What liberals do not want to acknowledge is that the Nazi and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) were all Socialist States. Their anger is what drives them to be socialists and they blind themselves to the truth, including the truth that Socialism is nothing but Marxism, driven by anger and enforced with that anger. It is brutal and destructive, but they hate free societies where people succeed and fail by their own effort. They are angry children and cheer when anything that remotely resembles the free world takes a blow. By the time they get over their anger they are the subject of it and then find it unfair. For many, this time surpasses their own lives with Marxism living decades past its prime.

Fighting Marxism is not just a selfish act of desire; it is saving the future generations from the brutality of Carl Marx, an angry child lashing out at perceived injustices that never existed.

Today's post is all religion. The lead story reports on persecution of Jews towards the end. That is already becoming so common as to not merit a story of its own. Then there is a short piece explaining why the Nazis are mad at Churchill. The next article records President Roosevelts letter to the National Eucharistic Congress in New Orleans.

"'That religion or the duty which we owe to our Creator . . .'"

"May your prayers hasten the day when both men and nations will bring their lives into conformity with the teachings of Him, who is the Way, the Light, and the Truth."

Either of those quotes, if uttered today by a president with a democrat congress, would touch off impeachment hearings.

Good background for the upcoming seizure of rabbis by Obama.

Hitler himself toyed that autumn with the idea of trying to detach France from her ally over the Channel. When on October 18 he received the French ambassador, Francois-Poncet, for a farewell visit in the eerie fastness of Eagle’s Nest, high above Berchtesgaden on a mountaintop, he broke out into a bitter attack on Great Britain. The ambassador found the Fuehrer pale, his face drawn with fatigue, but not too tired to inveigh against Albion. Britain re-echoed “with threats and calls to arms.” She was selfish and took on “superior” airs. It was the British who were destroying the spirit of Munich. And so on. France was different. Hitler said he wanted more friendly and close relations with her. To prove it, he was willing to sign at once a pact of friendship, guaranteeing their present frontiers (and thus again renouncing any German claims to Alsace-Lorraine) and proposing to settle any future differences by consultation.

I'm sorry to pick on Lucky Lindy, but it's in the history books and it will be front page news tomorrow-Homer.

On October 19, 1938, three weeks after Munich, [Charles] Lindbergh [was] awarded – and . . . accepted - the “Service Cross of the German Eagle with Star.” This was the second highest German decoration, usually conferred on distinguished foreigners who, in the official words of the citations, “deserved well of the Reich.”

I'm dropping back six days to post this update. It didn't seem right to add it to a football thread.

THE TURN OF POLAND

ON OCTOBER 24, 1938, less than a month after Munich, Ribbentrop was host to Jozef Lipski, the Polish ambassador in Berlin, at a three-hour lunch at the Grand Hotel in Berchtesgaden. Poland, like Germany and indeed in connivance with her, had just seized a strip of Czech territory. The luncheon talk proceeded, as a German Foreign Office memorandum stressed, "in a very friendly atmosphere."

Nevertheless, the Nazi Foreign Minister lost little time in getting down to business. The time had come, he said, for a general settlement between Poland and Germany. It was necessary, first of all, he continued, "to speak with Poland about Danzig." It should "revert" to Germany. Also, Ribbentrop said, the Reich wished to build a super motor highway and a double-track railroad across the Polish Corridor to connect Germany with Danzig and East Prussia. Both would have to enjoy extraterritorial rights. Finally, Hitler wished Poland to join the Anti-Comintern Pact against Russia. In return for all these concessions, Germany would be willing to extend the Polish-German treaty by from ten to twenty years and guarantee Poland's frontiers.

Ribbentrop emphasized he was broaching these problems "in strict confidence." He suggested that the ambassador make his report to Foreign Minister Beck "orally—since otherwise there was great danger of its leaking out, especially to the press." Lipski promised to report to Warsaw but warned Ribbentrop that personally he saw "no possibility" of the return of Danzig to Germany. He further reminded the German Foreign Minister of two recent occasions—November 5, 1937, and January 14, 1938—when Hitler had personally assured the Poles that he would not support any change in the Danzig Statute. Ribbentrop replied that he did not wish an answer now, but advised the Poles "to think it over."
