool they could use to overthrow democracy. They were much more supportive of Papen.
The modern sense of environmentalist didn't exist, but he was very unusual at the time for being very health conscious and rabidly anti-smoking. He didn't do anything I've heard of to particularly help the environment, but he was a big fan of more traditional living.
He actually did very little of this, because he needed the backing of the industrialists, particularly in the early years. His attacks on the Jews were in no way hidden behind other terminology he described them openly as parasites and talked in speeches of eradicating them from Germany. Sadly Germany (and most of Europe and the US in those years) was very anti-semetic and even amongst non-nazis his anti-Jewish rantings were popular.
