Should I become a Republican?

Ehhh... My argument was that some nazis get 'god reputation' because they were efficent, and Albert Speer is an example, in my humble opinion. Of course, I know that there are differences, and that some nazis were heavily involved in killing jews and other peoples, and that some nazis were not so involved (and that even could have been a few low-level nazis that ignore what were happening or the scale of the things). Albert Speer, I'm pretty sure, knew what was happening.

John Rabe, of course, reserves a better reputation that Himmler, but not based on how efficient he was, but because the comparisions of Rabe's deeds against Himmler's deeds.

I hope that my bad english could be understable

so should I join the ranks of the Republican party? when I posted at Newsmax, they called me a liberal intellectual and a satanist and some people here have said that I'd scare a typical Republican... but otherwise, Republican right? thats what I should be?

And what are the other Americans? Are the libertarians registered republicans or did they check Other?


thanks

You should form the Black America party with one aim: to ameliorate the conditions of poor counties and neighborhoods in the US.

The title, is just an example, everyone who cares about the party's goals should of course be welcomed.

You should keep preaching the goals of your party. You don't want to rule, or to care about foreign policies etc but about ameliorating the conditions of such provinces.


Logically you should get around 30 millions of votes.

That is enough to make your party the decisive political power to decide which of the other major two political parties should get to power. (= with which one you'll side and form the coalition government)


This will increase your leverage to pass lot of bills that your party wants to promote its goals.


Good luck

My suspicion years ago was that the holocaust was so media-tised or whatever... I mean 4-6 million is the official historian guess but 6 million (the highest estimate) is what the text books say... also other genocides were not so media-tised...

And how is any of this holocaust denial?

Uh, the part about questioning whether any were killed when it's a virtually universally accepted fact for those other than holocaust-deniers, or those simply unaware of anything about modern history*

* to deflect in advance your semantic duckout by citing two year old Peruvian toddlers in support of the notion that non-holocaust deniers wouldn't necessarily know the truth either.

What the hell relevance is this? Are atrocities in competition now?

Only when you want to deny the magnitude of some of them.

I know someone who wants to do something like that... he wants to be a rapper and wants to basically put his platform (which is fairly conservative as far as i can tell) onto his songs... if he ever gets a record deal, he hopes to influence people and then start up a party. says he'll be the only candidate who'll go right into the heart of the inner city and ask people straight up, will you vote for this party... interesting idea but i think you can do more within an established party

"BD:

Psalm 82 (sorry I dont have my bible availible right now) also basically says that people are as God and are able to pass judgement as a result..."

Don't take one quote out of context from the Bible and use that as your entire basis of belief. Evidence that we are all sinners can be seen throughout the bible. If we were divine, Christ would never have needed to die on the cross for our sins.

As for what Psalm 82 actually means, check here:

Being a member of the nazi party does not make one instantly an SS man. People should be judged solely by their acts and statements, not by "aprty affiliation" (something the SS boys were fond of doing)

Speer certainly deserved prison time for knowingly using slave laborers, and he spent time in prison. pehrpas not as much time as some here would like, but still, he did time, and he did repent.

I know plenty of people who used slaves that never went to prison. Their ancestors live all over this country.

BD:

The Nation of Islam takes the same psalm and uses it to prove the divinity of man... the bible can be interpreted various ways which is all the more reason why it should not be the basis of morality...

according to the bible, giving out loans in a sin... drug use is not (you could go and call it gluttony or whatever but still)...

So you're 15 now?

Yeah, you've got a couple more decade of being young and foolish, but you don't get any slack for it.
