OT: Kristallnacht, 80 years ago yesterday, never forget.

[LionJim]

Wanted to get this in before kickoff.

I was reminded this morning that the Kristallnacht pogrom occurred eighty years ago yesterday, November 9, 1938. Eighty years later we're here mourning the Pittsburgh murders, where some of our friends on this board lost family. We need to do whatever we can to stop religious hatred, wherever and whenever we can. God Bless America.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The SPDEMS (Secular Progressive Democrat-Socialists) terrorist arm - AntiFa - does it in places coast to coast inside the borders of the USA today!

We've had several generations since striving to make sure there would never be another Pearl Harbor.

Maybe we needed to spend a bit more effort on preventing something else.

Hatred and bigotry from whatever source is a cancer on civilization.

It seems to be growing in this country daily.

Hmmm... Why not stop "hatred"? Why are you concentrating only on "religious" hatred?

You do realize that (ahem) atheists are the most hated "religion", right?

Does hatred against blacks, gays, women, etc not concern you?

And, you know how I feel about "god" blessing America.
