Featured Liberals are the true heirs of the Nazi spirit

He still at it guys. Some people never learn.

 

Actually, I don't think this is an especially relevant question. Would anyone here really argue that there was a significant difference between Lenin and Hitler? Lenin is viewed by Marxist-Leninists as a champion of socialism and the working class, while critics on both the left and right see him as the founder of a totalitarian dictatorship responsible for mass human rights abuses. But generally speaking Lenin represents the extreme left (Communism) while Hitler represents the extreme right (Fascism). It's obvious to me that extremists at either end of the political spectrum are the enemies of freedom and democracy.

So the question for me is who today represents such a threat to freedom. I believe that president Trump represents such a threat.

In an interview for Sunday’s “Meet the Press” with Chuck Todd, McCain was asked about Trump’s Friday tweet that the press is the “enemy of the American people.”

The Arizona senator warned that a free press is “vital” in order to “preserve democracy as we know it.”

“And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That’s how dictators get started,” McCain said, clarifying he was not calling Trump a dictator but warning that dictators start by “suppressing free press” and “we need to learn the lessons of history.”

Hitler was a socialist. There was nothing "right" about him.

 

Hitler went after the Communists first. Then he went after the Social Democrats (socialist-leftists). Then he went after the Democratic Party (center-left), then the Catholic Center Party. Finally the German Nationalist Party (right). So, if there was nothing "right" about him, why did he leave the right wing parties for last?

The Nationalist Social Germans Workers Party Nazi was, on many issues, a right wing party.

 

Why did Hitler attack the left so hard? That's where all the Jews were.

 

Hmmm. I think this is wrong. Left right is not meaningless. It's actually a description of biblical vs. non-biblical government. IMO, anarchy vs. totalitarianism is another gage entirely that doesn't really touch the issue of biblical governing principles.

 

What do you mean, "went after"? Hitler killed a lot of people, conserves liberals and in between. That was nothing to do with his political leanings.

 

Without saying I know this is wrong, I'll disagree and make the case. For your consideration: Biblical principles laid out in Romans 13 and also other principles in the Mosaic law were used by our founders to create our government. We're not like Israel per se, but use many moral biblical principles. Therefore, to conserve is to go back to those founding principles. This is what the right is all about.

Concepts like nationalism, patriotism protection of life and liberty, protection of marriage are all on the right side of politics. Also things like law enforcement, the punishing of evil and protection of the innocent. Also things like national security. All of this is representative of the right.

Representative of the left is open borders, distortion of marriage, undermine of the police, undermine of the military, the favoring of criminals over victims, the dehumanizing of the unborn, globalism (one world government), etc.

I think only left and right describes and compares these issues, not merely anarchy vs. totalitarianism.

 

I'm glad. But you misunderstand the terms.

 

of course they do, but not convinced (that right and left are not biblical in essence). you haven't said anything to back this up, nor responded to my arguments for right and left. i get the impression you're not going to.

 

Okay, before you said R/L was a different category from biblical.
