					<description><![CDATA[Lots of homosexuals are good people, but undoubtedly, a portion of them has an unhealthy relation to power semantics (Sparta, pederasty, sadism, hate of women and passive homosexuals, etc). 

In France, homosexuals flock to the FN (the National Front Party, the extreme right-wing). Same cause, same effects? As a french person and a left-winger, it scares me.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let&#039;s look at some facts. 

1 - Hitler died in 1945. 

2 - Eva Braun was his companion for 12 years. 

3 - Hitler had Ernest Roehm killed in 1934, along with his aid because he was a homosexual. 

4 - Hitler was a politician. 

5 - Lothar Machtan says that Hitler&#039;s homosexuality ceased to be a factor around 1934.

6 -Machtan is a credible source, seeing as he is a professor of history and his word would be good enough to reference in a doctoral thesis. 



Bearing this in mind, and applying logic, I come to the conclusion that Hitler was bisexual and ceased indulging in homosexual activity before 1934 and that his linking up with Braun was a political move to separate himself from that lifestyle. 



Bisexuality has been common throughout human history, it wasn&#039;t until the last few hundred years that religious and political groups have taken the &quot;homosexual or heterosexual&quot; stance. Bearing this in mind, I have no problem believing that Hitler started a movement that eventually forced him to change his ways or be seen as impure. This suppressed desire and constant pressure to be the model of the Nazi movement would certainly contribute to his waning sanity in the closing years of his life. 



Logically it all makes sense. Unfortunately, not many people care about logic any more (see Bryan Fischer).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So what if Hitler were gay (which he almost certainly &lt;strong&gt;wasn&#039;t&lt;/strong&gt;)?  It does not follow that (to quote Obergruppenfuhrer Fischer) &quot;homosexuality gave us Adolf Hitler ...&quot;



(Of course, it was &lt;strong&gt;hetero&lt;/strong&gt;sexuality that gave us Hitler, just as it gave us me ... and everyone else on this blog!  So there we are!)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lothar Machtan&#039;s theories are absurd and readily proven to be false.Hitler&#039;s personal valet,Heinze Linge,was in a position to know his relations with Eva Braun,and he always stated he was 100% positive that it was a sexual relationship.Hitler&#039;s fellow nazi&#039;s,including the founder of the party,Anton Drexler,and several others circulatesd a flyer,with the intent of having Hitler removed as leader of the Nazi party.The flyer stated Hitler reffered to himself as &quot;the king of Munich&quot;for his many sexual cxonquests of Munich women.Certainly this would not have been a cause to have him ridiculed,if he were a homosexual.Machtan obviously used an angle that would sell books,and it is utterly absurd.There is plenty to disgrace Hitler,without having to use false premises.]]></description>
