Nationalism is basically a strong feeling of loyalty to one’s nation and recognizing ties with other members of the group. All countries have this, I’m sure you’re proud to be American to some degree, but Hitler brought it to the extreme.

Socialism is the ideology that Hitler used to justify the state control of industries, at the same time (and more importantly) however, Hitler was at the extreme right with Fascism. Fascism goes further than Conservatism in that it is not only the belief of maintaining a hierarchy of wealth, but also a hierarchy of ethnic groups.

From left-wing to right-wing:
Communism/Socialism (equality of wealth) – Social Democratic (equality of opportunity) – Liberal (equality of rights) – Conservative (hierarchy of wealth) – Fascist (hierarchy of races).

Since the USA is a Liberal Democracy, most politicians don’t go more left than Social Democratic, or more right than Conservative. The US was founded on the Liberal ideas of freedom (liberty) and free-market economics (or “liberalized economy”).

What changed is that Conservatives believe in Classical Liberalism which is from the 19th century (personal freedom, limited government, equality of right, consent of the governed) and Modern Liberals believe in Reform Liberalism from the 20th century (same as above, but larger role of government in economy in order to improve opportunities). One of the things that people noticed is that the free market doesn’t work perfectly when individuals are illiterate and can’t understand work contracts, so the government intervened in the free market by providing public education. Now the government intervenes in other areas as well – the extent of which may be debatable.

I don’t understand the way “liberal” is becoming a bad word in the US. Remember that the word “liberal” comes from the Latin “Liber”, meaning “free”. So Democrats and Republicans are all technically Liberals if they believe in liberal democracies as a system of government.

Hitler was at the extreme right, believing that Germans were a superior race. Hitler was in no way liberal, he did not believe in freedom, he wanted to make slaves for the German people. He also destroyed the democratic (liberal) institutions which allowed for the liberal ideas of: personal freedom, limited government, equality of right, consent of the governed. Germany was no longer a Liberal Democracy, but rather a Fascist Dictatorship when he took complete power.

On your last point: Hitler was a Christian. All religions can fall into any of the political ideologies I mentioned above, there is no correlation except maybe in the case of religion being forbidden in Communism/Socialism, and that whatever religion is the main religion in Conservative (Monarchies, Theocracies…) and Fascist states usually becomes everyone’s forced religion. Liberal democracies allow “Freedom of Religion” therefore the acceptance of all religious beliefs and non-belief. Many of the founders of the US escaped prosecution for their beliefs in Europe under Conservative Monarchic rule, to form a free and open society, a Liberal society. One that will continue to change and hopefully only improve over time.

“Atheist your organisations” Oh yeah, becouse atheist would carry belt buckets saying “gott mit uns” ( God with uss )

Hitler was a conservative christian who waged a death war on homosexuals, jews, gypsies, and guess what, athiests. He had the SS not only goe against “enemies of the state” but allso against people going against church doctrine, in other word “heretics”.

Its frightening how often he spoke about fulfilling the work of Jesus and he was an admirer of Marthin Luther. Dont believe me, do your research, you will find that what i wrote is true. Read the Main kampf, and listen to one of his speeches, dont even need to know german, “gott” is god and you will recognise the name of Jesus, in all of his speaches he mention it at least five times.

Nixon – Watergate (trying to manipulate the electorial process)
Reagan – (Iran Contra scam)
Bush – list is waaaay toooo long

Republican politicians are nothing but thieves, outside of politics most would be average con men or white collar criminals (the few with a decent education).

Conservative – Can’t sleep at night because they worry what the neighbors “might” be doing.

Liberal – Live and let live.

Why are there tons of illegal aliens (Mexicans) in our country, why have so many companies left the US for cheap foreign labor, why do we have more people in prison per capita than anywhere else in the world, why do I feel like my vote as an American is useless, why can’t I find a good “American” doctor…Republicans. Republicans only care about making themselves richer. They care nothing about the average American or the country and use religion as a means to maintain control. It all comes down to supporting, shhhh (don’t tell anyone), the “New World Order”. Remember that phrase? The phrase was dropped long ago because of extreme opposition by the American people. But look around yourself today, the phrase might have died but the idea is quickly becoming reality…and the American people will not realize it happened until it’s too late to change.

Anti American – Banning a person’s right to protest a government they believe is not working in the best interest of the people it represents (flag burning).

Patriotic – Burning a country’s flag when you believe the people under it are no longer being properly represented by their government.

Btw, China makes most US flags now ;)

I actually found something the other day that is still made in America, very odd. The ONLY US made car in this year’s Daytona 500 was a Toyota, all the “US” cars are made elswhere. Wake up Americans, the republican party is selling your country for some quick cash!

Oh yeah, and what ever happened to that 12 billion (with a “b”) dollars Bush demanded to be packed up at the treasury and crated over to Iraq. It just happened to “disappear”…oh, how handy. Thieves.

__ This is even wrong. Hitler made a terroris incident before he came to power, that’s right. But this terrorist incident wasn’t the reason why he became to power. I wont get say that Hilter was a allright person (I am really against him) but Adolf Hilter came to the power on a LEGAL way. Reichspr??Ǭßsident (President of the German Empire) v.Hindenburg named him as the chancellor of the empire LEGALY. Just after v.Hindeburg died, it all left controll: Hitler brought the legislative to the executive branch of government. When v.Hindenburg died, Hitler had the full dimension of power.

Just a little lesson in German history, my dear ….

don’t write about things you don`t know.

“Of course we’re after Iraq.. eh.. Saddam Hussein.. I mean bin Laden.”
- George W. Bush

LOL

Hitler really liked islam and he had a plan to be a religion of his reich. He didn’t practice it, but he thought, it would be good for his people.

I don’t agree. Stalingrad&Ardennes – there weren’t alternative optimal decisions.

Invasion in Russia failed in december 1941. After this failing the only optimal decision comprised quick retreat to Russian borders and very unprofitable armistice, but such options in that time were unthinkable not only for Hitler. Stalingrad was an attempt to use Wehrmacht’s fading advantage in motorized warfare. Insufficience of military might became clear when Russians broke through German flanks which were covered by Romanians.

Ardennes… well, how about alternative again? With air superiority of Western Allies (same unsufficience of German military might) only thing Hitler could hope to achieve is strike to disrupt their logistics. Operation relied on weather heavily, but luck wasn’t on Hitler’s side.

Calais… and what’s the difference? Aforementioned air superiority of UK&US (61:1, IIRC?) was able to secure any place of invasion, German forces in Western Europe prior to D-Day were woefully inadequate… No, I guess there wasn’t any difference. Hollywood and German generals have other opinion – former needs dramatic effects, latters needs some payback to leader who humiliated them. :-)

Stubborness of Hitler paid off quite well in pre-war period, so he got used to it. Imho, of course.

Afterwar myth spawned by German generals. Hitler?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s war strategy was adequate. Reason of his demise was insufficience of military forces. The only mistake fuhrer done was the start of war itself, he

Half myth, half truth. He actually made some let?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•s say suboptimal decisions which went wrong big time. Examples: Stalingrad, his “knowlegde” that the invasion would strike at Calais and the offensive in the Ardennes 1944/45. And every time he was to stubborn to admit his fault and thus sent even more men to their deaths.

Reclaim your country! IMPREACH BUSH!

Hi.
>

philosophs… they belived that the old arian race developed from indio germanic influance and such things…

its just a occult sect … if you want it so… its true that hitler advantaged the islam , theology sciencentist… but more to get his own occult world vision more reachable. he thought about the things bevor islam christ and all these things…
