What does it really mean when you call someone a Nazi? If you type in the word “Nazi” into the German to English translation tool on this website http://translation.babylon.com/german/, you get the following translation:
n. Nazi; national-socialist, member of the German National Socialist Party that governed in Germany under the leadership of Adolf Hitler from 1933-1945
I am getting sick and tired of the left trying to equate the Republican Party with the Nazi party, when in reality the Democrats have more in common with Nazi’s than the Republicans ever will. I suggest you take the time to read this whole article before you make and uninformed, opinionated comment.
Let’s take a look at the true history of these similarities: First of all Woodrow Wilson, one of the early leaders of the Progressive movement in the US, enhanced racial segregation in the military. This set back much of the progress that had been made following the Civil War. It should also be noted that Blacks fought in the Revolution and Civil Wars in exchange for their freedom.
One of Hillary Clinton's heros is Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, as well as a leading advocate for legalized birth control, was also a know eugenicist. Sanger was a proponent of negative eugenics, a social philosophy which claims that human hereditary traits can be improved through social intervention. Sanger's eugenic policies ran to an exclusionary immigration policy, free access to birth control methods and full family-planning autonomy for the able-minded, and compulsory segregation or sterilization for the profoundly retarded.
Many know of Adolf Hitlers genocide against the Jews during WWII, as well as his desire for Germany to be a “Master Race”. But the concept of a white, blond-haired, blue-eyed master Nordic race didn't originate with Hitler. The idea was created in the United States, and cultivated in California, decades before Hitler came to power. California eugenicists played an important, although little known, role in the American eugenics movement's campaign for ethnic cleansing.
Only after eugenics became entrenched in the United States was the campaign transplanted into Germany, in no small measure through the efforts of California eugenicists, who published booklets idealizing sterilization and circulated them to German official and scientists.
Hitler studied American eugenics laws. He tried to legitimize his anti-semitism by medicalizing it, and wrapping it in the more palatable pseudo-scientific facade of eugenics. Hitler was able to recruit more followers among reasonable Germans by claiming that science was on his side. While Hitler's race hatred sprung from his own mind, the intellectual outlines of the eugenics Hitler adopted in 1924 were made in America. Rockefeller and Carnegie even made donations to various German research facilities to further eugenics research. To learn more of this connection read “The Horrifying American Roots of Nazi Eugenics”, written by Edwin Black and posted on George Mason University’s History New Network.
Under another Progressive Democrat, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, hundreds of thousands of Japanese were rounded up and put into internment camps, much in the way the Germans rounded up the Jews. Many of those arrested were rounded up simply because of their ancestry. In many cases, these were descendants Japanese immigrants several generations deep. Many didn’t even know how to speak Japanese. As we move into present day, the resurgence of Socialist Progressive thought is beginning to encroach on our liberties. Already, the government is trying to silence dissenting thought and speech. The White House’s “War On Fox News” is and attempt at censorship straight up. Can you imagine if George Bush had a “War on MSNBC”? People would be outraged. There is also the attempt to discredit the Tea Party movement, which I must say have been very peaceful and without any destruction or violence. Unfortunately, this can’t be said about the Arizona Immigration protests, where we saw a law enforcement officer hit in the head with a water bottle, as he was trying to protect the protesters.
Then we have the takeover of the auto industry, banks, with attempts to take over wall street, as well as the insurance and health care industries. Further, there are more mandates coming at us: fines for not having health care, restrictions on the types of foods available, limits on salt content, etc. It is expected that cap and trade is coming in the near future. This will raise energy costs and limit travel, further restricting our mobility. So to the Liberals out there, the next time you want to call someone a Nazi, remember you are calling them a socialist. Also, it should also be known, that all of the dictators and despots in the world currently, such as Hugo Chavez, Kim Jong IL, Hu Jintao, and others are either Communist or Socialist Dictators. I am not seeing any right-wing fanatic dictators, who follow the Republican Conservative model, in the world right now.
Just thought I should point this out. Thanks for reading.
