    John Kerry: Neville Chamberlain History Repeats?

    Neville Chamberlain, for all his faults, was a serious politician. More than I can say for Secretary Kerry. And in the end Neville Chamberlain stood up to Nazi-Germany.

    Would You Support Legislation that Would Ban Burning/Destroying the Quran?

    Yes, it's not like jihadi terrorists would ever think of attacking the US at home, right?

    Which US Wars Were Justifiable?

    I would say pretty much all of them were justifiable, with the possible exception of the Spanish-American war and the South's secession.

    Your thoughts about Chile's Pinochet, 40 years after the coup.

    You denied that he had concentration camps and a repressive regime and you deny that he is anti-democratic (opposition parties are banned in Cuba). You are the equivalent of a holocaust denier.

    Would You Support Legislation that Would Ban Burning/Destroying the Quran?

    You are completely missing the point about our essential freedoms. Do you feel that everything should be discouraged which you feel doesn't do any good?

    Would You Support Legislation that Would Ban Burning/Destroying the Quran?

    I'm sorry, but you are advocating caving in to people who hate everything about our Western values and society and who will continue to kill Western soldiers (and others) until they have eradicated us. The idea you can somehow appease them is ludicrous.

    Would You Support Legislation that Would Ban Burning/Destroying the Quran?

    In their eyes and in those of their sympathizers Western aid, missionaries, vaccination campaigns, etc. are every bit as outrageous and unacceptable as burning the koran.

    Germany officially elected Queen Angela I in a landslide-- FDP and anti-Euros out

    The DDR was, like Nazi-Germany, a totalitarian dictatorship and an extremely repressive regime. I am not saying EX-DDR-people or even ex-Communists aren't OK (Merkel herself is ex-DDR).

    Germany officially elected Queen Angela I in a landslide-- FDP and anti-Euros out

    It is a party that on its official website defends the DDR as a legitimate experiment. They still defend the DDR. Would you say that Nazi-Germany was also not 100% bad?

    Your thoughts about Chile's Pinochet, 40 years after the coup.

    Just like there are negationists who deny the holocaust there are also negationists on the left like you who deny the murderous and anti-democratic nature of Communist regimes.

    Would You Support Legislation that Would Ban Burning/Destroying the Quran?

    You know that upsets Muslim jihadi's too and leads to attacks on US citizens and soldiers too. But that you don't want to discourage, but free speech you do want to discourage. Sounds hypocritical to me.

    Germany officially elected Queen Angela I in a landslide-- FDP and anti-Euros out

    Die Linke describe the DDR as a legitimate effort to build a Socialist state and claim that it is not just the past, but also the future.

    Germany officially elected Queen Angela I in a landslide-- FDP and anti-Euros out

    Apparently you feel only an absolute majority would be a victory.

    Germany officially elected Queen Angela I in a landslide-- FDP and anti-Euros out

    No, I'm not wrong. Die Linke is the anti-democratic Left.
