A lot of reading

That's the kind of day I have had.  I woke early, and noticed a rash.  But the rash went away, so that is kinda weird.  There must have been a cause in the bedroom, but what?

So, I pretty much stayed inside and read.

I read up on Hitler on the Wikipedia.  If you have read Shirer's book, you are familiar with his background and so forth.  Wikipedia seems to follow that story pretty much.

Is there anything worth commenting about with respect to Hitler?  I have a theory that the guy was devoted to untruth as a source of power.  Like all politicians, it seems, he told people what they wanted to believe.  Anybody who can sense what people yearn for, and can cynically use that to their advantage, will find a way towards power.  Trouble with that is, is that it can be twisted into something evil.  For example, Hitler sensed the Western powers really desired peace, so he took advantage by getting concessions, and then backing out of them after getting what he wanted.  In other words, he lied.  The pattern can be seen in more than this one way.  His rise to power was a lot like that, too.

Hitler is the favorite boogie man that the left likes to use against anyone who disagrees with them.  A quick study of Hitler shows that this accusation of Hitlerian villainy is untrue.  If the so-called right was anywhere near as unscrupulous as Hitler, the left would be in dire straits.  Indeed, many of them would be in jail, or in their graves by now.

I would also present the theory that you do not have to be a Hitler to oppose the leftists.  In fact, if you are more like Hitler, you might just fail, because anything short of that will fail against them.  In other words, if you copy them, and try to be a nice guy at the same time, they will destroy you.  Isn't that what so-called conservatives are always doing?  How's it been working lately?  Not good, unless you are delusional.

To beat them, try Reaganism.  Reagan was a nice fellow, but he was no fool.  Wish I could say that about these so-called conservatives today.
