[Rockin Robbins]

Fahrenbohn, what kind of kool-aid are you drinking? Hitler was not "reasonable." He outright killed millions of his own countrymen for a hobby. His non-aggression pact with Russia was a transparent ploy to hold them at arms length until he was ready to attack them.

He was a psychopathic madman, a traitor to his own country, a ruthless killer of those who would have been his chief support, a man so stupid that he made not one fatal mistake (our peronal quota), but dozens of mistakes that absolutely guaranteed his complete defeat and the destruction of the nation he pretended to lead.

In fact, Germany was only a pawn in a game to make Hitler a "big man." He didn't give a rat's patootie whether Germany lived or died. In fact he sentenced the entire nation to death at the end and only the purposeful failure of better men to execute Hitler's suicidal orders kept it from happening.

His was a fantasy world of Valhalla and all kinds of mythological mumbo jumbo where he was a foolish, psychopathic, murderous and self-crucifying god. He was an idiot. He richly deserved to die as horribly as possible. Hiding in a hole and being the instrument of his own destruction was pretty appropriate. Wish the Russians had got hold of him though. They would have known what to do with a petty criminal.

It is only because they were defeated by better nations that instead of ceasing to exist as a nation and becoming the just spoils of conquest, as would have happened to his enemies if Hitler had won, the United States and allies at great expense rebuilt Germany, set her up on her own two legs and walked away to let her become a 100% legitimate citizen of the nations of the world. Germany is a better country today because she lost World War II.

And yet there are those here in this forum who fantacize about the glorious times when German citizens were put in cages to be worked to death, and if that didn't work, to be shot or gassed, their gold teeth extracted, their jewelry collected, cataloged and warehoused, their property confiscated all by a man with Jewish ancestry: Hitler. These were the very same Jews who stood steadfastly behind Germany in the first world war and contributed finances toward that effort far out of size to their numbers, the very people who would have been important support in the war. But all leaders must have a hobby, don't they? Surely this is reasonable conduct for a great leader. I have some very dry land in the Florida Everglades I'll let you buy for a very low price.

Hitler was the embodiment of evil. There was no love in that man. He made no agreements he was bound to keep. Everything was about himself and everything else was expendable. He was most evil for the nation he pretended to lead, guard and love. Failure to see that fact is evidence that the cognitive abilities of his apologists do not deserve the respect of debate or even a civil greeting. Engaging in any manner of conversation with these morally bankrupt aplogists is inappropriate and useless. They can only be repudiated.
