What if Oskar Schindler were treated the way the Founding Fathers are?

Yes or no? Was Oskar Schindler a member of the Nazi party?

If the answer is yes, then the final word is that he was a racist and an anti-semite. There are no other facts, there is no other context and important information to the story. He was, in fact, a high-ranking Nazi party member.

It's a fact. He was a racist. He was a high-ranking racist. Fact.

--------------------------------

You know the progressives wouldn't stand for this for very long. They would want to dig, they would want to add context, etc etc. They would want to make sure it was pointed out that O.S. saved over 1000 lives. But yet, this is exactly the idiocy they engage in when they pose their simple loaded questions in regards to the Founders.

Have you stopped beating your wife today? Yes or no. Did the Founding Fathers own slaves? Yes or no?

Those are loaded questions meant to arrive at a false narrative.

So, was Oskar Schindler a member of the Nazi party? Yes or no. That's it, that's all I need to hear. I don't need to hear anything else.

Everyone is flawed.

Everyone sins.

Interesting perspective...

The fact he saved 1,000 Jews from certain death doesn't factor in ?

I'd take a 1,000 lives over any perceived flaws the OS had...

Based on the article premise the founders were scum sucking opportunist also since owning slaves was a voluntary decision...

I think that’s what makes his story so appealing. An incredibly deeply flawed man, in almost every respect, was able to do what he did.

Especially in contrast to the camp guards who grew up as nice Catholic and Lutheran lads and lasses and ended up collecting tattoos as a hobby.
