The First Shocking Attack of 2004

Wow! That's pretty scary.

Very impressive article.

Very well written and effective article.

I also agree with you, it is a pretty scary analysis, but unfortunately, the author is right on many points.

Great post! I used to like when Rabbi Lapin would sub on KVI.

Ouch, he makes some very good points in his faux Screwtape Letter from Hitler.

I know, that's why it's scary. I wonder if people (enough of them anyway) will ever wake up and realize how much their freedom is being eroded.

He forgot to mention such things as the Patriot Act and those great American heroes working to protect us in the BATF and IRS....

He's on KTTH 770 now every Sunday evening.

bttt

In english please?

One of the scariest aspects...euthanasia. Scary because right here on the Free Republic posters with long histories have been suggesting euthanasia of aging boomers as the ultimate solution to the looming SS crisis. Not just one poster, not just two and not just one thread. Young Freepers thinking like Hitler...

Those who are advocating Socialism in America, whether deliberately or inadvertently, have succeeded in turning the term "Nazi" into a slur that may only be used against conservatives. Never is it used against those on the left who are precisely the Americans doing most to advance our agenda. We are winning Julius, thanks to those American Democrats, we are winning. Heil Hitler.

A "Democrats are chipping away at our freedoms one year at a time" BUMP!

The Patriot act is to protect us from terrorists. Please do not attack the Patriot Act.

You will catch onto all this stuff soon.

What the heck. Here is the article:

The First Shocking Attack of 2004
by Rabbi Daniel Lapin, Toward Tradition
12 January 2004

I thought it might be interesting to explore what Adolf Hitler himself might have thought of Move On's degenerate derangement.

2004 arrived safely, whispering how successfully the Bush administration has waged our war on terror. Although those who hate us intended us harm, Providence, along with our government's vigilance and preemptive actions, prevented all holiday season attacks. The only shocking attack the New Year brought us was the Democratic organization, Move On's depraved plans to produce television advertising comparing President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler. I thought it might be interesting to explore what Adolf Hitler himself might have thought of Move On's degenerate derangement.

I have no intention of explaining how the correspondence which I now offer to the public fell into my hands. There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. (Preface to The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis)

My Dear Julius,i

Landsberg prison which I entered on April 1, 1924 and where I wrote Mein Kampf, is strangely similar to this place, that I entered after shooting myself to death on the afternoon of April 30, 1945, and from where I write this letter. I found myself in both places involuntarily, yet they have each provided me with peace as well as perspective to write of the ideas that fueled our movement. I dedicated Mein Kampf to the dead heroes of the so-called Beer Hall Putsch who fell on November 9, 1923 with loyal faith in the resurrection of their people.ii I dedicate this letter to you along with the nine other heroes who were martyred at the Nuremberg tribunal and who joined me here on October 16, 1946.

In the timeless eternity of our existence here, I often reflect upon my single biggest mistake -- underestimating America. Early in 1941, Ribbentrop and I promised the Japanese Foreign Minister, Yosuke Matsuoka, that should Japan become engaged in a war against the United States, Germany would join the war immediately. However, to us, the Three-Power Pact had as its goal frightening and keeping America out of the war. I encouraged Japan to immediately take an active part in the war against Englandiii and not to provoke America. Although I didn't see much future for the Americans, I did not want them in the war until we had put down Russia.

Exactly one month after the Japanese betrayed me by attacking Pearl Harbor I told you all at our Berlin headquarters that America is a decayed country. My feelings about America were feelings of hatred and deep repugnance. Everything about the behavior of American society reveals that it's half Judaized and the other half Negrified. How can one expect a state like that to hold together?iv Well, America did hold together and she seized victory from us. However, and this is important my friend, she has finally adopted many of the vital ideas for which we lived and died. Could not this be described as an ultimate victory?

Let me explain. First and foremost we were socialists. As national socialists, or Nazis, we knew that government must control the people. Thus, we understood that the old German tradition of citizens owning guns had to end. On March 18, 1938 we enacted our Law on Weapons and ruled that only government officials were allowed to own firearms. You can imagine my approval as I watched Senator Thomas Dodd craft America's Gun Control Act of 1968 by having our own law of 1938 translated for him by an official of The Library of Congress.v My dear Julius, we can be proud of how similarly the two laws read. Those advocating gun control in America are naïve and well-meaning. They will help socialism prevail. We told the German people that gun control laws were needed to curb gang activity and preserve democracy, what those laws really did was help our national socialist government prevail.

Do you remember, dear Julius, how we Nazis always understood that German citizens were our future and the destiny of our nation. We did everything possible to keep our people healthy. In the same way that wise farmers must accept responsibility for the health of their herds, we used the power of government to keep our flocks healthy. Since both mind and body were supposed to belong to the Fuhrer, we tried to criminalize the smoking of cigarettes.

Our Ministry of Science and Education ordered elementary schools to discuss the dangers of tobacco.vi Government sponsored cultural and educational events were declared to be "smoke-free." In the late 1930s we called for increased taxes on cigarettes and later instituted bans on cigarette advertising. I am most proud of the legislation we introduced prohibiting sales of cigarettes to minors. We set up counseling centers for the psychological treatment of smokers and we established smoke-free restaurants.

We soon managed to prohibit smoking on Luftwaffe properties and followed that with prohibiting smoking in post offices, government buildings and many workplaces. "No Smoking" cars were established on all German trains with fines levied upon violators and in 1940 SS Chief Heinrich Himmler announced a smoking ban for all on-duty police and SS officers. Our comrade, Hermann Goring, decreed that soldiers may not smoke in public and most of our cities banned smoking on public transport in order to protect the ticket takers from the hazards of second-hand smoke. We can indeed be proud that today America has also come to realize the importance of central government taking the initiative in regulating what people do not have the good sense to do voluntarily. We may have lost that battle of ideas in the middle of the twentieth century, but with the help of foolish Americans, we Nazis are winning in the long run.

Do you remember that awkwardness in late 1940, my dear Julius? The American consulate in Leipzig reported to the American State Department, that we were conducting compassionate euthanasia on the patients in the Grafeneck Mental Asylum in Wurttemberg. What uproar resulted in America! But now, one of America's most prestigious universities has appointed as professor of bioethics (whatever that is) one who openly advocates putting to death the mentally defective, the terminally ill and even severely disabled infants. He would give parents and doctors the right to actually kill-not just withhold treatment-imperfect newborns. What genius! The professor insists that a newborn has no greater right to life than pigs, cows and dogs. He is one of us, Julius. And the best part of it is that those who yesterday, loudly protested our comparatively mild policies in Wurttemberg, have today not uttered even a squeak of protest. The ridiculous idea that all human life is sacred is now finally under attack in America. One president was reelected even after he affirmed the legitimacy of exterminating infants during birth and some American doctors in their province of Oregon have begun doing away with the elderly and weak. Yes, America is certainly coming around to our way of seeing things.

Finally dear Julius, you will remember what I frequently said and wrote in Mein Kampf: "The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people."vii I said that as long as we explain how the government is working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation. It is truly heartwarming to see how well this lesson has been learned by some Americans. In the name of "the children," incursions into the private lives of American citizens have been made that we Nazis would have gazed at with open mouthed admiration. Does it matter that our bodies failed as long as our spirit still triumphs?

I know you have a question to ask me, my friend: What about the Jews? After all, how can I say that much of America is adopting our views when Jews still exert such disproportionate influence in that country? Grasp the genius of your Fuhrer, my good friend. You see dear Julius, with well meaning earnestness, most American Jews are solidly behind the ideas I have been describing. In the mistaken belief that they are making America safer for minorities, many American Jews have joined those advocating ever larger and ever more powerful government. In reality, what they are doing is making America more hospitable to our form of socialism. When it eventually arrives, they too will see the real dangers, but by then, it will be too late. Now they only see danger in illiterate thugs with no hair on their heads and in degenerate psychopaths with second hand Nazi regalia. American Jews are frightened by a handful of the sort of lowlifes we used to execute, instead of being terrified of the real danger they themselves are helping to create-government with almost limitless power to tax and grow.

And it wasn't just the Jews. Joseph Goebbels put it quite correctly when he said, "The Fuhrer is deeply religious though completely anti-Christian. He views Christianity as a symptom of decay. Rightly so, it is a branch of the Jewish race."viii We can be confident that America will preserve and develop our Nazi ideas of human perfectability because of one stroke of genius that even Reich minister of propaganda, the great Joseph Goebbels, has to admire. Those who are advocating socialism in America, whether deliberately or inadvertently, have succeeded in turning the term "Nazi" into a slur that may only be used against conservatives. Never is it used against those on the left who are precisely the Americans doing most to advance our agenda. We are winning Julius, thanks to those American Democrats, we are winning. Heil Hitler.

You are correct, the Patriot Act is supposed to protect us from terrorists. The problem I have is that the President, whoever that may be at the time, gets to decide who is and who ain't a terrorist.

With GWB and company in power, shouldn't be a problem. They seem to use their power with good intentions. My problem is IF say Hitlery or Lieingman or Wesley gets elected.

A better respnse to terrorist attacks in our country, IMHO, would have been to arm the pilots of commercial airlines. Allow LEOs to carry their weapons when they fly commercial airlines, and dispatch hunter/killer teams to the terrorists bases of operations and hideouts to find and kill them.

I feel safer since 9/11, but only because I'm better armed and more aware.
