The Hitler/Stalin pact returns with Pat doing the Hitler side and quirky Leftist Michael Lind of the Nation being the Stalin side.
The difference is from 1939 is that this time the Left -- the Stalin side -- is being more rationally caculating, while the Nazi side is just based on irrational hatred of dem Joos.
Back in 1939, it was the Nazis who were rational and caculating in getting a very beneficial relationship with the Soviet Union while Stalin was emotionally enamored with Hitler and the might of the German people.
As Stalin said during the signing of the Molotov/Ribbinitropp non agression pact (which allowed Hitler to attack Poland), "I know how much the German people loves their Fuehrer; therefore, I drink to his health."
I voted for PJB in '92 and '96--back when he was a conservative. I'm not sure what happened to him. Either senility or thirst for power. He traded principle for the spotlight and a chance, (very slim one with that ultraleftist VP), to get elected--and he was condemning Reagan when he was in office on how much of a leftist he was. Glad PJB is permanently sidelined...
