"I for one will be investigating with California's AG what the definition of all this is." -Wallaby

As an employee at the CA A.G.'s office, you should see what we get in the mail.

Address it to the Public Inquiry Unit. Seriously, they have thousands of form letters to choose from. Enjoy yours.

Q: Why is it that Republicans are incapable of discussing any foreign policy issue without bringing up Hitler and Neville Chamberlain and appeasement?

A: Because Neville Chamberlain is the ultimate personification of liberalism at its most flagrant, and he DID try to sate the appetite of a voracious, murderous monster.

Just as leftists today are trying to comfort the Allahu Akbar crowd, the very same "peaceful" Islamists who would just love to kill all of us kuffar in the name of Global Jihad.

In other words, all of you lefties here are dangerously naive for refusing to learn from the harsh lessons of the past, starting with the Great Appeaser, Chamberlain.

OK, anyone with a few 20th century history classes can probably figure out what the problem with this ridiculous statement is.

Hint: Neville Chamberlain was succeeded by a member of his own political party.

Using power may mean going beyond mere mediation.

Here's Seth P. Tillman, a few decades ago, on U.S.-Israel relations:

"The U.S. should cease to be a mediator and become an arbitrator."

Of course, these past 8 years, the U.S. did cease to be a mediator . . .

Do you know what the word Appease means? If so, please define it, and then tell us how it is that you connect it to the "appeasing liberals'.

Q: Why is it that Republicans are incapable of discussing any foreign policy issue without bringing up Hitler and Neville Chamberlain and appeasement?

Whenever someone brings up the Nazis in an argument where it really doesn't apply (99.9% of the time), it's their way of admitting that they don't have a valid point to make. Think of it as an argument placebo, to give the feeling of a valid argument when there isn't one. There are many variations of this. For example, Lab2112:

Chamberlain let Hitler annex Poland and Czechoslovakia. In the mind of a right wing authoritarian, this is the same thing as expressing criticism at the wanton loss of innocent life in an Israeli offensive.

These people are not rational players. Scrutinizing their ideas as if they were rational is folly.

As soon as Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia (and any others I neglected to mention) start annexing territory as Hitler did, you'll be sure to find all sorts of objections here about. Until then, well, it's pretty silly/pathetic to say that Chamberlain personifies "liberalism" because he gave in to Hitler.

Just as leftists today are trying to comfort the Allahu Akbar crowd, the very same "peaceful" Islamists who would just love to kill all of us kuffar in the name of Global Jihad.

And how many of these Islamists are there? Can you provide a number, a percentage, from a reputable source? Or do you "claim" that all Muslims fit into this category?

In other words, you're words lack any kind of coherency.

One of the fascists' earliest tests was to see if the West would allow them to overthrow a Western democracy and assist fascism by aiding and bombing Spain to back the Franco Falangists.

And they got the message they sought -- the West declared themselves officially uninterested, although Britain, for example blockaded Spain from getting arms and assistance from Mexico and elsewhere.

Maybe if the anti-Communist, anti-Socialist, anti-democratic right wing of the USA and elsewhere hadn't let Mussolini and Hitler aid Franco so easily into power, it might have sent a different message.
