You had to know if you lived long enough, you see the democrats try to rehabilitate Hitler’s image...

Says the left: “Poor Hitler, he was just misunderstood...why no, we aren’t copyin hid exact policies and behavior....”

"the ancillary claim that Jews could have stopped the Holocaust with more guns doesn’t make any sense at all if you think about it for more than a minute."

Actually it sounds to me like an argument for reducing restrictions on private weapons ownership, and ensuring that a large percentage of the civilian population is armed and trained in resistance tactics.

That and more solid intelligence about what the government planned, which suggests requiring more citizen access to government information and a more unbiased media, may well have changed the course of history in Europe.

The really poor aspect if the argument is that no one, him included probably, wants Naziesque policing (if we don’t have it already) or public works (when not made in the interest of football). Okay, maybe the highways. But have you eve seen models for future cities of the Thousand Year Reich? They make Egyptians appear modest in comparison.

There’s a reason when we complain about cops we refer to “gestapo tactics” and “jackbooted thugs.” What the author should’ve asked was should we drop compulsory education, animal rights, or something else both Hitler and most Americans believe in, just because they existed in Nazi Germany. He’s a bad writer is what I’m saying.

Does the fact that Nazis forced Jews into horrendous ghettos indict urban planning?

Yes. Agenda 21

It means something to me, of course, though I wouldn’t say Obama is responsible persay.

You obviously didn't read the article then.

“You obviously didn’t read the article the”

What article? The one this thread is about doesn’t touch upon that topic, except to vaguely reference urban planning.

The article I linked to in post #10 which addressed urban planning and 0bama’s role in it.

Call it the “Hitler gun-control lie” lie.

“Apparently it’s possible to attain almost any scholastic degree without even a small child’s understanding of cause and effect. All phenomena are entirely isolated events. You may have knocked that glass over but that has nothing to do with the water on the floor. “

I believe they call this post-modernism.

“As for Stalin,” Bartov continued, “the very idea of either gun control or the freedom to bear arms would have been absurd to him.

I don't know if this Bartov putz is dishonest or just ignorant but the Soviets were more than just Stalin and they DID demand their citizens turn-in their weapons.

This is the same nonesense from the Left when they claimed that Israeli teachers aren’t armed because of school shootings but they are and Israel classes school shootings as terrorism.

They tried to claim this was false when it is fact.

It is also a fact that Hitler was for gun control, he took them from the Jews, tightening the law and making it virtually impossible to get a firearm unless you were a Nazi Party elite. There were “fit and proper” persons tests under the 1938 law.

Now that you mention it, urban planners are some of the most Lefty, totalitarian dreamers I know. So, yes, it does.

I think it DOES indict urban planning. Oh yeah, idiot libs think it worked. Of course, “they” never go into those areas and instead hide in their gated, guarded communities.

The Obamabots have to rewrite history; and, of course, THEY’RE going to be THE ELITES in the 40 yr. reign of the Obamanists. They’re, after all, the INTELLIGENTSIA and the Obama Administration “wouldn’t” do anything to THEM, because they’ve been such good little soldiers in the thrust to destroy that “evillll” Constitution. THIS TIME, with them in charge, SOCIALISM IS GOING TO TRIUMPH!!

Yes, to both. I hear a lot of nutty things from liberals on a regular basis, but this guy decided to write it down and publish it to the World Wide Web. What a nutter.
