Why bother to honor him for anything at all? I don’t care if he was a good musician. He did evil most of his life. I don’t care if he thought it was good. He did objective evil. He urged other people to evil. And he used his talent for evil.
I see no reason to honor anything. Hitler was a talented speaker. Big deal.
This Bridge is My Bridge? This Bridge is Your Bridge?
Absolutely right. Not worth listening to.
he’s up there with Che’.......santified piece of horse manure....
the elite communists in the Soviet bloc have the best homes,vacations,health care,cars, etc...
its not about fairness nor equality....
I didn’t even know this guy’s name.
What is a president doing talking at length about a singer in the so-called State of the Union?
Hitler (y'sh"v!) is not hated for being a dictator, a war monger, or someone whose word in treaties was meaningless. All his notoriety comes from the fact that he was a "bigot." Bigotry is the supreme crime, greater even than mass murder. If Hitler had killed all those millions to achieve "social justice" rather than to eliminate "inferior non-Aryans" no liberal would have a thing to say against him. This is why the evil of Stalin, Mao, et al, are not considered on a par with that of Hitler. Hitler's equivalent (according to liberals) is Archie Bunker.
Just as "bigotry" tainted everything Hitler did and earned him classification as "evil," so all Communist dictators, because they were "against bigotry," are considered saints, regardless of what they did.
Anti-Communism is now considered just another form of intolerable reaction and "bigotry."
From Johnny Cash’s hit song “The One on the Right Was on The Left”:
“Now this should be a lesson if you plan to start a folk group
Don’t go mixin’ politics with the folk songs of our land
Just work on harmony and diction
Play your banjo well
And if you have political convictions keep them to yourself”
That’s probably how they got along. Cash probably just ignored Willie and Kris when they started talking politics.
Yeah, I don’t dismiss the artist from their craft. If they’re commie POS’ then they don’t get my money. Not directly anyway.
RE: I have often wondered how Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash were able to get along with Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. I have heard of odd couples, but they really were a strange quartet. All talented as hell but politically as different as day and night.
During our yearly thanksgiving reunion, the patriarch of our family had one rule we all should follow -— NO DISCUSSION OF POLITICS IN THE DINNER TABLE. We’ve followed it for decades and everything has been peaceful and pleasant through the years.
"The lend-lease-give program is the New Deal's triple-A foreign policy; it will plow under every fourth American boy."--Sen Burton K. Wheeler (D-Mont.), January 12, 1941Do you remember when the AAA
Refrain
Plow under, plow under, Plow under
Ever fourth American boy.
They said our agricultural
System was about to fall.
From Washington, they sent a call:
Plow the fourth one under.
Refrain
The price of cotton wouldn't rise,
They said we have to fertilize
And so on us they turn their eyes.
Plow the fourth one under.
Refrain
They said our system wouldn't work
Until we killed the surplus off,
So now they look at us and say,
Plow the fourth one under.
Refrain
Any ignorant mule does know
Better to step on a cotton row,
But there ain't no mules in Congress, so,
Plow the fourth one under.
Refrain
Now, the politicians rant,
A boy's no better than a common plant.
But we are here to say you can't
Plow the fourth one under.
Final Refrain
Plow under, don't you plow under,
Don't you plow under every fourth American boy.
Now, don't you plow under, don't you plow under,
Don't you plow under every fourth American boy.
He wrote a song praising Stalin I understand.
Loathsome.
THAT is for sure. Besides having NO TALENT Pete Seeger was a pimp.
Thank you Don Corleone.
Reading the summary of his actions around WWII vindicates my view of just commies first embraced Hitler, then why they turned against him and all “fascism”.
They have never let that go and since have called US on the opposite side “fascists”, as if they are so different from the real thing.
