Look, I hate the Nazis...I love freedom, I'm a proud American (no, not an Imperialistic chauvinist...I mean a good, proud American
)...but that doesn't mean I can't admire Vladimir Lenin and still admire Thomas Jefferson, or that I must abandon Charles Lindbergh and Henry Ford as national heroes simply because they were Anti-Semetic...
I believe in religious freedom. Genocide is the enemy of everyone, including those that are exacting the genocide. For example, when the Spanish of Ferdinand and Isabella's era pushed out all the Jews and Muslims, they lost some of the best people they had.
But art is art. I don't care what it stands for, if it's good art, it can be admired. I, personally, enjoy
Der Koniggartzer. I also think
Deutschland Uber Alles is a fine piece of music, as is
La Marseille, and
Stars and Stripes Forever and
Rule Britainnia and many other pieces of patriotic music, no matter what the ideas behind the people who used it. D.W. Griffith portrayed the Ku Klux Klan positively, for God's sake, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth watching
Birth of a Nation.
It's a fine march...even if the people marching to it were marching to the beat of a madman's drum.
