4. Just because people show some good behavior doesn't mean they aren't still full of evil and hate inside.

Someone who loves their own children but hates immigrants, transsexuals, and even women is not a good person. He's a Republican. They all do this. Then they find out one of their own kids is gay or trans and suddenly they make the stock statement about how it's somehow different because it concerns someone they care about (a pretty blatant admission that they don't care at all about most people, except for their votes).

Maybe the look on his face said "got to raise her right, so she doesn't become some kind of feminist". Or "pray to God she's not a lesbian" and "spare the rod, spoil the child". By the time she reached adulthood, he would have had years of opportunity to warp her mind and brainwash her into voting and acting against her own interests, in favor of all the white males in her life, and in society. To people on the Right, that's what "good parenting" means. Not anything worth celebrating.

I read that quote more as a warning that might have been made about the "Good Germans" -- and not knowing which of your neighbors fall into that category.

Don't judge them by how they treat their kids. That's only the result of natural selection, since they're actually preserving their own gene line by protecting their offspring. Gene lines that possess that behavior find it to be a survival trait.
