They really have to work to make playing Edelweiss a bad thing. They are sick.
I used to have my late wife play Edelweiss on the piano and sing. It seems to me that all beautiful girls can also sing tho the opposite is not true.
I recently saw a Youtube video of Christopher Plummer singing it in his own voice. He was good enough that I think they should have used it rather than have it dubbed by a very slightly better singer.
Um, Hammerstein was half Jewish plus the song was written in 1959 well after the fall of the Nazis, but I guess everything is related to the Nazis today when it comes to the left.
The leaders are moronialls perhaps?
Meanwhile, the smart guys are getting rich trading stocks, finding incredible bargains at estate sales, and running YouTube channels with huge numbers of viewers.
Just how circumstances or stimuli are perceived by a given individual is a consequence of that person’s mindset. The liberal mindset as opposed to the more rational conservative mindset has been present throughout recorded history. It underscores the theory that political opinions have their ultimate basis in genetically determined hardwired neurons. History has also shown that the liberals whatever time they existed chronically misinterpreted reality and mismanaged. Sadly wherever they came to power, the culture they ruled soon came to an end.
A slow tempo version of Edelweiss is used to open The Man In The High Castle, Amazon’s alternative history drama about an America under occupation after losing WW II.
If the Left wants to “Sh%t Bricks over a fake Nazi song I nominate this one.
“Tomorrow belongs to me”

As a “white Nationals” I endorse this fake Nazi athemn
Unbelievable stupidity. Maggie Haberman should hang her head in shame.
As all the gay guys on Twitter pointed out, it would be one thing if the White House tooted out “Tomorrow Belongs To Me.”
I first heard this song in the Sound of Music. It was sung by the Von Trapp family; Austrians who were FLEEING the Nazis!
How in the same hill did it become a song FOR Nazis???
How many only get broadcast television?
How many people get cable TV?
How many people subscribe to Amazon Prime?
See, each number is smaller than the previous.
By the time you get to Amazon Prime, it's less than 5% of all who have a television.
Of those who get Amazon Prime, how many have watched “The Man in the High Castle”?
So, here is a typical Millennial who thinks everyone watches the same streaming service she does and associates the song with a fiction story about how the Nazis won WWII.
NOT the millions who saw “The Sound of Music.”
BTW, up until at least a decade or two ago many US schools showed The Sound of Music; my school actually took us to a theater were it was playing.
Anyway, Haberman is such a partisan idiot/moron/simpleton she still hasn't grasped how stupid her comment was, and doesn't get what everyone on Twitter is telling her re: the Sound of Music.
It also was the time where Obama said during some utterances that he “didn’t speak much Austrian!!!”
I can’t keep up with all the outrages and offenses.
What this serves to do (besides outing idiots and hateful people) is to put the movie back into the public eye, a narrative that ends with the escape from an exceedingly evil regime.
No wonder cages are rattled.
Edelweiss Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever.
And of course the snarky baroness cracked that she should have brought along her harmonica.
It’s a song about the [free] state, the medina as it were. Much broader application than Austria.
Not insignificant, therefore, that this little star-shaped flower grows at high altitudes and that in Hebrew “edelweiss” = 127, the medina in which the Jews were scattered in the book of Esther, meaning “star” and “hidden”.
Nazis (Amalek, Haman), hidden Jews/flowers (Esther, star), the 127 medina... it’s all in there.
Something is about to go “boom”, like the Establishment Baby Boomers who hate everything that is clean and bright, small and white (like the little stars representing the states of America, or the manna from heaven, or Israel).
What’s the matter with these people?
Good people bloom. Bad people go boom, by their own hand, choices.
Luv this President. He’s Captain von “Trapp”, haha.
We really are living in a movie. Purim is here and is “reel”, x 10,000.
MAGA: Bless my homeland forever.
Look what’s coming up on Monday:
Haman’s downfall and execution by hanging - Nissan 17
Omer: Day Two - Gevurah sheb’Chessed
Tonight Count 3
The third day really is the second day (see Gen 1:8, the place of the third day in the Torah). The first two days are on the first day in verse 5. But who’s counting.
Edelweiss--Band and Chorus of the Infantry Regiment "Gross-Deutschland" (1939)
Mark Steyn is a marvelous scholar with a sense of humor!
I don't follow. How can it be addressed to "Nazis" when only leftys seem to be able to hear it?
He's right!
