Your intellectual predecessors found dehumanization a useful rhetorical tool as well.



Locke? Burke? Smith? Hume? Tocqueville, Washington? Adams? Jefferson? Jay? Hayek? Von Mises? Buckley? Sowell? Thomas? Williams? Keys? Lewis? Truman Madsen? Neal Maxwell?

Which one?


You haven't read any of those guys except possibly Maxwell. Don't front, Droopy.

I'm sure you think this kind of rhetoric is devastating. :lol:

Actually, I've read all of them except Hume and Tocqueville, which I've only read in part, and in Hume's case, as part of a university class.

As to Mr. Hitler, the ironic reality is that he and his various programs were very popular (as were Mr. Lenin's, Mr. Stalin's, and Mr. Mussolini's) among a substantial number of the leftist intelligentsia that comprise your intellectual (and I use this term very loosely, in your case) patrimony during the 1930s (the progressives).


Until 1941.
Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven] and how familiar his face is to us

I am so old that I can remember when most of the people promoting race hate were white.

The fact that you still characterize Hitler as a leftist tells me all I need to know about how well read you are. :)

Actually, what this statement above tells me is the degree to which you are both extremely poorly read and fecklessly unaware of vast swaths of history and historical interpretation, and the degree to which you appear to be a tool.

Which is why you spend about 99% of your time here engaged in high school cut down contests, well poisoning, ad hominem smears, and posting graphics meant to defame character and impugn motives, and have little time to actually engage the arguments of others in a substantive manner - as if you had the intellectual temperament or background necessary to do so - which is clearly not the case.

You still think Hitler was a "leftist" :lol:
