This time the guilt by association is well earned. If conservatives remained quiet, the left would paint us all as anti-semitic Nazis because some supporters of eugenics were on the right. Actually there were just as many leftists who supported eugenics, however (like the founder of Planned Parenthood). But conservatives don't keep quiet and allow the association. We condemn David Duke and neo-Nazis. We can only assume that Muslims who do not speak out and condemn the radicals, condone the violence. They are either with us, or against us. There is no middle ground on terrorism.
Nazis were socialists, National Socialist Worker's party.
DO NOT allow the left to label us as Nazis!!
Hitler was Pro-Gun control, Pro Abortion, Pro Euthanasia, Pro Animal Rights (he was a vegetarian), Anti-Tobbacco, An Environmentalist. Does that sound familiar?
Here are some interesting quotes
"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system
for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries,
with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and
property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all
determined to destroy this system under all conditions."
--Adolf Hitler, May 1 1927
(Sounds like Ralph Nader!)
"Most cruel joke of all, however, has been played by Hitler & Co. on
those German capitalists and small businessmen who once backed National
Socialism as a means of saving Germany's bourgeois economic structure from
radicalism. The Nazi credo that the individual belongs to the state also
applies to business. Some businesses have been confiscated outright, on
other what amounts to a capital tax has been levied. Profits have been
strictly controlled. Some idea of the increasing Governmental control and
interference in business could be deduced from the fact that 80% of all
building and 50% of all industrial orders in Germany originated last year
with the Government. Hard-pressed for food- stuffs as well as funds, the
Nazi regime has taken over large estates and in many instances collectivized
agriculture, a procedure fundamentally similar to Russian Communism."
(Source: Time Magazine; Jaunuary 2, 1939.)
"The Fuhrer is deeply religous, though completely anti-Christian. He views
Christianity as a symptom of decay. Rightly so. It is a branch of the Jewish
race... Both [Judaism and Christianity] have no point of contact to the
animal element, and thus, in the end, they will be destroyed. The Fuhrer is
a convinced vegetarian, on principle. His arguments cannot be refuted on any
serious basis. They are totally unanswerable."
---Joeseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda
Even as late as February 5, I941, Adolf Hitler boasted in a speech that,
"basically, National Socialism and Communism are the same." [The Nazi high
command was, of course, riddled with Communist agents. See Walter Goerlitz,
History Of The German General Staff, Praeger Inc., New York, 1953.]
(Don't forget that the Nazis and Commies invaded Poland in 1939 and marched the streets in victory together, and that after the war was over, many high ranking Nazis went to work for the Commies in East Germany)
Finally, one should recognize why the left continues to refer to the right
as "Nazis", even though we support Israel and are opposed to Hitler's
agenda. It's propaganda that the Central Committee of the Communist Party
stated in 1943:
"Members and front organizations must continually embarrass, discredit and
degrade our critics . when obstructionists become too irritating, label them
as fascist or Nazi or anti-Semitic . Constantly associate those who oppose
us with those names that already have a bad smell. The association will,
after enough repetition, become 'fact' in the public mind."
In fact, after the war, if you were against Stalin, you were labeled as a "Nazi". This is what happened to George Orwell.
