Sorry Carolyn, the Leader said he prefers a friendly kitchen wench to a Political minded woman. Andre Anglin may possibly use this line to support his boys-only club.

I know, Morty, and it speaks well for him. What would you think of a man who said what he liked best about women was their political expertise? Laughing

But lets not forget he gave some of the Reich's highest medals to Hanna Reitsch and other female pilots, and sought out Leni Riefenstahl to produce the NSDAP's most important documentaries, and no man would have done as well.

Our leader also never protested that the public "didn't understand his meaning" if he got a negative reaction to his stated words. Andrew Anglin is like a weather-vane; he does a lot of turning.

Happy Birthday Ray, and Carolyn is right, you are an "environmentalist" in the Best sense.  I think the best term would be "conservationist" since modern environmentalism has unfortunately been hijacked by the left.  Hitler's compassion for animals is yet another example that flies in the face of those who would label him a monster.
