@Rich, as per usual, you're merrily missing the point!

If you ever bothered to read through the Weimar Constitution as compared
with the Nueremberg Laws, the change(s) would knock you cold. First off,
any scholar would tell you, as aforementioned, that for the first time in German
history, the concept of race was introduced into the body law of Germany.

Jews, Roma, homosexuals, political "undesirables" etc. were deemed unfit to
become or to remain German citizens and were therefore to be rendered
stateless, thus removing considerations on their behalf accorded regular
German citizens.

The Weimar Constitution by contrast was modeled on the US-Constitution by
Hugo Preuss, a German constitutional scholar, who among others believed,
perhaps in hindsight naively, that Germany was ready for democratic leadership.

How mistaken they were.

For one thing, the Nazis completely re-wrote the law governing basic human rights to fit
their own warped philosophy, among them, self defense, since the Nueremberg Laws cf.
with their post-War Basic Law, was ideologically rather than ethically motivated.

Self-defense is neither "right" nor "wrong", but rather instinctively justifiable.
Somebody comes as either me or my wife and family in order to harm or kill them,
it's either kill or be killed!!

Surely that's nothing I'm proud of any more than a fox is anything other than a fox,
a hippo anything other that a hippo, a human being anything on that what he or she is,
the way we were born.

Easy as victor or stronger power to defend brutal action or rationalize sadism or cruelty! It's ever so much hard to accept
personal responsibility.
Killing in true cases of self-defense might not be legally considered "murder" in the Constitutional or even Biblical sense,
though it's nevertheless wrong!!

All I'm saying is that it's never acceptable to spew hateful garbage in public, period!
What would have meant admittance to an insane asylum some sixty-seventy-odd years ago,

I agree with you completely on points #4 and #6.

@Iron & Rich,

From one "troll" to another, if it's fine to utter hate speech as free speech,
then we all might as well resign from the human race and rent/purchase cages

There's a difference though between so to speak "traditional" Islam vs. "radical" Islam! My apologies for seeming to bandy
words, however, the distinction here might well be a concrete, not merely a semantic, one.

@Ironside,
According to the Internet, considering that its reportage is accurate (which I take it, much of it is), Braun
is outspokenly anti-Semitic, while apparently denying allegations that part of his family is Jewish.

All blind supporters of their elected leader will naturally claim "FAKE NEWS!" in spades, however, his
outbursts have done little for Poland's public relations any more than the AfD has done for Germany's.

Something to think about.

In Mallorca for certain!
When I visited there during the late '90's,
much of Southern Spain especially was

almost proud of never having to know a syllable

As with the proverbial "ugly American" right after the War,
most wealthy foreigners figure, however incorrectly, that mullah's
the sole international language! Flash a thick wad in someone's face
and you own them; the thicker, the better.

Except for the French, American, Irish and Italian National Revolution, Rich!

Neither Patrick Henry, Philip Nolan, Geo. Washington, Robespierre, Count Cavore, Mazzini, Garibaldi, Parnell or Eamon de Valera were Jews in
any way, shape or form.

You're merely fueling your ignorance further.

As usual, you're either playing the Devil's Advocate, just playing dumb
or you're prevaricating once again and actually know what makes the AfD
extreme!

The AfD wants to cancel Holocaust education from all German school curricula
and in essence downplay the inestimably horrific nature of the Third Reich.

Isn't even that extreme enough for you??

As I've said before, Merz is between a rock and hard place (sitzt zwischen zwei Stuehlen). If he doesn't play both sides of the street,
he risks alienating his target base. On the other hand, if he kowtows solely to the left, he's cooked!

He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
