Sure you understand it. Tearing the building down is an act against the memory of the nazis.
Same reason homes of serial killers are torn down, schools are demolished after a shooting. It is not the building, but the memory associated with the building.
That somehow destroying an inanimate object will allow us to feel better about ourselves.
Chances are in 200 years very few people are going to care about what happened in that house. Much like how the memories of the tyrant kings and conquerors has fallen to the wayside.
Ask a high school kid who caligula was. Chances are the kid will say "who?"
1,500 years from now same response when someone ask who hitler or joseph goebbels was.
...
Um...so if I'm in the market for homes "owned by prominent World War 2 figures", I think I'd much rather own Chartwell, thank you very much.
Would you buy an AUDI or Lamborghini?
Not sure why you ask that?
On this day in 1937, the government of Germany--then under the control of Adolf Hitler of the National Socialist (Nazi) Party--forms a new state-owned automobile company, then known as Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagens mbH. Later that year, it was renamed simply Volkswagenwerk, or "The People's Car Company."
Originally operated by the German Labor Front, a Nazi organization, Volkswagen was headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany. In addition to his ambitious campaign to build a network of autobahns and limited access highways across Germany, Hitler's pet project was the development and mass production of an affordable yet still speedy vehicle that could sell for less than 1,000 Reich marks
Your logic is foolish beyond believability, even for this place. This is why you are a troll.
True - but I gotta poke them before I walk away.Give it up. When someone posts something like "The poor were unhappy with their circumstances and the Nazis gave them a scapegoat: The rich..... This is conservatism."
That's a level of dishonesty you just have to walk away from.

I looked through the thread and couldn't a single post like that.
The poor were unhappy with their circumstances and the Nazis gave them a scapegoat: The rich. That scapegoat later became the Jews, homosexuals, the institutionalized, and the Gypsies.
This is conservatism.
For liberals this may be a none issue. After all, slaughtering jews was legal at the time. Morals and values aside, as long as it was legal, right?
There is nothing wrong with me. In times of doubt I use my moral compass.
To liberals, as long as it is legal anything goes.
What you posted is not conservatism, that is liberalism. Blaming someone else for your problems is being a liberal. Why do you think they are called bleeding heart liberals?
This is the argumentative logic of an 8 year old. Uninformed bias, precludes irrational fallacy
Actually conservatism is pretty simple: Let's all play by the same rules, earn our keep, and be nice. Liberalism - classical liberalism - is much the same, but more willing to accept change (of which we conservatives are suspicious) to promote individual liberty whereas conservatives like more structure and group behavior.
The closest thing we have today to National Socialism is the progressive movement. The Nazis said "you are poor because evil Jews are conspiring to keep you poor"; the American Progressives say "you are poor because evilJewsrich people (many of whom by pure coincidence are Jewish) are conspiring to keep you poor". The Nazis promised to take things from others and give them to you; the American Progressives promise to take things from others and give them to you.
It is not your fault your mother drank heavily while she was pregnant with you.
It is understandable you have rage fits. Maybe there is some medicine that can help you?

It is not your fault you robbed that store, your parents raised you wrong.
It is not your fault you got a junk degree, the bankers are keeping you down.
Occupy wall street - if you have time to sit around on a street, you have time to look for a job.
I don't think the rich are actually conspiring, they are doing this shit right out in the open and conservatives like you cheerlead them on. Christ you guys get a hard-on everytime a union is busted or whenever a factory is moved overseas. You seem to want the American middle class to be erased. You NEVER but NEVER blame the rich for the loss of middle class jobs..... that is ALWAYS the fault of the poor.
My Mom is a a teetotatlling ordained minister.
She probably told you all those $1 bills came from the donation plate?
It is ok though, we still love you.

Gotta look at it in the context of the post to which I was responding.usually, I give you the benefit of the doubt, as you tend to stand well above the arch-fascist losers like TH and Mattwhatshisnumber...then posts like this.
You tend to be able to separate the nuggets of wisdom from the chaff. Now, not so sure.
All of that is just partisanship. If unions voted Republican, then being a union worker would be as American as mom and apple pie. Likewise, if a Republican were in the White House right now, GOP rhetoric would be exactly the opposite even if everything else were the same. And so would yours.
Utter rubbish. You will not find a more fair-minded, non-biased, non-partisan viewpoint than mine. How dare you insinuate that I would let petty partisanship shape my opinions in any manner? That banal insipidity is for Republicans only.
I saw this article a couple of weeks ago, and have been debating on whether or not to start a thread on it.
So here goes.

For liberals this may be a none issue. After all, slaughtering jews was legal at the time. Morals and values aside, as long as it was legal, right? But for civilized people, who you want to own a home with such a "rich" history?
Such a place would probably be best preserved as a museum, or national monument, or maybe bulldoze the house and make a part out of the land? But a home to have children in?
At a good price would you consider buying this lakeside home?
I could see some of the liberal members of the forum who like to hide behind the shield of law buying the house. What Goebbels did was legal. So there should be no issue.
I just could not imagine my kids or grandkids being in a house that harbored so much hate. When hate becomes law, what are people supposed to do?
Placed in P&N because of the political overtone and political history.
ROFLOL at your childish trolling attempt to rationalize in your defective conservative brain that a liberal would automatically want to live there.
Here,'s a pro tip; Maybe if you read the whole news item before you posted it next time, you wouldn't look like such a raving, blithering idiot.
Why not just ask the honest question: "Would a liberal or a conservative be more likely to buy this house?" and leave your childish, idiotic liberal hate out of the mix?
Who is justifying murdering millions of unborn children?
Who was justified murdering millions of jews?
Who was justified in murdering slaves?
