My Dad was shot down over occupied Europe during the war, eventually captured, and interred in a POW camp in Austria. A few years later he was assigned to an Air Force base in Bavaria.

Of course much of Germany was still rubble in the mid-50s, and we got to see a good bit of it. I was seven when I visited one of the Nazi concentration camps. It wasn't until we were actually there that my parents told me what it was. The most prominent part left standing were the ovens, much of the rest of the camp having been removed. To this day I remember the German guard standing off a way and looking down at his feet, unable to make eye contact.

Half a century later the recollection of that experience still sickens and enrages me. When the left, almost always lacking in knowledge or perspective, casually refer to those of us on the right as Nazis... it is all I can do to restrain myself.

It is amazing how formative an experience like that is and how it makes you, as an adult, consider the world around you and also consider others.

The left drives me nuts with this stuff also, especially considering that much of the way they operate would be more akin to fascism than anything the right does. Seems like the modus operandi for communism and fascism resemble each other significantly.

It seems to me as if Christians and Jews will be on the killing list of the next Meglamaniac who wants to rule the world. When you stop and consider the sort of victimization that is happening to Christians in California at the moment because they choose to exercise their right to vote in a particular direction it makes you wonder when these people will see the voting system as something to toss out ans start over again.
