After the election of Obama, I felt like a Jew after Hitler was elected. Knowing what’s coming, even thought no new laws have been instituted.
I am not however going to wait until I’m in the boxcar to try to escape.
Good historical article but...who exactly are we supposedly appeasing now?
The question isn’t whether BHO will appease our enemies. The question is whether BHO is one of them. Has anyone bothered to do a genealogical chart or obtain a legitimate birth certificate?
We as whites have appeased the black community one demand after another. Just recently be made the biggest concession: the power over our country, everyone in it.
So yes, I would say that it’s going to be at a high cost that we get rid of Obama.
I don't think we have a Churchill.
Well, we do have a Palin.
You make a good point, our country needs one.
On a visit to the Czech Republic in 2007, my brother took me to see some of the areas which were fortified in preparation for German attack. I was very impressed with how much remained after so many years. This little nation was prepared to fight. My father has told me many times how upset he and his peers were when they were told to stand down.
Thank you for your post. It is good your parents were able to escape but very sad that they had to.
The majority of our population now have no idea what the first half of the last century was like.
I really wish Duncan Hunter were heading for the White House. He’s as close to Churchill as we’re going to come. I mean, I like Gov. Palin as much as anyone, but it’s asking a lot to see her as Churchill or Thatcher.
I agree...It’s not that Gov. Palin couldn’t become a Churchill because I believe she could after time but Duncan Hunter already is as close as anyone could be to him.
A small news source with a long-loved history in Philadelphia. Back when Philadelphia was a three-newspaper town, the evening Philadelphia Bulletin was the largest-circulation daily with its own building near the main post office and the Penn Station major train terminal. The morning Philadelphia Inquirer and the afternoon tabloid Philadelphia Daily News were jointly owned by Walter Annenberg until '69, then sold to Knight Ridder, and became a big liberal mess. The Bulletin declined out of business in 1982. The Inquirer had not always been left-leaning; at one time it was known as "the Republican Bible", and just lately it has had a Republican editor, Brian P. Tierney, who is trying to bring the Inky back off the edge of extinction, but Philadelphia has long been a union-heavy Democrat stronghold, with its large population of working-class ethnics of many kinds, and non-working persons of color.
Herb Denenberg had been Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner, Pennsylvania Public Utility Commissioner, and Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and for many years had a pro-consumer radio broadcast about insurance and consumer matters. He is someone whom you would expect to be a Democrat; perhaps he has been registered Dem (he is probably a little older than Ed Rendell, the Dem Governor of PA and former Mayor and DA of Philly, and like Rendell, Denenberg is Jewish). But his stunning biography indicates a brilliant and independent mind -- almost a modern-day Benjamin Franklin. Perhaps the fate of Israel has informed his ardent editorials like the one above. Whatever the case, he is a mensch who has been loved in PA for a long time. Here is his web site: The Denenberg Report
Pinging Kid Shelleen — would your Delaware valley ping list be interested in this Herb Denenberg article?
ping!
Actually, it's the author whose ignorance of history is showing.
The Sudetenland had been part of the (mostly) German Holy Roman Empire for many centuries. After it collapsed, it was part of the German Confederation from 1815 to 1866, which included essentially all German lands and some which were inhabited mostly by non-Germans.
The Sudetenland stopped being part of "Germany" only when the German Confederation collapsed in 1866 and Germany was reconstituted as the "North German Confederation," followed by the German Empire in 1871.
In any case, Hitler's (not completely unreasonable) claim was that the Sudeten was part of Germany because mostly Germans lived there. This claim was one of self-determination of national groups and had been considered just and proper when made by Italians, Yugoslavs, Poles and others.
If the same principle was to be applied as in these cases, the Sudeten Germans had just as much right to self-determination as the Poles or Italians. Which mostly goes to show the flaws of stretching a principle too far.
Thanks for posting some history on The Bulletin and Herb Denenberg, AW.
A couple of FReepers have commented about remembering The Bulletin and Herb from years back and I do recall one saying he used to be a Dem. I guess he’s just too intelligent to have remained one. :)
1. Saar not Sahr.
2. It was not ceded to France, it was occupied and administered by France while legally remaining part of Germany.
3. The area is rich in coal, not oil.
Too many factual errors in this one for me.
Yeah, that’s what I wondered, too. Every time some crackpot dictator is in our bad graces, he suddenly becomes a cross between Hitler and Satan. Can we have a little sanity, please? Not every one of these losers is in a position to seriously threaten our country.
Right now, we ought to be looking at the drug mafia on our border. They pose more of a threat to our country than some nut on the other side of the world. Our first move should be to stop bringing a bunch of Muslims into our country and having porous borders. Just a thought...
Our enemy is within....how do you negotiate with THAT!!???
