“Why did the tanks roll? Because Poland refused to negotiate over Danzig, a Baltic port of 350,000 that was 95 percent German and had been taken from Germany at the Paris peace conference of 1919, in violation of Wilson’s 14 Points and his principle of self-determination.”
Riiight, and the invasions of Belgium, France, Norway and Russia had not even been contemplated by Hitler before he invaded Poland, they happened as an afterthought, I’m sure.
“Since vee haf unvaded Poland, vee might as vell take over ze rest of Europe!” Does that sound about right?
About 1/2 the folks on this forum read this article and decided for themselves: "Pat sure is an idiot"
Me, being slightly more sophisticated, if I can say so myself, put it as an either or and put to myself the following proposition: "Self," I said to myself, "Either Pat is an idiot, or that is not what he wrote."
So unlike the idiot 1/2 of knee jerkers who have got conservativism so tied in a knot around its own neck that it is hanging itself, I thought a bit more deeply about this conundrum.
I said to myself, "Self, the way I see it: 1. Pat says some outrageous things sometimes, but is is generally pretty smart. 2. Pat is a christian, if nothing else, and so I cannot believe he actually has any warm feelings for Hitler. 3. Self-styled journalistic hacks and bloggers almost always turn out to be liars."
So weighing this, and after much further deep thought I said "Self, what we ought to do is go find out what Pat actually said."
After watching American idol, drinking a couple of beers, walking the dog figuratively and literally, I sat back down and did a bit of surfing, and after a while discovered Pat's original article where he said what he said and not what some lying scumbag journalistic hack said he said.
And what I learned is that the journalist hack lying scumbag who wrote this article really is a journalistic hack lying scumbag, and while Pat says some pretty outrageous things sometimes, he is actually pretty smart and actually had a reasonable point to make about Bush's foolish guarantees to Israel.
So, before you go falling into holes dug for you by leftist lying hack jobs, why don't you read for yourself what was written. Then have a couple of beers, walk the dog, commune with your soul, before you post silly idiocy because you woke up sober at the bottom of a pit dug for you by a lying leftist scumbag.
