Well Alex, former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, is sounding like you on on the subject of Thomas Jefferson and democracy:

Thanks to the gentleman from South Carolina who posted the above on his website.

There's no reason to be radical for the sake of being radical...

From what I've read there was a political connection between Strassmeier and Helmut Kohl.

My interest in reading German politics comes and goes. Political German is very hard to read and historical German isn't much better.

the CAH website I was looking at yesterday due to Gleebe's interview says andy's dad was the "architect of reunification" and a bigwig in the CDU (that's kohl's party right?)

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU), also known as the Christian Social Union (CSU) in Bavaria, is a post WWII reincarnation of the old Zentrum party. The Zentrum party was the "catholic" party that lost most of its membership to Hitler's National Socialist Party.

Angela Merkel is the current leader of the CDU; one memorable German political cartoon has Angela performing oral sex on George Bush. The punchline on the cartoon was "does she swallow" commenting on her inflated cartoon cheeks. The otherside of the coin is the very straight laced Dr. Edmund Strobier leader of the CSU in catholic Bavaria. Dr. Strobier is known for his policy of "lederhosen & laptops", the good Doctor pretty much does as he pleases as Governor of Bavaria. For example he ignored a German federal court order to remove crucifixes from public school classrooms in Bavaria.

Many people substitute extremism for conviction and solid beliefs. It's an error that causes failure, every time.

Many Jews pretend not to be. At anus.com you stated you were 1/3 mexican 1/3 eskimo and 1/3 swedish jew. Are you a practicing Jew? Do you wear a yarmulke? Did you have a bris and bar mitzvah? Is your mother a Jewess?

This reminds me of the "Was Beethoven BLACK?" thread. Do the math?

I did the math in another thread in another post that you failed to answer along with many other simple questions. Like, if you say you are 1/3 mexican, 1/3 eskimo, and 1/3 swedish jew, why are you at VNN pretending you're White?

Do you wear a yarmulka?
Did you have a bris?
Was your mother a Jewess?
Did you have a bar mitzvah?

Like, if you say you are 1/3 mexican, 1/3 eskimo, and 1/3 swedish jew, why are you at VNN pretending you're White?

How does that work, that one becomes 1/3 anything?

LOL

You're the one asserting that the numbers are real, not I :)

what is real Jew? what of your many contradictory statements is the truth? that you are a troll? a Jew? how does one differentiate one of your statements from another? You said it not me. I just repeated your statement. Normal humans dont assume the other person is lying when they talk.

Unless they are talking to a Jew.

Not every forum is serious, nor every reply.

Face it, you took a reply out of context and now you're covering up to save face. It's weak.

What's even more pathetic is that people here are indulging in ad hominem instead of replying to the content of the original message. That's so... so internet post-1997.

A waste o' space ! But I guess this jew knows that. Unfortunately, not enough of us do know that.

Oh, I only pick on the jew because he might have a big nose :rolleyes:
