    I loved the review and now can't wait to see the movie.

  • Pakistani Government Cannot Afford to Appease Any Longer

    After reading Christopher Hitchens' article Swat? Not! I have very little to dispute. He used lots of evidence to completely convince me of his argument. One line that truly stood out to me was when he said, ''A state or region taken over by jihadists will not last long before declining into extreme poverty and backwardness and savagery. There are ...

  • Relativization?

    I do not appreciate being equated to a holocaust denier because I routinely point out that Hitler targeted groups other than Jews. The brutality shown towards Jews during Hitler's rule was sickening but we do a dishonor to those who lost their lives in the holocaust and a disservice to humanity by insisting that there is something unique about ...

  • "Relativization"???

    ''But denial can also take the form of relativization—saying that, yes, the Nazis killed Jews, but the killings of Gypsies, Poles, and Jehovah's Witnesses were just as bad.'' Who's relativizing here? You're saying here that killing Jews is worse than killing other people? Killing anybody is wrong and the fact that the Nazis killed Roma, Poles, ...

  • Killing Hitler

    .Graf von Stauffenberg, like many Prussian aristocrats ( including von Hindenburg who, as president of the Wiemar Republic, reluctantly acceded to Hitler's appointment as Chancellor, expecting him to be kept on very short leash by more adept politicians surrounding him ) were resentful of Hitler's rise to power, not because of his anti-semitism or ...

  • Hitler's One Testicle is true says Hedy Lamarr

    Great article...but recently I read a book just out from Corona Books by Devra Hill called '' What Almost Happened to Hedy Lamarr''. In it, Hill, who was a personal friend of Hedy Lamarr, channels her remarks about the known affair that Lamarr had with Adolf Hitler in the early 1930's. Lamarr's husband, a wealthy Austrian arms dealer, offered her ...

  • You're missing steps in your 'logic'

    Arguing that the logical steps of ''no regulation'' and ''regulation'' are adjacent to each other is exactly as stupid as Hitler's own arguments (I'll explain, give me 5 more lines and you'll get it). Using a scary situation to make a straw man argument and grab more governmental power before trying the other myriad of options is EXACTLY what ...

  • You're a buffoon

    Have you seen the stories published here about Obama? They use the race card more than I want to believe! Sure, if Ted ''I left her in the lake, but I'll come back for her later'' does it for you, great. This site is overwhelmingly pro-Obama, and this article merely suggests that Hilary supporters are not moving over to Obama (thankfully). ...

  • Goose step at Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremonies

    I thought the goosestepping at the opening ceremonies was terrifying. To Americans the goose-step is a symbol of oppressive, human right abusing dictatorships. It was a grim reminder that many countries do not enjoy the freedom we enjoy in the US. I've read a little about goose-stepping and have found that there are a few countries that ...

  • Hitler Was a Vegetarian!

    From 1931 - after the suicide of Elie Raubel - his niece and lover, he claims that the smell of meat reminded him of Elie's rotting corpse and he could not stomach it. It is well-documented that Hitler was a vegetarian and the Third Reich even trumpeted his vegetarianism in its propaganda. Vegetarian and Vegan groups are frenetically creating ...
