The Soviets, those damn commies, took the brunt of the Nazi Army's punch. It was much easier for the United States to win in Europe when 75% of the Nazi army was fighting in Eastern Europe. Not that you'll hear that story before you get to college in America.


Those damn commies also ended up killing 23 million innocent civilians. Dwarfing Nazi Germany's holocaust. But anyways, I've never denied Soviet contribution to the allies, but their embarrassingly poor military tactics and their giant death toll is not something to exactly gloat about. They are truly lucky Nazis didn't win the war, thanks to the West.

Technological superiority (not to mention immunity to disease) is what won the Americas and Australia, not superior culture. To assume it's culture that was superior is, well, racist. That technological superiority was used to create superior economic conditions as well as to outright take from the weak.


I never claimed superior culture won the Americas, that doesn't make sense logically. Of course our technologically was responsible, and I'm thankful it happened due to our culture that is based upon Greco-Roman civilization infused with Christian thought. Contrast this to the random indigenous tribes (in what is now the USA) that had no written language or wheel. To say that there is no such thing as cultural superiority infers the Ancient Egyptians, with their God-King cult, were on the same level as the ancient Greeks culturally. Or that modern day American culture is equal to Congolese culture where rape has become a social norm. Absolute insanity.

Trust me, you qualify.

I have many family members that were truly involved in the defeat of Germany in World War Two. None of them held the racist views that you do.

Racism and bigotry don't seem to get much support on this board. There must be someplace else that would find your crap more acceptable.


You're obviously biased being married to an amerindian. But if it's racist and bigoted to say the American conquest and manifest destiny were good things, and non-racist to say whites should return to Europe, then that shows the intellectual dishonest that is prevalent on this board.

No worries, ajax18. You're not working for my entitlement check. I don't get one. I'm probably more of a capitalist then you are. Self employed and earning my own living.


Then I salute you for you honesty and work ethic and the fact that you are not now counted amongst the droves of people successfully looking poor on paper to bilk the government nor amongst the culture of people making a living out of planning welfare babies.

You sound like a Commie that believes He is a Capitalist, please correct me if I'm wrong.

ajax18... If you had all of the Premier American Material Goods would it still matter to you if complete strangers weren't able to set you from any other American? Please be honest.

that's why we compete, that struggle keeps the engine going.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I couldn't care less what people think of me. I'm not out trying to impress prostitutes. Most people can't set me apart from any other American. Why would I want anything different? I've never been much for overpriced restaurants or anything like that. Let me eat as much as I can at Golden Corral and I couldn't be happier. If had a million dollars I'd probably still buy and drive a Hyuandai. I don't need any more.

But that's not the point. You guys think there is this huge number of people in the upper 1%. You think that taxing such a small number of people is going to solve your budget crisis caused by this enormous and expoentially growing mob of poverty being imported from the south and all over the entire planet. It won't. It's not about the 1%. It's about normal people making more reponsible choices and being held accountable for those choices.

Yet you say you are content with your station in life, driving a hunday and eating at The Golden Corral. What exactly has the 1% taken from you?

To me your response seemed like a typical Commie Capitalist Remark.

Do you expect more from the 1%?

If the 1% has caused so much damage to you and yours, why not just pick up a weapon and turn that 1% into a .006%? Are you too fricking brainwashed by the television as to believe you cannot join a lynch mob and march on the residences of this 1%? If you encountered any type of security it would probably only be 1 or 2 Guys carrying 10-15 rounds at most.

I don't understand your logic. What exactly has this 99% accomplished aside from creating a short lived public nuisance?

I'm not sure you're getting the point. Even if we put the entire 1% to the guillotine and divided the money equally amongst the poor, we'd still have an entire planet of poor. The French have already done what you're talking about doing. It didn't better the human predicament. The problem is the 99%, not the 1%.

The Republican party is changing because the world is not divided between haves and have nots as the liberals would have you believe, but rather divded between moral and immoral people, responsible and irrepsonsible, working and welfare receiving, teen moms vs. wedded health insurance premium paying moms. The world is divided between those who see the only way to make things better is to take from another versus self reliant people who are patient enough to work save and build through generations. On all these issues, I see the new Republican party on the right side.

Look, we've already established insanity on my end. My question concerned your assertion that British-American Protestants are the only true Americans. Since this assertion was clearly not a parody, then I say welcome to the club. We receive bingo prizes and thorazine every Wednesday night. See you at the game.

So you're saying the 99% need to collapse the world economy, then wait for the immoral, irresponsible, welfare receiving, teen mom, ex-cons to die off then slowly rebuild?

Do you think your time would be better spent if you just waited for Jesus to come back?

Wow. Is the right wing still trying to push this nonsense? Honestly, I thought this kind of silliness died with disco and bell-bottoms.

I guess I should have known better after hearing Newton Leroy blowing the dog whistle that perked up the ears of the southern racists (his diatribe about black people needing to learn a work ethic and changing their "food-stamp" mentality to a "paycheck" mentality).

Ah, that took me back... made me nostalgic for Reagan's remarks about "welfare queens" (code for "fat black women pumping out fatherless babies for a welfare check") riding around in limousines, and "young bucks" (code for "big, scary black guys") buying beer with food stamps.

It appears some cherished right-wing fantasies will never die, no matter how thoroughly they are proved wrong.

No, it's more like a failure of left wing propaganda to conceal the truth that people see with their own eyes every day.
