Scott: "What is the original title of Barack Obama's autobiography?"

National Socialism and Communism were not all that different, just a matter of degree. As a matter of fact the plans of FDR looked eerily similar.

Here in America the National Socialist Democrat Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Democrat Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP or simply “the Nazi Party”, or even more simply “the Democrats”) use strongarm tactics to remove Christianity from public view, populate the universities and newsrooms to rewrite history and propagandize the daily news, attack traditional cultural institutions like marriage, the nuclear family, and even the Boy Scouts, and personally destroy scientists and professors who do not toe the line with regard to Democrat Party doctrine on abortion, embryonic stem cells, the environment, and “global warming”.

Naturally, imposing rationed state-controlled health care on the masses, threatening to suppress opposing opinion and free speech through a “fairness doctrine”, and using quasi-terrorist tactics to stonewall any attempt to roll back socialism (for example, legislators in Wisconsin fleeing the state with a clap on the back from Fuhrer Ubama in order to prevent a vote on pending legislation) perfectly fits the modus operandi of America's own 21st century Nazi party.

In other words, America’s Democrats are operating in EXACTLY the same way the original version of their party operated in Germany during the 1930s.

I did computer work for a guy who was a German U-Boat Officer in WWII.

I asked him if he ever met Hitler. He told me, “Yes, Hitler lover the U-Boat. He told me I would never understand the charisma Hitler had, he said you just wanted to do things for him.

In 2003 just before the Iraqi Freedom Campaign started, he told me, the America must defeat this dictator as quickly as possible. He quoted Clausewitz saying a nation has a moral imperative to destroy his enemy as quickly as possible, because only this course of action minimizes loss of life.

He ranted for a good half hour and I was intrigued. He went on a slight tangent saying if France and Great Britain would have shut Hitler down in 1936, they could have stopped him.

Oh well, nice post. I’m just waiting for the next Hitler to start again.

As F.A. Hayek pointed out in "The Road To Serfdom", the main reason the Nazis hated the Communists, and vice versa, was that they were both fighting over the same minds: all the deluded masses, with their differing versions of collectivist authoritarian philosophy.

They were trying to plow the same rich Marxist ground. It was like a Coke vs. Pepsi propaganda war. Whichever one was chosen, it'd still be a Cola who was the winner...
