Is Adolf getting a bad rap these days?

There is no person more commonly used as
an example of evil personified than Adolf
Hitler. Every day someone makes the comparison.
Examples are easy to find: |
| |
"What are the Israelis supposed to do? Wait for a repeat of Hitler's death camps. Never again! Never again!"
Mark Levin,
former Reagan Justice Dept. official, now a conservative talk show host
|
|
"Hitler sought pretexts to attack other nations. The Zionist regime is seeking baseless pretexts to invade Islamic countries and right now it is justifying its attacks with groundless excuses."
|
|
So there you have it: opposite sides of the topic du jour,
each using Hitler to prove a point about the other side!
But neither Ahmadinejad or Levin ever met Adolf
Hitler or talked with him, or looked into his eyes
to see his soul. What do they know except what the
history books say about Hitler? It is all second
or third hand information.
|
|
So, was Hitler as bad as Hitler, or was he a victim of history books written by the victors?
Well, I don't know, but after seeing George W. Bush in action, I am inclined to think about Adolf Hitler as a member of a set, a type of man who unfortunately achieves
|
great power and goes on to start wars and create horrible tragedies.

There's much more than this at Unknown News.

In fact, there is considerable evidence — again
second or third hand — that Adolf Hitler was a
churchgoing, Bible-believing dude. For example:
The religious views of Adolf Hitler| |
Excerpt: "My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross." |
Had Hitler won WWII and if the Third Reich now ruled
the world, perhaps people would be saying
different things about him now. I think it is a safe
bet that Fox News would have lots of nice things to
say about the Reich.
The problem is that when we compare someone living
to someone dead, and we haven't personally met either
person, to a certain extent we are talking out of
our asses.
Take Ken Lay, for example, another gentleman who got a
bum rap. Last week the Reverend Doctor William
Lawson — who has met Ken Lay and knows first hand
of his generosity — said Ken Lay would be eventually
vindicated:
Ken Lay's memorial attracts power elite| |
Excerpt: The Reverend Dr. Bill Lawson compared Lay with civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesus Christ, and said his name would eventually be cleared. "He was taken out of the world right at the right time," he said. "History has a way of vindicating people who have been wronged." |
I actually saw Reverend Lawson come on TV and repeat, what a good guy Ken Lay was.
And maybe Dr. Bill is right. I never met Ken Lay.
He might be one of the greatest men of our time,
just tragically misunderstood. Who can really say
for sure. Not the jury that convicted him of 10
felonies. Maybe it was a frame-up...
On the other hand, I have never met Reverend Lawson,
and it is possible that he is just simple-minded. Perhaps
he remembers the money Ken Lay put in the collection
plate. If you put $100,000 in my begging bowl
I would be inclined to say nice things about you at
your funeral.
So, was Hitler as bad as Hitler, or was he a victim
of history books written by the victors? Well,
I don't know, but after seeing George W. Bush in
action, I am inclined to think about Adolf Hitler
as a member of a set, a type of man who unfortunately
achieves great power and goes on to start wars and
create horrible tragedies.
