REF: INHERIT THE WIND

It has been many years since I have heard the word, “Weisenheimerism!” Nice.

Still, the endless praddle on the nature of reality and how many angels can dance on the head of Pelosi is little more than commentary on proper thumb twiddling and bovine scatology.

The crucial issue is the One-Payer Health Care Bill floating around in the U.S. Congress. The insurance companies have their starting line-up, including both parties, fighting to rush anything through to thwart One-Pay. One-Pay Health Care in the USA is the worst nightmare for these global special interestst, despite all the blather and propaganda about saving “private business.” As it stands, so-called mainstreat, private business can only exist when the Great Parasite is cut off from its host.

Others have pointed out your youthful tendency to stoop to name-calling and the potty mouth. I fear they are correct.

But it is never to late to atone.

Just admit your shortcomings and recant your deceive deeds. It is a pity, you seem to show much loyalty but, to what, I will not mention.

Never to late to come over and renounce the dark side.

Face it, Mel Brooks is the quentasential slapstick, pie-in-the face, who found that schlocky old jokes are new to a new generation. The timing was right and he had bankster friends who loved him with the huge success of his spoof on “Frankenstein’s Monster.” When you listen to him various interviews he understands his place. He is not suffer from self-delusion. He clearly understands that Chaplin was the great one, not himself. Politically, you probably coincide with his view of the world. But, who really knows. You can only take what people say with a dose of salt. In the cosmos, taken in terms of all enternity, why make such a fuss about Mel Brooks, you or me?

Like your screen name might suggest, we are all just dust in the wind.

FoggyJones,

Stop trying to cover up the fact that you didn’t recognize Brooks’ “Springtime For Hitler” with this pedantic bullshit.

You got caught with your pants down “my friend” and you should be man enough to just admit it, rather than all this phony condescending chatter.

Or, as a friend of mine always puts it “When you’re in a hole, stop digging.”

Mel Brooks explained in an interview that the best way to destroy your enemy like Hitler was by mocking them before mass audiences. He imitated Charlie Chaplin (The Great Dictator). Mel Brooks is no Charlie Chaplin, my friend.

As for the snippet of prose you typed in, the words stand for themselves and I stand by my first answer.

My friend, you are are typical of those students who resent the question and write to prove the question is invalid. You would never attempt that in calculus but words are ever so slippery. That is why many greedy, sly scoundrels enter the law profession. I have had the opportunity to watch some of the best mindbenders spin their webs, they often succeed. The difference between such a clever attorney and you, sir or madam, is they don’t believe a word they are saying. Right or wrong is irrelevant, intelectual “honesty” is incomprehensible to such people.

Now, please explain why anyone but yourself should recognize a stray fragment of prose written by a wealthy comedian who sees Nazis behind every tree?

Are you for real or are you kidding us? 

Are you telling us you don’t know THE most famous song from “The Producers”, Mel Brooks’ fantasy about two crooked producers who sell a few thousand percent of a show doomed to fail, that they WANT to fail, called “Springtime for Hitler” that instead of failing as it’s supposed to is smash comedy hit?

It’s one of the funniest movies of all time and was a smash hit on Broadway.

It is always the same. There is nothing new under the sun. Only the interpretations change. Reality depends on your point of view. If you are not really a believer, in the long run, what does it matter? Eventually, aren’t we all dust in the wind? Thus, who inherits the wind? You?

Rave on “Wind.” Just like Pelosi, you dig yourself deeper into your hole. It is becoming humorous. Here is some reading to consider what the vast majority think of your view of the world:

The Rise and Fall of X-folks

  Once their productive capacity [is] enhanced, countries…normally find it easier to sustain the
  burdens of paying for large-scale armaments in peacetime and of maintaining and supplying large
  armies and fleets in wartime.  It sounds crudely mercantilistic to express it this way, but wealth is
  usually needed to acquire and protect wealth.  If, however, too large a portion of the state’s
  resources is diverted from wealth creation and allocated instead to military purposes, then that is
  likely to lead to a weakening of national power over the longer term.  In the same way, if a state
  overextends itself strategically—by, say, the conquest of extensive territories or the waging of costly
  wars—it runs the risk that the potential benefits from external expansion may be outweighed by the
  great expense of it all—a dilemma which becomes acute if the nation concerned has entered a period
  of relative economic decline.

