My family isn't Jewish but I have a noticed an odd phenomenon with my Father related to him witnessing the Holocaust at Dachau. For some reason he believes that supporting a party that is "for the people" we can avoid another genocide within our own borders.

I was raised to think that a working party system was the safest for humanity and human rights. I have been told by family that knew my father before the war that he didn't have the same beliefs until his unit liberated Dachau.

It was like the shock of the whole awful ordeal fried a few wires in his psyche when it comes to politics. My brother still follows my father's political beliefs and probably will until the day he dies.

Be wary of any party that proclaims to be "for the people." The Nazis claimed to be for the German Volk and the Soviet communists claimed to represent the oppressed "proletariat." Both sponsored mass murder within their borders and outside.

The Liberal Democrat Party has never been for the people. The Liberal Democrats are out for themselves to satisfy their own personal needs for power and to feed their twisted egos. IMO, they could care less about our country, our freedoms, our security, or our brave troops. They pay lip service to whomever is stupid enough to buy into their self-serving propoganda.
