News / New York Post : "Polish" Death Camps and more [278]

Yeah.....sure....lifelong house arrest for Galileo, burned at a stake for Giordano Bruno...Darwin...even Copernicus....my what a light the church was for all researcher and truth seeker! :):)

This was not Christianity; these were men acting out for their own good at the expense of others.

Similar to Hitler and Germany.

Or do you think you would have converted to Catholicism if you were brought up in Canada 3000 years ago?.

There was no Catholicism much less a Canada 3000 years ago.

The mass murder in the last centuries in the name of the christian god are uncomparable with anything the Pagans could ever do.

Stalin's purges, Hitler's ascendancy, WWII, more Stalin, Mao's purges, Korea, more Mao, Vietnam & Khmer Rouge (Pol Pot).

Some much ignorance; so little time...

I think you exchange your God with a human conscience.

Where was the collective German conscience in the 1930's and 1940's?

The secular regard morality not as absolute, but as relative.

So instead of moral absolutes, the secularist holds legal absolutes. "Legal" for the secularist is what "moral" is for the Right.

The religious have a belief in God-based moral law, and the secularist believes in man-made law exists as moral law.

This is the exact reason why the secularist is infatuated with creating law. It gives them the power to mold society just as Judeo-Christian values did in the past. Secularist ideals (climate change, universal health care, unchecked welfare programs) function as a religion.

Since it lacks the self-control mechanism that is a major part of religion, the secularist passes more and more laws to control people.

There is the direct link between the decline in Judeo-Christian religion and the increase in governmental laws controlling human behavior.

History / Russia: Poland responsible for WW II [300]

It seems a mainstream history revision is underway and Russia's viewpoint is not seen as loony as thought to be.
Something not expectable to read 10 or 20 years back...

WWII rests squarely on the shoulders of the nation of Germany.

History / Russia: Poland responsible for WW II [300]

Buchanan's book? No; I did not.

Buchanan is not a historian.

I've read enough about:
* The Treaty of Versailles
* Rise of Fascism & the Nazi Party (Shirer)
* The expansion on Nazi power at the expense of human rights
* German Re-militarization
* Measuring the allies state of mind through the reoccupation of the Rhineland

I know without a doubt that the blame for WWII falls on the shoulders of the German people.

BB: accept your nations history, accept your nations guilt.

While you cannot make lawsuits against nation.

No, but one can wage war against a nation to force the removal of a dictator.

History / Russia: Poland responsible for WW II [300]

Only insane lunatic may wage a war against a nation. Nevertheless if such war would appear, it certainly have little to do with dictator himself.

Ever heard of Adolf Hitler? :')

It was always written by the winners, so it is beneficial, before making your own judgment to try to see the viewpoints from both sides in the conflict and get as much information from as many diverse sources as possible.

You're spot on; I cannot agree with you more.

History / "GANGING UP" ON POLAND? [99]

Poland promised not to sign a separate peace treaty with the USSR: after Ukrainians had fought for Poland (and after the miracle on the Wisla) Poland signed a separate peace treaty with the USSR.

Like the Rada did to the Poles in 1918 by signing Brest-Litovsk?

History / Who lost WWII (besides Poland)? [42]

That Stalin had other plans with the countries his troops occupied - well, some of his allies knew that beforehand, I guess.

Most likely not because the cold war didn't start until all the great brains started fleeing the east moving to the west.

The Allies knew Stalin, once settled in countries would not leave. The Cold War started on Nov. 28, 1943. The event signaling the start? The Tehran Conference.

IMHO, the western allies were not strong enough militarily to be faster than the Soviets in their advance.

It wasn't a matter of speed; it was a matter of common sense.

The number of casualties the western allies would have experienced taking Berlin would have been egregious.

They were closer to the Nazis than the Americans.

The war was over; the western allies were not going to trade lives for real estate.

As for the cold War; Poland was the first victim in Tehran. There was to be a shift of the Polish border to the Oder and Neisse rivers and the Curzon line

The defeated nations would be divided into occupation zones under American, British, and Soviet control.

It was accepted that the Soviets were to oversee the establishment of government in each liberated Eastern European country.

There's your start...

USA, Canada / Why Americans think that nobody likes them? [185]

2. When you grow up in America you are taught that America is #1 and anyone that doesn't believe that must be against America.

What a load of horse manure... The teachers of today start railing against the United Staes of America from the Founding fathers forward.

3. The mentality is generally one side of the other. dem or repub, either you are with me or you are against me. The middle ground doesn't exist much in the general mentality of the public and therefore if someone is critical of America than it is assumed they are against it or doesn't like it.

Wrong...

News / Poland Remembers start of WW2 [200]

The France campaign is called the biggest and most humiliating defeat ever (in world history).

Try Bagration; Army Group Center was wiped out.

After the conference in Tehran, your heard less and less about Poland from both FDR and Churchill

From the program American Experience on FDR:

* FDR spent many sleepless night wondering if aiding the Brits was the right thing to do.
* After Pearl Harbor FDR, head in hands, worried bout how he'd be remembered as President in the face of the Pearl Harbor attack.
* Belittled his friend and ally (Churchill) to gain favor with Stalin. Stalin made a fool of FDR all at the expense of Eastern Europe.

Oh boy....board idiot Babi has spoken

What about Bagration where Army Group Center was wiped out?

In a larger sense how ironic that you of all people would talk about other nation's humiliating defeats.

Bagration: just looking at the number makes you the one lacking perspective.

historynet.com/operation-bagration-soviet-offensive-of-1944.htm

"By early August, the German Fourth Army and almost all of the Ninth and Third Panzer armies were gone. Thirty German divisions disappeared, and nearly 30 more were crippled. The Red Army was within striking distance of the Vistula and had reached the outskirts of Warsaw. By mid-August, Red Army soldiers were entrenched on Prussian soil, only 350 miles from Berlin, and Romania, with its vital oil fields, was poised to desert the Axis cause. Until January, however, the exhausted Soviet giant would remain relatively quiet, refitting and re-equipping for the final push from the Vistula to Berlin."

"The irreplaceable German losses in Belorussia, in conjunction with the Normandy landings and the July 20 attempt on Hitler's life, spread demoralization throughout the upper ranks of the Wehrmacht's command structure, and made certain that the Red Army would ever after move west. "
