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

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...

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*

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:

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:

Tired of ads?

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)...

Are you rich or religious fundamentalist? If not the only reason you would be a Republican would be if you were very confused.

Oh the humanity!!!

Speers, they are two of the most outstanding radio hosts out there... of course they are very right wing conservative... I am sure you have heard of Rush Limbaugh. Sean Hannity is a little less know, I listen to him every day, he has a cable show too, but I've never seen it.

You might want to check them out, and see if you agree with what they talk about before you become a republican... Cause, if you ask a republican that you will get shot!

Also, if you want someone more, uh, dynamic, check out Michael Savage. He is way more violent in attitude, but still pretty good. I don't agree with him 100% but most of his ideals are great! I just am not as passionate about politics as he is....

Register as republican or democrat. That way you can vote in their primaries.

EDIT: Even if you make a mistake and decide later that you're a democrat, registering as a republican would mean seomthing.. as opposed to registering as an independent.
