I read Mein Kampf years ago for a class on the Third Reich. It was easily the second most painful thing I ever tried. The orange menace takes too spot today.

the wailing and gnashing of teeth would be heard for years. This won't get much notice, I'll bet.

Too many times Democrats allow these jerks to get away with their trash, it is about time that they are outed. He quoted Hitler? Then he must be agreeable to Hitler, why not say it? why not expose the obvious?

Hey, Mo - you DO realize the Nazi party stopped being socialist nearly immediately after Hitler took power, right?

Right?

I mean, I know you can't be bothered with facts, because hell, you've dumbed yourself and your party down since the days of Ike.

But you maybe should read a couple of things on the Third Reich, like William Shirer's 'Rise and Fall,' or maybe Toland's 'Hitler.' If you read these actual histories, you will discover that Hitler downplayed the socialist portions of the Nazi platform because he needed the help of the industrialists - both financial and for purposes of legitimacy.

The Nazi party was based on racism, not socialism.

Then he would find out that the abbreviation-loving Germans (like all Europeans) just took the first two syllables of "National" as the word is pronounced in German ("NAH-tsee-oh-nahl" ) for the short name of Hitler's party.

Ironically, when the war was over, the Soviet occupiers instituted "realexistierender Sozialismus (really existing Socialism)" into "their" part of Germany, which was so fabulously wonderful that people risked, and sometimes lost, their lives to get get away from it.