The Pope’s alleged “association” with the “Nazis”??
Are you people all insane or abysmally ignorant??
NEWSFLASH: THIS WAS A POLICE STATE-A DICTATORSHIP!!!
At 10(ten)years of age I,with other little girls of
my age HAD to join the JUNGMAEDELBUND(YOUNG GIRLS
LEAGUE)-no excuses.The same rules applied to boys-
at the age of 14 you would then be accepted in the
older Hitler Youth groups-AGAIN NO CHOICE.
How anyone can possibly tie that affiliation to the
“NAZIS"is absolutely diabolical and no doubt comes
out of the “POT STIRRERS” poison kitchens.
Hitler patterned the Hitler Youth group after the
BRITISH BOYS SCOUTS—(what a surprise,eh?) since he
admired the British (of course not the Churchill
regime). My short stint with the Jungmaedel group
ended when I was 12 (twelve)-at the end of the war
in 1945——-my dad,who was a stage actor at the time
had me join a young student’s theater group-which
was more fun for me and kept me from attending those
boring meetings.
Stop with these ridiculous Nazi allegations of the
Pope-gee,now we have to apologize for having been
born in Germany? Another insanity.
How about going after the Soviet atrocities for a
change—Stalin and his helpers must have had many
Soviet citizens to aid and abet HIS crimes-
Stamp out ignorance in this country-it’s about time.
Don’t flap your gums about things you don’t have a
CLUE about. I rest my case.

Now feel free to criticize Benedict for all the stupid, thoughtless and atavistic actions he has taken as pope, or even as a cardinal.  Now THAT is fair game!

WED 807 pm/cst

LONGFELLOW nailed the essential point of this non issue - mainstream media sux. the people who are discussing the finer points of waterboarding is clearly a blatant distraction, a blinding smokscree, just part of the propaganda campaign.

Good for Longfellow. At least one person understands how this bogus two-party system really operates. We are falling into a world of sheet and MSM is pushing us over the edge. It is about lost jobs, foreclosures, banking corruption and the puppet politicians. add the msm and we are in deep with little prospects of relief, ever.

Taking in the whole picture as a topic to fret and worry over, this Pope article is almost equal in proportions to Ms. California and her simplistic opinions on how people should or should not live.  Both people have some notoriety and followers who would be influenced by their prognostications whatever they may be.

Stepping back both issues, the Popes past history or Ms California’s opinion on gay marriage, are really non issues and only distractions from more important issues which could effect the lives of people in the world.

Pope bashing and Ms California’s simplistic comments, can be amusing as a pastime entertainment for people like me, but when the rubber hits the road, it means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

In the end, these are only MSM guided distractions, for the masses to fret over, smoke and mirrors to hide what is obvisously going on under our noses.

In response to writers who believe it irrelevant that the current Pope (Benedict XVI) was a Nazi Youth:

1. Many youth in Austria and Germany were pressured into joining the Juggerand but many resisted. No one went to prison camp for saying “no” and many youth did just that, but not the Pope. He said “yes.”

2. Judging from Rat’s post-Nazi political affiliations, he consistently chose THE MOST CONSERVATIVE political parties legally allowed in Germany. Had he NOT been a Nazi sympathizer one would expect him to identify with a non-rightwing political agenda.

3. As Inquisitor, Rat defended pediophiles from prosecution and enabled their continuing abuse through transfers and denials.

4. As current Pope, he has pardoned Nazi sympathizers, insulted Jews and Muslims, not to mention women and lgbt peoples.

If it looks, walks and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. Seig heil, Benedictus XVI.

Wasn’t the now pope in the German military? He was said to have deserted because it was near the end of the war and Germany was about to lose. True? 

I’d prefer talk about the Vatican helping Nazis escape at the end of WWII to South America.

Don’t forget that Benedict’s last job title was Grand Inquisitor.

I TOLD you don’t drink and post!  Yikes!

Now are we supposed to extrapolate that this is a TYPICAL or ATYPICAL Jewish woman? 

Because MY wife is nothing like her.  But my SIL could make this woman look sane.

The RATz reaffirmed his adherence to the Nazi ideology by reinstating those once ex communicated Holocaust Deniers.
Nostradamus was not a soothsayer- he was a man of deductive reasoning- knowing the vile men who sat on the Thrown of the Vatican (Taking the seat of Peter the usurping Heretic), one day the world would have the Freedom to turn their backs on the Romans Religion of oppression and persecution, without being burned or slaughtered.
No Doubt Ratz was a high ranker under John Paul who helped hide Child molesters for decades.
He has Dared Claimed Condoms promotes AIDS! so all those who are ‘Faithful’ are dumping their condoms and continuing to screw like bunnies. I’m surprised he didn’t say screwing young virgins (girls or boys) Would cure AIDS.
Instead of any meaningful input into any of the numerous problems facing the World Community- he’s send out edics on Cell Phone use.
Even as a Recovered Catholic, I had at least a positive view of John Paul even though I rejected the strict guilt ridden religious doctrine, but Ratz’s ranks with some of the most disgusting men whoever lived in that Guilded palace.The World is in economic meltdown, people are starving, Dying from diseases, the planet is in peril and yet the Vatican still sits on it’s wealth,expecting humanity to kiss his Ring.What not only typifies this Pontiffs attitude, but sums him up to a Tee…..‘Ratz Ass’.
The Vatican is the ‘Great Whore’...What the Evangelicals,and their kissing cousins the Islamic and Jewish extremeist, dream of being.All Deceivers, All the Scourge plaguing humanity for Millenia.
They have Tried to replace the “One and Only One’ with their particular sacred Idol- which amounts to heresy on two counts in Monotheism.Not to forget the other ‘golden rules’ they have broken along the way in that process.They have never been able to ‘Walk the Walk’, but it appears they have also given up even trying to appear like they can ‘Talk the Talk’.

