"Never forget"
yawn
Why "yawn"?
Are you too well informed on the holocaust to find this personal insight boring, yet make enough effort to comment?
Or does the story itself bore you? The thought that people could do this in an organized industrial manner?
Why "yawn"?
"yawn"
I do not understand your indifference? Are you human?
He has a history of such comments on dead Jew posts.

I don't understand your comment. What exactly are you trying to say? Can you be a bit more explicit? Are you a holocaust denier or a Nazi sympathizer?
I looked at your personal page and find that you are neither a newcomer or an apparent leftie. So I have a hard time understanding a dismissive remark regarding what happened in the German death camps.
I think windsong may be a lying troll.
Have you noticed how closely the democrat party line resembles the nazi party position on gun control, euthanasia, hatred of judaism, support of palestine...?
Nothing at all funny about these pictures, but I couldn't help a half-stifled laugh at the way Kramer is being handled by his warders. They're not taking ANY chances with him! I wonder if they were thinking "Go ahead, try to escape, make our day!"
BTTT
This needs to be reposted during the day for more widespread viewing.
I don't quite understand the "Yawn".
We must indeed never forget, but forget we have in the face of Islamofascist terror in Saudi Arabia and the Sudan.
But we should at the same time be leery of condemning all Germans.
Hitler never won an election in a free Germany. He manipulated the mechanism of Government to create a terror
state in which any criticism of him or his movement was a sentence of death.
We need look no further than the recently deceased Max Baer, German world championship boxer. When Hitler tried to get him to join the NAZI Party, he refused. Baer, a popular figure in Germany at the time, was then drafted in to the military and at Hitler's direct orders, forced into the paratroopers and sent on one of the most dangerous operations of the war, in which Baer, fortunately survived.
Or Rommel. Handed orders by the madman from Austria to kill all allied troops in North Africa before evacuating to Germany, he burned the orders and deliberately ignored them. Correcly implicated in a plot to kill the lunatic Austrian corporal, he was ordered to commit suicide or see his family punished for his actions.
Nor should we forget those few Germans who also aided the Jews - men like Schindler.
The point here is we should never be so naive as to assume what happened in Germany could never occur anywhere else, that it a unique German disorder. It is difficult for Americans today to understand what it is like to live under a madman and his depraved henchmen when you cannot organize, resist or arm yourself.
It could happen here. The targets may not be Jews - they may just be fellow Americans - but the tactics will be the same - the illegal usurpation of public power and control by a demogogue or band of demagogues. And I view our activist courts as potential agents of a similar circumstance.

Anyone who has such a response to such a story is human debris.
He wasn't going to go very far with that chain around his ankles.
