Defeat Godless McCollum, Gollin Consort

[ham]

Reading between the lines then, the point of your post seems to be that today’s ally often is tomorrow’s opponent, and vice versa.  The difference in this case is that, as they say, if you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything.  

My example proved that little hulkamaniacs will stand for whatever big brother tells them it's approved to stand for. During WWI they championed democracy & freedom in the company of czarist Russia that still endorsed serfdom and had no modern constitution. The USA were still a segregationist country...many rioting African soldiers taking literally all that hogwash about German racism were hung...
We typically hear liberals, whigroes, lefties and other special groups crying their prayer shawl wet over Germany's pogrom against Jews in the aftermath of a political assassination by a Jew in Paris.
Of course which part did poor little Shlomo in Germany play in the twisted scheme of political grandstand, to have his shop vandalized? NONE.
But there is footage of angry mobs vandalizing during WWI shops with German-sounding names (including Jewish shops), while cops giggle and stand back to enjoy.
The subtitles tell us about the righteous wrath of the patriot. PFFT!
Can YOU tell me the difference?
On both sides they stood for something, but the press they receive is so different.
What about Americans painting ribald slogans on incendiary bombs destined to Japanese civilians?
Can we track back some of those motherf-ckers and make them pay?
What would happen if newly found footage portrayed Germans painting ribald slogans on a gaswagen or other demonic extermination gadgetry?
Wouldn't the motherf-ckers be hunted down even if they were just serving their country and are today 98yo?
If so, explain the difference.
Hitler's supposed lies are all over textbooks...when Bush, Blair & their cohort of ten cents allies were caught lying about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, were they hung? No...they were sentenced to reelection.
People do fall for anything.
But back to the topic, it is not so strange that communism stuck to the spoon even after big brother said enough.
Politicians are there to get rich and connected themselves.
Those who are NOT part of the cabal (in full or in part) either NEVER get there (Buchanan), or are removed (Heider).
Arafat was amassing treasures in Switzerland in the face of the oppressed Palestinians.
Walesa and Mandela, popular icons of disinterested suffering, gave rise to regimes as corrupt and scandal-ridden as their predecessors.
