"The national government will maintain and defend the foundations on which the power of our nation rests. It will offer strong protection to Christianity as the very basis of our collective morality. Today Christians stand at the head of our country. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit. We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theatre, and in the press -- in short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of liberal excess during the past years."
Guess who?
Nope, not George Bush. Ralph Reed? Guess again. James Dobson? Nyet. It wasn't Pat Robertson or Rick Santorum, either.
It was Adolf Hitler.

I know we don't want to get all high-pitched and excitable and start babbling about how we're going down the Nazi path (or people immediately turn you off and stop listening), but...damnit, we ARE going down that path! The parallels are just plain damn scary! You just have to hope that people start to wake up before it's too late. I think they are...slowly.
