It actually starts out as a tribute of soliders at the DUmp, but then I read some of the replies that follow and I just want to burn these assholes at the stake. :censored:

New photo: Nazis dig up mass grave of U.S. soldiers
Source: CNN
ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- The photograph is a jarring image that shows Nazi Party members, shovels in hand, digging up graves of American soldiers held as slaves by Nazi Germany during World War II.
While the men dig up the site, U.S. soldiers investigating war crimes stand over them. Two crosses with helmets placed atop them -- the sign of a fallen soldier -- are visible. Two Germans are knee deep in mud. Another, with a handlebar mustache, has the look of a defeated man. The bodies of 22 American soldiers were found in at least seven graves, according to the photographer.
On the back of the photo is written, "Nazi Party members digging up American bodies at Berga."
Berga an der Elster was a slave labor camp where 350 U.S. soldiers were beaten, starved, and forced to work in tunnels for the German government. The soldiers were singled out for "looking like Jews" or "sounding like Jews," or dubbed as undesirables, according to survivors. More than 100 soldiers perished at the camp or on a forced death march.
It was on this day six decades ago, April 23, 1945, when most of the slave labor camp soldiers were liberated by advancing U.S. troops. The emaciated soldiers, many weighing just 80 pounds, had been forced by Nazi commanders to march more than 150 miles before their rescue.

5. Maybe FDRs' policies of bombing the civilian populations
of Berlin and the atrocities of fire bombing Dresden put our GIs in peril. What would we have done in retaliation? Oh yeah, we nuked Japan for a few killed at Pearl harbor.
Someone said that war is hell, and I think he was a General.

21. Not true
those predictions are pure propaganda that have been sold to the American public for 60 years.
Japan was already defeated. It had no oil. Its air force was defunct. The emperor had written twice to Truman trying to surrender, but was rebuffed each time.
However, the reason for the nukes was not to punish Japan for Pearl Harbor. The nukes were meant to scare the crap out of the Soviet Union. It was a show of force.
Fear of the Soviet Union was also at the heart of the race to get to Berlin before the end of the Third Reich. We didn't want the Soviets to take all of Berlin or all of Germany. We barely made it.
And on and on. :libssuck:
Ok I need to add one more.

15. Really? Weren't all those wars of choice
and we were wrong to be involved in the 1st place? We didn't finish in Korea, S.E. Asia or anywhere else that we have stuck our noses in. We probably should have stayed out of Europe and we certainly goaded Japan into attacking us.

Hitler was , after all, a socialist like them

Beat me too it.
Stupidity of that magnitude needs some kind of punishment.

Damn, Johnny, sir, you are so good.
If I had the chance, I'd even brave the sordid heat of mid-summer to go down to South Carolina to have the privilege of meeting you in person. It might kill me, but it'd be worth it.

Why is it that liberals can not, under any circumstances detect, evil?

Jesus explained it best...
Matt. 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
IOW, if evil calls evil "evil," then they are at war against themselves. That is the liberal's delemma.

Did you ever notice how liberals and radical muslim terrorists seem to be in a screaming speed collision course towards being one and the same? They hate America, hate all that is good and right, hate Christians, hate soldiers, hate Jews, and are apologist for the Nazis. If they had a soul or a conscious they would all die of shame.

You get a H5 for that, the PERFECT description of Liberalism. (Matt. 8:44)

Stupidity of such magnitude used to be fatal, before warning labels....
