Look in the mirror, Dufas.
Same to you. YFAHThe said:Who says I'm a conservative? I'll have you
know that I'm one of the founding members

hate everyone equally. This country needs
more PAP! FLNF

The same cannot be said for my Dad. He loved Hitler Youth meetings. It
was great fun, like being in Boy Scouts. My father's young brain
absorbed the ideology like a sponge. He was not the only member of his
family who had bought into the party line. His father (my grandfather),
even though he had Jewish ancestry (his parents were not married, and
his Jewish father had been left off the birth certificate), was a Nazi
with all his heart and soul.
My Dad eventually completely abandoned his former political views. In
fact, he became a progressive. In their younger days, he and my mother
were both active in their union, and my mother is a member of the SPD to
this day (when former chancellor Gerhard Schroeder visited San Antonio,
I got to have a beer with him). When my father moved up in the company,
he would be conflicted during labor disputes since he was now middle
management and couldn't participate in strikes anymore.
In spite of his complete 180, my father never forgot the propaganda he
was subjected to in his childhood. Whenever he was really drunk, he
would start singing Nazi songs, and my mother had to drag him home
before he got beaten up.
Now I am not saying that Republicans are Nazis, but they do employ
totalitarian rhetoric, and sometimes... well, they do sound like Nazis.
Here are some eerie parallels:
- "homeland" and all the imagery connected to it (also prominently
featured in patriotic songs) - Invocation of patriotism, of which there
is supposedly never enough - Glorification of the military while
regarding actual soldiers as disposable - Glorification of motherhood
with ulterior motives (the Lebensborn movement got started with homes
for unwed mothers to prevent abortions) - "We" are the good guys, not
because of what we do (or don't do) but because we say so - "We" are
superior at anything and everything, again because we say so -
Discrimination against a particular minority is morally justified to
preserve national security - Even though racism and gender discrimation
are considered morally right, ideology supercedes racial, ethnic, or
gender affiliation. Minority members are tolerated ("We decide who's a
Jew") and women can have careers if they are useful to the party - A
crime or injustice was committed against us, so we must punish somebody,
whether they had anything to do with it or not - If we lose a war, it's
the left-wing traitors' fault - Everybody else is out to get us, and we
must get them first - Messed up grammar and nonsensical sentence
structures interrupted by bumper sticker-style slogans. If you ever
tried to read Mein Kampf in the original (I don't recommend it), you
would be reminded of a Sarah Palin speech. - speaking of Sarah Palin
rallies, need I say more...
