[Servant of the Nine]

Americans may have a Germanic temperment, but very few would even recognize the "Horst Wessel Lied" much less be able to sing it.

It is important to remember that at the time most "Germans" immigrated to America, there was no Germany. There were instead over 200 sovereign principalities, each with a distinct culture and attitude. All that held them together was a common language, and Americans of German descent have largely given that up.

The threatening "Prussian" character of Germany in the last 150 years is a product of Otto von Bismark and did not appear till long after our ancestors had left.

Die Fahne hoch
Die Reihen fest geschlosssen
SA marchier'n
Mit ruhig festem Schritt
Kameraden, die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen
Marchier'n im Geist in unseren Reihen mit...

Spooky as hell when you see the end of "Triumph of the Will".

If this guys a lib he's treading on thin ice with this whole racial memory, superior traits thing. This is the kind of stuff that the left typically ascribes to full-fledged goose-stepping, cross burning, swastika waving Neo-Nazis / Neo-Conservatives. Dangerous ground indeed for a liberal.

I resemble that remark, to quote the great philosopher "Curly".;{)

Also I doubt there are any "pure" German people in the US, anyone with German blood has plenty of other blood and has no German identity, it's just a big part of the famous melting pot.

Don't confuse him even more.
