Nicholson Baker and Pat Buchanan are high on the list of Osama Bin Laden's "Favorite Infidels". They have done the impossible. They have written well-selling books proclaiming that World War II should NOT have been fought. Sir Winston Churchill was the real villian of the Forties they claim. They claim that World War II marked the destruction of the West. Because Britain, France and The Netherlands were bled white by the war, they could no longer hold on to their colonies.
Aw pshaw.
To digress a moment, young presidential candidate Adolf Hitler perceived a problem selling Nazism to the German people. [I wonder why?]. To his rescue came Dr. Josef Goebbels. He told that much maligned and misunderstood man [apparently--if we are to accept the premises of these two pieces of literary excrement] that the solution was to simply tell a Big Lie [not a small one, mark you] and repeat it over and over.
Well, poor Hitler didn't get the presidency, but the Nazi gains in the Reischstag and their repeated, energetic attacks on the Weimar State so weakened the Republic that by 1933 the guy who won the presidency had to make Hitler the Chancellor...the real power in the Government.
Score one for Dr. Goebbels.
Well folks...believe it or not....he's back. And as Madison Avenue would say, he's bigger and better than ever. There is even two of him! Deft, Dextrous [see amazon's product page for the book] Nicky Baker and Ol' Archconservative Pat Buchanan.
The Big Lie was probably just a matter of time...for two reasons. The first is that Lyndon Baines Johnson told so many little ones about Vietnam that Bill and Hillary Clinton were able to tell lots of little ones about anything and everything...even things they didn't have to. The second is that the Big Lie told by Pat and Nicky is the ONLY WAY America and Europe will sit still for another Holocaust.
You see the jihadists need to stage another Holocaust to please their god.
And according to the British Government, ALL Muslims are offended by mention of the Holocaust. That's why the British Goverment ordered its teachers to STOP teaching the Holocaust to British children.
Maybe there are three Dr. Goebbelses. Add the Rightly Dishonourable UK Minister of Education.
Anybody else want to get on the Bandwagon? Any frustrated Nazis out there itching for another shot at the Jews, the Slavs, the Catholics, the gays and the gypsies? How about the California "Minister of Education"? You already force Jewish and Christian children to take Muslim names and pray to Allah on prayer rugs. Why not go all the way? How about the defeatists in Israel? Ye who desecrate the agony of your ancestors and demean the War of Survival?
There is still time to get on the Favorite Infidel List. I'm sure you'll get lavender scented gas when it's your turn.
World War II was unnecessary?
I suppose Hitler didn't keep conquering countries as Chamberlain kept trying to appease him. I suppose Hitler never divested a whole ethnic group of their property and civil rights...then starved and killed them in awful camps.
I suppose the Japanese were never conducting genocide on the Pacific Island territories given to them by League of Nations mandate or in China or Manchuria.
I suppose ALL OF THIS was never done BEFORE A SHOT WAS FIRED by the Aliies....
My only beef with World War II is it caused the Imperialist countries to be inundated with Muslim refugees who are offended both by the freedoms Europeans have and mention of the Holocaust. [The Netherlands: Dutch East Indies, France: Morocco,Tunisia and Algeria and Britain: India and Palestine]. That's what you get for Imperialism guys. The question is what are you going to do about it? Are you next going to give up your precious freedoms because they too are offensive to Muslims?
To Ol' archconservative Pat, Deft and Dextrous Nicky and the Rightly Dishonourable UK Minister of Education: may all your teeth fall out the day before Thanksgiving.
I've seen saner people in mental hospitals.

Pat Buchanan is not “archconservative”. He is an antisemitic Nazi-sympathizing dhimmi.
“My only beef with World War II is it caused the Imperialist countries to be inundated with Muslim refugees who are offended both by the freedoms Europeans have and mention of the Holocaust.”
So what’s the answer, Ole Blog Pimper?
Goebbels must be alive and well from his grave. Obama is now going to give his Denver acceptance speech from the 75,000 seat Mile High Stadium. Will we have torch light marchers on the stadium floor? I don’t think the music will be Deutschland Uber Alles, but I am sure they will get Springstring et. al. to work the audience to a lather. Nurenburg II.
LOL!
Remember what Sgt. Tyree said in the John Ford movie SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON?
Tell me what you think...Ol’ Blog Reader...
This is precisely the kind of error that Buchanan and his ilk like to exploit.
Here's a question - why is Buchanan so upset over the UK's loss of its empire when he is a dyed-in-the-wool isolationist?
Why is he not lauding the UK for disentangling itself from its overseas adventures and proudly congratulating the Little England movement for this great achievement?
I’ll reserve judgment on Pat Buchanan’s latest literary work until he releases the audio book version in the original German.
No argument there, Solid Wood.
Amen Brother...
As an aside, it was Hitler’s original intention (as I recall reading history) to win the Presidency in order to dismantle the Weimar Republic from the top down. Hindenburg stood in the way and had little regard for Hitler, who he viewed as an incompetent Corporal of World War I and a gasbag.
Too bad Hindenburg didn’t stand his ground instead of allowing himself to be pressured into naming Hitler to the Chancellor’s position.
I agree Pat is not archconservative. However, neither is he a Nazi sympathizer nor anti-semitic. (Though I wouldn't argue with applying the word broadly to some of his earlier writings.)
When you boil down this new thesis, it is simply that Winston Churchill should never have promised Poland that England would go to war to save it from the Nasties, since it was a cold certainty that England would be unable to do so. He takes it a step further, and says Churchill should not have promised it even if England could have delivered on the promise.
No argument there.
Well, thats that, then.
I hope you weren't expecting a discussion or anything.
I think the obvious, which you do too, is to quit the political correctness and worrying about offending someone, and make them live by our laws. Otherwise, they can get out of our country and go back from where they came. I do agree with your article too!
I've already added Buchanan to my list of subjects for which there is only one correct opinion.
I beg to differ wide awake..he did indeed run for the presidency of the Weimar republic...if Deft and dextrous or Ol Pat wanna exploit that as an error...that’s just another thing they have wrong. Goebbels ran the presidential campaign...its theme was “Hitler Over Germany” playing off the fact that Hitler did most of his campaign travelling by plane, one of the first modern politicians to do so.
As to your question...you’re not expecting me to get inside that man’s head, I’m sure, but many isolationists supported the British Empire because the Royal Navy kept a peaceful staus quo. It was good for business and didn’t cause the American taxpayer a cent.
AMEN caver.
He was on the ballot, but he never expected to win the Presidency outright - he wanted to see his party become the central bloc in the parliament, so that he would be pulling the strings.
That is why President Hindenburg appointed him Chancellor in 1933.
It was a little more complicated than that.
The Presidency was not the key to this process: the Chancellorship was.
The President was not permitted dictatorial power, but he was permitted to give the Chancellor dictatorial power.
Hitler did not want to grant someone else dictatorial power - he wanted to have dictatorial power.
