What? Have you lost all sense of proportion, all sense of morality or humanity? The socialists that you have so cavalierly lumped together with Hitler... The ones that were the only ones in the whole of the German Reichstag to vote against the Enabling Act, the ones that had the courage, the fortitude, the
balls to continue organizing after the banning of all other political parties in the Reich. The ones beaten in the street by stormtrooper thugs. The ones tortured by the Gestapo. The ones arrested and sent to Dachau or Sachenhausen or any of the myriad of hellish prisons. The ones whose heads were ripped from their bodies with piano wire hung from meathooks after the ’44 coup attempt. The Jewish socialists that were gassed and incinerated at Auschwitz...
You, honestly, with all the Christian morality you can summon... You want to put those dead souls, those martyrs for democracy, you want to put them in the same boat as their murderer?
You want to put Barak Obama in the same boat? The same boat that is littered with the skulls of children, with the ashes of 12 million people slaughtered in the Nazi abbotoirs across Europe? You want to put our President in that boat? The unions, the progressive left... You are putting them in that category?
☺☺☺☺. You.
I’ve stood in the crematoria at Dachau. I’ve seen the urn that holds over a million people. I have met and cried with a survivor who witnessed the horrors you so blithely use for political fodder.
You look them in the eyes, and you minimize their suffering, their loss, their grief, their anger, their cries for justice, and you make the comparison you are unsuccessfully attempting to smear the left with. Your appropriation of their memories to score cheap, misinformed political points is an obscenity. It is disgusting, and it is immoral. You have taken the largest scene of industrialized murder and cheapend it. You and Beck and Limbaugh and the rest of the right-wing nutcases have taken their tombstones and turned it into pavement.
How dare you. You have crossed a line that is simply unforgiveable. I refuse to stand by and allow, to stand silent and therefore be complicit, the murder of 12 million people to be reduced to drive-by political ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺. The God I serve, the Christ that rose from the grave, simply will not allow this.
You are not a martyr. Your freedom is not threatened by people who believe they are racially superior to you. Your freedom, your life is not at risk because you believe that following Christ is more important than following the leader. Your freedom, your life is not at risk because you refuse to believe the lies of a government that is appropriating totalitarian power. Your freedom, your life is not at risk because you oppose euthanasia or eugenics. Your freedom, your life is not at risk because you are engaged in opposition to the gov’t. So stop acting like it is. You, and Beck and Limbaugh are in no way shape or form analogous to the heroes of the German resistance, the Adm. Canaris’, the Bonhoeffers, the Schindlers, the Wallenbergs, the Bp. Bells, the Scholls. Neither you nor I are fit to lick the bottom of their shoes. And yet, you would make the victims the same as the victimizers.
Disgusting.
The time for lessons on political theory, lessons on basic history, lessons on basic meaning of words is over. Either you are intentionally doing this, you are mentally disturbed, or you are mentally disabled. I can offer no other explanation for the repeated correction, the repeated calls to reality that others (even those that agree with you!) and I have asked of you. It would be, at this point, the gracious thing to simply assume you are mentally disabled. But I suspect you are not. I suspect this is intentional sacraIige and intentional obscenity.
And it’s because of the intentional nature of the offense that I expect an apology. Not to me, but to the survivors. To the jews, the gypsies, the homosexuals, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Poles, the Hungarians, the Romanians, the political prisoners, and yes, even the evil socialists for your obscenity. And repentance and forgiveness from God, for making an idol out of your own freedom and your own sense what you think you’re entitled to.
Those of you keeping score at home... This is where the rightwing is going. It is going nowhere but down, because it cannot stand on anything other than vileness at this point. It ahs lost an argument, so it reverts to digging up murdered bones and hurling them at their opponents. Have nothing to do with it. Call it out. Demand a response and demand repentance.
In the name of God, someone stop this!
