‘What Happened’ may be an awkward title, but calling it ‘Mein Kampaign’ might have been a bit much.

Good one!

Dolchstosslegende .... sounds like the operating manual for McNasty, Graham, Ryan, and McConnell.

Interesting read, although I must take exception with one point.

Unless government at the local, state, and federal levels starts taking punitive action against Leftist rioters, we may not make it to 2018, let alone 2020.

You can say THAT again !

The Nazis rode the Dolchstosslegende all the way into power. And to an even more devastating defeat in an even more devastating war all while trying to disprove the fact that America, the United Kingdom, France and Russia really could beat them in a war once there were no more Jews in Germany. You can deny reality, but reality always wins. Unsurprisingly, the Dolchstosslegende was most popular with German military leaders. Likewise the Democrat Dolchstosslegende arose from the ranks of Hillary’s campaign leaders. It’s those in charge of the losing team who have the most incentive to blame anyone and everyone else. The Nazis blamed a long list of people including the Jews. The Democrats blamed everyone from the FBI to the Russians.

Every time I start feeling fear - that democrats might be able to 'do the horror again' I read Greenfield - - and I know for a fact that we will oppose thuggy liberals every step of the way. We are not alone.

You are correct. And the politicization of Law Enforcement must be stopped. That is unacceptable and must be rubbed in their faces.

They smile in yo' face... the Dolcstossen...

I agree, excellent article.

[elcid1970]

“The official birth of the term “stab-in-the-back” [Dolchstosslegende] itself possibly can be dated to the autumn of 1919, when Gen. Eric Ludendorff was dining with the head of the British Military Mission in Berlin, British general Sir Neill Malcolm.

“Malcolm asked Ludendorff why it was that he thought Germany lost the war. Ludendorff replied with his list of excuses, including that the home front failed the army.

“Malcolm asked him: “Do you mean, General, that you were stabbed in the back?” Ludendorff’s eyes lit up and he leapt upon the phrase like a dog on a bone. “Stabbed in the back?” he repeated. “Yes, that’s it, exactly, we were stabbed in the back”.

Hillary’s book’s title needs a question mark:

“What Happened?”

Then public-sector unions must go.

Cops are unionized; unions are communistic. Bosses and chiefs are leftists.

I heard he might really have been Ares. Who knew.
