Rest home for the wicked (Canada allows many ex-Nazis living in the country to live in "peace")

I'm a Canadian and I say fire away. I have no love for my the majority of my compatriots. They are useful idiots if they are condemning for Australia for actually defending itself.

Canada, Nazis, IslamoFascists

It all seems to fit.

[Lessingham]

So people who, from their air-planes, machine-gunned civilians fleeing to river during the fire-storm at Dresden should go free? Should a Vietnam vet Senator from Nebraska go free? Should the people who dropped the A-Bomb go free? Were all these evil people or not?

The Allied cause was just. But, as hard as it is to imagine, many people on the other side thought theirs was, too.

Going after Nazi war criminals at this stage of the game gives vindictiveness a rather bad name.

[D.P.Roberts]

Wow. I hope you never say the Lord's Prayer.

[Snowyman]

If you take the trouble to read today's papers you will find Canucks criticising the Australian Government for adopting anti-terrorism laws.

Well why don't you post some links and we'll all see and read for ourselves.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "The Great White Waste of Time," the cover story from the latest issue (dated today) of the Weekly Standard, an unabashedly American conservative publication.

In the piece, writer Matt Labash cuts right to the chase, saying he regards Canada "as most Americans do, as North America's attic, a mildewy recess that adds little value to the house, but serves as excellent dead space for stashing Nazi war criminals, drawing-room socialists and hockey goons."

Labash has already experienced a milder form of anti-Americanism (just a mroe potent form of American leftism) out west in British Columbia. If he goes to Ontario's population centres, this is the soul of English Canadian anti-Americanism, he is bound to experience a double amount of smugism added with High Tory snobbery.

Loser inept Canada can kiss my royal American ass.

I was going to post a lengthy explanation, but upon review I will simply second post #28.

I hear you loud and clear, friend. I'm very much an Old Testament type of fellow myself. And I believe that in many cases, we should forgive. But there is more to justice than moving on, or moving some money around. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life was not included in the Good Book for no reason.

[Sam Gamgee]

Well there are some like me that differentiate between vengence and justice.

[Wolfie]

Maybe they're starting a nuclear weapons program.

[Sam Gamgee]

What are you judging me? Get that 2 X 4 out of your eye, bub.

Christ never meant forgiveness to be a license to commit crime. We can forgive someone who murders our family, but it doesn't mean they should not face justice.

[Sam Gamgee]

The link didn't work, but I have been considering subscribing to the Weekly Standard.

[Sam Gamgee]

It's not just that. The rule of law is fundamental to any truly free society. Without it we become Mexico. So we are to forgive on a personal level. But we still need a secular institution to exact justice. Not to rehabilitate. But to punish. We can see what the absence of punishment can bring. Consider the sentences that have been handed out lately to CEOs who looted their shareholders. This jail time will make the next gang of would-be crooks think twice.

[rahbert]

Col Tibbets and his colleagues were not evil.

The camp guards hiding in Canada, on the other
hand, were and are.

Judge the rest on an individual basis, and if cause
exists, bring charges. Good luck finding witnesses to
testify.

[thoughtomator]

Sorry there's a quote embedded in it. Here's a better link (tested even!).

[Revolting cat!]

Communism in Europe is only 15 years behind us, and yet we never, NEVER (I shout), hear about the Communist murderers, but Nazis? Comrade, we will be hearing about Nazi war criminals hiding somewhere out there 50 years from now. Ah, but Communists meant well, didn't they?

[steve-b]

There was a case years back of a known Nazi criminal who was facing deportation. His Church stood up for him.

Which church was that? The Church of Satan?

(I take that back. It's unfair to Satanists.)
