I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz.
We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.
The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.
And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.
They have turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.
Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.
And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.
We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.
What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.
PROPOSED Constitutional Amendment to avoid encountering this situation in the USA:
Somehow I doubt that Spain would have that many Jews if there had been no Holocaust. Europe really died 30 years earlier in WW1. The bravest of the French and Germans and Italians are killed because they were obsessed with revenge for lost wars and such. WW2 just finished off those who remained.
They were licensed firearm dealers. Why not refer to their "large cache" with the term normally used to refer to dealer's stocks of weapons: "inventory"?
They just get dumber and dumber.
Driving Islam underground is not a solution. What it needs is sunlight and exposure. The war is coming--let people see the enemy.

A few facts wouldn't go astray here:
The Expulsion
In 1492 Granada surrendered to Ferdinand and Isabella, the new Spanish Monarchs. One of the conditions of surrender was that the status and rights of the Jews should be respected but this agreement was broken and the Jews expelled. Not only that but in 1492 all of the Jews were expelled from Spain. Altogether possibly more than 200,000 Jews were exiled. About 100,000 of the exiled Spanish Jews then went to Portugal from which they were expelled in 1496-97 after their children had been taken away from them. The expulsion from Spain was accompanied by great hardship. Those who were expelled lost most of their possessions and many of them were later robbed, raped, and sold into slavery or murdered in the course of their enforced wanderings. Great names of Spanish Jewry included some of the greatest and most original thinkers that have ever existed. Some of them were veritable geniuses, and truly holy men. They included writers of religious and philosophical works whose written word is often the best possible expression of literacy known to the annals of humanity. A very small sampling of luminaries of Spanish Jewry include names such as Alfasi, Yehudah HaLevi, Iben Ezra, Maimonides, Solomon Iben Gabirol, Kimchi, Ibn Tibbon, Iben Gikatilla, Abudarham, Albo, Crescas, Nachmanides...

Agreed... with some reservations (which aren't too different than things going on today)...
France resisted the Nazi's.
France (and England) refused to live up to their obligations from the Treaty of Versailles, and allowed Germany to rearm and move their military into the Rhineland, annex the parts of Austria and the Sudetenland, and pretty much take over Czechoslovakia. In response, France and England signed a treaty to protect Poland from invasion. When NAZI Germany invaded Poland, they did nothing. Granted, that was what popular public opinion throughout Europe wanted. They remembered WWI, and the horrors it unleashed. So, the people of Europe wanted peace, no matter what the cost.
Russia was Nazi Germany's enemy.
Only after Germany attacked in 1941, although if you count Hitler's hatred for communists, and the NAZI Brownshirts' attacks on communists during Hitler's rise to power. Remember, that NAZI Germany and the USSR signed a non-aggression pact, agreeing to split up Poland after the NAZI invasion. Interestingly enough, American leftists opposed American intervention in the war until the USSR was attacked.
The only group of people who bare the blame are the Nazi's. They didn't commit the holocaust by mistake. it was their intention to murder all Jews.
Agreed. However, while for the most part, they were not directly responsible for the deaths, I also blame the people of Europe for allowing these things to come to pass. For the NAZIs to take power and expand their power throughout Europe. For wanting peace above all else. Effectively feeding the neighbors to the alligators, hoping that the alligator would be full before their turn. Or that they'd be the last eaten.
Of course, we're seeing exactly the same sort of thing today, throughout Europe, and the US, especially in the US Congress.

Postmodernism and the preoccupation with sex also did an incredible amount of damage. One of the interesting things is that the more preoccupied a culture becomes with sex, the fewer children they have. They abort, or use birth control, and sex is recreation, not procreation. Ultimately, the Post-Modernists believe in nothing. This is Europe's primary problem, now. They don't believe in anything, and don't even have the energy to reproduce.
Whenever I think of Europe and Post-Modernism, I think of Andy Warhol(yes, I know he's from New York). Jaded and bored, he indulged in everything, simply looking for a new sensation. European "art" now frequently has "installations", which are simply trash thrown in a room. There have been several incidents where janitors have come into the modern museums in Europe and cleaned up the exhibit, thinking someone had just thrown trash into the room. I wonder if Europe will even protest much as the Muslims destroy them. Art reflects a culture. Much of European culture today is simply staring into the abyss, seeing nothing worth saving or caring about. They like their little pleasures, but not enough to defend them. There's nothing worth living for or dying for, just points of view. They jail people for hate speech, because it puts off the day of reckoning with the Muslims, but they won't fight. Today, much of France's military is muslim, and there's a real possibility of a civil war within the military if they try to put down the insurrections.
Can't argue with you on most of what you say.
Many don't even reconize there's a hurdle.
This is 100% true.
The most offensive aspect of radical Islam is its refusal to recognize freedom of speech or religion. The proposal I excerpted did exactly the same. Using your Nazi analogy, it would be like gassing a few million people of German descent to battle Hitler.
If you want to give up the fight to persuade people not to choose Islam by imposing your own religious and speech restrictions, youve lost your way. After Islam, whats next? Liberalism? Atheism? Oh, you might not think so now, but just wait for the next rationalization for expanding prosecution of thought crimes. The only difference between Islamism and what that amendment would lead to is who started it.

And your proof of that assertion is what?
I've watched the Waco hearings. The BATF's conduct in the February raid was so reckless that the Davidians could have slaughtered them if they'd been so inclined. Indeed, I found it puzzling that when the agents talked about how they fired through walls at "Davidians" who were firing at them through walls, nobody at the hearing asked how the BATF knew they weren't shooting at each other.
