I'm not a big fan or Nazi analogies -- they're usually not very helpful. I'd rather leave that rhetoric to the left.

I agree 100% with the first part of your comment -- Dems won't tell us what they stand for. In fact, this article says they can't tell us what they stand for, for a whole variety of practical and philosophical reasons.

If they did tell us, the truth would be too horrible to look at -- it would either be so petty, small and insulting that no one would embrace it, or it would be so large that it would stamp out our core freedoms and prosperity.

Whether you like such analogies or not, they hold pretty true. The most dangerous, core elements of liberalism is the same as existed in Nazi Germany, USSR, Cambodia, etc...

The core elements being Secularism and Socialism. We all KNOW they support THOSE two attributes. Not being a bible-thumper, I still support what is at the VERY LEAST a necessary fiction. Govts MUST recognize some Supreme Being, some law higher than itself. In the absence of a God, neither human life nor anything else can be said to be "Holy". Right and wrong have no absolute meaning, and morality cannot exist. Human life is reduced to a mere resource, as much as a lump of coal, an animal, or a tree, to be used and disposed of as the State deems fit. We see in our society numerous people who think of animals and trees as just that.. equal in value to human life. Human Rights cannot exist in a secular society since that which govt gives, govt can take away, and thus is not a Right at all but is instead a privledge. This is the reason our founders declared that Rights came from the Creator.

These dangerous elements of thought existed in the philosophies of those murderous regimes, and exist within the thinking of the left today. The evils they condemn in Christian history were not caused by religion.. they were caused by religious INTOLERANCE, and now they wish to perpetuate the same evils, the same intolerance, in the name of their god... Secular Socialism.
