Weave Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Then he should have said that and left names out of it. But the point is, blind respect for the individual in office means you are going to repsect them for their office even if they are the most despicable leader on Earth, because they are YOUR leader. That is what your logic implies. Chimps comparison in light of your stance is valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Used to be respect was granted unequivocally until somebody did something to lose it. Now it has to be "earned" before being granted. I find that completely bass-ackwards. GO SABRES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChimp Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Adolf Hitler believed in ethnic cleansing. genocide. It is not right to compare the two regardless of title. "Right". Oh OK.

That is what your logic implies. Chimps comparison in light of your stance is valid. I saw his point when I first read the post. But I mean come on man. The two men couldn't be anymore opposite. Not to mention we're talking about a different country and time. We are talking about a man that led the world to war. I can hardly imagine any interaction with him.

LaFontaineToMogilny Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 "Right". Oh OK. Mr. Smartypants decided it isn't right. I better stop. In all fairness, I don't think Mr. Smartypants is the only one who thinks there is very little grounds for comparing what any American president has done to what Adolf Hitler did.

Eleven Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Well. All I'm saying is that I hope some left-winger runs the ###### out of Thomas next time he sees him. Preferably Matt Ellis. Maybe then, he can justify his status as a pro left-winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the point made two pages ago is that your blind respect for *whoever* may occupy the Whitehouse means that if you live in 1936 Germany you would be preaching this to the people who are looking sideways at the new Chancellor. Your point was an absolute one. I won't speak for Chimp by my point was to try to show you that respect should not be blind, regardless of the office held. And one persons threshold for respect should not define everyone else's threshold for respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's times like this I wish we had a "paid members only" section where us wiley vets could go discuss topics like this in an adult and restrained manner. There's probably lots of good discourse to be had on this board outside of the common areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
