I found the author of the Bush playbook

[Fresh_Start]

“How fortunate for leaders that men do not think.”
“Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless.”
“Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.”
“It is not truth that matters, but victory”
“I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few”
“Success is the sole earthly judge of right and wrong.”
“The very first essential for success is a perpetually constant and regular employment of violence”
“Humanitarianism is the expression of stupidity and cowardice”
"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies, but would be ashamed to tell big lies."
"Why nationalize industry when you can nationalize the people?"
"The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life."

3. Hitler was a Catholic and spoke frequently about

the role of Christianity in society.

German troops were converted if they were not already Christians and they were sprinkled with holy water before battle.

9. I found that Hitker quote elsewhere here on DU

Just to be sure, I Googled it, and it looks to be quite authentic. But here's something else I came upon in my search:

The Most Famous Christian of the 20th Century?

Hint: He was born in Austria, tried to take over the world, and no, he’s not the Governor of California.

By Robert Flynn

Here’s a little trivia question for you. Who was the most famous Christian of the 20th century?

Mother Teresa? Nope. Billy Graham? Nope. Martin Luther King, Jr.? Guess again. Albert Schweitzer, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, any and all popes, any and all U.S. presidents…Nah, throw ‘em out.

The most famous Christian of the 20th century was A_____ H_____.

5. Hitler was apparently founding father of religious right

Parallel to the training of the body a struggle against the poisoning of the soul must begin. Our whole public life today is like a hothouse for sexual ideas and simulations. Just look at the bill of fare served up in our movies, vaudeville and theaters, and you will hardly be able to deny that this is not the right kind of food, particularly for the youth...Theater, art, literature, cinema, press, posters, and window displays must be cleansed of all manifestations of our rotting world and placed in the service of a moral, political, and cultural idea.

6. Great post.

I'll have to save those quotes.

8. I read mein kampf before 2004 election

trying to figure out why so many Americans were so blind. He wrote about propaganda. Its was scary at how fluidly the right adopted his directions.

7. More playbook

The greatness of every mighty organization embodying an idea in this world lies in the religious fanaticism and intolerance with which, fanatically convinced of its own right, it intolerantly imposes its will against all others.
- Mein Kampf Vol. 1 Chapter 12

Thus inwardly armed with confidence in God and the unshakable stupidity of the voting citizenry, the politicians can begin the fight for the 'remaking' of the Reich as they call it.
- Mein Kampf Vol. 2 Chapter 1

In relation to the political decontamination of our public life, the government will embark upon a systematic campaign to restore the nation’s moral and material health. The whole educational system, theater, film, literature, the press and broadcasting – all these will be used as a means to this end.

Woman's world is her husband, her family, her children and her home. We do not find it right when she presses into the world of men. - Adolph Hitler

The Government, being resolved to undertake the political and moral purification of our public life, are creating and securing the conditions necessary for a really profound revival of religious life.
- Adolph Hitler, in a speech to the Reichstag on March 23, 1933

"No matter what amount of talent is employed in the organization of propaganda, it will have no result if due account is not taken of these fundamental principles. Propaganda must be limited to a few simple themes and these must be represented again and again. Here, as in innumerable other cases, perseverance is the first and most important condition of success."
Mein Kampf

"I shall give a propagandist reason for starting the war, no matter whether it is plausible or not. The victor will not be asked afterwards, whether he told the truth or not. When starting and waging war it is not right that matters but victory. Close your hearts to pity. Act brutally, eighty million people must obtain what is their right. Their existence must be made secure. The strongest man is right."

"We stand for the maintenance of private property... We shall protect free enterprise as the most expedient, or rather the sole possible economic order."
