If We're Nazis, Expect More Violence
Townhall.com ^ | July 3, 2018 | Dennis Prager

Posted on 07/03/2018 7:11:22 AM PDT by Kaslin

Because of the ever-descending moral and intellectual state of the mainstream news media, there has been no outcry against the leftists who call President Donald Trump and all Americans who support him Nazis. Indeed, members of the media now regularly do so.

Without that outcry, this labeling will only increase; and this steadily increasing drumbeat of hysteria is likely to lead to one result: violence against conservatives.

It is not plausible to foresee any other outcome of left-wing normalization of the terms "Nazi" and "white supremacist."

The American left has put itself in a moral quandary: Either it doesn't mean it when it calls the president and his supporters Nazis, in which the case it is merely guilty of cheapening -- and, as I explained in my previous column, actually denying -- the Holocaust, or it doesn't mean it, in which case morality demands it take violent action against Trump supporters.

For at least a decade, I have been saying that America is fighting a second Civil War. But I have always added that unlike the first Civil War, this one -- thank God -- is nonviolent.

It's getting harder and harder to assume it will stay that way.

A Senate intern shouts an obscenity at the president of the United States in the halls of Congress and the U.S. senator for whom she works does not fire her.

Left-wing mobs yell and chant "No justice, no sleep" in front of the homes of administration officials.

A Democratic Congresswoman, Maxine Waters, foments such action. "Let's make sure," she tells Democratic mobs, "we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."

The Democratic Party labels political opposition to the president "Resistance," the term used to describe the opposition to the Nazis during World War II.

All these are only the beginning. Few violent movements begin with violence. And when the left sees that these tactics do not undo the last presidential election, some morally consistent leftists could quite possibly take the obvious next step and start targeting Republicans -- as the shooter of Republican Rep. Steve Scalise and four others did.

As one liberal writer, Peter Beinart of the Atlantic, asked nearly a year ago, "If you believe the president of the United States is leading a racist, fascist movement that threatens the rights, if not the lives, of vulnerable minorities, how far are you willing to go to stop it?"

When conservatives -- even one as critical of the president as Ben Shapiro -- need the protection of bodyguards and police officers in riot gear when speaking on an American college campus, it is clear where we are headed. You can get an idea by watching what students did to biology professor Dr. Bret Weinstein, perhaps the only decent faculty member at Evergreen State University, because he refused to cooperate when left-wing students demanded that all whites leave the university campus for a day. Some months later, Weinstein was told by the left-wing university administration it "could no longer guarantee his safety." Weinstein then left Evergreen State for good.

To most of these uneducated leftist snowflakes, “Nazi” merely means “Violent dictators/thugs”, with visions of SS troops, Gestapo, and people loaded into boxcars. They have no sense of the history of that name.

read the political platform in 1932 that the Nationalists Socialist Party offered.

I found the 1920 Platform...

"The Program of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party is a program for our time.

1. We demand the uniting of all Germans within one Greater Germany, on the basis of the right to self-determination of nations.
(Okay, some standard stuff in here...)

2. We demand equal rights for the German people (Volk) with respect to other nations, and the annulment of the peace treaty of Versailles and St. Germain.
(Stupid French...)

We oppose the corrupting parliamentary custom of making party considerations, and not character and ability, the criterion for appointments to official positions.
(Can I put this in capital letters??? LEFT!!!!!)

7. We demand that the State make it its duty to provide opportunities of employment first of all for its own Citizens.
(State required to provide employment? Yeah, LEFT.)

8. Any further immigration of non-Germans is to be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans who entered Germany after August 2, 1914, be forced to leave the Reich without delay.
(Okay, here's an opening for them to exploit)

9. All German Citizens must have equal rights and duties.
(duh)

Breaking the Servitude of Interest.

13. We demand the nationalization of all enterprises (already) converted into corporations (trusts).
(Nationalization of private companies... LEFT)

14. We demand profit-sharing in large enterprises.
(LEFT!!!)

15. We demand the large-scale development of old-age pension schemes.
(demanding government dependency... Left)

16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle class; the immediate communalization of the large department stores, which are to be leased at low rates to small tradesmen. We demand the most careful consideration for the owners of small businesses in orders placed by national, state, or community authorities.
(anti-big-business... Left)

17. We demand land reform in accordance with our national needs and a law for expropriation without compensation of land for public purposes. Abolition of ground rent and prevention of all speculation in land.
(rent control, anti-capitalism, taking private land for public use... Left)

19. We demand the replacement of Roman Law, which serves a materialistic World Order, by German Law.
(anti-Capitalism, definitely Left)

