The Truth Behind the New Tea Party Movement
by Loren Adams, 21 February 2010
“People who believe ABSURDITIES will soon commit ATROCITIES.” — (Cited from Voltaire by an intuitive Italian living during the Age of Fascism and the Great Depression followed by World War II who settled in New York where she passed down first-hand accounts to her children and grandchildren.)
Indeed, the experience was indelibly inscribed in her memory; so she strongly desired her descendants never to fall into a similar web. First, she observed young Nazis inflamed by the rhetoric of lies spewed from exceptionally charismatic leaders — such as Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. She watched as millions of Italians and Germans, primarily of the working class, hyper-religious, and less-educated rural provinces (the “red-states,”) believed the deception of racial and political purity. Then she beheld these masses — energized by oratory trickery — turn their false rage into violence, persecution, and finally death camps — where nearly 10 million were slaughtered and gassed, including 6 million Jews — not including the 50 million deaths due to needless war.

Parallel #6: God is with us — the elimination of separation between church and state
Adolf’s disciples within the Party concluded he was not a mere mortal but supernatural. “Hitler is lonely. So is God. Hitler is like God,” they reasoned. German kindergartners recited this prayer in the 1930s: “Dear Führer, we love you like our fathers and mothers. Just as we belong to them so we belong to you. Take unto yourself our love and trust, O Führer!”
At the onset of the last administration, Bush’s disciples called him “the man of God” and “the man of character.” A prayer card was issued to U.S. servicemen in Iraq. The DOD directed that these “prayer cards” be delivered to each soldier at the front without fail. Title: “A Christian’s Duty” with a tear-out portion to be mailed back to the White House as confirmation that they were, indeed, praying for Bush (while, ironically, they found themselves under enemy fire, thanks to the very man they were supposed to pray for).
The prayer was to be mailed back to the WH from the front. It read: “Pray that the President and his advisers will be strong and courageous to do what is right regardless of critics” (A not-so-subtle slam on Democrats and anti-war activists).
Nazis eliminated the separation of church and state by appointing “Reichbishop” Rev. Ludwig Mueller, who filled the position because Hitler recognized he was best able to sway the most Protestant evangelicals. That segment was quite impressionable; people that believe myths are putty in propagandists’ palms. Fundamentalists were influenced by traveling evangelists and trendy doctrines; thus were easy Nazi prey.
From his first days in office, Bush attacked the separation of church and state set forth in the U.S. Constitution. His “faith-based initiative” was a direct assault on the nation’s foundation and on principles which strengthened both state and religion. He openly claimed God sent him on a mission to protect America and save the world for democracy. Americans most easily influenced by fake televangelists and trendy religion are more inclined to support Republicans.
Nazi Germany, on orders from the Führer, ordered belt buckles manufactured for its soldiers with these words: “God is with us.”
Like Republicans, Nazis were fond of invoking the Ten Commandments as the foundation of Germany. “The Ten Commandments are a code of living to which there’s no refutation. These precepts correspond to irrefutable needs of the human soul.” — A. Hitler
