After many years on these threads, I fully comprehend the other side. I simply reject it. And at the risk of invoking Godwin's law, I also comprehend Nazi Germany and the socio-political and economic forces that led to the rise of Hitler and the Holocaust, but I still think I'm allowed to call it hideous without being accused of being too emotional.
Anyone can make any accusation they feeeeeeeeel like making but considering the Liberal Projection™ of the accuser it is simply laughable.
How contemporary of you. It's easy to "reject" the other side when it is the popular thing to do. It doesn't seem convincing that you just happened to analyze the entire subject, and come down with a position that is popular now, but wasn't even popular in the North at the time.
And at the risk of invoking Godwin's law, I also comprehend Nazi Germany and the socio-political and economic forces that led to the rise of Hitler and the Holocaust, but I still think I'm allowed to call it hideous without being accused of being too emotional.
So Imagine a history of World War II where our government was willing to sign a peace treaty with Hitler that would allow him to continue persecuting the Jews so long as he stopped fighting them.
Would that be hideous, or would that be okay? What would you say of government that would agree to such a thing?
