Austria's " far-right " Freedom Party leader, Joerg Haider, is
not my cup of tea either, but the European Union is being arrogant
and undemocratic itself in threatening to sanction Austria if
his ilk is included in the government. How would Italy have
reacted in the Cold War era if the U.S. had demanded that no
communists or far-leftists be included in its government ?
Based on what I read in the newspapers, Haiden is no
more nutty than our very own Patrick Buchanan - who is NOT
a Neo- Nazi - but a quite intelligent conservative.
He had a good word for the Waffen SS ? Well so does a
video that can be borrowed at the Cranston Public library:
" Waffen SS - Hitler's Fighting Force " .
You can read on the cover : " their courage was unquestioned..,
despite sustaining horrendous casualties, their discipline remained
unbroken, their fighting ardor unimpaired ,almost to the very
end....After the war, the Waffen SS were burdened with the near
exclusive blame for the most hideous crimes of the Nazi regime ".
Like our own " gallant " soldiers of the Confederacy ,
they had their good points and their own code of honor.
After reading about conditions of a Paris prison -reported
by a French medical doctor last week - I'm am all the more
disgusted with EU moral smugness.
