Nazi-era Technology Embraced by Republicans in U.S. Congress in the Name of National Energy Security

If the Nazis used it then we certainly should stop the Republicans from doing so.

The Nazis also had Workmans’s Comp and unemployment insurance, if what I have read is true.

[ClearCase_guy]

In short: Republicans are Nazis.

[Domandred]

Love the headline:

Nazis embraced by Republicans.

Yea I know that's not what it said, but targeting skimmers and speed readers that's what the headline is going for.

[Redleg Duke]

Obviously, the only thing the RATS are pushing this year is fear!

[Mr. K]

These a$$wipes couldn’t resist linking Nazi and Republican in the title, could they?

The store has nothing to do with Nazi’s or Republicans

[cripplecreek]

Nazi era? LOL

[thackney]

I see someone could not pass up the opportunity to associate Republicans with Oil, Nazis and Apartheid all in a single article.

Trying to use our own resources to reduce our energy dependence on others should be promoted, not discouraged.

[Lazamataz]

Wow. The slant is awful on this article. To link Nazism to Republicans because they want to use a technology invented by them, is really an incredible level of bias.

How about this as a comeback: "Democrats Embrace Hitler-Designed Nazi-Era Cars (Volkswagons)"

How do you think we got to the moon, missile technology and jet planes.

From captured Nazi's scientist.

So this is the best propaganda that these libtard morons can come up with?

YAWNNNNNN

[MNJohnnie]

When you have to engage in this sort of hysteric hate speech to promote your political dogmas, you have all ready lost the debate.

[Tallguy]

Using the term “Nazi-technology” in connection with the Fishcher-Tropsch process is equivalent to calling the Theory of Relativity “Jewish Physics.” IOW’s it’s inflammatory as well as flat-out ignorant.

[Ham Hock]

Not only that, but they manage to do it on the anniversary of D-day.

[DBrow]

“Trying to use our own resources to reduce our energy dependence on others should be promoted, not discouraged. “

The greens and lefties howl loudest against projects that actually reduce our dependence on foreign oil. A flap recently about not being able to build substations in the USA for a power line from a hydro plant is one example.

[BitWielder1]

The Volkswagen exists as a result of a Hitler dictate.
Shall we get all of them off the road now?

[Pontiac]

How about this as a comeback: "Democrats Embrace Hitler-Designed Nazi-Era Cars (Volkswagons)"

Nazis approved of abortion of a less than perfect fetus (for the good of the state).

Now that is an effective parallel.

[Steel Wolf]

Nazi-era technology? What kind of hack writer penned this abomination of a phrase?

Does this mean that any technology in use within the 20-odd years of German National Socialism is somehow tainted with evil? Would you reference visiting Nazi-era Hoover Dam, building the Nazi-era Golden Gate Bridge, or talk about the Nazi-era New Deal by Nazi-era Roosevelt?

The point of the article, inane as it is, points more towards a 'Nazi-used' fossil fuel refining technique. Which is as stupid as refusing to use rockets or jet aircraft because the people who pioneered their use were bad.

Did I mention this article was stupid? I feel like I've not touched on that enough.

“If the ideological footprint of Fischer-Tropsch is vile, then its environmental impact is even worse. Quite aside from the ideological concerns, fuel derived from the FT process has a carbon footprint 118 percent greater than that of conventional gasoline.”

John Daly must be some kind of Greenie. In which case, I’m ALL FOR this vile carbon creating technology!

[Lazlo in PA]

First off, where is the BARF alert. This is left wing propaganda.

If Congressional Republicans have their way, then the U.S. military will soon be fueled by an environmentally filthy technique that allowed the Nazi war machine to kill tens of thousands of allied troops and Pretoria to number thousands of black South Africans, all the while producing massive amounts of greenhouse gases, all in the name of corporate profits and U.S. energy “national security,” not to mention a revival of nuclear power in the U.S., an alarming prospect in the wake of Japan’s Fukushima catastrophe.

Yes. The GOP wants to kill everyone by polluting the world. Nuclear Power is dangerous and will kill everyone, which is why the GOP is pushing it. Screw that. We all know where this Rat is going with the NAZI reference.