20. In order to make higher education – and thereby entry into leading positions – available to every able and industrious German, the State must provide a thorough restructuring of our entire public educational system. The courses of study at all educational institutions are to be adjusted to meet the requirements of practical life. Understanding of the concept of the State must be achieved through the schools (teaching of civics) at the earliest age at which it can be grasped. We demand the education at the public expense of specially gifted children of poor parents, without regard to the latters’ position or occupation.
(Indoctrination in the schools, thoroughly Left)

21. The State must raise the level of national health by means of mother-and-child care, the banning of juvenile labor, achievements of physical fitness through legislation for compulsory gymnastics and sports, and maximum support for all organizations providing physical training for young people.
(From a Michelle Obama speech?)

a) all editors and editorial employees of newspapers appearing in the German language must be German by race;
(Racial quotas and requirements in employment, The Left controls of the Press's Narrative)

Newspapers which violate the public interest are to be banned. We demand laws against trends in art and literature which have a destructive effect on our national life, and the suppression of performances that offend against the above requirements.
(The Left calls for Right Wing media to be abolished)

The Party... fights against the Jewish-materialistic spirit within and around us,
(anti-Semitism is a Left-wing feature)

25. To carry out all the above we demand: the creation of a strong central authority in the Reich. Unquestioned authority by the political central Parliament over the entire Reich and over its organizations in general. The establishment of trade and professional organizations to enforce the Reich basic laws in the individual states.
(Powerful central government... Left not Right)

The Party leadership promises to take an uncompromising stand, at the cost of their own lives if need be, on the enforcement of the above points.

Munich, Germany

February 24, 1920."

I truly believe more of America is waking up to the fact that they are NOT who they have been told they are. For decades the American left has tried to define their fellow Americans based on tribalism when most of us simply want to live and let live based on merit. The more shrill and disruptive they become the more they push the majority of Americans away.

Dennis understands this if you listen to him, but he is continually fixated on examining the question from an academic perspective. Most of us simply go about our lives based on our Judeo-Christian principles - not on the principles that others label us with.

As for violence from The Left I think MILLIONS on The Right are ready! Not because we think we’re tough or we look forward to spilling blood. Far from it. We are instead just sick and tired of all the threats and violence from The Left.

I feel too that The Right fundamentally LOVES America and The Left fundamentally hates it. There are tens of thousands of examples of this. So, as Thomas Paine once said..”if there is going to be trouble let it be in my day so that our children can live in peace”.

I was sort of hoping that the woman in the black tank top would lose some teeth in that video. She was clearly one of the Antifa/RevCom instigators.

It is abundantly clear who are the neo-Nazis in America today, and it is not those of us who support protecting American interests, including limited Government & individual freedom. The media is engaged in a massive distraction from reality.

To better understand the dynamics:

Compulsion For Uniformity.

To better understand the tactic of misdirection of focus:

War On An American Future; and

Misdirection: Familiar Leftist Tactic.

The Left has abandoned any pretense of decency. How we respond will have an enormous effect on the future. Thank God for a President, willing to stand into the breach.

At some point, every side gets to play the game.

Looking at Portland, that is starting.

Also, if you are going to be called evil for the color of your skin, there is little reason not to really BE evil.

A Freeper used to post “The Civil War Cube”. Look it up, read it, and think about where your work, house, neighborhood, city, and state fall into that. Think about what you will do if/when it goes hot.

And don’t ever go quietly.

A good friend of mine mentioned something the other day

“I tell my liberal friends that my people were kicked up of Germany BEFORE the two world wars.”

Most of mine were too. I did some research and found quite of few of my extended relations ran into trouble with the Kaiser and then the Nazi for having authority issues.

Amen to all that.

Ever read “The Bell Curve”?

Black conservatives are outliers, and may Almighty God bless and keep them safe.

“Dennis, are you ^`\][¤^`| kidding me?!?!? The left in a moral quandary??? No such thing for a leftist. “

The Left believes that anything which advances their agenda is moral.

Eventually an Auntie Faye attack with pipes and chains on a Christian or Conservative parade will be met with gunfire as legally carrying participants defend themselves. When the judge lets them go for legitimate self-defense reasons the hooha will ratchet up to several times what it is now and far more conservatives will begin carrying at ALL times. The Left has declared war in writing and in speech. They will get their war.

Conservatives and even moderates painted with the same brush should take to carrying small (6inch?) mirrors (old circular auto mirror with metal freame probably good ... fits nicely in pockets) with them, and when confronted by theese ranting leftards/gullible-libtards spewing such words, should just silently hold up the mirror pointed at the miscreants reflecting their hypocritical evil back at them.

Will probably enrage the ‘chronically-offendsed’ leftsist further, but maybe bringing this leftis pustule to a head sooner might be best for the country.
