| Message | I commend the Christian Democrats for their pragmatism. However, the Nazi's are begrudingly allowed their beliefs in the fall of democracy and the rise of oligarchy and violence. However, when it comes to another element of society wishing to be allowed to live according to their culture, we might as well 'just make the flag of our country with rainbows'. The Nazi's should just get their hands and heads of interference out of our closets; the government, like a company, serves the community, it should not direct it like a sadist headmaster. |
