Obama Vows ‘Never Again’ on Holocaust Remembrance Day:...
The Blaze ^ | 1/27/2013 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 01/27/2013 8:39:44 PM PST by Optimist

President Barack Obama on Sunday paid tribute to the victims of the Holocaust by vowing to “stand in the way of any tyrant or dictator who commits crimes against humanity.”

“We honor the memories of the 6 million Jews and millions of other innocent victims whose lives were tragically taken during the Holocaust over sixty years ago,” Obama said in a statement marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day. “Those who experienced the horrors of the cattle cars, ghettos, and concentration camps have witnessed humanity at its very worst and know too well the pain of losing loved ones to senseless violence.”

Obama has invoked the phrase “senseless violence” multiple times in his push for more gun control following the Newtown, Conn. massacre.

Jan. 27 marks the anniversary of the 1945 liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp, designed as part of the Nazis’ “Final Solution” to systematically exterminate the Jews — a deliberate act that while incomprehensible, was hardly “senseless.”

Obama said while Holocaust remembrance is a time for mourning and reflection, “it is also the time for action.”

“On this day, we recall the courage, spirit, and determination of those who heroically resisted the Nazis, exemplifying the very best of humanity,” he said. “The United States, along with the international community, resolves to stand in the way of any tyrant or dictator who commits crimes against humanity, and stay true to the principle of ‘Never Again.’”

“By remaining vigilant against those who seek to perpetrate violence and murder, we honor those we lost during one of the darkest periods in human history. And we keep their memory alive for generations to come,” he said.

Obama has taken the most horrific event in Jewish history and turned it around into a pitch against gun violence.

“By remaining vigilant against those who seek to perpetrate violence and murder, ..."

What is unspoken and purposely avoided or misunderstood is the fact that the true lesson of The Holocaust is NOT vigilance against men but rather against GOVERNMENTS who seek to perpetrate violence and murder.

Obama redefines shameless about as often as he redefines the Constitution.

Obama does not even understand what he is saying to millions of us because he does not understand liberty since he is a communist; like Hillary Clinton. Their meaning of liberty is we must conform to their way of thinking. The nation has been overtaken by these enemies to liberty. People have been warning others for a very long time that this is happening while being referred to as extreme.

“Those who experienced the horrors of the cattle cars, ghettos, and concentration camps have witnessed humanity at its very worst and know too well the pain of losing loved ones to senseless violence.”

I dont know what difference it makes, but that's just weird. It's "off". "Those who experienced" such things are the ones who were killed, except for a very few. And then "senseless violence" is way off. Gee, where have I heard that phrase before?

My conclusion? Nothing means anything to this guy.

Sandy Hook really was senseless violence.

The Holocaust was a carefully planned, meticulously executed social operation engineered by idealists who were sure they knew better than everyone else. Utopian societies come in many forms, Barry.

The Holocaust was based on “sensible” ideas. Let’s be sensible. Who needs an AR-15?
