As reported in Gustave Gilbert's "Nuremberg Diary" based on interview with Hermann Goering in his jail cell as he awaited execution.

quote:

Göring: Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.

Gilbert: There is one difference. In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.

Göring: Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.



National leaders simply scare their own populations by telling them those foreign people are murderous lunatics. That is how they convince voters that a caravan of uneducated peasants like this:

Look. We get it.

You don't pay for it and you need the votes.

Quit posting here as if you really give a shite about these political tools for team blue.

They should cut my grass, right?

Like you said in your "true masculinity" thread?

Why would anyone take you seriously?

We all already saw your racist thread. Repeating the lazy “argument” that one can only be against illegal immigration because they are “scared” is simple minded. Lots of simple minded people are racist...so maybe you can’t help it.

I would actually welcome a civil war at this point. It’s comig anyway and I’m still 29 and spry somewhat fresh off the war in the Middle East. No one I care about is a leftist for the most part and if they are they’re older and won’t be fighting. We all gotta die and dying performing your sworn duty as a citizen has gotta be one of the best ways.

The best was watching them on their I phones at the border a few weeks ago complaining about the food the citizens of Tijuana donated to them.

A few questions:

Where do you stand on the troop draw down planned for our people in the Middle East?

Do you have a door on your place of abode, does that door (if you have one) have a lock, and...do you use the lock?

Leak a story that a duly elected president instructed someone to commit a criminal act knowing that it’s a lie. Wait 24 hours conveniently on a Friday night before correcting .

Not to mention the pics of them with smartphones and shite.

This is all a set up by the OPs ilk and he knows it. Thus the need to lie and ridicule. Standard MO.

We get it..you want the votes to pour across the border because you can't convince the rest of us legit citizens that the lefties are worth a vote or a shite...AND you want one world order with no borders and no rules so it is sky screamer utopia where nobody works and everybody gets a check and a trophy...

Oh, and you letist crazy fricks will keep inventing shite like nobody that crosses the border is a bad guy and human trafficking doesn't happen and drug running doesn't happen, and taxpayers (probably excludes you) aren't funding all these people to the tune of Billions a year who have no business in our Country without coming in correctly. Got it, Brother. Utopia.

Not scared. Pissed.

Pissed that American citizens get robbed of over $100b a year to subsidize illegals. More pissed that filth like you wants to double or triple that number.

Scared is you running your cockholster on a message board and not IRL to somebody like me who would bitch slap the semen out of your head.

I believe the main program is who the frick is going to pay for all these uneducated peasants? That’s what fools like yourself don’t get, having open borders isn’t sustainable. How can you not understand this? Do you plan on opening your home to house illegals and feed them?
