Seattle Times Editor: Hitler Wasn’t That Unreasonable At Munich Conference

Because, you know, demanding that whole chunks of Europe be put under his authority simply because the people of those areas spoke German was hardly unreasonable.

The editor in question, Bruce Ramsey, has now quietly edited his post to make it sound less Hitler-friendly.  And who can blame him?  Shilling for Obama even to the point of minimizing Hitler’s ambitions in Europe in the 1930’s is just plain embarrassing.

Comments

"Oops!” Screams Ramsey, “who in the hell didn’t edit what I really believe out of that column, you know I cannot be trusted?”


No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

This same logic means we should annex Canada.

Or in a few years Mexico can take control of Texas, Arizona, California and New Mexico.

Did you do any research on the History of the region before posting? 

The Munich Agreement was largely about an area known as the Sudentenland.  It is more than just a region where people spoke German.  When Czechoslovakia was formed in 1919 after WWI it included the Sudentenland, even though they were linked more closely to the Germans both culturally and ethnically.  Even though it was part of Czechoslovakia, the people there were treated as second class citizens by the Czechs.  This naturally offended the Germans. 

Can you now explain to me how the original editorial was inaccurate, not just unpopular.

These clowns think Hitler had the right idea, he just went about it the wrong way.

YES!  It is quite obvious Hitler had it right!  He would have eradicated communism from the Earth over 60 years ago!  NOW what do we have as a result of his defeat?  Zionist Neo-Con Marxism destroying freedom and Christianity WORLDWIDE!  We fought for the WRONG SIDE in that God forsaken war!

Quote from General Douglas MacArthur

“Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear -­
kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervour ­-
with the cry of grave national emergency.
Always, there has been some terrible evil at home,
or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up
if we did not blindly rally behind it.”

I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.

"Step by step, I have arrived at the conviction that the aims of Communism in Europe
are sinister and fatal. At the Nuremberg Trials, I, together with my Russian colleague,
condemned Nazi Aggression and Terror. I believe now that Hitler and the German
People did not want war. But we, {England}, declared war on Germany, intent on
destroying it, in accordance with our principle of Balance of Power, and we were
encouraged by the ‘Americans’{Jews} around Roosevelt. We ignored Hitler’s pleading,
not to enter into war. Now we are forced to realize that Hitler was right. He offered us
the co-operation of Germany: instead, since 1945, we have been facing the immense
power of the Soviet Empire. I feel ashamed and humiliated to see that the aims we
accused Hitler of, are being relentless pursued now, only under a different label.”
(Ashamed and Humiliated The British Attorney General, Sir Hartle Shawcross, said in a
speech at Stourbridge, March 16/84 (AP)).

Holy depravity Micheal.  You’ve lost your soul as well as your mind.

HG on May 18, 2008 at 09:40 pm

Wow Michael you are quite the Nazi tool aren’t ya?

I’m no fan of the Soviets by any means but you can’t honestly believe that gibberish.

Michaels Right,

The map of Europe changed many times.  Tirol in Italy speaks German.  Pomerania now is Poland.  150 years ago it was all Germany.

There are areas in France (Alsace - Loraine) that used to be Germany. 

It’s a little like Mexico looking askance at Texas and California.  Give them a large mighty army, and a strong leader and look out, they’re coming.  Besides they speak Spanish there and it used to be their territory.  So, Why Not.  That can go the other way too.  Read on.

A little study on Historical contested lands and you soon see what drove the great wars in part.  The map of Europe you see today is very different from the one I have from 1882 that I bought in England at an antique shop.  Look at all the“>http://www.cvni.net/radio/e2k/e2k017/e2k17article.html] places where German is spoken as a first language that are not in Germany.  If we lost the Iraq war and the world decides to give Arizona to Mexico as reparations and people could stay there but it wouldn’t be The USA anymore, how long before a rumble for taking Arizona back would start. I mean a large portion of the Arizonans speak English.  Right.  That means something.

History guys, history.  It’s a subject.  Learn it.

Gene, one needs to go back a lot further than 1882 to get an idea of the tremendous changes in area domination in not only Europe but in the world. For instance, do you know that the dominate people in western Europe at one time were the (or as the Greek called them - the Celtoid) and remained so even after the Romans defeated them.  All the so-called Germanic tribes came lster after the Roman empire collapsed.

What’s ironic in Michaels comment is that the people in England today are largely descendent from
Germanic tribes, namely the Anglo-Saxons and the Normands.
