Another Thought for the Day

This is a message for the Left:

If we on the Right were as you have imagined us, a bunch of NAZIS, then you on the Left would already be dead.

If I have a complaint about the Right, it is that may they be a bit too nice under the present circumstances.

Of course in reality the National Socialist German Worker's Party was a bunch of Lefties with spiffy uniforms and a leather fetish. In the context of the politics of the Weimar Republic they were the moderates as compared to the German Communist Party who, unlike the National Socialists, apparently went in for an early version of the "grunge" style of attire.

Or at least Bertholt Brecht did.
