I am so sad for his children and the lives they will lead. They are such beautiful children who have not been given a chance from the beginning. His parents are obviously ill and need intervention. To expose his children to such hatred at a young age does not bode well for everyone.
Indeed it takes a village to raise a healthy child, yet these people want to live in self-imposed exile due to their ignorance and stupidity.
It never ceases to amaze me. God Bless us all!

These people are not “ill.” This is more than a “free speech” issue. These people are a drag on society (Emphysema and bad back? GIMME A BREAK!!) and are promoting hate and involving their children. Their children should be taken from them before they become “outcasts” forever. The parents are unfit – to be parents AND to live in our wonderful country and thumb their noses as the rest of us.

I recently received a viral email with graphics that spoke about how Holocaust education is no longer part of the curriculum in the UK. This was blamed on Muslims. I believe it was an attempt to maintain anti-Islamic sentiments. I responded to the sender that Holocaust denial has deep roots in the good ‘ole USA. Having grown up 40 years ago in the southern Midwest, I heard it. This story confirms it.
I did some research and discovered that no changes have been made to history curriculum in the UK; they still have a very excellent program.
I would equate these people’s naming of their kids after Nazi leaders as child abuse.

School children can be very cruel. If an adult thinks names like Adolph Hitler and Aryan Nation will not make the children the butt of jokes and pranks he is out of touch with reality.
If you read the whole story it appears the father may have been abused as a child. He is simply perpetuating the damage.
I cannot imagine any way the parents are not attempting to indoctrinate the children by giving them such names. They say they are not racists. That is not a decision for them to make. Their actions and even their very statements indicate they are racists.

I agree that the parents are almost certainly disabled by psychiatric issues, and may be faking or exagerating their physical problems to get disability payments and government benefits. The question is whether the children will suffer more from being taken away from their parents or staying with them. Certainly they should be investigated by all the agencies involved.

One day we whites will live in a society that will
appreciate the name Adolf Hitler as one of the
greatest political statesman in history and be
proud to name our children after him.

And sadly for you Hallman, that day may never come. Its just a possible fact that you could only deny. Especially if the U.S. Census Bureau predicts that the Caucasians will be a minority, come 2040.
But of course, the thought of that must be really scary for you.

Ah, James Hallman… I bet if we dig far enough into your ancestry we’ll find something in there to make you hate yourself as much as Hitler obviously hated himself.

Mr. and Mrs. Campbell are both mentally ill. I feel so sorry for their children and what they will have to live with when they grow up. They will definitely have psychological problems later on. Child Protective Services should take their children away from them. If the Campbells think that the swastikas will not bother their children they are not in touch with reality.

No one here has the right to label the parents mentally ill unless those labeling are licensed in the mental health field.
Sadly the parents appear to be using their children as pawns in the evil racism game. The children will pay for this for as long as they have those names.
The father says he’s not a racist, and I want to know why. Why does a non-racist wear swastikas on their arks and name their children Adolf Hitler or Ayran Nation?

“No one here has the right to label the parents mentally ill unless those labellng are licensed in the mental health field.”
No, but what everyone has is the right to express their professional(or unprofessional) opnions based on how they see fit. And pretty much everyone here seems to agree that the parents are possibly “mentally ill’ and unfit as parents to provide care and safety for their children. Not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well. When naming their children after notorious tyrants, mass murderers and criminal organizations will surely result them being victimized, belittled, harrassed and bullied while growing up. And you certainly don’t need to be a “licensed” psychiatrist to figure that out.
“The father says he’s not a racist and I want to know why.”
That’s easy. Nobody believes him. Simply put it this way–
If it walks like a duck, it quacks like duck.

I just read on Fox News.com that the state of New Jersey has removed the children from their parents custody. GOOD! That home and their names are unhealthy for the children.
