On Nazi name calling

Nazi or Nazism are words tossed openly by today’s generation of adolescents and reinforced at times by today’s Democrats. If you openly speak of the issues facing all Americans, in particular, the deportation of immigrants who are here illegally, you’re called a Nazi, or if you support law enforcement like ICE working to remove criminals on the streets, you’re a Nazi.

What’s a Nazi? The Nazi Party was a political party in Germany active between 1920 and 1945 that created and supported the ideology of Nazism. ‘Initially, Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeoisie and anti-capitalism, disingenuously using socialist rhetoric to gain the support of the lower middle class’. But it’s not the lower-middle-class Americans who are spewing these Nazi words; it’s coming from many college-educated people, mainstream media and some politicians.

Central to Nazism were themes of racial segregation expressed in the idea of a “people’s community.” The party aimed to unite “racially desirable” Germans as national comrades while excluding those deemed to be either political dissidents, physically or intellectually inferior or of a foreign race. That foreign race was the Jews, and it led to Auschwitz concentration camp an extermination camp with gas chambers.

Today it’s antisemitism on our campuses where Jews are stopped from attending their classes at Harvard, Columbia and MIT, not the college of your average lower-middle-class person. Let’s listen to Albert Einstein and “learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”

It’s our America, land of the free, and “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
