There will always be great minds who are made great by their hatred of God. Their contempt for Jews follows as the day the night. We are plagued by a barberous mob of great minds who insist we think their thoughts. Curse them all.
Greenfield's right...the people to fear in any time are those who collect and abuse power - and do it well. They're the 'popular ones' - movers and shakers...
In the Jim Crow South it was teachers, mayors, principals, Sheriffs, ministers and the city council members who put the boot on black people's necks.... It wasn't losers living under a rock. The Nazis to fear were the 'acceptable people' of Germany - the ones who kept their flower gardens nice and their parties socially acceptable. It was never a skinhead down at a biker bar or the equivalent.
In our time, the people to fear are liberal elites...
More people are starting to get it... here's a nice link: http://www.wnd.com/2014/05/critic-obama-thinks-political-opponents-are-enemies/#kQ6lRd7F2kHvg04g.99
But not, of course, how there came to be a Holocaust, and what poisonous ideologies led up to it.
In addition to the above-listed mucky-mucks, also in attendance were Liam Neeson, Babs Streisand and James Brolin, Judge Judy, Rita Wilson (Mrs. Tom Hanks) and stepson Colin Hanks, Clooney, Sandra Bullock and Jerry Seinfeld.
In keeping with the solemn nature of an event having to do with the genocide of more than 6,000 people, UKs DailyMail Online ran at least eleven articles about the star-studded gala, two of which indicated that the main reason for Obamas trip to LA was Democrat fundraising, several of which featured the stars photobombing one another, two about how Kim Kardashian was not seated near enough to the President and whether that was intended or taken as a slight against her, one about what Kim Kardashian wore, and one about the Corvette Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scalfia rented in L.A. when they arrived for the event.
Here's a little sampling of the tasteful DailyMail coverage (lots of large photos):
I disagree with Daniel Greenfield about something.
“Holocaust” is a liberal politico-Jewish phenomenon, a creation for the purpose of dramatizing what did not need it -— what occurred in the camps, could not be emphasized. What happened was bad and wrong, and every part of the camps’ administration, from the lowest to the highest, knew it was bad and wrong.
Before the term, “Holocaust,” was echo’d thru the halls of the liberal-[acada-]media, we referred to “the camps” aka “the death camps” but mostly “the concentration camps.”
When you spoke or wrote about “the concentration camps,” you did not find ignorance of them, until along came some socialist (of some type or another) and/or authoritarian race hustlers itching to deny the existence of what so many of our troops had encountered.
Along with elevation of the concentration camps to The Holocaust, came the incredible exclusion of the fact that the concentration camps -— the death camps -— were *not* uniquely Jewish.
Just like that, millions of non-Jews were erased from the terror’s history, by use of “The Holocaust” ... in the liberal media; and only recently, have the (I hate to use the word) statistics returned to mention of how many millions of non-Jews also perished in the camps.
Another casualty of The Holocaust, has been the barrier placed by the leftist/liberal/socialist cousins, between:
a) awareness of the concentration camps, the death camps, and
b) the fact that the perpetrator was unlimited government, seized by and then built up to, a police state.
The police state ... a socialist phenomenon that you would think, a Jewish person would object to and seek to nip in the bud, its rise in centralized, authoritarian (though ostensibly “democratic” as leftists are want to describe their utopian control over all life) ... and eventually totalitarian government.
The NAZI’s, the nationalizing-socialist cousins of leftist-socialism, who fight each other, insisting that the other is “extreme” ... *BOTH* lust for fascism, an economic-and-political blend of production-controls and political-controls that elevate a we-are-sure-that-government-is-the-answer-cult, who, upon gaining government power, then assert a social-superiority of themselves and *their “ideal” of government* over all others: They managed to get their hands on pieces of German police power and subsequently won elections, to the point of gaining the German government, but then *SEIZING* German governance.
Which is something against which, the principles of our country’s Constitutional foundation: original intent, enumeration of powers, counter-balancing branches of government, federalism that balances power between on the one hand our states and on the other hand our federal government ... were built. But now, by the leftist/liberal/socialists, to be bashed with great regularity in the liberal media.
The organization, Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, understands that problem: The realization that unlimited government will occur again in the absence of the people maintaining in their homes and communities, some balance of martial power.
But again, too many are drilled by liberals’ politically correct thought agitprop, to think that The Holocaust was a Jewish phenomenon that ONLY UNLIMITED GOVERNMENT IN THE HANDS OF SOCIALISTS can prevent a reoccurrence.
I beg to differ with all who think that government must grow and grow in order to crush evil people. The Holocaust method of Big Government Used to Crush The Other Guy, is not the way.
The way is, to love people, do your best to speak the truth, and restrain government and government agents who are bent on expanding such agencies’ and agents’ police powers, to the point where the police and judges and community watch zampolit run around abusing people with impunity ... until freedom forces arrive to re-establish liberty.
Government cannot stamp out a hate of people.
Love and limiting government, can at least reduce the problem to a dull roar.
The tragedies of World War II, were the loss of life, and more, the wounding of more life; and all that, because voters would not stand up to resist the expansion of authoritarian and totalitarian government. Neighbors, Jews and otherwise, turned against their neighbors, in order to seek approval of the ever-growing state.
We have to resist that.
I admire Jews who get that, but more: All who get it and dare to resist government tyranny.
