"Hitler was a liberal"
Edited on Thu Mar-02-06 02:08 AM by expatriot
This is amazing. It is published on Alan Keyes' Renew America.

I am speechless.

Hitler was a liberal

Christian Hartsock
March 1, 2006

It is an indispensable fact that in the absence of love for God resides a lust for power; a yearning to become God. In Sinisterism: Secular Religion of the Lie, a brilliant new book by my good friend and colleague, Bruce Walker, Walker uses "Sinisterism," a term he invented, to denote this godless, narcissistic, relativistic lust for power whose legacy lived particularly in the twentieth century and prevails to this day. As he writes: "I call all the people who lust for power, 'Sinisterists' and their political system 'Sinisterism.' The word sinister comes from the Latin root word for left, which has come to mean creepy and nasty — 'sinister,' in modern usage — so 'Sinisterist' and 'Sinisterism' fit what I mean, well. Sinisterists believe in nothing, really, but power. They use power to hurt to bewilder, to dismay, to complicate, to rob, to cheat, and to use."

In my humble opinion, Sinisterism has been the central governing element of Nazis, Soviets, fascist dictators, militant secularists, radical liberals and the pathetic lowlives at the ACLU. Their collectively shared hatred for God, Christianity, moral values and the value of human life instills in them a spirit of Sinisterism. Contemporary liberals have sought to eliminate acknowledgement of the prevalence of Sinisterism by coming up with labels to equate Nazism with fascism, Christianity and conservatism and liberalism with liberty and liberation. But as Walker writes, "The term 'liberal' has nothing to do with freedom and everything to do with coercion."

Furthermore, Walker effectively deconstructs the semantic stigmas deceptively conjured up by liberals to euphemize their inherent evil. As he writes: "The reality is that Sinisterists sometimes call themselves 'socialists' or 'liberals' or 'progressives,' and that they sometimes call themselves 'Marxists' or 'Trotskyites' or 'revolutionaries,' or that they also sometimes call themselves 'fascists' or 'national socialists' or 'Phallangists' but they are all sibling Sinisterists."

As I mentioned earlier, when liberals are not trying to pass Nazism off as "fascism," they are attempting to pass it off as an extreme form of "conservatism" and an inexorable byproduct of Christianity. In 2003, on his show Scarborough Country, former congressman and current MSNBC personality Joe Scarborough shed light on a college textbook that grouped Rush Limbaugh and Ronald Reagan with Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini as "conservatives." Now how exactly could Hitler, a man who was a strong supporter of social welfare programs, gun control, animal rights, government funding for the arts and bans against smoking in public get away with being called a "conservative"?

The reason is simple. Liberals are such shameless liars and persistent revisionists that they will malign anyone they disagree with as Hitleresque, from the spastic Iraq war protestors comparing George W. Bush to Hitler to Sen. Dick Durbin comparing American troops to "Nazis." Perhaps this is on account of the equivalence of their deep-seated rejection of God to Hitler's militant rejection of God which led to one of the ugliest mass murders in human history. But wait a minute, wasn't Hitler a Christian also?

3. Christian think too mut
Sure:sarcasm:
Sadly, many of his audience will swallow that load as 'plausible'. It'll justify their hate for liberals which has been fertilized for years with corporate media bullshit.

9. Not just the haircut...
The kid is wearing his great grandfather's haircut to boot.

He probably still has his great grandfather's white sheet and hood.

5. Get a load of THIS
<<It is impossible for tyranny, terror and totalitarianism to be carried out in the name of God.>>

Is it actually possible for someone to be this ignorant without forgetting to put clothes on when they leave the house? Has he NO knowledge of European history, how the tyrants and the Church climbed in bed together and savaged the serfs in the name of religion on a daily basis? The Church propped up the crown and the crown propped up the Church.

Does he know nothing about the Inquisition, about the witch trials, about the tyranny imposed by "godly men" upon women and children even here in the new world?

What a little worm.

7. Let's see what's wrong with this...
Edited on Thu Mar-02-06 02:17 AM by rpannier
1) Hitler based much of his organization and philosophy on Benito Mussilini.

2) Hitler purged the Nazi party of Ernst Rohm and other socialists between 1933 and 1934.

3) Hitler persecuted socialists, communists and other leftist thinkers.

4) The Nazi Party's major political allies included, the right-wing Nationalists led by Alfred Hugenberg, the press baron, and his Vice-Chancellor was the ex-Centre Party politician and former Chancellor Franz von Papen.

5) Hitler referred to churches as the "most important factors" for the maintenance of German well-being. Kinda similar to Marx's position of "Religion is the opiate of the masses." If you are totally clueless.

6) One of Hitler's heroes was Dietrich Eckart. Hitler was impressed with Drexler's anti-Semitic, nationalist and anti-Marxist ideas.

7)Fascism by definition attracts big business, landowners, nationalists and reactionaries. Nationalists and Reactionaries are two groups that are definately not progressives.

8. Hitler invaded Poland because it wasn't liberal enough...
He brought liberalism to France, too, and tried to make England liberal. He wanted to make the whole world liberal, but luckily the heroic conservatives stopped him.

If you don't believe me, it's in the Bible.

10. I thought for a second he was describing the present neocon's
junta:

"They use power to hurt to bewilder, to dismay, to complicate, to rob, to cheat, and to use."

I think I'm about to start my own business, selling mirrors...

12. They have been spreading that rumour for eons. Fascists are leftists.
Hitler was a Liberal. While they study the fucker and emulate him - we are all supposed to forget the 20th century because they - like 4 year olds - have discovered the power of myth.

22. " Liberals are such shameless liars and persistent revisionists..."
LOL! If there was ever a more classic example of a strawman.....

That's right Chris, just keep repeating a newly invented word that _ no one _ has ever heard of and claim that, "Contemporary liberals have sought to eliminate acknowledgement of" "it". LMAO


"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.

- Joseph Goebbels


Just keep repeating your mantra, Chris. Afterall, Goebbels says it will work.

** "Sinisterism", Hitler was a liberal, "Sinisterism", Hitler was a liberal, "Sinisterism", Hitler was a liberal, "Sinisterism", Hitler was a liberal, "Sinisterism", Hitler was a liberal, "Sinisterism", Hitler was a liberal, "Sinisterism", Hitler was a liberal, "Sinisterism", Hitler was a liberal, ......


No doubt those unfamiliar with history, will lap it up.



"The national government will maintain and defend the foundations on which the power of our nation rests. It will offer strong protection to Christianity as the very basis of our collective morality. Today Christians stand at the head of our country. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit. We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theatre, and in the press-in short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of LIBERAL excess during the past (few) years."

-- Adolph Hitler

25. I read a "conservative book club" screed
in my college library about 20 years ago. It was called "Ominous Parallels" or something like that. Basically they tried to say that Hitler equals Emmanual Kant. Conservatives really know how to come up with shiiiit. No Kant, no Holocaust, suuuure.

26. You know what the deal is with people like this?
Edited on Thu Mar-02-06 10:45 PM by Jade Fox
They are stupid. They are stupid people who have been told that their ideas are just as good as those of people who have actually studied topics like history, or participated in political process, or just graduated from the school of hard knocks. In short, those who have earned the right to have their ideas published and taken seriously.

These people would be laughable were they not currently so empowered in our country.