People who are so concerned about a young man in 1945. Hope you did not do something in your youth that will later be regarded as despicable or wrong. As was mentioned in the comments what has he accomplished since the end of WW II? Surely the good deeds will appear brighter than any supposed past wronf doings?

Wow, this fragment of bovine scat has attracted a swarm of haters. Hate Jesus and those goyem very much, do you? Yes, yes let it all out. They continue to ruin your life and it is justified. Hatem’em real good and payback is hell, right?

> I believe Pope Benedict XVI is merely a poor pope.

True.

> I kinda liked Pope John Paul I—for the month he was there.  He was kinda goofy, and looked in his whites like Harpo Marx in a morterboard!  But he actually changed the Church more in 30 days (for the good) than Benedict has done in 4 years.

Very interesting.

B16 and JP2 are / were the two most conservative Popes in decades. If one hated the Church one might think that their election was a great thing; however apparently popular JP2 was - to his followers. But, as you say, there will be another election soon enough.

Disappointing to know that evangelical protestants are making great headway in raising converts in Brazil and South America. What the world doesn’t need is more bat$hit-crazy protestants. The US lived with the results of that for eight years; they provided the cover for a plausible democratic electoral win, while the Neocon election-stealing operatives rigged the Supremes for their 5-4 ‘fix’ in 2000.

One church doth not a crazy faith make. But it does make for some scepticism, even for the more mainstream. ymmv.

“You see, we still have Stone Age people and we have medieval people, and it’s much better that they get cured in a style appropriate to them. I once, for instance, sent a patient to an exorcist. And if someone goes to a voodoo doctor in Haiti, it may very well help. Certain people are on that level, and they need to be cured on that level.” - Marie-Louise von Franz, p63, Visions and Voices by J. Cott.

Peculiar stuff.

Joseph Alois Ratzinger?

Hmmmmm…..Adolph Hitler’s father’s name was…..

Alois Hitler!

Therefore Pope Benedict must have been named to honor Hitler and his father, Alois.

You can make up any crap you want. I, for one, do not believe that Pope Benedict XVI is anti-semitic.  In fact, he walked out on an anti-semitic rant by a Moslem cleric.  I do not believe Pope John Paul II would have elevated Ratzinger as far as he did if he suspected for a microsecond that he was anti-semitic.

I believe Pope Benedict XVI is merely a poor pope, and, as an old man, not long to hold the chair of Peter, and they’ll be picking a new Pope soon.  I don’t wish for his death, but, at 83 and sickly, it’s coming—it’s coming.

I kinda liked Pope John Paul I—for the month he was there.  He was kinda goofy, and looked in his whites like Harpo Marx in a morterboard!  But he actually changed the Church more in 30 days (for the good) than Benedict has done in 4 years.

I for one,  am glad to find out the Pope was not a member of the KKK, even though his costume would suggest otherwise, only thing missing is a pointy hood. As a youth I was in the boy scouts, one should know that does not automatically mean I dislike gays.

CARITAS

Why do anti-Pope posters care, and at _such_ length? Are they Catholic? Or are those messages from an evangelical protestant, a bat$hit-crazy anti-religious nutcase, or a dogmatic atheist? Whatever happened to ‘Live and let live’?

“If you call yourself a Christian, can you love a Hitler. If not, what do you call yourself?” - Joseph Campell. Can you love a Joseph Alois Ratzinger? Apparently not.

A few facts - Ratzinger’s (so-called) childhood experiences - In 1945 he was 17, max 18 - What has he done since? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Benedict_XVI

Yet again, the Pope, at a moment of true social understanding, made the mistake of trying too hard to appease the masses. His understanding of the people is nada, zip, zilch, bupkus!  His whole life has been dedicated to enriching the Church and not thinking of the people.
Benedict cannot relate to the people of the world, he was the cardinal who before he became the Pope, that ran the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, more commonly called under the medieval times, the Inquisition.  He surrounded himself with like-minded people that would not dare disagree with the ‘chosen one.’  Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, was and is the most defiant pope in the history of the church. He will not allow dissent in any form to rise
up.  His is a world where all men agree with him and his thoughts or else they are condemned to a life of poverty and no contact with the outside world.
Would you or any member of your family trust someone that cannot tell the whole truth regarding his association with the Nazis?  Would you trust someone that covered up the pedophile scandal? 
I cannot and do not have any faith in the hierarchy of the Roman Church, my faith is built on an understanding of a loving and merciful G-d, not a G-d of judgment and wrath.
In the end, my prayer is that all men will seek the salvation of their spirits and souls through G-d as the understand G-d.  Not through an organized religion or cult, whichever you prefer to call it, its all a moneymaking scam anyway.
