  • I got me a brand-new sig!!

    A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

    I'm afraid that the source for that quote is unreliable. The Voice of Destruction by Hermann Rauschning is apparently fraudulent.

    The IHR, an independent, public interest history research and publishing center, seeks to promote peace and freedom through greater awareness of the past.


    Of course, it's equally possible that Wolfgang Haenel is wrong. It's hard to tell with things like this.

    Still, it's a cool quote.
    John Brown did nothing wrong.

      Then Harry Jaffa needs to do this homework better! I can put a sidenote in my sig about the ambiguity of the quote then.

        Nah, just do an attribution:
        (quoted in Gespraeche mit Hitler, Hermann Rauschning), or whatever.

        Cool quote regardless.

          Eh - I will just stick with the paranthetical note I have in there already since I'm feeling lazy now.

            Ah well, that takes away from the accuracy and legitimacy of the quote. It's meaningless now.

              I just got an idea for a new avatar. Can someone who is great at designing avatar graphics (like Coldwizard or someone else) design a Confederate flag's background, only replacing the blue bars with white stars with a blue swatiska and white stars?

                  I may take that one Theben, but why does that flag have the upraised middle finger?

                    Probably to represent today's Confederates, which generally seems to be a bunch of careless slobs.

                      I remember in "Mother Night," where the main character sends a copy of the Gettysburg Address to Hitler. Hilter writes back [paraphrasing]: "Parts of this almost made me weep. It seems the Americans and the Germans share many core values. I'd like to quote parts of this. 0Lincoln wasn't a Jew was he? The name Abraham is very suspecious."
