Thread Name: BS: Adolf Hitler
Subject: RE: BS: Adolph Hitler
I disagree that hindsight is 20/20 vision. There is lots of revisionism. Hitler was garbage as a human. That is fact #1. Fact #2 is that he dragged Germany down. Any attempt to portray him as a 'saviour' of the German economy is simply false. War itself generates massive amounts of money and high profits. Economies move when countries are at war. That's partly why we have had so few years of peace. To suggest that Hitler had any sort of wisdom or genius is foolish. It's much like giving Alberta's ex Premier (Ralph Klein) credit for getting the Province out of debt. BULLSHIT. He predicated a budget to get Alberta out of debt based on oil at $18 a barrel. It's somewhere near $60 a barrel and averaged near $40 per barrel over the years and THAT is why Alberta got out of debt. But not all of Alberta, though. We have one of the higer rates of children living below the poverty line in all of Canada.

Lat's not revise history to accommodate shit like Hitler. Or those who were 'with' him in his sick plans.
