It is really not proper to refer to American leftists as “NAZI’s”. The German National Socialists seldom, if ever, referred to themselves as Nazis. They were clear that they were German national socialists.

We must be careful with our language. The American left is indeed an American national socialist movement, and its behavior is somewhat reminiscent of 1930s German national socialists. However, its hatred is chiefly directed against those who promote individual liberty and limited government rather against non-Aryan peoples. For example, the American left hates the tea party movement while it is quite tolerant of oppressive Islamic and socialist states. The American left is much more class-oriented than it is race-oriented, though it does have considerable animus toward Americans who have traditional Western values.

Whether or not you agree with the foregoing, I agree with you: the American left has taken its mask off and, if given the chance, has the potential to become just as reprehensible as the Nazis.

The German national socialists were just as much about class hatred as anything racial. In the beginning it was much more about class and economics than race. They were competing with the communists for the same supporters.

You are spot on with your assessment of where they would take us. The sheeple in this country will rue the day they became sheeple and are unable (unarmed) to protect our country.

“The American left is indeed an American national socialist movement”

So let’s refer to them as ANSIs instead of NAZIs. It’ll make people say “What? Who?” and give us an opportunity to explain it to them without actually using a direct comparison to Hitler’s regime.
