It there is a Hall of Fame for bad ideas, I'd have to nominate Theodore Junker for his Hitler Museum:
quote:
The setting is deceptively serene and inviting. Deep in the woods of southern Wisconsin, past the antique malls and strawberry fields of Highways 12 and A, a retired farmer stands above a pond and keeps watch over a dozen ducklings and geese. But hanging on a wall behind the gentle 87-year-old man, taped in white lettering on a granite façade, is a haunting welcome to a startling shrine. “Honorary Hall for Adolf Hitler: Before You Pass Judgment, Give Careful and Equal Consideration to Both Sides.”
This is Theodore Junker's life's dream — a temple of sorts that reaches up a high hill, with brick steps leading to a large landing where visitors can admire — or be repulsed by — Junker's proclamations about “those German and other European heroes” who perished under the tyranny of “Allied persecution and genocide.”
Old Ted doesn't think Adolph was such a bad guy:
quote:
"It's interesting since most people are one-sided informed, and they don't know the other side," Junker said. "He was the greatest man ever."
The local Sherrif convinced Herr Junker that opening his museum might not be good for his health.

Good for the Sheriff!
I wonder, when Herr Junker applied for US immigrant status in 1955, did he answer honestly the questions he was asked about having been a member of a Nazi organization? Did he hide his membership in the SS? If he lied, he can, and should, be stripped of his US citizenship and deported at once.
