Many people don’t know that the Nazi party took many an inspiration from the American south. Even the Nazi’s were taken aback in some cases by how harshly white Americans treated blacks and wrote segregation into their laws.

Nazis respected the confederacy, even looked up to it. “Where did all these fascists come from?” Well, they were always here because we didn’t punish them enough. And project paperclip welcomed in Nazi members, even SS members, and gave them land.

    Moved to Alabama when I was around 30 to work for army.

    It’s quite the culture shock. All the evangelical christians act like they are high on Heroin. They spend all day Sunday at church, and yet are complete oblivious to how they trample the teachings of christ in they daily lives. Pointing it out to them is fruitless.

      Huntsville Area / the Arsenal? I grew up in Mississippi and know first-hand how blatant the hypocrisy is among that crowd, especially since I also currently have family in North AL and New Orleans.

      For most, they don’t even think it’s hypocritical because they grew up using excuses to justify their hatred. Using biblical passages to point out their hypocrisy just results in most of them thinking you’re the one twisting the Word of God.
