It’s Not the ‘Right’ that Acts Like Nazis
“There must be no majority decisions, but only responsible persons … Surely every man will have advisers by his side, but the decision will be made by one man.”
Recently Obama stated that he wanted to pass legislation but he was “restrained by the Constitution”. News flash to Obama – we live in a Constitutional Republic, and our laws and our Courts are controlled by that document, not by you. Obama has shown that if he can’t stomp all over the Constitution, he is more than willing to make multiple end runs around it with Executive Orders. He needs to be told, in very loud language, that he is not in control. We, the People, are. Our elected officials are put in office by us, serve US and can be removed by us. We, the People, need to be reminded of this as well!
“The art of leadership . . . consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention . . . The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.”
Demonizing. That is what that quote is in one word. Demonizing. Are we on the right, not smeared as “rich old white men”, “heartless and uncompassionate”, “racist”, “greedy” and other invective?
Conservatives range from the Libertarian leaning to the far right, men, women, young and old, but we are all painted with the same brush. It’s much easier to spread lies and hate if you don’t have to see your “enemy” as a person.
The right isn’t the party that leans “Nazi”. Learn from history so the left doesn’t inflict it on us again.
