Winston Churchill

Though I don't agree with the statement entirely, when reading these boards I'm often reminded of the quote from Winston Churchill: “If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”

It's a common misconception that WWII was about whether we should be Nazis or not, when in reality, it was more of whether we should be German-speaking Nazis or English-speaking ones. At most, it was about whether or not Jews should be all that sub-human.

I mean, just for starters: wasn't it an Allied nation that had blatantly racist laws until the 60s? (meaning, their soldiers defeated a nation full of signs saying "no Jews", to come home to a nation full of signs saying "no Blacks"...)
Wasn't it another Allied nation that kept forcibly sterilising Gypsies until well into the 70s?
Speaking of which, exactly how well off are Gypsies today, really? (y'know, the people that were sent off to KZ Endlösung almost faster than Jews were)

On a side note: how about movie idols? That blond, blue-eyed German Naval officer and his blond, blue-eyed girlfriend, replaced by ...the blond, blue-eyed American naval officer and his blond, blue-eyed girlfriend.

There is more, but this long post would just be even longer. Besides, you should get my point by now...
