Am I Apolyton's Only Conservative?

[monkspider]

Albert Speer was actually a pretty nice guy, as far as Nazis go at least, wasn't he?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yeah, compared to the others in the Nazi higher up, he wasn't all that bad (though that doesn't mean he was all that good either).

[Guynemer]

Yeah, he only participated in crimes against humanity a little bit; it wasn't like it was his whole life or anything.

Well I suppose he was. He merely endorsed, participated in, and encouraged the use of slavery on an industrial scale which saw thousands of people worked to death in a handful of years. His grand schemes for Berlin were based on the assumption of using the same methods- massive use of slave labour.

His Nuremburg defence was that he didn't know about the Holocaust, even though he should have done. Interviewed for "The World at War" in 1972, he admitted this was untrue- he said he had deliberately closed his mind to it. In other words, he stuck his fingers in his ears and went "La, la, la, la, la, la I can't hear you!".

He was clever. Clever enough to get of being hung by lying. Now ask yourself- what makes anyone adopt the name of this bastard?

[Guynemer]

I'm gonna take a stab at that question, Bugs, and guess, "he's a little turd who desperately wants attention any way he can get it."

Albert Speer is about as high up you can go in the Nazi heirarchy with people still finding it relatively acceptable as a username adopted from a historical figure. Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Goebbels, Hess, Eichman, etc. are too infamous. At least Albert Speer has a reputation as being the "Good Nazi" or at least the most talented in science and engineering, not some rabble rouser like Hitler or Goebbels nor a simple warrior like Himmler or Goering. Albert Speer was the intelligent, not as known Nazi.

And I love you too, GP...

So, Albert Speer, what you mean by conservative is being a Nazi!

I don't think many of us here are Nazi's.

Ned:

Nazi... conservative... same difference. One is just associated with different things from conservatives, chiefly racism, of which I have no part in.

(and before anyone remarks that Nazis were authouritarian and conservatives are not... The KKK is nazi and is also vehemently state's rightists)

though I repeat... I am not racist nor any of the other such things. If I was, I would've been banned by now, but aside from recent problems with MtG, I have always been a model apolytoner


thanks

Since you're here again, Albert, please tell me, when have I ever been anything but a libertarian? I've never been a conservative by YOUR definition of the word

[DarkCloud]

Albert- you have me if you want
Although you'll disown me since I am a true centrist
although, not in the way you would think... All my face beliefs are republican, but I concede on every minor point to democrats

In the terms of political philosophy, I am a true psychotic. The x's represent my views. I am only a centrist because I hold the most radical views of either party

Come on over and prove it. You little lost leather jacket momma's boy.

[KrazyHorse]

Been drinkin' again?

[TCO]

Yes. I was going to tell the little coward to suck my crank, but I'm just toasty not sloshed...
