General Discussion / Nazis and Commies
« Last post by SSG Snuggle Bunny on Today at 09:20:11 AM »
I've been going through William L. Shirer's. "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" looking for a passage about how the judges of the day refused to allow meaningful prosecution of the Nazis.

While searching online for additional clues, I stumbled upon a different book: "Weimar Radicals: Nazis and Communists between Authenticity and Performance" by Timothy Scott Brown.

On page 136 he writes that Rudolf Diels, the first head of the SS estimated that 70% of the Brownshirts were former Communists.

This MAGAt (how pathetic are DUpipo when they can't even spell their own juvenile nickname for people they hate correctly?!):

* Has worked among speakers of Vietnamese, Spanish, Mandarin, Tagalog, and Cantonese for some 45 years;

* Has attended, for over 17 years, a church that at various times has had black, Hispanic, Iranian, Indian, Korean, Assyrian, and Taiwanese (that I can remember) leaders and pastors; the current executive pastor, of several years, is Korean;

* Our previous church of nearly 20 years had black, Hispanic, and Taiwanese pastoral staff, and hosted (with the pastor being on staff) an Amharic-speaking church;

* Supported his munchkins' travels to non-touristy parts of Fiji, Cambodia, Thailand, Egypt, South Sudan, India, and China; in the latter, the pertinent munchkin spent several years learning Mandarin and earned the Chinese equivalent of a Liberal Arts degree in a Chinese university (all classes in Mandarin).

Oh, yeah, I'm so-o-o-oooooooo racist, DU onlurkers ... and I am not unique among fellow Cave-People, other than some specifics.

In my 55+ years, I've never had a single person mention Thom Hartmann's name in real life. Only at the DUmp and our responses.
 :mental:

Ditto. First heard of him from rowed-over DU threads. I don't wander around in Prog circles, but some names I do recognize. Hartmann may not be the most prominent of Prog prattlers.

There is a progression. I think, from:

* I don't think that happens, to

* That's just an outlying crazy, to

* Some do that but that isn't my friends, to

* Oh, crap, I'm in the sane minority, to

* I can't be that, to

* Leaving and letting family, friends, and acquaintances know of the change of heart.

The stages don't have solid boundaries, and progressing from one stage to the next takes time and thought. There is significant reluctance, I think, to move to recognition of being in the "sane minority". It's uncomfortably close to admitting, "I've been wrong."

At the hair salon



Wife goes to salon, I find cheap barber shop, however, I had become very shaggy so took her to her appointment and she asked her hairdresser to clean me up.

Sitting in the chair making small talk I pointed out to hairdresser that Trump is as bald as l am so what does he do to cover his head? She went on about growing it very long, comb it over, use lots of hair spray, have to repair it a few times a day.

Then she launched on Trump “HE’S AS PHONY AS HIS COMBOVER . . . “ she proceeded to turn the air blue swearing at Trump!!! And all dozen or so people in the place cheered her — “Right on , sister, right on!!”

It was a great day!! Gave her a BIG tip!

A dozen people cheered????? Something else that NEVER happened.

Must have made moonbats look bad, i.e. shown their true colors.

17. Oh my...are MAGOTS good with another brownie coming into the World?

You just can't get past the race thing, can you? I've never met a "MAGGOT"  so preoccupied with race. But, I understand your need to categorize. Is that part of what makes you feel special?

It embodies everything DUmmies hate: A happy heterosexual couple having a baby.
